) SIX MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, November 20, 1957 The Medical Roundup by o RineMtTi. STUDY OF EPILEPSY Neil Bertram, of the Michigan Epilepsy center in Detroit, was just telling me about an idea t h a t pleases me much. Each summer for 10 weeks the center sends around into the rural areas of the state an elec t r oencephalo graph. This is placed in a Or Alvare van, and is run by- two techni cians. The instrument tremen dously amplifies the tiny cur rents that are constantly being formed in the brain, and causes them to record themselves on yards of moving paper. I think it is wonderful to have the machine sent around through the stafe because each month, O I get sad letters from mothers of possibly epileptic children who wish they could get an elec troencephalogram made, but are unable to take the child to a distant city, or if they could af ford to travel would'nt know where to go or they could not pay the fee of 30 or 40 dollars. tnentni Coninltant In Medlctn., Mayo Clmie Em.rttni Profeisor of Medlcln.

Clifford Paulson, GOC representative in Medford. This is the number of has tantrums of temper, and he j civilian vplunteers who have has terrible nightmares. As the home doctor says, if he knew that the boy was an epileptic, like one or two of his relatives, perhaps he could help lum a lot with one of the new anti-epileptic drugs. I hope that soon every state will have one or two electroen cephalographs being taken around through the country. One use for the instrument would be to help the near relatives of epileptics, who are planning to marry, to see if they and their "intended" are carrying the tendency in the brain. For two persons with the same tendency to marry would be like two first cousins from a handicapped fam ily marrying. It could be dis asterous to many of the children they might have. People who suffer from 'epi lepsy or from something that looks like epilepsy, can get help and advice by writing the sec retary of the National Epilepsy League, 130 N. Wells St. Chi cago 6, Illinois.

The abandonment of the 24 hour watches is due to the tech nical advances in electronics skywatch equipment, the air force agreeing to relieve the ci vilians of their duties, and the experience gained 'in mobiliza tion of the corps when needed, he reported. The representative reported that GOC members not on active reserve status as of July 1 will go into that category Jan. 1. He said the new status means that the personnel will man observa tion posts and filter centers only during training, military exer cises, and emergency periods.

This is not a ship on its way to Davey Jones' Locker it's just the Tonia A, a crab boat wallowing in the Pacific off the Golden Gate. That's San Francisco in the background. The Tonia A, along with other boats from famed Fishermen's Wharf, didn't let a 15-knot northeasterly wind and heavy ground swells keep her from heading out to sea for the season's first day of crab fishing.

"There are a dozen different answers," Dr. Karl Menger, mathematics professor at Illi nois Institute of Technology, said. "And since that letter oc cures on practically every page in every mathematical text, there is confusion all the way up and down the line. "The language, of mathema tics, from algebra on, is in need of a thorough classification," he said. "Its presentation to begin ners must be changed if the ex pected large numbers of stu dents are to learn the basic mathematics ideas." Menger proposes to formulate clear rules for the use of all mathematical symbols, especial ly the letters "x" and "y", through a three-year study grant from the Carnegie Corp. of New York. TAKING commanding lead over his nearest opponent, President Carlos P. Garcia wins presidency in Philip pines election.

OP) The corn ear worm, one of the most serious agricultural pests, may soon be controlled because of its weakness for the color yellow. This pest to sweet and field corn likes all bright colors, but of nine variously colored cloths tested it was most partial to the yellow. Knowing this weakness, researchers may be able to develop a trap or a bait for kill ing the corn ear worm or at least for luring it away from its prey. At present hand-applied DDI controls the pest, but it is too ex pensive to be used extensively.
