Welsh reviewed Berton Rouche's narrative of medical detection, "The In curable Wound," at a meeting of Wednesday Study club February 17 at Girls Commu nity club. The author has gained con siderable distinction as a medical reporter and has re ceived several awards. Mr. Roueche relates how a Texas woman was bitten by a bat in 1951 and died a few days later and in 1953, in Florida, a small boy was saved by the Pasteur vaccine. He cited a third instance in which a salesman in Pennsylvania was bitten several times by a bat and was rushed to the hospi tal and vaccinated, thereby saving his life. Up until this' time the vam pire bat of Latin America was thought to be the only species of bat subject to rabies. To day rabid bats have been found in sixteen of our states and in 1956, many of the bats in Carlsbad Cavern were found to be infected, accord ing to the author. Mrs. Welsh traced the his tory of rabies and stated that it was known before the time of Christ and was called "ca nine madness."

ARTHUR MURRAY 320 E. Main - Medford Phone SP 3-5365 By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPD - O n c e women dressed to please men, but today, says one veteran fash ion ob server, they're caught in the drama of dressing for other women. The result, says Seymour Troy: "Wom en all look alike. There is n o individu ality of dress." Troy, a shoe designer manufacturer of more than 35 years, this week received the industry's first annual "Mer cury" - an award from the National Shoe Retailers asso ciation for his contributions to the footwear field. In an interview, Troy ex plained that in his opinion woman's invasion of the work ing world has been responsi ble largely for . the changing emphasis on dress. "Now," he said, "women feel they have to be competi tive with other women. But the competition has gone be yond business. It extends to their social behavior.'' Gals Dress For Men "Obviously women once dressed for the opposite sex," he said. "Else why did they endure the hell of the whale bone corset? But today, you are caught in the dilemma of trying to impress your own sex." The designer indicated that we still listen to the men - if they are sufficiently vo ciferous. Take the fate of the sack silhouette. "That was someone's effort to downgrade the figure of woman," said Troy. "It did not last because it didn't ap peal to men." In turn, he believes the skinny heel which the shoe in dustry gave us girls about five years ago and the pointed toe which he said is a modern version of ' a centuries - old j shape, will remain on the style scene. "Because they have sex ap peal," he said, "and goodness knows, no matter what they say, women suffer less in to day's shoes than they did in yesterday's stays." But he advocates a shoe "wardrobe" each pair de signed for the days activities. A pair of walking shoes, for instance, if you're on your feet all day, instead of skinny high heels and pointed toes. Immigrant's Success ' Troy, a member of a theatri cal tailoring family, was born in Lodz, a textile city in Po land, and migrated to the United States . in 1910. He helped finance his way through school by selling shoes. By 1923, he had saved enough money to open his own small factory. "But the shoe industry was n't yet ready for an American designer," he said. "It still looked to Europe for high style." To overcome this handicap, Troy simply jug gled the letters of his name to spell "Yrto." "Then," he laughingly re called, "I started selling. "Later I had one of New York's top retailers tell me if I'd remained Polish and grown a goatee, I'd have been a hit overnight." Today, the designer's cre ations carry his own name properly spelled, and women ante up $50 to $150 a pair for his custom designs. Troy contributions through the years, as listed by the shoe retailers group, include the A-symmetrical strap sil houette; the open sandal; the rolled top opera pump; the baby doll or short, rounded toe; the "Valkyrie," a series of shoes with high-rising in step cover which in the 1930s outdid the classic opera pump in popularity; the platform sole; and use of elasticized leathers and vinyl and lucite in shoes. Riders Announce Coming Events - Coming events of Medford Trail Riders include a public dance in early March, and a special meeting March 12.

Scenery and costuming in dicate that many of the stu dents have devoted much time and effort to this big event of their senior year. The play's director, Mrs. Lenore Zapell, is surely happy with the outcome of this year's selection for pre sensation. Those who forego the evening television or oth er events for the second and final performance of Pygma lion tonight should be equally pleased to watch some "local talent" in a job well done. For a high school choice, the play has the right amount of humor, moralizing and "zing" to please the students and their families alike. Curtain time tonight is 8 o'clock. E.O.

Serving luncheon at noon were Mrs. Harry Buckmaster, Mrs. Jessie Walters, Mrs. Reimer Peterson, Mrs. Robert Peterson and Mrs. Mary Pap-ton. Recorded Music Better Than None, Says Director UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPD - Canned music drums at us in so many public places that to me si lence becomes more golden every day. This member of the captive audience is ear-weary of the impersonal strains bombard ing from all sides - on ele vators, in department stores, banks, beauty shops, super markets, restaurants, cocktail lounges, on buses and planes, in waiting rooms of railroad and bus stations. If the piped in trend continues to grow, I fear that music which ought to soothe may make us all a little savage. Not true, says Andre Koste lanetz. The famed conductor and recording artist sees plenty of good to be derived from the sounds surrounding us. To me, they're a distracting caco phony. To Kostelanetz, they're the promise of increased ap preciation of music. "I certainly don't denounce such music," said Kostelanetz, in an interview. "I don't need it and don't like it, but let's! analyze its effect. "Some music In the lives of people is better than no mu sic at all. "This canned music, as you say, may help many to discov er that music and sound mean a great deal to them. "I am an optimist," said Kostelanetz. "I believe it will prove useful in the years ahead, when as a nation we will have more leisure hours." The conductor, who is equal ly at home in the popular and classic fields, explained that the effect of this music could be compared to a chance visit to a museum or art gallery. "Something registers," he said. "But it may take a while. Five years hence, you may begin collecting art. And five years from now, with more time, maybe more of us will turn to music." Attends Sessions Mrs. Hazel Rawles, depart ment president of the Disabled American Veterans auxiliary in Oregon, left Medford yes terday for Portland and today is attending the annual offi cers' meeting. February 20 she will pre side at a meeting of the state executive board to be held in the DAV hall, and Sunday will attend a district session also scheduled in Portland. Monday, February 22, she will attend the annual Americani zation program sponsored by all veteran organizations of Portland.
