Rheumatic Fever Decline Noted in Medical Lecture BY DGLOS SMITH UP! Science Editor j New York -IUPD- Take no tice of 'what has happened to rheumatic fever, once the su- " p r e me killer o I children, over the past few decades. It has declined so much that "the next gen- S Art!n 4.. dents may I f"weU learn 01 fc. vT. j . i:i rheumatic fev- Deioi smith er as they now do of typhoid, largely from the written word." Dr. Edward F. Bland was speaking. He was taking no tice of the decline of the disease of his speciality in a medical lecture. There are reasons for its fall, he said, but not enough reasons to fully explain it. Probably World-Wide The decline has occurred In the United States, Canada, through-out western Europe and probably is world-wide. For the purpose of a clear demonstration, Bland took decade-by-decade figures from the House of the Good Samar itan, Boston, where he works. In the 20s decade, eight of 100 died within a year after the first attack of rheumatic fever, and 16 died within two to five year. In the 50s only one died during the first year and only two in two to five years. Bland also compared his decade-figures to illustrate a decline in the after-effects of the disease on the heart. In the 20s decade only 15 out of the 100 cases escaped with- FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE Exrensiv.

In the 50s 28 out of 100 so escaped. A number of things prob ably contributed to this change for the better, he said, and "perhaps of first impor tance was the considerable over - all improvement in standards of living for the poorer classes of urban areas." Isolate Carriers The measures that were taken to Isolate streptococcal carriers and protect Infected patients, helped. This was the time when the sulfa drugs were becoming available to fight infections. Yet Bland was not satisfied that all these factors com bined accounted for the disease's decline. "One cannot fully discount a natural mutation of the disease in a favorable direc tion as a result of more resis tant hosts children and less vigorous organisms (strepto cocci bacteria)," he said. Portland Worker Killed by Cave-in Portland-flJPD-Walter Dens ler, 53, trapped for about an hour in a cave-in at a north west Portland sewer construc tion project, was dead on ar rival at Good Samaritan hos pital Monday afternoon. A companion escaped. Earl Beardslee, 45, suffer ed painful injuries to both legs when sandy soil, loosen ed by moisture, caused the cava-in. Beardslee was trapped only briefly: A iire department battalion chiff said. Pehsler's chest was crushed1 by Vthe heavy weight of . sand ' and "-'rock pushing against a heavy beam. President Resumes Vacation Schedule Augusta,' GafflPD-President Elsenhower, today resumed his' vacation schedule at the Augusta' National Golf Club, working in his office during the early morning and playing golf later in the day. The Chief Executive flew to Washington Monday for the opening day baseball game between Washington and Bos ton and returned here in the late afternoon, elated over the Senators' 10-1 ' win over the Red Sox. " " Eisenhower obviously re garded the Washington vic tory well worth his 1,200-mile plane trip. He used helicop ters between the golf club and the Augusta airport, and from the Washington ball park to the National Airport. - ..-71 tz - ir vi wan iiiotjo -.

Gregory S. - I feel like a spare tire. Jane S. - I was recently married for the second time to a wonderful man whom I adore. Unfortunately, h e doesn't seem really to believe this. My ex-husband takes our two children out on week ends and comes to visit them once a week at home. When it's Joe's night to visit, Greg does a disappearing act. He wants me to go out with him too and is very hurt when I want to stay in and talk to Joe. I don't hate my ex-husband and never did. We lust couldn't get along and I guess it was as much my fault as his. Anyway. I lived with him for more than ten years and we have a lot in common, I can't treat him like a strang er and I think Greg should be friendly too. Gregory S. - And Just what am I supposed to do while Jane and Joe sit around chewing the rag about things that happened years ago7 I m a spare tire. The kids like me well enough when I m alone with them but when their dad's there, they act as though I'm invisible. I don't think Jane ought to be around either when Joe is there. It's not that I'm jealous, as she believes. It's just that the kids have a right to be alone with their dad when they see him only twice week. When Jane and Joe start talking the kids don't get a word in edgewise. Jane thinks we can an oe one happy family, but I think two husbands In one room at the same time Is too much. The Council! Greg's point of view seems reasonable to us and we don't aulte see why Jane fails to understand and sympathize. We have a sneak ing suspicion she must rather enjoy having these two men In her life around at tne same time, each feeling a little dis turbed about his status in rela tion to her. Certainly, twice a week isn't a lot of time for children to see their father and they should get his undivided at tention. It Is a perfect oppor tunity for Jane and Gregg to go out together, knowing the children are in the best pos sible hands. We think it must also be disturbing to the children to have two fathers around at the same time. It s an idea they'll have to get used to, but until they do, it is cer tainly wise to make things a little easier for them. Since this marriage is a re cent one, it will take time to stabilize Itself. A second mate often feels a little Insecure about how he measures up against Number One. Only after time has proved the val ue of the new marriage can he feel he Is the one and only real" husband.

Sanford, assistant man ager, Arnold Trigsted, and Rich Richardson. room at one time is too much reveals his attitude only too clearly. Eventually Greg will feel firmly entrenched in his wife's life and then Joe's visits may make him less uncomfortable. Until that time comes, we see no point in pushing this fanv ily's "togetherness" beyond the reasonable limit.
