MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, ORE. THtmRPAT, SEPTEMBER 1. 1160 6 A Sate Rales Over Love In Red China New York-(Science Service) An admirer of Communist Chinese girl told her that he was going to Korea to fight against the Americans. She told him, "Go ahead. It is only after you say you are going to Korea to . tight for our country that I feel I love you." . This is how Chinese Com' munista weave indoctrination into love stories. The example is from Chinese magazine lit erature and was reported by Dr. Lucy Jen Huang of Boston university to . the America Sociological association here, She cited a similar scnti tnent, expressed by an ad mirer who watched the beau tiful colors of the sky at su et with hit Chinese girl friend. He waxed poetic and said he would like to weave her cloth from the multicolors of the sky. His much more prac tical girl friend answered that In this time of urgent produc tion and reconstruction should rather weave blue and gray cloth for the soldiers. Dr. Huang said that today the editors of Chinese maga zines are told by the leaders of the country what stories to publish in order to indoctri nate the people. She told Sci ence Service that she got thi data for her report from the bi-weckly Chinese magazine, Women of China. Patterns Changing Dr. Huang reported that the patterns of dating and courtship are changing in Communist China, although some of the old customs still influence the thinking of the people. She said there is much greater freedom in choosing a mate in China today than there was in earlier times. There are no arranged mar riages any more, she said. These are, however, some semi- arranged marriages, mostly made by friends of the : couple. The women of Communst China tend to exploit the male more than in former ' times, and they negotiate more to get what they want in a spouse, Dr. Huang said. There is a pendency on women In the Communst Chinese society, and men cater more to wom en than they used to do, Chinese engagements are " short. Dr. Huang said. Just as in older times, young Chi nese find it difficult to meet for a long time and get emo tionally involved without get ting married. Illegitimacy is frowned upon today as it was jy earlier times. Early Marriages The legal age for marriage In Communist China Is IB for women and 20 for men. This is earlier than before. Be cause of the early marriages, many women have three chil dren by the time they are 25 and lose valuable working hours for the slate, This worries the leaders of the regime, and they there fore try to persuade women to marry at a later age. Today many poems praise the wom an who goes lo work on her wedding day. Such a woman is called a heroine In Chinese literature, Dr. Huang said, Today the Ideal woman works for five years while she lets her marriage wait until she has fulfullled this duty to the slate. This type woman in Chinese literature even forgets dates with her fiance as she works eagerly for the state, There are many reasons for the early marriages In Com munist China, Dr. Huang said. LilIU Money Naedtd 1, Not much money Is needed. Communist Chinese do not hitve elaborate wed dings. If they do, people crlt icize them. Weddings used to be great occasions in China and Dr. Huang said that older people regret these new mod est marriages, t 2. When they get out of school, the state sends them anywhere. Therefore ' many young people marry someone from the home environment so the two can go away to gether Instead of finding a mate in a strange environ mcnt. S. There are no worries about getting a job. Everyone has to work, regardless. The Chinese Communists teach through their magazine literature a "socialist morali ty" In which the state comes , first ideally and where love is based on contribution to the party, Dr. Huang said. Of the five good virtues taught in modern Communist China number one is that everyone should be a good producer.. The other virtues concern good health, simple and frugal living, neighborli- Bachelor Tops In Cooking Contest Brompton, England - OIPD A sponge sandwich and a fruit cake, both whipped up by the same chef, won first prizes Wednesday in a local cooking contest.

Doctor's Burned Hand Leads To New Treatment Chicago (Science Service)- The pain of burns can be less ened and healing speeded by immediate treatment with ice water, a phyalcian has acci dentally discovered. Dr. Alex G. Shulman of Los Angeles began this treat ment eight years ago after he burned his own hand with boiling grease. "In the ensuing agonizing few minutes," he said, "it seemed logical to plunge the hand into a tub of cold wa ter." Dr. Shulman found tnat aft- er about an hour's immersion his hand could be removed without further pain of any consequence and that the burn seemed to heal more rapidly than he expected. He reports in the Journal of the American Medical as sociation published here that since his accidene he has suc cessfully used Ice water as an Initial treatment of 150 patients for burns of all de grees but covering less than 20 per cent of the body.

Pain may return as the water be comes warm but the addition of ice cubes gives continued relief. No Infections occurred in patients treated within one hour after the burn. Chilled Towels The physician adds hexa- chlorophene to the ice water a basin, or if burns of the head, neck, shoulders, chest or other portions of the anat omy make Immersion imprac- ISSiISSltm ra E3 ra ra ra L2 guj pum gjMB KgffiS El EE i ,ntin tM,.. i ifal iTall I LI (LB BfTILSi EiililM im ml You Get More Of Everything With Thrifty Green Stamps Yours at the Grocateria! great deal of de- Z ,., in the disinfected solution.

He says: "While the value of this mode of therapy for patient;: with extensive burns in shock remains to be tested on large scale, its merits for those with burns of lesser degree should not be doubted. . ncss and studiousncss.
