T SUNDAY. NOVEMBER I, I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. The Medical Roundup . it. - Emerltut Cfiniulttnt In Medlclnt nuyo Clinic Bmcrltui Profeisur of Medlclnt Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate, I960) If -f i Heiearch on Vitiligo Those thousands of persons who suffer from vitiligo with its big white patches of skin will be glad to hear that at a recent c o n g ress of E n d o c rinol ogy, , held at Cop enhagen, there was dis cussion of a substance now called only i)K M.VAT.KZ Aipna - Marl, which, when given to a man or woman, quickly causes all of the skin to darken. Dr. Aaron B. Lerner, of the Yale University School of Medi cine, has been working with the substance, which resem bles chemically the ACTH which comes from the pitui tary gland, and causes the adrenal glands to secrete cor tisone. I hope people will not write me asking that I send them the drug because I have none of it. I mention it here only to give hope to the many people who keep writing me about their vitiligo. This is not a dangerous disease, but the white patches make peo ple ashamed and embarrassed. Need for Making Cleareut Diagnosis Dr. R. A. Jensen, Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Minne sota, while speaking to the London Conference on the Sci entific Study of Mental De ficiency, emphasized the need for making of more exact dif ferential diagnosis. Why? Be cause many a child who is at first thought to be mentally deficient, turns out to be emo tionally disturbed, or not ma turing quite as fast as chil dren commonly do, or suffer ing from some nervous dis ease; or he is deaf, or unable to speak, or has some here ditary defect in body chemis try which causes injury to be done to his brain, or he has some defect in one of the body glands, like the thyroid gland. Sometimes by making an ex act diagnosis sometning can be done to help the child Dr. Eleanor M. Creak, of London, said that quite a few of the children who are sent to a hospital for mentally de fective children are really psychotic. This becomes obvi ous as the children grow into their teens. They prove to be bright enough but they are erratic and unpredictable and difficult in their behavior. This discussion will please many a mother who feels sure that her child is not feeble-minded. She has seen signs of intelligence that the l.Q. tests have not revealed. Medford Students Named to Group Three Medford Hifih school students, Jerry Gastineau, Jim Stever, and Mike Phil lips, have been named to a high school advisory commit tee to the slate attorney gen eral on crime prevention. The Medford High school committee will join similar groups in high schools throughout the state in aiding the Attorney General's Exper imental Program for the Pre vention of Crime (EPPOC). The EPPOC program, first of its kind in the nation, was inaugurated last spring after a statewide crime conference called by Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton and at tended by 150 experts in all field related to crime preven tion. Out of this grew the citizen's advisory committee on crime prevention, of which the high school groups will be a part. Recommendations of the committee will be coordi nated and put into action by crime prevention division in the state department of jus tice. First duties of the high school committees will in clude enumerating all agen cies in their communities which are engaged in some form of crime prevention, and evaluating their effectiveness in the prevention of crime and delinquency.

'Lefty' Gomez Tells Of Experiences As New York Yankee New York-IUPD-Arlhur God frey, 56, will undergo minor surgery this week for the re moval of a fatty tumor on his back, his office reported today. Vernon (Lefty) Gomez en tertained 182 members of the Rogue Valley Knife and Fork club with stories about his baseball experiences Thurs day night at the Rogue Valley Country club. Gomez is a former star pitcher who played for the New York Yankees. He re called stories collected during his 14 years with the Yankees, one year with the Boston Braves and managerial ten ures in South American, Cuba and the U.S. Gomez said that one record he holds is for the longest home run ever hit in Yankee stadium. "Few people know about this," he said. "Jimmy Foxx hit the 460-foot homer off of me," he informed the gathering. 'Fool the Opposition' Gomez recalled that he was 19 years old when he joined the Yankees. "I was known as the worst hitter to ever ap proach home plate," he said "Mv teammates would tell me to fool the opposition, and hit a foul, he related. He told of one occasion when the newspapers printed a humorous headline regard ing his hitting ability. "In a world scries game I walked to start a seven - run Yankee rally. The next day's paper was headlined 'Gomez finally shows his power , he said, Other stories Gomez told were about his experiences with Babe Ruth, Joe Di Maggio, Yogi Bcrra and other Yankee stars. He told of one of Ruth's more famous remarks. Ruth was asked to pose with Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. "Everyone knew Roose velt but Ruth," Gomez re called. When the Babe posed for the picture, he said to Roosevelt, "Okay kid, do you want it shaking hands or with my arm around you," Gomez related. Dog Control To Be On Ballot Jackson County Clerk Mar vin Madden reminded voters Friday that a dog control pro posal will appear on the gen eral election ballot Tuesday, Nov. 8. It will appear at least once on every ballot, and In some precincts it will appear twice, Madden said. Precincts in which it will appear twice are 1 through 13 in the municipal bound aries of Ashland and in 19, 21, 24, 27, 31, 57, 58B, 83, 65, 66, 74, 79, 81, 82, 83 and 88. The measure will read just as it did during the May 20 primary-"For dogs running at large -yes,, and tor dogs running at large-no." In the primary, Jackson county residents voted for dog control, and as a result dogs must now be either tied, muz zled or under the control of their master at all times. Since then, petitions were submit ted to revote on the issue in an attempt to repeal action taken at the primary. If voters wisli to have dogs running at large, they should vote yes. Madden said, and if they wish to keep dog control in effect, they should vote no. Dog control in Medford, which voted separately last May, will not be affected no matter which way the county wide vote goes. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins The Boat Shells Are Juii .other obstructions, holding Right for Water Babies tenaciously to their support If there could be such by means of the powerful things in the seas as "water babies" they most certainly would use the so-called "boat shells" as a means of travel ing from place to place. The shell is called "boat shell" for a very obvious rea son, for there is a tiny "half deck" in each shell, partially enclosing one end. Some call it the slipper shell; they mis take the little partition as the tongue of a slipper. Another common name that suggests the baby cradle idea is "candle shell." This strikes a sentimental chord in many folks, and the name is delight fully descriptive., The slipper, baby-foot or cradle shell usually is marked prominently, with brown streaked with dull while, or even an off shade of purple. The inside, as well as the liny "half-deck," is shiny and as smooth as porcelain. The little half deck extends near ly one half of the length of the interior; beginning at the stern end. Normally, these shells at tack themselves to rocks or muscle that forms the mantle of the animal. Regardless of the strength or ferocity of pounding waves and boiling surf, the little fellows hang on; their shells protecting the soft, inner bodies. In this re spect they are almost turtle- like, with the exception, of course, that there are no legs, The shells will conform to the irregularities of the rock to which they are attached. Very often the shell attaches itself to oilier shells, or even to the backs of other slipper shells and will, if necessary, grow one alop another until tile bollom shell must be very uncomfortable witli the added load on its back. This method of support causes a great many odd shapes as each shell fashions itself to its own support, mak ing it impossible to find two shells lhal are anywhere near the same shape. A severe storm, with waves that may reach down deep into the sea, will dislodge mil lions of the little boat shells, and eventually will wash D 3 Phoenix Students Attend Workshop Phoenix-Five Phoenix High school students attended the student library assistants' workshop sponsored by tho Oregon Education association in Roseburg recently.
