The Medical Roundup Consultant In Medicine Mavo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine Mayo Clinic (Ref lster and Tribune Syndicate. 1961) The Public Affairs Commit tee, 22 East 38th st., New York 16, has a new pamphlet (25 cents) on Cerebral Pal sy, which can help thou- sands of par ents with a palsied child. (Write to them and not to me). It can tell them Alvarez m u c n aDoui the disease, and it can tell them what to read, and where to write for help and informa tion. It tells where they can get scholarship aid, post graduate training, and so forth. There are a number of organizations that help with these children. Cerebral palsy results from damage to the brain before, during, or after birth. Natural ly, then, there are a number of causes, some of them still obscure. Recently, less im portance has been attached to mechanical injuries during birth and more to an injury to Burglars Get $643 In Happy Camp Happy Camp - Burglars broke into a Happy Camp store Thursday night and took $643 the owner had hidden under a vegetable rack for safe keeping. Siskiyou county sheriff's deputies said Hall's Mercan tile store reported the bur glary. Entry was made through a wood chute in the store basement, according to deputies. The burglars either knew where the cash was kept or discovered it accidentally, they indicated. The store is owned by Dr. C. A. Hall. Hall said preliminary inves tigation indicated nothing else had been taken. ' The store safe hadn't been disturbed. A box of pennies was untouched. Hall indicated he thought the burglars were familiar with the store prior to taking the money. Medford Youths on Auctions Committee Eugene - Lou Elsa Voegtly, Medford, will be a cochairman with Timothy Titus of Port land on the Auctions commit tee for World University Serv ice Week which will be ob served on the University of Oregon campus during the week of April 17-21. Miss Voegtly, a sophomore majoring in music, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rob ert Voegtly, 2012 Westerlund dr. World University Service Week was organized to raise money to be used for material assistance to staff and stu dents in need throughout the world. the child's brain early in pregnancy. Rarely, there may have been an injury wrought by the Rh factor. There ap pears, also, to be a factor of heredity in some families. Parents should never have a sense of guilt about having be gotten a cerebral palsied child. Different children have dif ferent degrees of handicap. Some are so badly off that they cannot talk or walk or leed themselves, or go to the bathroom alone. There are speech defects in from 50 to 75 per cent of the children; mental retardation in perhaps 50 per cent; troubles with sight in about 50 per cent, occasional convulsions in per haps 35 per cent; and impair ment of hearing in 25 per cent. The wonderful thing is that with expert training many children who originally were unable to do anything for themselves later can take care of themselves. Some do well at school, and some are able to do some work with which they can support themselves. Suggestions as to all this are to be found in the booklet. There are some highly nervous persons who com plain bitterly of what they call restless legs. They suffer from an unpleasant creeping sensation in the legs and sometimes the arms. The sen sation is felt deep down in the limb, perhaps in the muscles and bones. ! The distress comes during rest, and often forces the per son to get up out of bed and to walk around. Usually, there is no pain, but there may be a dull ache. The distress comes most often in the evening and in the early part of the night. Naturally, it can cause much insomnia. It can last for years, sometimes letting up occasion ally. Dr. K. A. Ekbom, of Uppsa la, Sweden studied 175 per sons with this trouble-72 men and 103 women. In many cases one or more of the pa tient's relatives also had rest less legs, hence there must be an hereditary factor. In most cases an examination fails to show anything wrong. Occa sionally, there is some lack of iron in the blood. Women sometimes have this trouble in a bad form in the later stages of pregnancy. ' Sometimes drugs which di late the blood vessels will help. In the presence of an anemia iron should be given. Sedatives may not help much. Strong sleepmakers should help some, but sometimes they don't, or the drug will help for a while, and then it won't work any more. A mild nar cotic, such as codein, can be tried. In rare cases it will help. Strong narcotics of the opium type should not be used because they are likely to produce a habit. Codein, if it works well, usually can be given for some time because in all but a rare case it will not produce a habit. Medford Tribune SECTION D MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1961 PAGES 1 to 8 The Week in California Unemployment Is Top News in California; Increase Is Noted United Press International California unemployment during January reached its "highest point in a decade" when the number of jobless persons in the state totaled 517,000. Employment Director Ir ving Perluss said the January unemployment totaled 8 per cent of the labor force - 65, 000 more jobless than during last December, when unem ployment rose to 6.9 per cent. The new figures also indi cated 148,000 more unemploy ed than January a year ago, when unemployment reached 5.9 per cent of the work force. Almost simultaneously, Gov. Edmund G. Brown released a recession report on 13 "repre sentative counties" of the state and sent a wire to President Kennedy reporting on Califor nia's moves to alleviate the recession. Share of Aid Brown said the state's $58 million (share of federal high way aid was being put out to bid at the rate of $35-$40 mil lion monthly compared to the normal rate of $58 million. The report on the 13 coun ties submitted to Brown by State Social Welfare Director John M. Wedemeyer said un employment in some of them "is the worst since the depres sion of the J930's." Wedemeyer told Brown the report was compiled from the findings of crews of investiga tors in Los Angeles, San Di ego, Alameda, Santa Clara, Contra Costa, Riverside, Kern, Stanislaus, Fresno, Marin, Humboldt, Mendocino and Shasta counties. Wedemeyer's report on the 13 counties included these comments: Jobless in January Humboldt - Estimated 21 per cent of the labor force covered by unemployment in surance was jobless in Janu ary. "A utility company re ported a 400 per cent increase in shutoff notices in the past year and a doubled discontin ued service rate , ; . instances of hungry people stealing cat tle . . , one (man) reported 'spotlighting' deer at the rate of about one a week ... re ports of other missing stock . ... unemployment worse than any time since the recession." Riverside - Combined with San Bernardino, January un employment was estimated at 8 per cent. "Red Cross report ed a great many people going back into Army service in the Indio area, estimating 55 per cent were ex-Army men who can't get jobs." Elsewhere, there were these developments: Writer: Dalton Trumbo, one of Hollywood's so-called "un friendly ten" of the 1940's, was nominated for a Screen Writers award for the 1960 film "Spartacus." The film was one of the few for which Trumbo received title credit since his appearances before Society To Show Film in Medford A series of free films will be shown by the American Cancer Society throughout Jackson county March 1. The show on uterine cancer, "Time and Two Women," will be shown at the Holly the ater, Medford, and the Vars ity theater, Ashland, at 10 a.m.; at Bellview Grange hall, Ashland, at 2 p.m., and the Rogue River Grange hall, Rogue River, at 7:30 p.m. Ihe society estimates there will be about 300 new Ore gon women affected by uter ine cancer this year. Theme of the film is that time can be either a woman's ally or her enemy in the detection of uterine cancer, specifically cervical cancer. Detection in its early and most easily curable stages is now possiblte through a uter ine cell examination called the "Pap smear." The test is named for Dr. George N. Pap anicolaou, Cornell Medical college scientist, who develop. ed and perfected it while studying American Cancer So ciety research grants totaling more than $500,000. The state-wide series of free movies will begin- Feb. 25 in Klamath Falls, and will end March 23 in Portland and Multnomah county. Congressional committees af ter World War II. Kuchel: Sen. Thomas Ku- chel, R-California, declared that a move by President Ken nedy to channel defense con tracts to labor surplus areas is regrettable, unfortunate and illegal." Kuchel told a press conference in Los An geles that no defense depart ment funds shall be appropri ated "for the purpose of re lieving economic dislocations." He asserted that the govern ment must allocate contracts on the basis of "the best job that can be done for our de fense at the lowest possible price." Congoi Dr. Ralph Bundle, United Nations Undersecre tary for Political Affairs, said the Congo murder of Patrice Lumumba would make him a martyr. His death, Bunche said in an address to Stanford university students, would have "widespread and pro found repercussions." But Bunche added that "in spite of this and other discouraging fiascos on the international level, I continue to be opti mistic that we can avert World War III." Busch: Admitted triple slrangler Henry Adolph Busch was formally sentenced in Los Angeles to die in the Cali fornia gas chamber for first degree murder of his aunt. Busch, 29, an optical worker, showed no emotion as Supe rior Judge Edwin L. Jeffer son carried out the directive of a jury which convicted him of three murders and fixed death as the penalty for strangling Mrs. Margaret Bnggs, 53, his aunt. Divorce: Movie star Ann Miller filed a Valentine's Day divorce suit against her wealthy Texas oilman hus band, William Moss Jr. The 37 -year -old dancer - singer charged extreme cruelly and asked for a restraining order allowing her full use of the family home. Crash: An Air National Guard pilot who ejected from his disabled jet trainer over the Sierra foothills near Fres no was found alive. He was Col. Roy Santin, 42, of Sacra mento, who suffered slight in juries in baling from his plane at about 20,000 feet. School Librarians Hear Discussion of Unit's Importance Two school superintendents and a department of educa tion school library consultant were guest speakers at last week's meeting of the Jackson County Association of school librarians, held in the Central Point Junior High school library. The speakers were Med ford School Superintendent Leonard B. Mayfield, Central Point School Superintendent Charles Meyer and Library Consultant Miss Phyllis Hoch-stetler. Secondary and elementary school librarians representing Ashland, Phoenix, Talent, Gold Hill, Rogue River, Cen tral Point, Eagle Point and Medford attended. Increased Training Miss Hochstctlcr announced that increased training would be required for school librari ans. She praised the local organization as a model to be held up all over the state. Meyer defined the impor tance of the library in the total education program of the schools and predicted that school libraries would con tribute more and more to daily classroom work as the "center of all school activity." Dr. Mayfield stated that he would "put our libraries up against any in the state," at tributing this to the fact that the librarians push forward to instigate improvements. He urged increased teamwork among teachers and librarians, and said the success of the library program hinges on the personality of the librarian. Elect Officers Also at the meeting, the ussociation elected officers for the 1961-62 school year. They are Ruth Kaye, president; Ruth-Esther Hill, vice presi dent and program chairman; and Olive Fountain, secretary-treasurer. Several of the activities for school librarians during the remainder of the school year include attendance at the joint library department of OEA and the Oregon Audio Visual association meeting in Port land March 16 to 18, and par ticipation in the Oregon Li-i brary association conference to be held in Medford, April 28 and 29. Mary Helen Mahar, school li brary specialist for the library department of the U.S. office of education, will be the fea tured speaker at the Medford conference. The final meeting of the school librarian's association for the existing school year will be held May 9 at 4 p.m., in the library of the new Ashland Junior High school. All members are urged to attend. Clifford L. Wolff 133 S.
