to write for help and informa

organizations that help with
these children.
Cerebral palsy results from
damage to the brain before,
during, or after birth. Natural

of causes, some of them still
obscure. Recently, less im

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.

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.

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

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

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

the "Pap smear." The test is
named for Dr. George N. Pap

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.
