Robert B. Murray Jr., the air line's executive vice presi dent, told a dinner meeting of the Pacific Northwest Trade association that the Fes tival "has achieved world wide renown.',' "As perhaps you know, the 40 performances given last year drew the attendance of some 80,000 people," he said. "More important was the fact that these people came from all over the world to experi ence the meaning of Shake speare's immortal plays in a setting uniquely Elizabethan. In connection with the Festi val, Dr. Margery Bailey's In stitute of Renaissance Studies has likewise captured the at tention of scholars throughout the world." Spring Returns In Most of Nation By United Press International Spring bounced back today on the heels of . warm air streaming north and east from the Gulf of Mexico. The Midwest gradually re turned to normal from its week end pummeling of snows as high as 20 inches in Min nesota.

Warmer air from the gulf raised temperatures to the 40s from the middle Atlantic Coast southwest along the Ap palachians and west to Colo rado. The mercury ranged from 50 to the low 80s in the Carolinas, most of the Deep South and Texas. San Francisco celebrated the 55th anniversary of the city's great earthquake and fire in 57-degree weather un der partly cloudy skies.

Drinking Top Death Causes Salem (UPD More than 21 per cent of Oregon's fatal traffic accidents in 1960 in volved excessive speed and drinking, the Oregon Motor Vehicles department said Monday. A special study revealed evidence in drinking in 13.2 per cent of the deaths. There were 385 fatal accidents in 1960 and they claimed 463 lives. The department said intox ication figured in 1.8 per cent of the deaths. The department distinguish ed between "intoxication" and "evidence of drinking" be cause, it said, "a driver does not have to be legally intoxi cated before consumption' of alcohol definitely affects his ability to drive safely." Excessive speed accounted for 6V4 per cent of the. fatal mishaps.

Lillian R.-They'd be better off themselves with less rac ket. Mrs. I. C.-We rented, out the two room apartment on the top fjoor of our home to Lillian. She's a graduate stu dent at the local university, who knew she wasn't moving into a museum or a mausole um; But all she does is com plain about the noise. We are a normal family of five people and there are the normal sound effects of walk ing, talking, playing records and television programs. Our boys are 5 and 7, and our daughter is 12. Lillian objects to their active play, to the doorbell, to my vacuuming and even to my husband's lawn mower. She's such a bug about quiet, it's a wonder she hasn't tried to abolish thunder. Lillian R. - Mrs. C. hasn't told you about their poodles, father and two sons; or about the 5-year old s guns, the 7- year old's drums, or the young lady's conversations with her best friend : across the street which are shouted above the din ot a Fabian re- Obituaries GERTRUDE WALKER Mrs. Gertrude Walker died at her home, Jeckson st. and McAndrews rd., early today.

Even if I werent in the midst of difficult preparation for an oral exam in Metaphy sics, Id be disturbed by the constant clamor in this house hold. No one talks. From the dogs up, they bark! Then there are power tools screech ing in the backyard, scraping and waxing machines going in the basement workshop, and a radio at top volume in prac tically every room. I wish I could convince them of the great benefits of silence. .The Council: There are some people, as Lillian has discovered, who abhor si lence. Psychologists tell us that this may be because si lence is equated, in these cases, with loneliness. So noise becomes their constant companion. We agree with Lillian that the C s might profit from less raucous, less ear-splitting environment. When do they think? Can they think a thing through, or do they settle for snap judgments and surface solutions? Pleading in behalf of periods of silence, Pope Pius XII called them "bene ficial to sanity, nervous equil ibrium, and intellectual la bor." Certainly Lillian is not re questing silence from the C's, but just a few thousand less decibels beating against her e a r d ru m s, jangling her nerves, cutting down her ef ficiency, and robbing her of rest. We say "thousand," in view of the fact that a whis per registers 25 decibles, a loud radio 65, and an auto horn 150. A few other facts on the danger, hence the "crime," of excessive noise, may impress Mrs. C. with the advantages for her family, and not just Lillian, of more peace and quiet. Prolonged exposure to intense noise can cause deaf ness! Persons employed in factories where noise cannot be eliminated are provided wih ear plugs. - Also, judges in courts are traditipnally pro-complainant when the suit is against a noisemaker. If Lillian chooses to get tough about it, 'she'd have a case. Warbling so pranos have been ordered to confine their practice hours to the "business day." Drive in movies are forced to place speakers inside patrons' cars, rather than near the screen. Dance halls have been closed down, auto repair shops en joined to move. Of course neighbors like Mrs. C. and Lillian will have different ideas about what constitutes a n "excessive" disturbance. Two rules to the rescue: one, The Golden Rule; the other, The Decibel Rule that anything over 140 is painful.

The Medical by , Acid Stomach or Burnings Many people beg me for information about burnings in the stomach, but I cannot help them without know ing more about their symptoms. If the burning remains in one spot in the pit of the stomach it is practically al ways of nerv is out in the skin, and it hasn't anything to do with the stomach. If, however, I ask a person to show me where his burn ing is, and he starts with his hand over the pit of his stom ach and runs it up to his neck, know he has heartburn, which is an entirely differ ent condition. This discom fort seems .to be produced when some of the acid juice which is normally in the stomach, regurgitates, or runs back into the gullet. In order for this to cause distress, the gullet must first be sensitized in some way. There are many mechanisms which can produce such sen sitization. It can follow the eating of some food, like rad ishes or onions, to which the person is sensitive, or it can follow the smoking of some particular brand of tobacco, or it can follow the blowing of one's stack. Many a hot- tempered man has told me that if he blows up, he will be on fire for the next three or four days. It is interesting that a tendency to heartburn runs in families, and particu larly in Jewish families. I have asked scores of peo ple with heartburn how they get rid of the burning, and they say that much better than swallowing a tablet is to take a couple of the tablets or a little sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and dissolve a half - teaspoonful in h al f glass of water and then sip the water. This washes the acid out of the gullet and thereby gives prompt relief. I don t know any gooa treatment for burning in the rjlt of the stomach. Also cannot say right off what is a cure for "acid stomach" due to indigestion. Sometimes the only cure comes if the person will keep a record to see if his burning stomach comes only after he has eaten some particular food. Why Should a Young Man Drop Dead? Many troubled women, mothers and wives, write ask ing me why a handsome, powerfully built, and athletic man in his late thirties or early forties, should have dropped dead, apparently with heart attack. Could this have been avoided In some way? I think in most of these Training Sessions Set for Marchers Two training sessions for American Cancer Society vol unteer marchers in the Phoe nix area will be held this week, according to Mrs. Leon ard Halfhlll, crusade chair man for the area. The meetings will be held at the Phoenix Community club Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m., and Thursday from 8 to 9:30 p.m. The meetings will be conducted by Mrs. Mahr Reymers, executive secretary, who will outline the proce dure for the May 2 residential crusade. Materials and kits will be distributed at the meeting. Co-chairmen assisting Mrs. Halfhlll in the Phoenix area are Mrs. Donald House, Mrs, Lester Anderson and Mrs. A. H. MacKlntosh. District cap tains are Mrs. Everett Barlow, Mrs. Warren Loffer, Mrs. Fred Wilcox, Mrs. Paul Bed- doe, Mrs. Bill Howard, Mrs. Jack Bush, Mrs. Oran Barbee and Mrs. Harry Watson. Assistant Professors Attend Colloquium Ashland - Dr. Franklin W. Sturges, and Dr. Thomas M. Colasuonno, both assistant professors of science at South ern Oregon college, attended a biology colloquium at Ore gon State college, April 14 and 15. Physiology of reproduction was the main theme of the col loquium, which centered around endocine studies of plants and animals. An outstanding event of the meeting was an address by Dr. F. L. Hisaw of Harvard Uni versity, entitled "Evolution of Viviparity." Alvarei ous origin: it Roundup to Consultant In Medicine Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor ot Medicine Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate, mi cases, if one were to talk to the family, one would find that a tendency to early heart attacks had shown up in some of the forebears. I will never forget one of the most powerfully - built men who ever came into my office. He had been a champ ion amateur wrestler. He was 42, and already had had two bad heart attacks. As he said to me sadly, "Doctor, what chance have I got? My father dropped with a heart attack when he was about 40; my uncle, his brother, dropped dead with a heart attack when he was a little over 40, and one of my brothers dropped dead in his early 40's." A few weeks later, the wrest ler's wife wrote me that he had gotten a third attack which had proven fatal. One of the most discouraK- ing things . about many pa tients with bad heart attacks is this tremendous factor of heredity. As yet, we doctors have been able to do little in the way of protecting men with this strong tendency, un. less they are over-eating or smoking too much, and have grown stout. In that case, we recommend a diet that is low in calories and low in hard animal fats. The vegetable oils, taken ' In moderation, often do no harm. Oh, How My Feel Are Killing Me I recently read an interest ing book written by Dr. Ben jamin Kauth, a podiatrist, called "A Specialist's Guide to Healthy Feot" (John Day) In it he tells of some of the many things that a podiatrist can do to help a person who is hobbling around on sore feet, perhaps full of corns or calluses, and perhaps a couple of bunions thrown in for good measure. I am surprised to find how few of us doctors realize how grateful some of our older pa tients would be if we would only put them into the hands of a good podiatrist who would fix up their feet so that they could walk comfortably again. This care of the feet is especially important in the cases of older people because It enables them to stay on their feet and to get out of bed and out of the house and be active. Also, it is of great importance to older diabetics who often are threatened with gangrene of a foot - un less their toes are well cared for. Some types of stomach pain indicate that an ulcer is pres ent. To know when to suspect an ulcer read "Ulcers of the Stomach and Duodenum" by Dr. Alvarez.
