They can read a little if they have to, but few can read for pleas ure, and so they never think of reading a book or an in formative article in a Journal. Why can't they read? Be cAiise early in their lives, they played hookey so often that they failed in many oi ineir studies, and perhaps left school in the seventh grade. As a result, when these lads grew up, they could not find a job, and because they could not make any money with a job, they had to get it by stealing. And because many were about as inefficient at stealing as they would be In working for an employer, they were always getting caught, and being sent to a reform school or a prison. Obviously, parents should make every possible effort to get their children to see that when they play hookey, they can be preparing themselves for a most unhappy life - and perhaps a tragic life - in one prison after another. Now I find something thai I had not thought of - and this is that according to a recent survey made by the Swedish Temperance Education Board, out of 1,180 persons under the age of 25 years who were ar rested for drunkenness, 63 per BRIDGE THE GAP 'III PAY DAY Money today on your sig nature only. $50 costs only 70c for 2 weeks.

Interesting, also, is the fact that of these alcoholic youths, 38 per cent had no interests. In fact, for 35 per cent of them, alcohol was their dominating interest. Some 47 per cent had already had at least one clash with the law. These alcoholic lads were not much interested in sports, and that was unfor tunate. Boeck's Sarcoid Several people write me every month asking me what is Boeck's Sarcoid and what can one do for it. Here is a letter from a woman who says that suddenly when she was 71, the thing hit her. She promptly lost more than 50 pounds. For quite a while, her good doctors had great diffi culty making a diagnosis. They found an enlarged heart and a sinus infection, a "lazy liver," some arthritis, and some bronchitis, but that did not tell them what was wrong. Then some nodules appear ed in her groins, and one just above her collar bone. Wisely, the doctors took some of these nodules out, and had them ex amined under the microscope by an expert pathologist (phy sician who specializes in studying diseased tissue). All the pathologist could say was that there was no tuberculosis or cancer. Perhaps he was not sufficiently Impressed by the presence of little areas that looked like tubercles, but were not typical of tubercu losis. Apparently, later, someone made the diagnosis of sarcoid from an examination of more glands removed. The lady still has much pain in her joints, her back, her shoulders and her knees. She is getting stronger and is gaining back some of her weight, and so she probably will be like a goodly percentage . of these people who get well. Often, the pow erful reparative powers of the body go to work. It is much that way with tuberculosis. Even before we got the several drugs that now help so much, hundreds of thousands of peo ple with tuberculosis got well Just with rest and good food. Glandular Fever I get many requests for in formation about the glandular fever which commonly affects young people. A number of the glands in the sides of the neck, the arm -nits and the groins swell, iv d often the patients feel miserable and hclow par for a few months.

Moves in Cycles West Makes Notes on Internal Meaning of Jazz for Festival By DICK WEST Washington -lliPli- We had here last week an internal jazz festival sponsored by the P r e s ident s music com mittee of the people - to -people pro gram. I use the pronoun "we" because this is the first adminis tration cultur al promotion that I have felt qualified to participate in, 1 oiler my services not as a musician but as a long-time student of jazz trends and directions, some knowledge of which is essential to the de velopment of a well-rounded personality. Many people have said to me that they like jazz but it makes them nervous. The rea- son is that they lack the back ground to appreciate its nu ances and finer points. As my contribution lo the festival, I have prepared some notes on the inner meaning of jazz in the hope thai it will help create a broader base of understand ing, people-to-people-wise, i In order to grasp what is happening in the jazz world, it must first be understood that jazz moves in cycles, as opposed, for example, to the stock market, which moves in circles. Each jazz cycle lasts until the musicians begin to sus pect that other people are en joying what they are playing. Then they move on to another cycle. There is nothing more dis tressing to a jazz musician than the thought that some one, other than himself, en joys what he is playing. pear in the blood, doctors call the disease infectious mono nuclcosus. Mono means one and nuclei are the essential centers of cells. What this means is that the blood con tains many white colls with a single nucleus. The prob ability is that the disease is due to some virus. It is pos sibly "catching" - some men think - from kissing! Usually, there is no good treatment for a viral infec tion, and hence one has to wait and rest until the disease clears up. Fortunately, in most cases, the person re covers completely. If you've been suffering from a shortness of breath, you'll want to read Dr. Al varez' booklet, "P u 1 monary Emphysema." To obtain it. send 25 cents and a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, The Register and Tribune Syndi cate, Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa. ., This is a sure sign that he is slipping and is likely to wind up with Lawrence Welk. Several years ago, as a des peration measure, jazz moved into the "progressive" cycle in which new sounds were in troduced to counteract the "bop" cycle, which was be coming alarmingly enjoyable. The emphasis was on eso teric arrangements for in compatible instruments, as in "fugue for two flutes and a pneumatic drill." Jazz audiences, however, are extremely obstinate and before long lhey were en joying thai, too. The musi cians, therefore, were forc ed to move into the current cycle, known as "third stream." The third streamers aban doned entirely such nuisances as rhythm, scale and tonal patterns, which were just barely hanging on anyway. So now we have formless jazz, and thus far it has suc ceeded admirably in curtail ing enjoyment. Some authorities believe that if the current cycle ever becomes enjoyable, jazz will have no place left to hide. That would be a pity for I have forgotten how to waltz. HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS New York -IUPII- Statictici ans report there are six times as many highway accidents at 35 miles an hour than at C5 mph. But the Injury rale at 65 is twice that of 35. Bank Building To Have Mural 01 Valley Scenes An artist's touch is being added to U.S. National bank's new North Medford branch quarters now nearing com pletion on the corner of Ohio and Court sts:, reports Dwight Houghton, branch manager. Actually, a colorful mural which is six feet high and 40 feet long, is more of an im pact than a "touch." When completed, a montage of scenes common to the Med ford area will be depicted in greens, grays, blues, black and white. Adding this flavor to the North Medford branch is Miss Georgialee Coble, well known Portland artist. She has paint- red murals for a number of U. S. National branches, and has been engaged in com mercial work for other Port land establishments. Miss Coble is a graduate of Parson's School of Design in New York, and has attended both University of Oregon and University of Minnesota. She is a former designer for Bonwit Teller, New York, and has been head designer for Simplicity Patterns. Among other accomplish ments, she decorated the chil dren's area at the 1961 Ore gan State Fair and also has done some interior decorating work. Houghton said construction of permanent quarters for the branch is proceeding on sched ule, and that an announce ment will be made soon on the opening date and various activities in connection with this.
