, Child Who Plays Hookey
j While reading many studies
on the medical aspects of juve-
nilc criminology, I have been
mm .;. much impreis
V - I ed with the
finding that so
many of the
young crimi
nals are more
J or less illiter
ate. 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

cent had had only a primary
school education. 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.

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.

send 25 cents and a stamped,
self-addressed envelope with
your request to Dr. Walter
C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, The

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.
