The Medical Roundup Emeritus Consultant In Medicine Mayo Clinic Emcrltui Protestor of Medicine Mayo clinic (Reenter and Tribune Syndicate, 1063) Exceptional Children Greatly troubled par enls write me to say that they have a child who is handicapped in some way, p c r h a ps so cially malad justed, in e n- tally retarded e m o tionally d i s t u rbed, lame, suffer ing from cere. bral palsy, having diffi culty in talk ing, or is blind, deaf, epileptic, or weakened by heart dis ease. The parents beg me to tell them where they can find a school or a home or a state or federal agency, or a clinic that will help them to take care of their child. I have before me the Fourth Edition of Porter Sargent's Directory for Exceptional Children - Educational and Training Facilities. (Porter Sargent's address is 11 Beacon id 4 TV Alvarez st., Boston, Mass.). In his book, he lists 3,000 facilities for the care of the unusual child. He lists also 764 psy chiatric and guidance clinics. The price of the book is $6. Doubtless it can be found in many public libraries. Sargent says that four mil lion children in the United States need special forms of education and treatment. His press has put out some other publications, such as the Handbook of Private Schools, A Guide to Summer Camps and Summer Schools, and sev eral others. I have always ad mired Sargent for the wonder ful work he docs in listing these facilities, which many people so much want to find and use. Many people do not realize how valuable a crippled per son or a blind person can be in our civilization if he is well cared for and well educated. One of the most valuable cit izens we in America ever had was a man named Steinmetz, who from birth was a twisted little hunchback. With his genius and his tremendous mathematical ability, he rede- signed our motors and dyna mos, so as to make them much smaller and much more effici ent. There must be many more Stcinmetzes in this country who could do great things if they only could be helped - first to get strong, and then to get a good educa tion. We in America cannot af ford to waste such genius. Just think of that great Amer ican, Jacqueline Cochran, who has done so much for aviation She tells in her autobiography of her childhood when - an orphan - she was put to work in a cotton mill. No one made any effort to help that bril liant mind, and so he had to learn to read and write all by herself. Today we must be on the lookout for these brilliant people, and must see to it that they can have the education they want to have.

CHEVY OWNERS! 1959-1960-1961 WIN $10.000 AT LEA wlOTORS Mn. H. K. We're in charce of the wedding and they shouldn't butt in. Fern P. Our family should have more representation at the altar. Mrs. H. K. Our daughter is being married in May. It's to be an afternoon wedding in church, and she'll wear a white gown and veil. We're trying to keep things simple, small-scale, and "homey." The bridal couple have agreed to this, and are limiting them selves to a matron of honor and one, or maybe two attend ants for the entire "bridal party." Now comes Fern, the bride groom's sister, asking that her 6-year-old daughter be the flower girl, and her 3-year-old son, the ring-bearer. I thought that sort of nonsense had been discontinued. If children are to be included, then the logi cal ring-bearer would be my 11-year-old son who is closer, Street Sweeper, Car in Accident A street sweeper owned by the city of Medford colided with a car about 7:20 o'clock this morning at East Main st. and Kecne Way, according to city police. No injuries were reported. Operator of the street sweeper was Gay Maurice An derson Jr., 49, of 95 Clover lane, and driver of the auto mobile was Dr. A. Erin Mer- kel, 60, of 2933 Fairview place. No citations were is sued. In the only accident in the city Thursday, Harry William Ward, 55, of 2104 Kings highway, was cited for fail ure to yield the right of way after his car collided with a vehicle operated by Harold Edward Baker, 31, of 411 West 12th St., about 4:40 p.m. at Grape and Main sts. No in juries were reported, officers said. Americans Claimed Illegally in Cuba Washington - IUPII - Chair man Francis E. Walter ID- Pa.) said Thursday the House Committee on Un-American Activities has learned that about 100 Americans have gone to Cuba illegally v i a Mexico.

The Pack presented Cubmas'.er Glenn Williams with a com pass to aid him in Boy Scout ing. Ernest Hinkle was intro being the bride's brother. But Fern should let us keep to the original plans. Fern P. Since Mrs K. is running everything, including her daughter I might add, you would think she'd want the wedding to be as pretty and picturesque as possible. I happen to have a daughter who's a real cutie-pie, win ning and well-behaved and beautiful. And my small son, with his flaming red hair and freckles, makes a big hit with everybody. Why shouldn't she invite them to be part of the procession? Especially since the only other attendant, so far, is the bride's cousin. Where does our family come in? Her daughter is marrying my only brother and, since he's just wild about his niece and nephew, they should be right up there with him. Her son wouldn't fit in at all. . The Council: When is an in-law an outlaw? When she acts like Fern, fussing over what is really a petty matter. After years of attending wed dings, arranging them (for daughters, nieces and friends), we've yet to find one where someone isn t peeved over something. It can be the seat ing arrangement, the shortage of liquor, the omission of a relative from the guest list, the inclusion of a non-relative in same. Here the to-do is about the spotlight, the hon ors, the recipients of the oohs and ahs. This case makes the im portant point that when in laws are determined to get along, any possible points of friction are quickly leveled off. But when there's underly ing discontent, envy, disap proval well then, the small est matter provides the "air hole" for lotting off steam. Fern can put this in her pipe (a peace-pipe, we hope) and smoke it. As to the merits of the de bate, we leaned over to peek at what our neighboring col umnists, the etiquette ladies, have to say about attendants. Their first plea is to. avoid turning the march down the aisle into a theatrical proces sion. It's even O.K. to have no attendants. A boy of 11 is over-age as a ring-bearer, but he's within the age bracket for junior attendant, which is from 7 to 15. Fern's daughter is the right age for a flower- gril, and almost right for a junior bridesmaid, again 7 to 15 by definition. While the 3-year-old could possibly slip Into the show as ring-bearer or page, we rec ommend keeping him in back of the church with a lollipop. He certainly can't understand much about what's going on and will be bored, as well as distracting up front. To help Mrs. K. decide (and the final choice should be hers and her daughter's) we quote Amy Vanderbilt: "It's best to keep the wedding party at the same age level as that of the bride and bridegroom." The two older children, one from each family, can attend the couple. But the celebrants may prefer to enlist their con temporaries for this honor.
