Try and By BENNETT CERF- IN A STEADY stream of traffic on the Saw Mill River Parkway one Sunday recently, a small sedan stopped dead short without warning. Screeching brakes behind tes tified to the alertness of a dozen drivers who nar- " rowly averted a "chain accident." The driver of the car behind the of fender jumped out and demanded an explanation. The offender was obvi ously taken by surprise. "We didn't mean to cause anybody trouble," he ex plained anxiously. "My wife and I were just try ing out our safety belts." After a particularly gay party at a particularly gay convention, two members in good standing had retired to their hotel room, where one member slipped on the bathroom floor and sustained several cuts on his face. His friend patched him up as best he could with bandages. The injured one then went over to inspect himself in the bathroom mirror. A look of awe came over his battered visage. "Jiminy, Tom," he murmured respectfully,. "I didn't know you could afford a Picasso!" ..

Louis, Mo. - (UPD - With a vote of confidence behind him, the head of 78.000 fire men planned to ask Presi dent Kennedy today to let the unions and the railroads "slug it out" in their "feather bedding" dispute. H. E. Gilbert urged in his keynote address to the fire men's convention here Mon day that the federal govern ment allow the operating brotherhoods to strike over the proposed work rules changes. "I hope the President finds it prudent to allow both sides to resort to self-help," he told the 900 delegates. "Once the ,.wVk LJ ' Stop Me Let Union Strike railroads of this nation know that their employees do, in deed, have the power and right to exercise self-help, we can expect to find an attitude of eagerness at the bargain ing table." Gilbert made it plain that he meant the right to strike when he referred to self-help. He predicted the fight over the new work rules, which would eliminate many jobs considered unnecessary by the industry, would be settled in less than 24 hours if the five on-train unions were permit ted to strike. After his speech, delegates suspended the rules and elect ed Gilbert, 66, to a third term as head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginmcn in what was con sidered a confidence vote in the union's fight. Work Resumes at Round Butte Dam Madras-flJPD-Work resumed at the $60 million Round Butte dam hydroelectric proj cct Monday evening after t wildcat strike by one union stopped construction for one shift. A half dozen pickets from Local 17 of the Technical En ginncrs and Architects As sociation appeared on the ac cess road to the project Mon day morning. The union' had been ncgo. listing a contract with the engineering sub contractor, Claytor and Associates. Some boilermakers and other cm. ployecs already had gone to work, but all others honored the picket line. The pickets wore with drawn after union officials said the strike was unauthor ized by their Seattle head quarters. Work resumed with the start of the 4:30 p.m swing shift.

PARKINSON'S DISEASE I recently had an interest ing half-hour, answering over a radio station the many ques tions which were phoned in to me by peo ple concerned about Parkin son's disease. I spoke under the auspices of the United P a r k 1 n son F o u nd ation, P.O. Box 3001, Mdse. Mart, Chleago 54, 11 was interesting to learn what people with Parkinson's disease are puzzled about. Some wanted to find out why it is called Parkinson's dis ease (or Parkinson's syn drome, or Parkinsonism). In the old days it was called the shaking palsy, and later, for years it was called "paralysis agitans." Then, in 1817, a British physician - Dr. James Parkinson - described the dis ease as we know it today. But for the next 100 years, few physicians paid much atten tion to the problem. As a stu dent, I was never told to watch out for the poker face of a person with Parkinson ism. The disease came to be widely known only after the terrible influenza epidemic of mm. men, a European, Dr. von Economo, described the many cases he was seeing of a disease which appeared to be the end result of an encep. halitis (brain fever with sleep iness), probably due to the virus of the 1918 influenza. As we know the disease to day, the patient may first get a dull, expressionless face, and then his muscles all over will feel stiff - as if some glue had been injected into them. Then the thumb and first finger of one hand will begin to show what the old doctors called the pill-rolling movement - a sort of tremor. Often the man begins to walk In a peculiar way with his head bent over a bit, with his arms not swinging but held near his groin and with his legs and feet moving in little steps.

Edited by Mrs, Alma Denny, (Copyright b General Features orp.) Doris D. - A fortune-teller says our marriage is heading for the rocks. William D. - She listens to and bplieves everybody except me. I love her. Doris D. - We're In our late 30s, married 12 years with no children to hold us together. Our beautiful home is the only joy we share, for there is no joy in our marriage due to my distrust of my husband. This started with his promotion to foreman five years agb. His work is among women, his hours became irregular, his clothes reeked of perfume. At last he admitted an affair with a divorcee and swore never again. I'd take him back, but a spiritualist told me we will surely be divorced. William D. - What my wife says about the perfume and all is true, but it was a terri ble mistake on my part. I ad mit I lied about it at first I was so ashamed and so sorry. But now that I've confessed and assured Doris I'll never stray again, she still harps on the past. We'll never get started on a new leaf at this rate. All she says is she'll nev MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. cial strengths of both schools. lt is part of a drive to expand graduate study in the state.

Often his speech be comes slow, and sometimes there is an excess of saliva. Brain Remains Clear Fortunately, in cases of Parkinsonism, the brain re mains clear for many years, the judgment remains good and the man goes on with his work. There are no paralyses, and no losses of sensation in. the skin. Eventually, after many years, the patient may become so stiff he has to use a wheel chair and finally he may have to stay in bed. Of late, what pleases me much is the discovery that if the person will start early with exercise, massage and physiotherapy he can keep out of a wheel chair for a long time, and can keep himself in such good shape that he can get about. He can get from the United Parkinson Foundation a book let describing the type of ex ercises he . should do to keep himself active. There are now some 22 drugs available which tend to cut down on the amount of rigidity, the amount of tre mor, or the amount of saliva tion. Also, very encouraging is the work of my friend. Dr. Irving S. Cooper, of St. Barna bas hospital in New York City. For years now he has been operating on certain patients, and helping a high percentage of them. He does not operate on anyone who, perhaps after a stroke, has degenerated mentally or has become bed ridden. What Dr. Cooper does is to destroy by freezing a tiny bit of tissue near the base of the brain. With this, in a min ute the tremor may stop, and much of the stiffness may go. The persons most favorable for operation are those in whom the tremor remains uni lateral (in one hand). Tendency To Heredity 1 People on the telephone asked me, "Is Parkinsonism hereditary?" Yes, there seems to be some tendency to that. "Is it contagious or catch ing?" No; absolutely not. "Does it kill people quick ly?" No; I have some friends who have had the disease in a severe form for perhaps 25 years, and they are still at work. "Is research being done on the problem?" Yes; this is be ing done, and some day we physicians may have, either a new wonder working drug or an operation even . better than the one we now have. If you would like to know more about Parkinson's dis ease send 25 cents and a stamped, self-addressed en velope with your request for "Parkinson's Disease or Shak ing Palsy" to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa. er trust me. Instead she trusts every gypsy, every mind read ers she comes across, and they tell her I'm hopeless; but I tell her she's my one love. The Councili This marriage need not land on the rocks un less one mate has rocks in the head and the other rocks in the heart. Fortune-tellers, Dor is, usually get more cues from the customer than she real izes. Cleverly they can offer a few "safe" pronouncements along the lines you dictate. But believe us, your marriage is directed by you, not the stars. The problem is: How to restore trust? We suggest three steps: (1) Doris must think back to the happy days and see whether part of the blame for Bill's unrest was her s. Was she too engrossed in the "beautiful home" to no tice him? Did she understand the temptations in his new job? (2) Can Doris realize that "a lie is a wish," and excuse Bill? (3) Bill must proclaim his new resolve to their pastor or a marriage counselor who can "keep track." Even with a scar, a marrige, like a heart, can last a lifetime.
