French Town Adopts U.S.
Soldier, Appeals To JFK
- PONT L'EVEQUE, Francel
(APi This little Normandy town
has adopted an American GI and
has appealed to President Ken
nedy to let him stay in France
to complete his education.
The GI, incidentally, happens to
be a mainstay on the local bas
ketball team: He is SP4 John H.
Givens, 24, of Milwaukee, Wis.
Givens, stationed with the Army
Aerial Support Center at nearby
St. Andre, warmed up to his
French surroundings almost from
the moment he arrived in Decem
ber 1959. It was through his bas
ketball skill that he became ac-
$647 Collected
In Dimes Event
LAKEVIEW A total of $47.30
was collected by the 49 mothers
who took part in the Mothers'
Starch held Tuesday night, Jan.
31, in Lakeview, according- to a
report from Mrs. Thclma Hop
kins who was in charge of the
crew.
, The treasury of the local group
is badly in need of funds as the
expenses during 1960 were high
in caring for a few cases.
. A further report on other
sources of income for the cam
paign will be made later by Mrs.
Opal Fitzgerald, county chair
man, when fund raising activities
of other groups will be effected.
quainted in Pont l'Eveque.
Givens had played on YMCA
and high school basketball teams
in Milwaukee and found a spot
as a forward on the local Army
squad. He soon was hooping bas
kets in Pont l'Eveque and in ear
ly 1960 got taken on as center or
forward.
Local families set aside a room
for him on game nights and he
eats at the family table. His
French developed to the point
where conversation flows easily.
Everything was going well un
til Givens announced he was
booked to return to the States
next June. The local citizenry, un
known to Givens, got together
and Bernard Chauvierc, presi
dent of the Pont l'Eveque Sports
Union, drafted a letter to Presi
dent and Mrs. Kennedy.
"Mr. Givens epitomizes the!
friendship of France and the Unit
ed States," Chauviere wrote, iind
then he added two requests:
1. That Givens be given a grant
so he can study at the nearby
University of Caen after he com
pletes his military service in1
France.
2. That Mrs. Kennedy becomei
the sponsor of the Pont l'Eveque
basketball team.
The letter was sent to the
American embassy in Paris and
was forwarded to the State De
partment for the White House.
"This all came as a big sur
prise to me," Givens told a re
porter. "I don't know what to
say."
Communists
Battling
Over Phone
WARSAW (AP) A provincial
'Polish town is in turmoil with lo
cal Communist aristocracy bat
tling over the latest status sym
bola white telephone.
The Communist party organ
Trybuna Ludu gave this account
of the battle in the town identi
fied only as "B." t
The director of communications
received a shipment of 40 white
telephones to be distributed in his
area.
But there were far more peo
ple who were deeply convinced
that their positions and social
rank entilted them to the white
"luxury" telephone. ,
The town began to seethe. Tele
phone calls began. The director
was bombarded not only by the
most important citizens but what
is worse, by their wives. The pos
session of a white telephone be
came a matter of honor, ambi
tion, prestige and importance.
The beleaguered director .final
ly set up a special commission to
decide on the allocation of the tel
ephones and all but one were dis
tributed. "The debate over its distribu
tion is still going on," the paper
said. Many important people, how
ever, did not get the badge of
importance.
Trybuna Ludu said a number
of disappointed wives have threat
ened their husbands with divorce
and some dissatisfied local offi
cials have carried the matter to
influential friends in ministries in
Warsaw. I

his former self," the paper said.
"He avoids acquaintances. He
has lost his appetite. He has
nightmares in which he sees-local
aristocrats demanding telephones
and threatening him with the
most dire consequences."
He was last seen leaving town
'on an official trip."

Dnrk Urine
O. The best treatment for
minor hum is making the in
jured part in ire water. Have
you ever heard of this?
A. Yes. A I.os Angeles physician
used this method in the emer
gency treatment of 150 patients
with minor burns. Results were
very good. Soaks (or application
of an ice-cold, moist towel) for
an hour or so usually took all
the pain out of the hum and
seemed lo promote healing. Any
burn treatment, however, should
also include precautions to pre
vent infection.
(). W hat causes heart enlarge
ment?
A. The heart enlarges when it is
required to do extra work or, if
damaged, to do ordinary vvork.
The two main reasons for extra
work enlargement are high blood
pressure and leaks in the heart
valves- An enlarged heart does
not necessarily mean a failing
heart, although the cause of the
excessive strain should, of course,
be determined.
Q. What arm the dangers of
using permanent hair dyes? '
A. I he main dancer is the de
velopment of an allergic rash in
persons who are supersensitive
to the dye. Such reactions can
be avoided by "patch tests
carried out before dyeing is at
tempted. Most hairdressers know
about the test but ofien neglect
to perform it. One m.iy think
that if the test is performed onca.
and is negative it need never be
done again. However, the reac
tion is triggered by previous con
tact, so it is necessary for the test
to be run every time dvcing is
to be done.
QMy urine u very dark. D.ir
this indicate kidney trouble?
A. Morning urine may be dak if
the person doesn't drink enough
water. But to be safe, have t
medical examination.
Note to readers; As many quet
Hons as possible will be answered

reasons replies must be brief.
