me home.
Tile confession of Douglas Coop
er Godfrey, 15. ended two terror
filled weeks for the residents of
the fashionable Detroit suburb of
Bloomfield Township, Mich.
The fatal shooting of Mrs. Mary
(indfrey, 38, mother of five, and
two previous sniping incidents had
left the community in a state of
near panic.
The 10th grade student scored
147 on an IQ test while in the
fourth grade. At Bloomfield Town
ship High School he was regard
ed an excellent student.
Admits Other Shootings
Young Godfrey admitted he
fired tlie two shots at Bloomfield
Township homes and one shot at
a car to establish the presence of
a sniper m the area. He said he
missed the car but the other shots
shattered windows in the wealthy
subdivision.
His admission he plotted his

"We argued all the time. She
v. as too strict. She never let me
do the things I wanted to do,"
Godfrey told authorities in h i s
confession at the state police post
here.
The boy's father pledged to
"stand by my son . .This is one
of tliose things which is hard to
explain."
He added, "I always considered
him a good boy."
Accompanies San
The father, a manufacturer ot
precision instruments, brought the
youth to the state police post at
the request of Oakland Couny
Prosecutor George Taylor after
evidence began to point to God
frey's son.
Mrs. Godfrey was killed Jan. 25
by a 22-caliber slug fired through
the kitchen window of her home.
The slug struck her in the left

Rheumatic fever has been right
ly called the most threatening
disease of childhood, ft usually

There is growing evidence that
susceptibility to this disease is
greater in tome families than in
cithers.
Recent studies indicate that chil

have a high level of gamma glo
bulin in their blood. Although gam
ma globulin is usually regarded as
protective substance, the
amounts found in these children
are regarded as excessive. Fur
thermore, their close relatives
have also hecn found to have high
gamma globulin levels.
This disease usually starts with
streptococcal sore throat, but
the course of the disease is
variable and the rheumatic aspect
Unnamed jomtsi is so inconstant
that the very name "rheumatic

After the sore throat and fcvei
have subsided, the streptococcus

period of two to six weeks it

body.
If it attacks the joints, it leads

mild aching pains that cause the

THE WELL CHILD
Rheumatic Fever
Dons Many Guises
a grandmother has said of such
a child that he had "growing
pains." We now know that there
is no such thing, and that most
children with "growing pains"
have rheumatic fever.
If the streptococcal poison at
tacks the nervous system, chorea
i St. Virus's dancei develops. This
may last for two to six months,
then clear up.
The most serious complication
of all is rheumatic heart disease,
because this may lead to perma
nent disability.
Some children who get (he joint
involvement never get rheumatic
heart disease, some get the heart
disease without any joint pains,
and some get both. Since strepto
coccal infections confer no lasting
immunity recurrences are com
mon, and with each recurrence
the danger of serious heart in
volvemcnt increases.
Fortunately, such involvement
can be prevented by giving peni
ciflin, which kills the streptococci,
for the acute infection and pre
ventive injections of slow-acting
penicillin every month for at least
five years following an attack.
During the acute stage, the child
must be kept in bed. But recent
studies have shown that when the
acute phase is over, it is harmful
rather than helpful to put severe
limitations on the child's activi
ties. If the joints were involved and
the pain and swelling have sub
sided, leaving no evidence of heart
disease, there is no need to make
any restrictions on activity. If
there has been a rheumatic heart
involvement and the acute phase
is over, almost any kind of non
competitive sport can be engaged
in, such as walking, swimming,
rowing, bowling. It is necessary

Victory Ahead In Man's
Battle On Common Cold
Bv BARNEY SF.IBERT
CHICAGO iUPI-The end may
be in sight within a few years in
the battle against one of man's
oldest, most widespread and most
disabling enemies the common
cold.
A cold is a virus-caused miserv
characterized by littler lack of
discrimination in picking its vic
tims. Nearly everyone gets them.
Two hundred and 50 million times
a year, it's estimated, Americans
come dow n w ith colds.
The American Medical Associa
tion magazine. "Today s Health.
has estimated that colds cost U.S.
industry about $5 billion a year
in lost man-hours. Some persons
are afflicted four to six times an
nually. Childi-en get more colds
than adults.
Chances are that as you read
this you or a member of your
family are either getting, suffering
from, or recovering from a cold.
A third of the nation's population
sudors from colds during the w in
tor months.
Work on Vaccines
Vaccines now under develop
ment by at least six U.S. firms
and three in Brilain may alter
those statistics. Several vaccines
already arc under test and others
which may prove more effective
are nearing the test stage.
lr. Justin M. Andrews, director
of the National Institute of Aller
gy and Infectious Diseases, pre
dicted a year ago that die federal
agency would achieve its target
of vaccines against the most prev
alent causes of colds within five
years.
Andrews also forecast that w ith
in a decade alter sum vaccines

The four garden clubs of Klam

the Nature Trail in Moore Park-

held in the Klamath County Li
brary-Museum Building recently.
Mrs. Scott Mchendree reported on
the progress of the Nature Trail.
With the help of various organiza.
tions and individuals, tlie Nature
Trail has been graded, and cin
dered. Plans have been made to
carry water by means of a pipe
line throughout the length of the
path so that native trees, shrubs
and flowers can be planted. As
sistance has been received from
the Sears-Roebuck Foundation in
the financing of the project.
Each of the sponsoring clubs
will assume responsibility for
planting a section of the trail. It is
hoped that some planting can be
done thus spring, but tlie project
will be a continuing one lor the
future.

the number of colds, the affliction 1
may become rare "perhaps
something close to disappear

be administered hy inoculation.
But it is possible that live virus
vaccines may be developed which

halation of an aerosol mist blown'
into a room. i
Complex Ailment
There's really nothing simple'
about tlie common cold. It is an
enormously complex ailment
which may be caused by as many
as !2 or more virus strains or
the so-called Eaton Agent, a mic-J
roorganism which is neither a
germ nor a virus. Some scientists
have argued Mat the number of
viruses which may be involved
is infinite, limited only hy the
number of persons on earth at a
given time.
However, tlie magazine Medical
World News said last October that
the problem of immunizing against
the common, cold "may not be
quite as complicated as tlie ever
growing number of respiratory vi
ruses might suggest.
A University of Pennsylvania
scientist found in his influenza
research that some patients af
flicted during the last Asian flu
outbreak developed antibodies not;
only against that disease but;
against forms of influenza not in j
irculalion dining their lifetime. I
influenza is caused by a vims!
strain which also causes com-;
mon colds. i
Practical application of such
findings would mean that a vac-'

Sen. Anthony Yturri, R.Ontario,
today asked the Ways and Means
Committee to launch an investi
gation to find the answer.
"Studies indicate that a number
of employes have Iclt private em
ployment to accept civil service
employment at no greater salary,
but no reason of the fringe bene
fits and the security of employ
ment," Yturri said.
Yturri assured, "I have no ob
jection to state employes being
adequately and fully paid for
services they render.
"However, at a period when the
slate's fiscal position is in serious
condition, it is well to analvzc
and evaluate all aspects of the
situation.
The Ontario Republican reasons
that civil service employes have!
what is tantamount to tenure in
many instances .
"In private industry as a rule,"
Yturri continued, "the individual
has no assurance of continuing
employment.
"On the other hand, civil serv
ice employes so far as tlie ex
perience of this stale indicates,
have a far greater assurance of
continuity in employment than do
employes in private industry.
