New Red Cross Class Designed
To Appease Cake-hangry Vets
WNU Features.
JAMAICA, N. Y.—It will be luscious home-baked cakes
for returned G.I.s in this suburban area of New York City
from now on, thanks to the nutrition service of the central
chapter of Queens Red Cross. The new epicurean slant is the
result of the recent poll conducted by the local Red Cross
among its hundreds of G.I. brides, all graduates of the chap
ter’s two-year-old “School for G.I. War Brides,” originally in
itiated to indoctrinate young wives and sweethearts of G.I.s
with the rudiments of housekeeping.
The poll was intended to gauge
opinion among these women as to
reaction of their husbands to the
tutored domesticity of their wives,
and to discover the "inner yearn
ings’’ of returned and discharged
G.I.s along domestic culinary lines.
Signed returns to the widely dis
tributed poll amazed Red Cross nu
trition officials.
A majority of the polices re
ported that their husbands were
elated with their “homebody”
wives, and that the former sol
diers craved most their moth
er’s old - fashioned "h o m e •
baked” cakes. The result was a
determination to refashion the
Red Cross school, changing it to
the "Red Cross School for Cake-
Hungry Vets.”
Amid a great deal of fanfare, Red
Cross officials formally opened the
school. The first wave of "students”
overwhelmed Red Cross executives.
Not only war brides but also grand
mothers, mothers and sisters at-

tended. It indicated, in the opinion
of the school supervisors, a “defi
nite trend back to home baking and
cooking as the best way to a man’s
heart.”
Baking experts were pressed into
service at the school as “profes
sors.” Topping this list were Miss
Dorothy Wettemann, nutrition di
rector for the Red Cross, and Grace
Lohmann, heralded as the nation’s
top "amateur baker.” Miss Loh
mann baked thousands of delicacies
for G.I.s during the war.
The school, according to Miss
Wettemann, will continue indefi
nitely, and classes will be arranged
in groups of 25.
Horseback Trek
To Follow Trails
Into Adventure
BELLE FOUBCHE, S. D. — Un
surpassed mountain scenery, west
ern companionship and a well-
stocked chuck wagon combine to
make the horseback caravan from
Belle Fourche to Devils Tower,
offered for the first time this sum
mer as a tourist attraction, an in
teresting diversion from the run-of-
the-mill vacation.
Nine trips are planned during the
months of June, July and August,
departure dates being the 1st, 11th
and 21st. Each caravan, it is ex
pected, will be comprised of 25 to
30 riders. The rides are sponsored
by Western Trails, Inc., an organi
zation of Belle Fourche business
men.
Traversing Black Hills National
forest, the trail passes through mile
after mile of virgin Ponderosa pine,
up and over the Bear Lodge moun
tains, along sparkling creeks and
through grassy lowland meadows.
Western terminus of the eight-day
trip is the unique and awesome up
thrust of rock known as Devils
Tower in eastern Wyoming. The
first monument to be incorporated
in the national park system. Devils
Tower is a majestic sheaf of rock
columns that rises 875 feet above its
base.
For the benefit of “dude” guests
on the adventuresome ride, cow
boys wrangle and saddle the string
of range-wise western ponies, a
trail boss guides the caravan and a
crew travels ahead in chuck and
duffel wagons to set up each night’s
camp.

AIRPORT CHATTER
Sixty-eight youngsters competed
in a model aircraft contest in Kan
sas City, Kas., under auspices of
Model Aircraft Institute and sanc
tioned by Academy of Model Aero
nautics in Washington. ... A civic
campaign has been launched in Du
Quoin, 111., to raise $10,000 for pur
chase of a 93-acre site and develop
ment of an airport. Backing the
project, the Lions club has arranged
temporary financing for purchase of
the site, which had been used as an
airport until early 1946. The club
voted $1,000 toward the campaign.
. . . Expansion of civil air patrol
activities is contemplated during
the coming year, wing commanders
of the group were told at their an
nual meeting in Washington. High
light of the three-day session was
the second annual congressional
dinner, when reports were made to
congressmen on activities of nearly
1,500 CAP units throughout the
United States. CAP is an auxiliary
of army air forces. . . . Airplanes
were utilized to inspect land de
voted to summer fallow in western
Kansas. Glenn H. Johnson, state
director of the Kansas Production
and Marketing administration in
Manhattan announced that summer
fallow practice was performed by
about 18,000 farmers on 2.500.000
acres of land. Use of airplanes ex
pedited checking to determine that
farmers complied with all require
ments.

Once again the airplane has
come to the aid of law enforce
ment officials. An Arizona high
way patrolman, from whom
three youths in a stolen car
managed to escape, got his men
recently by rushing to an air
port and taking a Cub plane
aloft for a survey of the desert
into which they had disap
peared. He spotted the youths
hiding beneath a desert bush,
made note of the spot and in a
few minutes had landed and
apprehended them.

MODERN PROSPECTORS
The old “pick and burro” prospec
tors soon will be giving way to
men with helicopters, believes Dr.
Francis A. Thompson, president of
Montana School of Mines at Butte.
Dr. Thompson explains that devices
now being perfected will allow pros
pectors to use helicopters and en
able them to locate mineral deposits
hidden under lava flows and al
luvial deposits in the Northwest.

GOOD PRESCRIPTION
Serving as staff physician for hos
pitals in three different cities. Dr.
Frank A. Brewster of Holdridge,
Nebr., finds that time is valuable.
Consequently, he resorts to a plane
for rapid transportation between
Holdridge and Lexington, Nebr.,
and Oberlin, Kas., the other cities
in which he serves on hospital
staffs. Each is more than 100 miles
from Holdridge.
Dr. Brewster, 73, bought his first
plane, an old Jenny, in 1919. Now he
pilots a Fairchild F-24 Ranger four-
place personal plane. This permits
his wife and nurse assistant to ac
company him on many of the
flights. In addition to his regular
professional trips, he has made
flights to Chicago, El Paso and
points in Kentucky.

Problems for
Doctors Listed
Prospects for Solving Them
‘Good/ fi.M.A. Told as
Second Century Starts.
CHICAGO. — A spokesman for
American Medical association, on
its lOOtb- anniversary, listed seven
major problems that medical sci
ence still must solve.
Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the
A.M.A. Journal, listed these seven
problems as the most important
ones facing the medical profession:
1. Heart disease—more people die
from it than from any other single
disease.
2. Cancer—one in every eight per
sons is likely to become a cancer
victim.
3. Virus diseases — including in
fantile paralysis and the common
cold.
4. Atomic radiations and their
effect on human beings and human
tissue.
5. High altitude and speed effects
on pilots.
6. Degenerative diseases of the
nervous system.
7. Neuropsychiatric problems
raised "by our high-speed, high-
tension environment.”
Prospects Are Good.
Fishbein said the prospects for
solving the problems were "good.”
He said the progress of medical
science in the last 50 years was
“greater than in all of the previous
history of man.”
“Because of the increasing speed
of the acquisition of medical knowl
edge it is possible that we will make
more progress in the next 50 years
than the last,” he predicted.
Fishbein said the A.M.A. did not
claim credit for much of the medi
cal advancement in the last 100
years, but that many achievements
were wholly creditable to the asso
ciation.
Celebrate Centennial.
He cited the A.M.A.’s war on pat
ent medicines, quackery, frauds
and low standards of professional
ethics as powerful factors in pro
ducing a high quality of medical
service.
Its service to members of the pro
fession through its publications and
maintenance of professional stand
ards is equal in importance to its
service to the public, Fishbein de
clared.
The A.M.A. was founded May 5,
1847, by a handful of delegates to
the national medical convention in
Philadelphia. Today it has a mem
bership of more than 130,000.
The association will celebrate the
centennial anniversary of its found
ing at its annual convention in At
lantic City. It is a non-profit group
with headquarters in Chicago.
Mellon Trust Upsets Policy
In $140,000 Gift to Hospital
WASHINGTON. — A good turn
paid off for George Washington uni
versity in the form of a $140,000 gift
for its hospital from the A. W.
Mellon educational and charitable
trust.
The Mellon trustees broke away
from policy in making the gift, ex
plaining it was due to the univer
sity’s helpfulness on the National
Gallery of Art here, which the late
Andrew W. Mellon gave the nation,
and his friendliness toward the
school. The university helped Mel
lon obtain the site.
The Mellon trust policy is to use
its funds to further educational and
charitable projects only in and
around Pittsburgh, where Mellon
lived.
Curb on German Liquor Club

quor a month, including drinks

nounced.
The directive established a cou
pon system to cover bar drinks,
which previously were not included
in the monthly ration of three bot
tles. It also provided for tightened
border controls against smuggling
of liquor into zones where U. S.
troops are stationed.
Father Given Life Sentence
For Death of 14-Month Baby
HOLLIDAYSBURG, PA. — Her
bert A. Miller, 38, of Altoona, was
sentenced by Blair County Judge
George C. Patterson to life “at sep
arate and solitary confinement at
hard labor” in Western penitentiary
after he was adjudged guilty of first
degree murder in the death of his
son, Robert, 14 months old.
Miller admitted striking the child
a fatal blow with his fist. He plead

Question of Milking a Cow
Trips Him; Fined as Tipsy
PORTLAND, ORE. — Matt Matt
son, sparring away from a jail sen
tence for drunkenness after admit
ting he was guilty, told Judge John
B. Seabrook:
"I got a job milking cows in a
dairy.”
"On which side do you milk a
cow?” asked the skeptical judge.
“Do you know?” the judge per
sisted.
“Underneath!” said Mattson.
The judge fined him $20.
To Build Battleship
Run by Atom Power
British Admiralty Announces
It May Experiment.
LONDON.—The British admiralty
hinted that it may try to develop an
atom - propelled battleship. In a
statement saying it planned re
search to maintain the navy’s effi
ciency it said:
"Many lines of inquiry present
themselves. On the defensive side,
the navy has to apply the lessons
learned by its observers of the Bi
kini tests of the atomic bomb, but
the implications of atomic energy
are by no means limited to defen
sive aspects and may, contrary to
initial reactions, lead to enhance
ment of naval power in a highly
modified form and with wide offen
sive and defensive commitments.
“The atomically propelled battle
ship, for instance, would have no
immediate refueling problems, and
the period for which it could stay at
sea would be. limited only by other
and generally less urgent supply
problems, a vital factor if the ship
proved less vulnerable than the
harbor.”
The statement said 24 million dol
lars would be spent in all forms of
navy research this year.
The ministry of supply announced
that a school to train youths past 14
for atom work would be opened at
what it called "the government
atomic energy factory” at Spring-
fields in northern England. The
plant, previously known as a re
search center, “will be used for the
manufacture of uranium metal,”
the announcement said.
Students will be paid while study
ing and will get jobs in the factory
after completing chemistry courses.
“Both in the factory operations
and in chemical analytical work the
most stringent medical precautions
will be taken to avoid any hazard to
the health of the workers,” the min
istry said.
The British chemical workers’
union through its acting secretary-
general, Bob Edwards, said several
workers at an atomic research cen
ter in the north had become sexu
ally impotent. It described as in
adequate a current government in
vestigation of its complaint.

Circus Performer Loses
Pants, So We Have Tights
Circus tights were invented in
1828 by Nelson Hower, a bareback
rider. In those days, circus per
formers wore costumes consisting
of a short jacket, knee breeches
and stockings, but Nelson Hower’s
costume was accidentally mislaid.
He realized he had nothing to
wear just a few moments before
it was time for his act. When his
cue came Hower appeared in the
arena wearing his long knit un
derwear—and circus tights wew

Surgery Finds Recovery Is
Speeded by Short Bed Stay
CHICAGO.—Patients who get out
of bed shortly after an operation
definitely recover more rapidly than
those who are confined there for
long periods, Dr. Nathaniel O. Cal
loway told the Tri-State Hospital
assembly here.
Dr. Calloway, now on the staff of
the University of Illinois research
and educational hospitals, headed
the navy’s study of convalescence
during the war.
It is strange that so simple a dis
covery was so long in coming. Dr.
Calloway said, since it can be seen
that “animals, post-operatively, are
never quiet. Children climb up
the side of the bed as soon as the
anesthesia wears off. And yet, in
both groups, there are fewer than
average complications.”
Now that prolonged bedrest has
been established as harmful by
exhaustive studies, appendectomy
cases need stay in bed for only a
few days instead of several weeks,
and those’ suffering major opera
tions for perhaps one week instead
of three, he said.
