MAY SOOTHE MANY A TROUBLED CONSCIENCE MEDICINE AND THE DERBY Churchil Downs, one of the old est race tracks in the land, it is announced, is to be run for the benefit of the Louisville medical college. The Kentucky Derby has left many a man sick at the finish, ut this is the first time anybody t the track thought of doing some- tirtg about doctors. By H. I. The track is run by the famous Colonel Matt Winn, always a man in green, seldom a man in the red and now for the first time appear ing as something of a Man in White. PHILLIPS with a little black bag in band yon were under no Illusion it held pills, capsules or oint ments. The colonel is a smart, color ful racing genius, but up to now had not been associated with a bedside manner and a stethoscope.

The Sabbath reft, the altars we should raise; The teaching of our faith to these, our children. The earnest Study of God’s holy Word; The telling, again and again, the old sweet ftory By which an apathetic world is Stirred. Let us not forget the ancient splendors: The mountain-top experience that lights The darkest valleys that our feet muSt travel. Where God will be, as well as on the heights. Let us not forget the old, old meaning. Of the sun and moon and Stars above the land. Considering these—God help us to remember That we, like they, are held in Thy great hand. sSgWscre By INEZ GERHARD W HEN Eagle-Lion films decided to hold the premiere of "Tulsa” in Tulsa, Okla., they had no idea that Oklahomans would cooperate so magnificently. Gov. Roy Turner proclaimed a holiday and royally entertained members of the press whom Eagle-Lion flew from both coasts for the occasion. Walter Wanger brought "Tulsa’s” stars— Susan Hayward, Robert Preston, Susan Hayward Chill Wills and Jess Barker, to town; 50 mayors from all over the state were on hand to join in the festivities, which lasted for a day and a half. As for the picture, it is fine entertainment, with an oil-well fire that sets an all-time high for similar screen spectacles. Two top Warners stars began their careers similarly, by dying. Erred Flynn did it in "The Case of the Curious Bride,’ has been trilling other people in films ever since. Zachary Scott died in his first film. “The Mask of Dimitrios.” has been the victim in eight out of 11 pictures since then, gets driven to suicide in his latest, “Flamingo Road.” Reuniting Fred Astaire and inger Rogers for their 10th Icture in M-G-M’s “The Bark- iys of Broadway” proved so iccessful that they will co-star i another musical, as yet un tied, which is now being writ- :n for them. Ill Conrad, the "voice” of CBS’ cape” series, is a fine actor, looks like something out of a > bag; usually wears a sack- pair of slacks, a T-shirt, sneak- and an old leather jacket He rs that array on “Suspense.” when reporting to the picture lies; he was in “The Killers,” dr and Soul,” "To the Victors” “Sorry, Wrong Humber." It has never been recorded that he was coupled in the betting with “Dr. Kildare.” Observing him as he watched the crowds pour into the Downs for the Derby, we never got the impression he was thinking about what to do for the medical profession rather than what to do for Churchill Downs. However, it will be strictly O. K. to see horse racing advancing the cause of humanity. It will be a great conscience soother for Der by addicts. Their alibi for the long trip and the Derby hysteria can now be, "Can I help it if I want to see ambitious medical students get a chance?” * He will feel better coming back from the Derby, too. If his bangtail finishes out of the money, he will have the satis faction of realizing that Louis ville Medical college (by Matt Winn-Ballyhoo) "finished strong and will bear watching.” * We can picture the wide in fluence of the school of medicine on the Derby, and vice versa. Churchill Downs will probably be redecorated in white enamel, with a nurse at every mutuels window and an intern in the hot dog stands. Fans will have their temperatures taken before and after photo fin ishes, stethoscopes will be used to detect suppressed tips. * There will be special windows where fans may get a sedative. And if his inside information proves cold, there will be heat treatments on the mezzanine. * “Ladies and gentlemen,” we can hear the track announcer say, “the horses are on their way to the post to advance the cause of medicine and correct diagnosis. You have only five minutes in which to help a stu dent get through college.” Similarly, Louisville medical col lege professors will be alloted of. ficial colors or “silks,” classes wiU be opened with “Boots and Saddles” and on the day of exams there will be a morning line and late scratches. Life can be wonderful! But wo hope no student will be flunked for; bad behavior at the gate and; "quitting when challenged.” And let’s have no dean of the medical school thrown out of training for a “popped osselet” • • • Please Do Not Disturb I live in a disgraceful rut, A thing to be deplored By fierce, ambitious people, but I’m not the least bit bored.

Wilkinson Corner T HE TROUBLE with you,” Barry said, “is that you’re too ana lytical. Why don’t you throw caution to the wind for once and marry the girl?” Hugh sighed. His face took on that look of faintly aloof indulgence that he always conjured when 3 -Minute Barry became Fiction cri 1 * i f/ L 7° u wouldn’t under- stand,” he said. "You’re too impulsive to see what I’m driving at. Let me tell you, it pays to be careful.” “Sure it does. But it doesn’t pay to be overly careful. How does Valeria feel about it?” “How does she feel? How do you think she feels? When a girl’s in love she knows enough to be careful herself.” “Meaning, of course, that Val’s mad about you and she’s willing to wait until you get through analyzing and justify or compensate her shortcomings in your mind." Hugh gestured indifferently. “Fig ure it that way, if you like.” “Wouldn't it be a shock to you if you discovered -yourself to be wrong. I mean, if Val married someone else right under your nose.” “She won’t," said Hugh confi dently. “Girls aren’t made that way.” He stood up. “I haven’t been studying psychology and human be havior five years for nothing.” “But if she gets tired of waiting and marries some one else in the meantime, maybe you’ll regret it” “Don’t be ridiculous. Val won’t marry anyone else. I know what I’m doing.” Barry let a fortnight elapse before he again broached the subject of Val. It rankled him, and he felt better to get It off his chest. “Hate to mention it again, Hugh, but Val seems to think you’ve been neglecting her lately. Can’t blame her much, either.” “Cut it!” Hugh looked ugly. “I think you’d better let me tend to my own affairs, Barry. The girl loves me and when I get around to it. Til marry her. Goodness, can’t you understand that a man shouldn’t jump into such things!” “Or a woman either,” Barry of fered. “I happen to know Val was out with someone else last night.” “Good. Comparing the someone else with me will be the best thing in the world for her—and me too.” Hugh was annoyed. Blast it, why couldn’t Barry mind his own busi ness? Why did he always have to keep worrying about Val. It was plain as day that he didn’t under stand women. Val knew a good thing when she saw it. She loved him and was willing to wait. She was smart. V AGUELY HE wondered who the other man could be she was out with. It was sort of amusing in a way. Probably Val had merely told Barry that so Barry would tell him. Childish. Why, even a first- year psychology student could tell you that was nothing but a feeble attempt on the part of the female to excite jealousy in the man she loved. Three evenings later Hugh’s phone rang. It was Barry. He sounded far away. “Can’t hear you.” Hugh yelled into the mouthpiece. “Talk louder.” “I say,” came Barry’s voice, more distinctly, “that the thing I warned you against has happened.” “What thing?” said Hugh. "About Val. About her marrying someone else right under your nose. She’s done it.” "I don’t believe it,” said Hugh, feeling for the first time a queer sensation of alarm. “I saw it happen,” said Barry. “I was there." “Good lord!” Hugh was suddenly very much excited and very con cerned. “You can’t say I didn’t warn you,” Barry’s voice said, growing fainter. “Hey! Hold on a minute, Barry! Are you there! . . . Yes, yes, I know you warned me. Guess I was something of a fool. Who was it she married? This is terrible!" “Me,” said Barry, very faintly. And then the line went dead.

Not in the actual haylift opera tions, wherein grain for starving cattle and food for humans were dropped from airplanes, but in the preliminary phase of harvesting, without which the haylift would lave been impossible. The machine shown here turned out up to 7 bales a minute during the haying season of last year, add ing this tremendous output to the stockpiles of grain from which the haylift drew its supplies. Thus the machine helped to pro vide the thousands of "bombs” of baled hay with which fliers saved the lives of starving cattle in a great rescue operation. Just a few years ago operation haylift would have been impossible. It was not until this machine was in troduced in the early 1940’s that farmers could put their hay into twine-tied packages automatically. Tomatoes Important While the average farmer knows the value of a garden and always sees to it that he has ample garden planted to run his family through the year, there are still some men who glean their living from the soil who don't bother to plant a garden. The aim in gardening, at all, is to supply the household with vegeta bles—summer and winter; and the farmer who does this is always re paid not only with money saved and convenience of having supply imme diately at hand, but also by the nourishing value of home-processed foods. As family sizes and needs vary as much as individual tastes, the gar den should be as variable as any thing could be. Thus a garden be comes such an individual matter that the 'seed list for each must be individually worked out. However there is a principle in volved that is general and that is “planning.” Here is an example: The tomato is among the most versatile of vegetables t« prepare for the table and returns the most for the garden space occupied. So, there must be tomatoes. Properly handled, harvesting may start July 1 and tomatoes may be had fresh until several weeks after frost, or for about 120 days. At one and one- half servings a day, the fresh to mato amount should be about three and one-half bushels, as a serving for five persons is that needed to can a quart, a bushel canning 17 quarts. For the remaining 245 days, the tomatoes must come from cans and. allowing two servings weekly, 70 quarts are needed, or five bushels more. The total becomes eight and one-half bushels, or 510 pounds. A correctly-tended plant yields 10 pounds and 50 plants are needed. Of these, 15 should be early (Break O’Day), and 35 late (Rutgers). Other crops may be worked out as carefully based on family likes. New Variety of Alfalfa Officially Named Talent The promising alfalfa variety known as French alfalfa in south ern Oregon variety trials has been officially named Talent alfalfa by the Oregon state college experi ment station committee on new crop varieties, and seed increases are now underway to insure early commercial release of the variety Talent was selected as the name in honor of the community where trials were conducted. MIRROR Of Your MIND ^ ^ Verbal Musing Not Dangerous By Lawrence Gould / Is talking to yourself a sign of mental illness? Answer: Only if you think some- >ne is listening. A person may talk a himself, even out loud, for the lurpose of reducing his ideas to vords so as to make them clearer, ind the practice has been advo- :ated as a way of learning how to ■peak in public. But the fact that :ertain types of mental patients vho live in a dream world are ipt to be unaware of their sur- •oundings may lead them not only :o talk to themselves when they ire not alone, but to hold ani mated conversations with people vho exist only in their sick imag- nations. > Can physical disease change your personality? Answer: Never entirely, says Dr. Curt Schneider of the University )f Heidelberg. Even when brain njury or poisoning results in in- lanity, the symptoms will depend j jo some extent upon the patient’s iharacter and mental constitution, ind especially upon "his reaction » the experience of being ill." No matter what happen to you, mentally or physically, its effects will be influenced by the sort of person you are, and novhing can make your mind or personality exactly like anybody else’s. You’ll always be YOU. Is intelligence inherited from parents? Answer: Not to any extent we can count on. The noted authority on genius. Dr. Lewis M. Terman, has followed the histories of near ly 1500 "gifted” children to age 35, and says 30 per cent of their offspring show superior intelli gence, but how far this may be the result of better education and contact with brilliant adults, no one can prove. Students of heredity believe that high intelligence may be due to a fortunate combination of the “genes” inherited from many ancestors, but just having clever parents does not guarantee it LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE | KEEPING HEALTHY | Nervous Symptoms and 'Chronic Diseases' By Dr. James W. Barton I T IS generally agreed that about one-half of all patients who con sult their physicians have no real physical or organic disease, but nave symptoms which are the same or very similar to those present in organic disease. In all cases, the physician, after making a thorough examination. Is able to tell the patient that an organic disease is or is not present, [f not present, he is able to ex plain to the patient why the symp toms of organic disease are present, (t is because of the nervous make- ip of the patient. I am speaking of the general run of patients who nonsuit a physician. It is interesting to learn of a {roup of patients, all of whom are “chronics”—that is, have been un der the care of physicians for a bng time. In the “Journal of the American Medical Association," Drs. Frank N. Allan and Manuel Kaufman of the Lahey clinic in Boston, report their analysis of the mental, ner vous and emotional factors in 1,000 unselected cases, in which the patients had to come to the Lahey clinic for a general medical exami nation. They were all chronic cases. In 594 of the 1,000 cases, some physical illness was causing the symptoms; there was no real ner vous or emotional problem present that could be the cause or even a partial cause. In 272 cases the com plaints or symptoms were entirely due to nervousness or emotional disturbances. In 134 cases a com bination of physical disorder and “significant” nervous and emotion al disturbances was causing the symptoms. These physicians remind us that any illness involves a certain amount of nervous or mental dis turbance. The patient wonders what is wrong, what the outcome may be. The degree of nervousness de pends upon the make-up of the patient ■ HEALTH NOTES ■ Most of us have always thought that while slenderness of body was often associated with allergy, as people were “bom” that way, there was nothing that could be done about it It is indeed gratifying to know that if allergic children are protected as suggested, it means a more satisfactory- growth and de velopment of the body. Today, the medical profession re gards alcoholism as a disease which has its causes, symptoms and meth ods of treatment as have other dis eases. Quite frequently alcoholism is the result of poor and unsatisfactory emotional and other life habits. Sometimes it has caused actual changes in the structure at the brain tissue (organio disease).
