Church Leader Asks
Gov. 0'Conor 10 Veto
Jdi A|ai Measure
Two Tokomu Park Groups
Also Join Fight on
Montgomery Bill

DR.. Oscar F. BlackWelder, presi-
dent of the Washington Federation
of Churches and two Takoma Park
groups today had joined the grow
ing ranks of opponents of the Mont
gomery County jai alai betting pro-
posal.
Charging that members of the
Maryland Legislature are being
"herded like CATTLE DR.. Black
welder urged Gov. O'Conor to veto
the bill enacted on the last day of
the session to permit referendum
on pari-mutuel betting on jai alai
in Montgomery.
The Takoma groups joining the
fight are the Parent Teacher Asso-
citation of the Takoma Park Ele-
mentary School and the Takoma
Park Presbyterian Church. Both
sent letters to Gov. O'Conor urging
a veto. Wilbur La Roe, jr., chair
man of the Civic Affairs Committee
of the Washington Federation of
Churches, also has sent similar
request to the Governor
DR.. Blackwelder, a resident of
Westmoreland Hills, Md. declared

ture herded like cattle"
However, DR.. Blackwelder voiced
belief that Gov. O'Conor "as a sound
student of public policy" will sense
the opposition of "the real people
of Montgomery County to this jai
alai bill"
For those of us who live and pay
taxes in Montgomery County and
also have many parishioners there,
let those who control the Maryland
State Legislature like sheep be ad-
vised that they are in for the hard
est fight of their young lives if they
force a referendum in this ISSUE"
Dr. Blackwelder declared
The Washington Ministerial Union
and the executive board of the
Montgomery County Federation of
Ministers voiced opposition to the
bill Tuesday.

A sample of a woman's blood,
taken shortly after she had been
given the type of hair wave held
responsible for the death of for
mer Washington society matron in
Georgia, is being analyzed by the
Naval Medical School, it was dis
closed today.
The blood donor is Mrs Gertrude
Demonet, vice president of the
Washington Hairdressers Associa-
ton, who said she had been given
the "heatless hair wave" Tuesday
night.
Earlier Tuesday, a death certifi-
cate was filed in Atlanta, stating
that Mrs. Agnes Scott Searcy, for
merly of Washington, had died pri-
marily because of "acute hydrogen
sulfide poisoning" absorbed through
the scalp during hair-waving
treatment by the heatless method.
Mrs. Demonet said she had suf-
fered no i'll effects from three previ-
Gus waves by this method and
went ahead with the treatment
after hearing about the death.
Called Next Day.
The following day she was called
to the Naval Medical School as a
Red Cross donor to give her blood
for blood plasma research, as she
had done three previous times.
She notified the school of the hair
wave and school authorities said
the blood was being set aside for
analysis.
Mrs. Demonet said she had do
mated blood for the work the first
time within "a hours of receiving
the wave. At the school it was ex-
planned that her blood was pooled
with that of many other donors,
resulting in dilution to the point of
harmlessneSs.
No official statement on the re-
suits of the analysis will be made
until it has been put through
number of tests, it was said.
Packages Seized
Meanwhile, Federal authorities
continued to seize packages of the
cold wave" solution from beauty
parlors. According to the district
attorneys Office, three patches of
the materials for the wave have
been confiscated, with April 81 set
as the return date for filing answers

WHAT OF HEALTH FADs?

The subject of how to live long is al
ways of interest, which perhaps accounts
for the eagerness of the average mortal to
seize upon various methods which are
recommended for promoting health and
longevity, such as, doing daily exercise to
.radio~mlIsic and the like. ss's ets go
80 However, there are many who are
SskHptical regarding the real benefits of
strenuous physical activity One aof these
wrote letter to the Cleveland Press, point
ing out that Walter Camp, famed athlete
and originator of the daily dozen,o died
at 65, while he, the writer, had never taken
any kind Of exercise to speak of and was
still in excellent health, although great
grandfather. He added that '3the longest
lived people are the physically lazy, but
mentally alert"
Commenting ON the letter, William
Feather, well-knoWn editor, declares that
several years ago he adopted a vigorous
health program, including vegetarianism,
cold baths and the daily dozen, with this
result:
Acute indigestion led to the abandon
ment of vegetarianism on doctors orders
Another doctor recommended discontinue
anee Of cold baths. The daily dozen are
still pursued, but faith in them has been
shaken by the untimely death of their in
ventor"
Still we may find many who swear by
the health fads and feel that their lives have
been saved thereby. AS the proyerb has it,
What is food for some is black poison to
Others"
