world would be as enereetically

Curtis.
He urged widening Of educational
opportunities for farm youths and
the setting up of lifetime loan

who have no assets "other than
their probability Of so years of active

He said the standard of living on
farms should be raised by building
attractive homes with modern con-
veniences and a program devised
that will tide the beginning farm
operator over adverse years.
The school at Curtis is in the
center of an area where farmers
have been battling drought for a
decade, and now, after brief respite
from natures devastating blows. are
seeing their sons and daughters
flock to the cities and lucrative de-
fense industry Jobs.
Mr.. Douthit sought adoption OF his
program "as the only way to stop
rapid decay Of our rural schools
and the small-town businesses that
maintain our high schools and
churches" The decline in farm
population, he added, cannot con-
tinue indefinitely without under
mining our whole agricultural
system"
Conferences with his students. he

Really Might Wed
A Letter Writer

Vera Hruba, the Czech girl who
must be married before March l or
face imprisonment, had $50 pro-
posals OF marriage every day last
week, but she still hasn't picked a
husband.
The flgure-skating star is only
20 years old, but she has incurred
the enmity of the German Reich,
conqueror of her native Czecho-
Slovakia. The United States will
have to order her deported to her
homeland by March /, because she
has already had four extensions on
her visitors visa, and the law per-
mits no more extensions.
The only thing tnat can save her
from returning to German occupied
Praha-and a concentration camp
Is American citizenship. The quota
for Czecho-Slovakia is filled up
for the next five years, due to the
tremendous flow of refugees from
that nation to America, and mar
riage IS the only solution. So Vera
has to get married.
Proposals Pour In.

story of her dilemma a week ago
hundreds of American got busy and
sent letters, kilograms, sonnets,
money and pictures of themselves,

she showed the press some of the

Facts Regarding
High Blood Pressure

HERE was time when the first
l. thought when patient had a
temperature was to give a drug
acetanilid, phenacetine, quinine, or
other-to reduce the temperature.
Today, the physician takes the tenn
perature and pulse as usual but
searches around to find the cause of
the temperature. If the temporal
ture gets very high, he may give
some drug to reduce it slightly but
he knows that the rise in temporal
ture shows that nature is putting up
fight against some invader.
1t would seem that the time has
come for patients and physicians to
take the same stand about blood
pressure. A patient learns that his
blood pressure is little above nor

follow a diet to bring it down.

quently has ideas of stroke heart
failure or Bright's disease in the
back of his mind"
Why Nature Raises Blood Pressure.
Now, what about high blood pres
sure? AS matter of fact, nature
has raised the blood pressure be-
cause it was necessary to raise or
increase it due to some condition
present in the body. This condition
may be real or organic condition
such as hardening of the arteries,
or it may be some condition such
as eating too much or worrying too
much. It is possible that some in
lection is present which is giving the
body processes more work to do
and the blood pressure increases
accordingly.
ALI that is necessary in many
cases is smaller meals, more rest
and relaxation, and not bothering to
have the blood pressure taken more
than two or three times year.

gall bladder diseases.
Dangers of Delay.
DR.. Glenn states that as the out
come of an acute Inflammation of
the gall bladder cannot be predict
ed (even as in acute appendicitis) :,
delay in operating may lead to dan
gerous complications which greatly
increase the difficulty of operation
and increase the death rate also.
The younger the patient undergoing
operation, the better the chance of
an uneventful recovery and good re-
suit from operation.
From his observation of these PIG
cases, DR.. Glenn recommends that
patients with disease of the gall
bladder and bile tubes or ducts I'M
dergo operation as soon as it is
known that this disease is present
unless the general condition of the
patient is such that further medical
treatment should first be given.
