CLEARS $1O7

The sum of $1O7 was cleared at
the festival sponsored by the Band
Mothers club, Friday evening. On
account of the inclement weather,
the festival was held at the armory
instead Of on the square as planned,
where the receipts would probably
have been more, as some features,
such as the creased pole, etc, were
necessarily omitted. The proceeds
went into the band uniform fund.

sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Leeper,
received the prize for the best mask
ed couple. They were dressed as

carriage. Wilma Roberts, dressed

PHYSICIANS FROM 8. e. OHIO
MET HERE WEDNESDAY

Physicians from IL southeastern
Ohio counties gathered in the high
school auditorium here Wednesday
for an intensive session in the study
of recent advances in medical
science. Five authorities in differ
ent fields presented lectures as part
of five-year program of post-grad-
uate medical education sponsored
by the Ohio State Medical Associa-
tion.
Beginning at p. M, the meeting
continued through the evening with
a dinner following the afternoon
session. The speakers presented
4-minute discussion of new develop
ments in treatment and diagnosis,
and following each there were Ques-
tions from the physicians in the
audience.
A special feature of the meeting
was a short talk by DR.. Harry
Paryzek, of Cleveland, president OF
the Ohio State Medical Association,
who discussed important current af-
fairs in Ohio such as the steps be-
ing taken toward development of
prepayment medical care plans and
national defense program.
DR.. c. C. Sherburne, president Of
the Columbus Academy of Medicine
and a teacher at o. S. u, College of
Medicine, listed the many uses of
sulfanilamide and it's related mir
acle drugs" showing which of the
various new drugs is most effective
in each of the diseases which can
be cured by them. Among the all
ments he mentioned which yield to
these new chemicals are pneumonia,
gonorrhea, ''strep" infections, ira
choma, gas gengrene, certain kinds
of meningitis, and others. He
stressed the point that they must
be administered by physicians be-
cause of the temporary incidental
effects which they sometimes pro-
duce.
Diseases caused by inadequate
diet were discussed by DR.. William
B. Bean, assistant professor at the
University of Cincinnati College of
Medicine. He pointed out that cer-
tain conditions such as pregnancy,
fevers, or digestive disorders may
either increase vitamin require
ments or decrease vitamin intake
and thus make even a normal diet
inadequate.
Best methods of handling the
various problems connected with
pregnancy and childbirth were out
lined by Dr. Charles w. Pavey, as
sistant professor of obstetrics, O.
S. u, College of Medicine.
Treatment of Nephritis in Chill
dren' was the topic Of DR.. James G.
Kramer, visiting pediatrician at Ak
ron hospital. He pointed out the
various means of diagnosing and
treating both chronic and acute kid
ney disorders in youngsters.
DR. Arnold F. Sydow, industrial
and plastic surgeon from Cleveland,
discussed modern methods used by
the physician to prevent soaring
and disfiguring of patients who have
suffered severe burns. Defermities
should be prevented whenever pos
sible, he urged, but when they oc-
cur they should be remedied by
some form of skin grating
