The Importance Of Prompt
Operation In Appendicitis

the symptoms and may keen m
operation from being performed
when it is necessary. Once the
diagnosis of acute inflammation
OF the appendix has been made,
operation as rule should be car
ried out at once.
Better to Operate
1t would seem better to opcrate
in a few cases when appendicitis
is suspected and is not prcscn,
than to let any patient succumb
to this illness, because the opera
ton is done too late. OF course, il
the operation is not done the ap-
pcndix frequently breaks open,
spillinE its contents into the alb
dominal cavity and leading to
infection known as pcritonitis or
inflammation of the lining men,
brane of the abdomen.
Attempts should not be made
to ward of the appendicitis with
such drugs as pcnicillin or the
sulfonamide preparations since
this as n rule will not avail and
may allow the appendix to rupture
before operation is performed.
Great advances in recognizing
and treating appendicitis have
been made during the past rs
years, but so long as one person
dies who could have been saved,
there is moro to be done.
Patients and their families
should remember that "wait and
see is very bad and dangerous
policy where appendicitis is con-
ccrned. Once this disease has been
diagnosed, the sooner operation Is
performed. the better. Carried out
at once, 1t Is very simple and re-
covery Is rapid. whereas. delay
' may result in fatal complications.

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.

IN ONE recent year, 10000
people in the United States died of
appendicitis, far too high a figure
in view of the fact that many of
these lives could and should have
been saved!
DR.. Karl b. Pace of North Caro-
lima, estimates that early diagno-
sis and prompt operation would
have prevented Mt least half of
these deaths. OF course, carly Ill
agnosis prcsumes that the doctor
is called at once.
Similar Symptoms
Even then, IL may not be easy to
tell appendicitis from several
other conditions which have SINH
lar symptoms, inflammation of the
pancrcas, rupturcd ulcer of the
stomach, kidney stone, gallbladder
disease and inflammation of the
fallopian tubes in women. How
ever, according to DR.. Pace, in
three out of four cases in which
an operation is necessary for cur
ing an abdominal condition, ap-
pendicitis is responsible.
The symptoms Of appendicitis
consist of pain, which usually
starts in the middle Of the abdo-
mon and then finally locates in the
right lower part; some spasm Of
the muscles, tenderness in this
area; occasionally, some fever: in
crease in the number Of white cells
in the blood: sickness to the stom-
ach, and vomiting. Appendicitis Is
most common in persons between
Is and 35 years of age. OF course,
1t can occur in persons Of any age.
1t is unwise In cases Of abdom-
inal pain to give a strong pain
relieving drug since this will hide

When airmail was instituted it was
an untried experiment. 1t was not
known what price per letter would in
clude a reasonable profit for the car
riers and pay postoffice cost of handl-

Some seventy-nine independent air.
lines have now asked the government
for permission to transport it at three
cents, and to move air parcel post at
rates considerably lower than the exist
ing rates. The three cent rate proposed
for first class air mail represents a
considerable saving for patrons from

Politicians Hold The Cards

As long as it is well known that the
administrations domestic policies and
President Truman's decisions are on
trolled by the hope of retaining a
democratic majority in both branches
of Congress, it is worth while to note
how the membership is divided and
what must be achieved to reach that
goal or lose control to the republicans.
The republicans need pick up only
twenty-six seats in the House and ten
in the Senate to wrest control from
the democrats. The number is small,
to be sure, but the best republican
leaders claim at this time is the pos
sibility of a fifty-fifty break. On the
other hand the democratic leaders are
confident of holding a small majority.
They have an advantage in that their
greatest strength comes from the
larger industrial cities while the re-
publicans hold seats in the House at the
disposal Of smaller communities and
rural districts. This is why labor
"gains' are so carefully cuddled by the
administration.
To be sure Mr. Truman's hackles
rose a little over the rail and coal
strikes, but by the time the Case bill
came along they had gone down, smooth
and glossy, and he vetoed it with the
November elections in mind.
After all, it is quite apparent that
the best republican and democratic
leadership can do now is guess as to
the control of the next Congress. It
is hopeless to expect that policies or
legislation will be adopted strictly on
merit in the meantime. On the con-
trary every step will be measured by
the. political yardstick.
The majority so ardently coveted by
the republicans and so carefully cult
waited by the democrats is bound to be
determined, not by the vital needs of
the people at large, but by the craft
Of the politicians.

Broader Rural Education

Better roads, the radio and the in
duction Of farmers ons into the armed
forces with their training largely con-
Quoted in camps near cities, have so
narrowed the span between rural and
urban life that improved educational
facilities for farm children, with en-
Iphasis on their particular needs, has
become a major problem of school
leaders. Within a few weeks nine
regional conferences have been conduct
ed with the object of discovering and
implementing courses of study especial
ly designed to meet these needs.
At one of these held at Teachers
College, Columbia University, under
sponsorship of the National Education
Association, these recommendations
were presented as representing a cross
section of farm-leader opinion in the
North Atlantic area:
/. Education should be close
ly linked with the problems of every
day rural life.
2. Children should be encouraged
to discuss such problems as why the
farmer gets less than one third OF the
consumers dollar spent on farm prod
ucts.
3. More attention should be given
to soil conservation.
4. Schools should teach children
how to live better on farms and how
to operate modern machinery, rather
than teach them the historic dates.
These proposals apply with equa
value to any section. There seems NJ
good reason why rural pupils canno'
learn historic dates and events as wei

This is purely personal so if you
don't feel like indulging in one OF
my little whims you, of course,
have my permission to turn the
page.
Back in the dim past, in case !
haven't already told you, l aspir-
ed to be what the boys refer to
and refer to with a somewhat
pointed look down the nose-as a
sports expert.
Just in case the term confuses
you, let me explain what a sports
expert is: he is usually a new
conner to the newspaper trade. He
can beat out copy or a typewriter
with two fingers at a fairly fast
rate of speed and he can, and
does, speak Familiarity of the days
when he knew John McGraw, Jack
Dempsey, Earle Sande, and others
Of the sports fraternity who build
up names for themselves in the
various fields of sports.
Usually, too, the expert knows
no more about these figures than
you do. He simply has read all
about them for SO long that he
fools ever himself into believing
that he has actually known them.
Sometimes he has known them;
more often he hasn't.
Well, having got all the way
down to here I want to rush to tell
you something of my past. This
past caught up with me the other
night when l was looking over
some back copies of The Morning
Star. previously I've explained
that The Star is having all its back
numbers photographed on micro
film so that if you want to look up
something that happened is or SO

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas. Gard Authority

The summer session of the ma
tional championships of the Ameri-
can Contract Bridge League will
be held again this year at the
Hotel St. George in Brooklyn, N.
Y, Aug. 4 to II. Ninety pairs
were entered last year in the
world championship Masters pair
event, and this year more than
100 pairs are expected to enter
this greatest of all pair events, the
winners of which are awarded the
world championship pair title and
custody of the Waldemar o Zed-
twitz gold trophy.
Defenders this year will be M.
A. Lightman of Memphis, Tenn.
and Robert Appleyard of New
York.
Appleyard, who has won this
title twice, plays a beautiful de-
fensive game. He held the North
cards in today's hand and won the
opening lead with the ace of
hearts.
Declarer without a seconds
hesitation put on the king. This
would indicate a singleton, but
Appleyarfd was not fooled. He re-
turned the queen of hearts and
cashed the setting trick.
Declarer made a fine play when
he put his king of hearts on the
first trick. He knew that the seven
of hearts had to be a singleton.
And if North made a mistake and
did not come back with a heart,
East could get rid of all OF dunn
my's hearts on his good clubs
and ruff his losing heart.
But Appleyard reasoned that
East would not bid six spades with
a losing diamond and losing heart.
Therefore he thought that an at
tempt to cash the ace of diamonds
would be a give-up play.

Yes, Friends, Everything Is Relative
EuenR ightDown ToA Man S DUN Age

as having been the writer OF the
column.
Now, finding this sort Of thing
is very much like running across
an old trunk and finding a bunch
of love letters all neatly bound
up in pieces of lavender and old
lace. And, believe me, it wasn't
so much what was written in the
column-something about Miller
Higgins, The Four Horsemen OF
the Apocalypse, Knute Rockne, OF
course, and other items of that
vintage-as it was the sudden
realization that at least Is years
ago 1 was pecking away at word
age to 60 into the columns of The
Star.
Now, whether you believe it or
not, finding these columns and
realizing that 16 years ago business
didn't make me feel suddenly old.
Because, naturally, I am not.
What intrigued me mainly about
running across those ancient col
umns was the picture. In the past
several years when a brush has
sufficed to make whatever locks
I have left up there on top lay
down smoothly, I suppose I'd lost
sight of the fact that once I did
have a shock of hair; a shock of
hair SO heavy that l could even
afford a coWlick which gave me
every appearance in the world OF
having a pompadour.
Too, in that picture I noted a
complete lack of crowfeet around
the eyes and there yer few, if
any, worry lines. But of course the
lines that now make out the map
of my face are certainly not indi-
cative of aging, but rather proof
that I have spent many years
squirting into the sun-that wealth
er-beaten look, you know.
OF course, all this was simply
an excuse to remind you that once
l was a sports expert, that I did
have a lot of hair, that my face
was smooth. But it does serve an
other purpose.
That purpose is this: How about
you delving back into the trunks
you probably took off to college
in the dim and distant past and
finding therein a snapshot of you
of about is years ago.
Now, that you've found it. do YOU
actually feel a great deal older?
Or do 20, feel the same way
about it that ! do: namely, how in
the. world did you ever get the no
ton back in those days that a man
50 or 40 years old was living in
the afternoon of life? But | bet YOU
did back in those days.
And, further, I'll lay you odds
that If you did think such a thing
back in those days, today vo1y,ve
become SO tolerant of such ancients
that you're willing to stand I'm md
say, along with me, WHY. yes 7

So l leafed through some OF these

you. I was actually looking for
what I found. 1t was back in May,

a column called Down the Field.

it was my picture. 1t must have
