His young daughter never has seen

That sums up the story William
Burns, 47, had to tell last night on
his way through here. He's going
home to Alabama. Nearly IA years
in hospital are behind him.
With him on the train were
two other paraplegic miners, head
ing the same way. Edgar Nor.

worlds most hazardous industries

had inadequate rehabilitation and

fund investigated their cases, union
officials said. But that's all over
now.
Optimistic About Future.
When they came through last
night these Strapping men-from
the waist up-didn't have too much
to say. Maybe they were a little
tired. But they were optimistic
about the future.
Although they were pleasant, they
gave the impression they have sad
moments. But instead of thinking
of themselves, they spoke of thei1
families.
William Burns has wife and
three children. He's been in bed
since 1884. Juanita, his 14-year- -old
daughter, cannot remember the
time when he could walk.
She won't see him walking now
but she'll see him on crutches. He

Pvt. Frederick L. Gibson, one Of
the policemen bitten, said he was
in squad car with Pvt. Charles B.

Gibson said the man began using
profanity and Policeman Kadel told

and fellow UNIV workers. They
usually developed complications on

zoo Being Hospitalized.
Mr.. Morgan was hurt last year,
Mr.. Kimbraugh in 1913. With Mr..
Burns, they finally got their break
when, according to union officials,
the welfare fund medical program
went into operation late last year.
At that time the DR.. Henry Howard
KeSSler Clinic was established for
these cases In the Newark IN. j.
Hospital for Crippled Children.
This industrial rehabilitation pro-
gram, since has been expanded as
facilities became available. Now
about 200 paraplegic UNIV workers
are being hospitalized. They are
being cared for in some Of the
Nations leading hospitals.
The unions officials said funds for
this purpose have come from the
welfare fund which UNIV President
John L. Lewis won in the 1916
bituminous coal strike. The 1947
fund, built from royalties Of 20
cents q ton of coal, totaled about
$50 900, 900. The 1948 payments will
approximate $10O, O,000, 900, it was said.
The rehabilitation time averages
six months. But in looking at the
three men on the train, and in talk
ing to them, it seems to be quicker.

Gonorrhea Is A
Serious Disease
BY CHARLES H. GARVIN, NJ. D.

CLEVELAND - amp - Gonor-
rhea is too often regarded casually
AS being mo worse than a bad
cold Physicians and community
health workers know this is not
true. Here are some pertinent facts
about gonorrhea which everyone
should know.
1t is estimated that each year ap-
proximately 100000 gonorrheal in
fections occur in this country. Only
about one-third of these infected
persons voluntarily applysfor treat
ment. Many persons are not aware
that they are infected, or worse
still - they may not care. When We
consider how effectively painlessly
and simply the disease can be treat
ed today, we realize that high incl
dence of the disease is both unnec.
essary and amazing.
Gonorrhea, when untreated, may
cause sterility in both men and wo-
men. The disease begins usually with
light or heavy discharge from the
sexual parts, a burning sensation
during urination, and some infla
nation. In men, the beginning sym
toms are usually very acute and
painful. Many women, however
may have symptoms so slight as TO
be unnoticeable. Without treatment.
the symptoms will in time disappear
but the disease may progress into
the reproductive organs and there
cause serious damage.
The germ which causes gonor-
rhea, If accidentally transferred To
the eyes, may cause blindness. Dur.
ing birth. babies may be blinded by
picking up the germ during pas
sage through the infected mothers

solution of silver nitrate is so
widely used in newborn babies eyes
by physicians, as a preventive moa.

Gonorrheal arthritis is another
late and painful result of the un.
treated disease. And I'm certain cases
the heart valves may be seriously
affected.
In 1943 penicillin was discovered

| of gonorrhea. Experiments in the
past five years have shown that one
injection of penicillin in oil and bees

gonorrheal infections, and that the
remainder will be cured by addition
al penicillin therapy. Only a physi-
clan can detrmine absolute cure.
The wise patient will have medi-
cal checkups over a long enough
period OF time to be sure he has not
contracted syphilis i'm addition To
his gonorrhea. These are two diff.
ferent diseases but they can both

Bill Walsh, veteran Catholic U
basket ball guard whose role has
been overshadowed by high-scoring
teammates, may be the key man in
his teams offense tonight when
c. U. ends its pre-holiday campaign
against Roanoke College at Brook
land. The Virginians humbled the
Cards, 81 to SO, last Saturday, ending
a four-game winning streak, and
c. U. is out for revenge.
Walsh's presence in the lineup
may free Capt. Gene Szklarz for
more offensive work. An outstanding
playmaker himself, Szklarz has
spent most of his time setting up
plays rather than driving in for shots
and Coach Abe Rosenfield thinks
his switch in strategy will mean
more points for the Cards. Walsh,
a smooth steady ball handler. will
be used as sort of a floor manager in
the new strategy, although, as Rosen-
field points out, he's handy man
