with Chicago Hospital

Dr.. Axel Hansen, jr., has
left Meharry Medical College,
where he was specializing in
diseases of the eyes, ears, nose
and throat, and is now with
the Provident Hospital and
Training School in Chicago.
Dr.. Hansen states that his
two years in Nashville, where
he went after leaving the Vir-

spent. His first year in Ortho-
pedic Surgery was a great ex-

convinced, he said, that his

The second year at Meharry
DR.. Hansen was appointed

Tough Job to Quit
British Government

Without losing an election, It's
almost impossible for a British
member of parliament to quit his
job.
Under Brisish law a member of

a few special cases such as bank
ruptcy or involvement in q scandal.
Such excuses as i'll health, business,
or even elevation to the peerage
aren't enough
There is way out. The M. P.
can get a royal appointment to

ho Once Gnoh
DOGS ENTER POLITICS

Somebody asked President Truman
the other day what had become Of
Feller, the cocker spaniel pup pre-.
sented to him last winter. "Oh, he's
around" answered the President,
admitting under pressure that the
pooch was still nonresident at the
White House and in charge of the
presidential physician, DR.. Graham,
over at his place. This is bound to
cost Harry more votes.
A dog, especially a puppy, is
good publicity. Affection for one
warns the public heart. 1t gives
the human touch to a man and to
a situation. But Harry seems about
as close to this pup as he does to
Hank Wallace.
After a single days blast Of pub
icity when the dog arrived at the
White House as gift, Teller fell
out Of the news. It later developed
that, not being housebroken, the
pooch had been turned over to DR..
Graham. And now, months later, the
animal is still an outsider. Mr.. Tru-
mans campaign hackers had better
look into this.
Any reputation a man may have
built up for big-heartedness, au-
thority and an ability to cope with
major problems is shattered when
the impression spreads that home
breaking a pup is too big for him.
We warn the Democratic ma
tional committee that all is lost
unless it Immediately takes action.
The Republicans may circulate a
photo of sad-looking presidential
pooch, alone and desolate, under
the caption "When a FeIler Needs
a Friend"
Harry should adopt a more heart
warming dog policy at once. Nas
he pup policy? Is he for tolerance
when it comes to housebreaking a
hound? What is his doghouse prob
lem, short term and long range? We
pause for reply.)
Better have the doctor bring the
poocn back to the White House,
Harry. He must be fairly well broken
by this time. If not it might be
good idea to keep the dog and fire

Record
Row
By Betty Miles

Vaughn Monroe dips into the
realm Of memory for his latest al
bum, titled, appropriately enough,
Down Memory Lane" Several of
the pieces are sung with a choir,
two are sung with the Moonmaids
and two are straight Monroe vocals.
Among the songs designed to con-
jure up visions of things past are
Memory Lane" Memories" Re
member" Thanks for the Memory"
and Just a Memory"
Not new to record stacks, but an
album different and worth hearing,
is Music Out of the Moon" The
haunting theremin, the instrument
that's played as if by magic, is used,
as well as group humming and har-
mony that will long stay in your
mind. Harry Revel created the basic
idea and the themes. Leslie Bax-
ter, arranger and conductor, did
the arranging job. instrumental
effects with woodwinds, string and
bass combine with the vocal har-
monizing to create the desired effect.
DIR. Samuel j. Hoffman, who
played the theremin in Spell
bound" and Spiral Staircase" plays
the instrument, injecting its notes
occasionally like unearthly human
humming into the atmosphere. The
instrument is played by the motion
of the hands in the air over an
electronic field. Volume is guided
by the left nand. pitch by the right.
But the hands never touch the in
strument. The cover comment
claims that you can't appreciate the
album sitting in booth in a rec
crd shop, and the commentator is
right. It's mood music, high lighted
with a mood instrument, and made
for mellow moments and dream
in. ..
LARGO LARGO Lii Bolero" is Peggy
Lees followup to the successful
"Manana." Dave Barbour and the
Brazilians also accompany Peggy

the song is a sentimental one. Talk

Scalp Massage WI Promote
Hair Health and Beauty
By Elizabeth Taylor

HOLLYWOOD, CNANA)-T h e
secret Of beautiful hair is q healthy
scalp. But In order to have a
healthy scalp. you should give it
constant care.
I have set aside Is minutes each
day just to give my hair the at
tention 1t needs to stay In good
condition.
My routine begins with a scalp
massage, using the tips Of the
fingers. I start at the hairline and
work in. rubbing hard and 'vigor-
ousiy. BY leaning forward and
holding the head down, there is
even more stimulation.
The massage is followed with
thorough brushing. A stiff hair
brush brings the best results.
Sydney Guilaroff, MGM hair styl-
ist, taught me the brushing tech
nique favored by most Hollywood
stars.
You begin by brushing the hair
away from the face. Then with
the head bent forward, brush it
downward from the nape of the
neck, using long, even strokes.
I get double action by using two
brushes-one in each hand!
Before a shampoo, any dandruf
that might be present in the hair
should be removed. This can be
done by parting the hair in sections
and massaging the scalp with a
comb. Be careful not to press too
hard, for you may injure the roots
of the hair.
I like to give my hair at least
three good gatherings followed by a
thorough rinsing under the shower.
Then I finish off by fluff drying my
hair with one of mothers large
turkish towels.
Next comes the task of removing
the tangles, which should be done
while the hair is still q little damp.
A brush is better for this purpose,
because a comb may break off ends.
For day wear, I like to put my
hair up in large pincurls that will
brush out into soft casual waves and
curls when they are dry.
But for evening, I prefer an up
swept hairdo like the one / wear

to keep neat when the stray hairs

Not particularly eager to have oul

Danish naval officers, among these

to prevent it from falling into Ger
man hands, since it was known thai
they we're planning to seize it ane

After this my father and all the
naval officers were made prisoner.
by the Germans in the neighbor-
hood of Copenhagen. Since it wa!
OF greatest importance for m!
father to have some pictures of thu
explosions smuggled out, he in
formed my mother secretly to CONF
out to get them without the know
ledge of the guards.
She disguised herself as wash
woman and went out there earl,
the following morning with the res
of the washwomen. At the entrance
they were inspected. and after tina
she somehow managed to meet m,
father, get the pictures, and ge
out fast. Shortly afterwards tn,
films were transferred through
Sweden to England and the Unitet
States, where they were published
and they gave the world an impres
sion of a small country's struggle
for freedom. The Nazis did no
occupy Sweden because they didn'
think themselves able to spare s.
many of their troops for the oc
cupation of Scandinavia.

form a greater work there than il

and there with the assistance OF my
mother they arranged q connection
to Sweden.
A day never will forget is Oc-
tober %, 1943, the day Of our esq
cape from our own country which
for the first time in Danish history
was in the hands of foreign nation
ruled by the most gruesome and
ruthless men. At 4 o'clock we got a
taxi and with only three small kit
bags We reached the station. In
order not to be too big group we
separated so that my father and
Oldest brother were together, and
my mother, my other brother and
I in the other group, and we pre-
tended not to know each other.
After about sixty minutes on the
train we reached "Snerkersten"
where we all met again at little
distance from the station, then
walked approximately one kilometer
to house to which an entirely un-
known man from the Danish un-
derground movement led us. We
were received by very friendly,
understanding, and kind people who
after having told us the boat was
due at 7:3O pm, invited us to q
wonderful dinner.
| AS we sat down to the table
man entered saying that every
thing was ready. Actually the only
time I was afraid was when We in
the dark evening went by car
through innumerable strange roads
and turns down to the harbor, or
rather the dock, where small
fisherboat was waiting. After the
sign was given that the German
patrol. which continuously in
spected the coastline, had just
passed, we rapidly descended into
an almost microscopic little cabin
smelling Of rotten fish and tar.
As we left the dock two Danish
policemen from the underground
movement waved good-by and
wished us a happy voyage. It was a
clear, beautiful night with thou
sands Of glittering stars. Every
thing seemed so peaceful until the
captain got sight of a German pa
troll boat in the distance; but for
tunately we were not recognized be-
cause of our darkened lanterns.
We reached the Swedish coast
safely where we were met by a
Swedish policeman with friendly
welcome to Sweden"
Thus our dramatic escape ended
happily for us, but a few months
later we received the tragic news
that the captain of the fishing boat
had been captured by the Germans
shipping other refugees to Sweden,
and was later executed.

Weevil Control
Vital TO Growth
OF Strawberries

Although Strawberries are mi
|, nor crop in Yakima county they
are of major importance to those
growing them and every precau-
ton should be taken to protect
them from weevil damage, states
John Keene, Associate Extension
Agent, in Yakima County.
Controlling weevil should be
considered as important an oper-
alton each season as watering, fer
tilizing or any other practice in
strawberry production. E.,
An uncontrolled infestation of
weevil can almost entirely ruin a
strawberry planting in one year.
AS weevil are small and not much
in evidence during the daytime
they may invade berry patch
during the summer in large num-
bers without being noticed. Eggs
are laid during the summer and
the young larvae hatch and bur-
row into the ground where they
feed on the fibrous roots during
late summer and early fall. AT
this season plant growth is slowing
down and the injury is not notice
able.
In the early spring the larvae
again become active and crowns
are destroying these parts.
AS plant growth starts the root
system being damaged to the ex-
tent that 1t can supply little, If
any, plant food, the plant either
dies or is stunted to the extent
that it becomes unproductive.
Strawberry patches are already
dead and dwarfed plants where
weevil were uncontrolled last
year.
At present, both types, the black
vine weevil and the strawberry
root weevil, are in the larval stage
at which time control measures
are ineffective.
Infested patches will be observ-
ed regularly for the emergency Of
the adult weevils and on their APP
pearance control measures will
be outlined.
Information on control Of straw
berry insects and diseases Is dis
cussed in Extension Bulletin 246,

Farmers Field Day, June 18, is
going to be one of the most inter-
esting ever staged according to
John J. Sturm, station director of
the Dry-Land Experiment station
located near Lind.
AS chairman of a committee
from the Lind Chamber of Com
merce, Sturm outlined plans for
the 1913 show at a committee
meeting held Tuesday evening in
Lind. The plans include both
demonstrations and lectures at the
station and Harvest Festival in
Lind.
The program at the station will
start at 9 am. and run until 3 pm.
Beginning at 3, Lind automobile,
truck and implements dealers plan
a street showing of all types of
farm equipment. Frank LeFriec,
Walter D. Krehbiel and H. S.
Snead were appointed to make ar
rangements for this event.
William J. Kasper was appoint
ed to make arrangements for a
free show to be open only to chill
dren. He was also instructed to
make arrangements for additional
attractions.
The Lind Active club, at their
last meeting, made arrangements
for an auction sale to be held in
conjunction with the towns part
of the celebration.
Sturm issued the invitation to
all types of businesses and all
manufacturers who wish to pre-
sent new or established ideas, ma
chinery, inventions or anything OF
interest to the people of the Big
Bend area to write or see him OF
a committeeman. ~.
He stated that primarily the
station is interested in giving the
latest farming information to
the farmers of the Big Bend. He
feels that new machinery and new
ideas 60 hand in hand with ac-
