Help for
Arthriitis
Sufferers

T Asst YEAR, when Mrs.
IL Lottie Chambers, 1408
Delaf1eld place NV, wanted
to touch her face for any
reason, she had to push her
arm with the other hand.
A victim of arthritis, she
was a bed patient and in
constant pain.
Now she Is able to walk
with crutches, and comes
regularly to the clinic at
George Washington Hos
pital, which continues to
help her toward full recov-
cry. She is shown at the
left with DR.. Thomas Nc
Pherson Brown, who found
ed the clinic.
The local chapter of the
National Foundation for
Rheumatic Diseases and Ar
Thrills is campaigning for
funds to expand the serv-
ices of this clinic and of
the one at Georgetown
Hospital, and to establish a
fellowship for a young ply
sician to specialize in the
field.
The foundation estimates
there are about 10000 per-
sons in the greater Wash
ington area afflicted with
these diseases.

There was a time when the en-
tire future of America hinged on
whether there were to be buffalo
and no white people west OF the
Mississippi, or whether there
were to be no buffalo and plenty
of whites.
So, if some misguided but kind
hearted humanitarian buttonholes
you and tells you that wiping
out the buffalo was a crime
against humanitarian instincts,
smile and say nothing. You know
that it was either the buffalo or
our necks.
AS long as the buffalo abound
ed, it was simply impossible to
vanquish the Indians from the
plains. They made monkeys OF
the u S. Army as long as they
had their food supply - plenty OF
buffalo.
The story of these buffalo days
is one of the great sagas of Amer
lea, and yet, according to historic
al writer Charles Booth, it is
doubtful if any other subject SC
close to home is so much under
| stood.
Most of us have a mental pic
ture of a man riding along side {
shaggy beast firing his rifle
directly into the huge body. Thi:
running method was merely
show-off's way, and only amateur
exhibitionists with horseflesh tC
spare used it.
The professional hunter useo
a much more prosaic system which
made up for its lack of drama by
being about 500 times more effec-

tive. It was known as hunting
from a stand" and was develop
ell because some smart bird dis
covered an interesting quirk in
buffalo psychology.
First was that far from roaming
the plains in herds numbering
millions, the buffalo normally was
an animal that ran in small
groups of 10 to 90 individuals IN
charge not of a believing bull,
but of an old cow.
Second was that if you isolated
one of these groups and shot the
leader through the lungs, so as to
make her bleed, the others would
not take flight, but just hang
around until you could shoot
down every member of the gang.
It was as exciting as shooting a
dairy herd in somebody's barn
yard.
The buffalo's disposition didn't
help him preserve himself for pos
terity either He was about the
most stupid animal that crowded
into the ark. He had almost nc
protective equipment. His eye
sight was poor, his hearing even
poorer, and he couldn't smell. He
wasn't pugnacious; his only in
stinct was to run. And he hao
such a low animal 10. that ne
didn't even think of running wher
his mama was shot. So he was
doomed.

leather equipment, and working at
a desk factory.

EXERA FEATURE
The Jacksonville Negro Golfers
Association is sending a 80 man
team to Miami to participate in the
Labor Day tournament.
A group of Miamians travelled to
Jacksonville last year in August
With a Is man team. The Miami
team lost the match, but made
fair showing.
The association will announce its
30-man team at a later date.
The Jax golfers probably will be
oddson favorite to win due to the
fact that they have had more tour
nament play experience plus the
privilege to play each day on their
privately owned course.
