Center Problem

Wildcat hopes for victories II
three basketball games away from

will depend mainly on whether
Coach Ralph Bergstrom has CEN
ter ready for action.
The Falls cagers travel to Eu-
reka for game Friday and ther
swing over the mountains fol-
games with Shelby Tuesday anc
Browning Wednesday evenings.
Carl McLauchlin, who has been
the front line center, is still 6
doubtful starter because of cold
Bob Waddell, McLauchlin's under
study has just returned to school
after being called home by a death
in the family. The layoff will nc
doubt be reflected in his timing
Richard Grilley, who turned in q
pleasing performance at center
against Shelby after being shifted
from his forward post, has an in
jured knee.
In the event none of this trio
is available for action, Don Lee
will be pressed into the center
role. Up until the present Lee has
been playing guard.
Eureka, always tough opponent
on the home floor, holds victories
over Troy and Bigfork, indicating
a busy evening for the locals.
Shelby, although beaten by the
Wildcats here Friday, was a very
poised bunch and proved it next
evening by polishing off Whitefish
An indication of Browning's
strength is the list of victims
which includes Cut Bank, Sum-

Report on Thoyer
Condition Poor

Thursday noon report from Kali
ispeIl general hospital is: Ralph
Thayer condition, not good. Head,
internal and leg injuries serious.
Ralph, SO, alternate ranger for
the Flathead rivers north fork
Glacier View district of the ma
tional forest, was inspecting storm
damage to trails, telephone lines
and roads. 1t was Monday at 3:4O
p. m. when Ralph came to the
steep hill just before Canyon creek
bridge, IL miles north OF Columbia
Falls. 5H
He saw car coming up the hill,
and to give it clearer passage
backed the pickup.
1t went off the grade, and fell
about 100 feet end over end onto
a bar on the edge of the river,
throwing Ralph out.
There was about a foot of snow
on the road. In the other car at
the bottom of the hill were John
and Mickey Ladenburg. They
climbed down the cliff to Ralph;
shoveled clear spot in the snow;
found two EiderdoWn sleeping
bags in the pickup, built fire;
erected a tarp reflector; used first
aid, and made Ralph comfortable.
Then John went for help. At the
old Junkins ranch he tried to tel
ephone, and finally got word to
Sheriff Dick Walsh and the Kalis-
pell ambulance.
The ambulance got stuck before
reaching Canyon creek. 1t had no
chains.
Finally Sheriff Walsh, DR.. Beck
and the ambulance driver with the
help of the Ladenburgs brought
Ralph out from the rocky hillside.
1t was Ills p. m. when they passed
through Columbia Falls.
1t was an anxious community
Monday night. No word had come
from the sheriff or the Laden
burgs. The town thinks well of
Ralph Thayer. A search party was
organized after 10 p. M, and start
ed out, when it met the ambulance.
Supv. F. j. Neitzling and Jack
Jost of the forest service were
highly complimentary of the Lad
enburg brothers cool handling of
the situation. One comment was
"it couldn't have been better.
Ralph is a tough man. Back in
December, 1916 he was caught by
a blizzard followed by 20 degrees
below when returning from the
North Fork. 1t was at Fool Hen
hill. He climbed the telephone
pole, and called in telling where he
was. Then he dug hole in the
snow, obtained wood supply,
used part of blanket for door
to his igloo and waited 21e days.
Moccasins were made from the
rest of the blanket and food was a
loaf of bread. Snowshoeing was
impractical in view of the loose
snow. Ralph was none the worse
for this experience. He was res
cued by Rudy Arvidson driving a
cat followed by Sheriff Walsh and
Leonard DoWler.
There was another time that he
survived an attack by a grizzly
bear.

Cover That Couqh

"Cover that cough, smother that
sneeze" is not only good advice for
people in public places. 1t has prac-
teal meaning in the cowbarn, too.
Danger that coughing cattle may
spread respiratory infections to
their stablemates is highlighted in
a research report from the Ameri-
can Veterinary Medical associa-
ton.
The report describes an unusual
case of tuberculosis of the eye in
heifer. A tuberculosis COW with
bad cough, sanctioned next to the
heifer, is believed to have spread
the disease.
AVMA points out that this case
occurred in England, where bovine
tuberculosis is widespread. Al
though tuberculosis has been re-
duced to a minimum in United
States herds, coughers and sneezers
are nevertheless menace because
they may spread all kinds of res
piratory infections. Isolation of any
animal showing respiratory symp-
toms is urged, therefore, to protect
the rest of the herd.

KEEPING HEALTHY
Causes and Treatment Of Hives
BY DR.. James w. Barton

WHEN HIVES (urticaria) occurs,
w the first thought naturally is
to relieve the itching and burning
but there are so many substances
that can cause hives that we must
try to find the cause as soon as
possible.
Thus, as certain foods are often
to blame, the first method of treat
ment is to give an emetic to induce
vomiting, such as a teaspoon of
mustard in half glass of water.
If the food has been in the body for
some time, then a dose of castor
oil or EPSON salts should be taken.
The drug most commonly used to
relieve symptoms is the injection
of 10 to is minims (drops) of ad-
renalin under the skin.
While cleansing out the stomach
and intestine and the injection of
adrenalin (epinephrine) give al
most immediate relief from the
itching and burning, it should be
remembered that the system has
received a shock and needs rest in
bed, with liquid food for a day or
two.
When hives are over the entire

Answer: No, however hard she
may try, and however relieved
father may be by the thought of
dumping his responsibilities onto
her shoulders, says DR.. Edward A.
Strecker author of "Their Mothers
Sons" For the fact remains that
mother is a female, and a child
must learn to grow up in a world
that's male AND female. "Your
son needs a man around whom he
can initiate. You want him to
glory in physical strength, learn
to be aggressively fearless, re-
sourceful, protective-in short, mas
culine. He will not learn that from
his mother"

body, baking soda, which is always
soothing to the inflamed skin, is
effective-a cupful in the regular
bath or half cup in the wash tub.
After drying, touching the hives
with baking soda talcum or flour
prolongs the relief.
While the above treatment gives
considerable relief in all cases, the
cause of the hives should be sought
so that chronic hives or frequent
attacks of hives can be prevented
by avoiding the foods, drugs and
other substances found to be the
cause or causes.
In addition to these causes, it is
now known that just as emotional
disturbances can increase the heart
rate, raise the blood pressure,
cause stomach upsets and diar-
rhoea, so they can cause hives and
other eruptions of the skin.
One of the substances manufac-
tured by the body tissues is histam-
inc, a factor associated with al
lergic symptoms including hives.
For this reason what are known as
antihistamine drugs, such as bena-
dryl, are used to treat hives.

Shown here is a refrigerator
completely insulated with the
new plastic foam insulation
material. This is the way the
refrigerator looked after the
insulation job was done, but
before door liner and other
parts were put back in place.
it is the result of a three-year
search for an effective insulating
material that will fill large areas,
yet weigh next to nothing"
The foam is made by heating a
molasses-like synthetic resin at
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit until
it expands to 100 times its original
volume, then solidifies. Thousands
of gas bubbles entrapped in the
foam "buoy' it up and give the
plastic its lightness.
Foamed into pre-fabricated metal
wall sections, two-inch thick lay
er weighing only 300 pounds would
be enough to insulate a complete
six-room house, Sterling said.
Resistant to fire, moisture, fun
gus growth and insects, the foam is
low enough in cost to be practical
for many applications and uses,
the scientist said.
Not only do imprisoned air bub-
bles give the new plastic great
lightness, but they also provide it
with its excellent insulating quail
ties. So-called dead air. is one of
the best insulators known among
commonly available materials,
Sterling said.

Field Mice Destructive
To Melon Crops, Seed

Untold damage is done each year

so the plants which are up and

Bowers explained that the mea-
dow mouse destroys the seed after
they are planted, and the pine

Do longer hours mean getting
more work done?

Answer: No, say statisticians Of
the us. Bureau of Labor, report
ing survey of 2445 male and 1860
female workers in "a different in
dustrial plants in this country.
Generally speaking, the study in
dicates that, everything else being
equal, the 8-hour day and 4O-hour
week are best in terms of eff
cheney and absenteeism, and that
higher levels of hours are less
satisfactory" Longer hours not
only mean more time lost through
absence from the job, but bring
about a marked rise in both the
number and frequency of accidental
injuries.
