Dizzy Gillespie
Has Troubles In
South America

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sept.
18.-The sensational tour of Dizzy
Gillespie is being marred here by
racial prejudice. Though the ag-
gregation is being considered the
most successful entertainment ever
offered to the Argentines, still it
was most embarrassing to have
prejudice rear it's ugly head on
the State Department sponsored
project.
A hotel management with a
large American clientele tried to
prevent the crew from staying with
it.
But the press jumped right in
rapping the hotel and thereby fol
lowed the Argentine Labor Min
istry which made it clear that pref
udice was foreign in its principles
Local musicians unions tried to
keep Dizzy, too, from bringing out
the boys. Here again the Argen-
tine Labor Minister had to come
into the act and let the crew
through.

the Soil Bank program, Mr.. Monk
is making plans to expand his OPP
erations.
Among other things, he hopes
to buy some additional equipment,
including a tree planting machine.
With this tractor attachment, he
says he and one Of his sons can
set out 10000 to $4,000 seedlings
almost every day, throughout the
planting season. His fee is around
five dollars per thousand.
Mr.. Monk got started in tree
planting in 1943 when, on the ad-
vice of Soil Conservation Service
technician, he set out 5000 pine
seedlings in low area of his farm
which was not suited to growing
cotton or corn. The seedlings
turned out so we'll during the next
year or two that neighbors began
asking him to. set trees out for
them.
Soon business got so good that
he needed tree-planting machinery.
His Soil Conservation District
which encourages farmers in the
section to plant more trees, lent
him some of its machinery. Mr.
Monk estimates that he has set cut
more than 100000 trees in the
past 10 years. About 10000 OF
these have been on his own farm
In addition to growing trees as
an important cash crop on his
own farm, and planting them fol
others at custom rate, Mr.. Monl
also raises cotton, corn, hay, castor
beans, watermelons, peaches, cattle
and hogs. These provide him ant
Mrs. Monk and their nine children
with a gross income of close tt
| $4,000 a year.
And like his tree planting, hi
farming is kind of demonstration
for his neighbors, too, says hi
! county agent, Wesley R. Dansb!
who, along with the Soil Conserva
ton Service people, has helped hin
build terraces on the slopes and es
tablish contour cultivation for hi
cotton and corn to stop erosion.
Also Mr.. Monk has two stool
ponds and improved pastures TO
his cattle and hogs. 81 couldn'

The versatile Dorothy "froze"

After the lean year of discour-

suggested she consider a career as
a singer. Reluctant to give up her
acting, but sensitive to the years
of disappointment behind her,
Dorothy decided to try it. She
studied voice, concentrated on the
records of top singing stars, spent
hours mastering movement, and
gradually transformed herself in
to Dorothy cambridge, vocalist.
Even before she was ready to
tackle the competitive night club

to replace a vocalist with Dezi

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

INTERRUPTION: Bernard
Baruch hates to lose at poker
his favorite game. He was once
called in by President Coolidge
to help straighten out the Ital-
ian debt question. After the
White House meeting Baruch
went to Florida.
He got into a poker game with
two cronies in his hotel room
and was soon in the hole fol-
$4,000. One of his friends left
the room for several minutes
When he returned the other
friend stepped out. Later there
was a knock at the door and q
bellboy entered.
"Mr. Baruch will you come to
the managers Office, please" he
said. There's a telephone call
for you from the President Of
the United States"
Baruch suspected that this was
a gag cooked up by his friend;
to break up the game while he
was behind.
Tell the President can't be
bothered" he snapped, refusing
to bulge from the table.
A couple of minutes later the
bellboy entered again.
Mr.. Mellon, the Secretary OF
the Treasury. is calling from
Washington"

Baruch. intent on filling a flush.
And don't bother us any more"
The poker continued without
further interruption. BY the time
the game broke up Baruch had
recouped his losses. The follow
ing morning he received an ur-
gent summons from the hotel

susceptible to rheumatism in
the big toe or knee" These may
have been equity attacks.
In spite of the exceptions
dietary indiscretions often light
up the process. Injury to a
Joint, infection or emotional dis
tress will often precipitate an
attack in those who are pre-
disposed to it.
Walking Blamed
I recall a patient who used to
blame his spring episodes of govt
on the season of the year. At
one visit we decided that he
forego golf; that perhaps walk
ing was the prime instigator. 1t
worked. He has never had an
attack in the spring since.
Somehow, playing during the
hot summer days Gin modera-
tom did not cause attacks.
Therefore, check up on your
walking. If there is a relation
ship between much leg exercise
and the govt, you will know how
to keep down the number and
of attacks.
One patient told me he in
variably had an attack a few
weeks after taking vitamin B1
as a. tonic. Other drugs that
sometimes start attacks of govt
are liver extract. insulin, ergota-
mine tartrate FUSED for migraine
headaches and vitamin BIZ.
Proper diagnosis is. Of course,
most important. Until recently
we were not as govt conscious
as we are now. Many a case
was treated Intellectually as
arthritis or rheumatism"
Now we are aware that you
can have govt in any joint; it
is not limited to the large toe.

Your boss and the Social Sc
curity people. being human, make
mistakes-mistakes which if moi
corrected could lower your So
cial Security payments when you
retire.
Suppose, for example. your
boss in reporting your wages to
Social Security makes an error
which results in the report show
ing you made $500 less than you
actually made. Unless it's caught
at Social Security headquarters,
your wage record for the year
will be credited with less than
you made.
Since your future Social Sc
curity payments are based on
what this wage record shows, the
error will be reflected in your
future benefits.
Or. suppose the Social Secu-
rity people somehow get your
Social Security number fouled
up-two of the numbers are re-
verSed or one of them copied in
correctly. Then it's possible that
your wages might be added to
the record of the person with
the number which was incor-
rectly listed for you.
AS in the case where your
boss made the $500 mistake, your
Social Security wage record
would be wrong and the error
will be reflected in your future
payments.
Simple Remedy Available
To protect yourself against
such errors. the Social Security
Administration has a simple way
for you to catch them. But,
generally you must do so within
three years after they're made,
since there's a time limit for
correcting official records.
Since most errors will result in
your not being credited with the
correct wages in your record at
Social Security headquarters,
that's the place to look for them.
To do this, the Social Security

doesn't have it in her to put in
the work required. My wife is
driving Marie to satisfy her own
ambitions and they are both
headed for heartbreak.
Mrs. ]. R.-The truth is my
husband does not want Marie tc
get ahead of Kay. Marie is pref
tier and has more personality
than Kay and my husband has
always tried to hold Marie back
so she will not outsnine Kay toe
much. Kay is a greater favorite
of his.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Mrs. j. r. is probably being
unfair when she accuses her hus-
band Of playing favorites with
his daughters. He is probably
Irightfully concerned about the
welfare Of his talented and less
flashy daughter.
On the other hand, ]. r. is
wrong to impose limits on the
older girl for the sake of the
younger. He agrees that Marie
has more talent and a famous
teacher apparently agrees with
Mrs j. r. that the girls voice
lis potential opera material A
famous teacher would not waste
time on the girl if she did not
have possibilities.
Perhaps Marie has shown little
capacity for work up until now
but people rise to situations and
the knowledge that she has a
natural gift of high quality might
give the girl a new impetus. 1t is
only fair to allow her at least the
opportunity to find the fullest
expression Of which she is
capable.
The husband and wife should
not assume that Kay would be
Jealous of her sister or that she
will be outShone in every way
If the family relations are happy
and loving, Kay might well take
great pride in her sister and al
the same time prefer her own
less spectacular role in life.
If she gets a great deal of love
and attention from both her
parents and If they try to help
her with her own career as much
as they do Marie, there is no
reason why Kay won't be happy
in a more modest life-in which
she might find even greater full
.f1llment and happiness than
Marie in an impressive career.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
govt. My doctor made the
diagnosis the other day. I can't
understand where I got it, why
got it or what really to do for
it. He tried to answer a few of
my questions but it still remains
a big question mark for me.
I would appreciate your tell
ing me a few things. Does diet
matter? I've talked to some peo-
pie who have had govt for years.
One says he can drink alcohol
and not get an attack for
months. And another says that
no matter how careful he is he
gets half dozen attacks a year.
This is confusing. It makes one
wonder if it is really necessary
to take good care of oneself to
prevent attacks. I will greatly
appreciate any comments that
may help straighten out some
of us govt sufferers. Sincerely
yours, Mr.. j. j.
Still Much to Learn
Answer: Govt has been a mys-
terry for hundreds of years. We
doctors know something of
faulty uric acid metabolism,
which is part of the condition.
But we admit there is still much
to learn about the cause of the
disease and about what triggers
an acute attack.
We used to say that "high
living" brought on attacks in
susceptible persons = overdrink-
ing, overeating. This is not the
rule. have seen many patients
In acute pain moan: II can't
understand it. I've taken excel
lent care of myself. haven't
touched a drop of liquor, tea,
cocoa or coffee. I haven't over
eaten or taken the foods that
are supposed to be bad. Why
should l have an attack"
OF these things we are certain:
There is a family incidence of
the disease. You will undoubt-
edly find that your father or
