Of IL million constituents in

the biggest district in the
Nation which is. naturally,
located in Texas-Houston TO
be exact. Not until this year
did Texas get around to add
ing the second Congressman,
which has been due Houston,
Marie Ball, and her boss,
Representative Albert Thomas
since 1850. The average dis
trict has 350,000 persons.
Back in 1885
Mrs. Ball, a tall, gray
haired woman with straight
forward friendly eyes and a
helpful hand. came here in
1885 when Mr.. Thomas was
first elected to Congress.
In those days. there were
$4,000 constituents who
wrote about $50 letters each
day, mostly asking for jobs,
because the country was still
in the wake of the depres-
sion. Then came the war.
Jobs were plentiful. The ma
jor problem was helping es-
cort men in and out of the
service. Today the mail bags
bring about 800 letters daily
and. aside from routine re-
quests, the major problem is
again jobs-for men and
women over As years Of age.
This is a very serious
problem and a growing one.
It's something that the Con-
gress will have to face. I'm
glad the boss has taken an
active interest in it," she
said.
Mrs. Ball has had a front
row seat on politics as long
as she can remember. She
grew up in Springfield. Ill,
where her family. the Dorseys,
were active in Democratic
politics. She worked for the
State Senate, and then for
Governor Dunn which shows
how long ago that was" she
recalled.
This, plus her % years on
Capitol Hill, have made her
a fighting Democrat"
One Ambition
Its a worn-out phrase to
say it's the party of the
people but when you see
what it's done, like social
security and old age assist
ance. you know it's true" she
said.

for retirement is to 80 TO the
1860 Democratic convention.
1t win be her first,
Like many other loyal vet
eran Capitol Hill secretaries.
Mrs. Balls close friendship
with her boss and his wife
doesn't end with ONCE hours.
She walked the hospital
corridors with him when his
two daughters, Ann and Lera
Thomas, were born.
But Mrs. Ball is the FIRST
to point out that she could
never have reared a young
daughter, Peggy (now mar
ried and living In New York
with three young sons) II the
Thomases had not been my
constant aid and comfort"
Today she lives in College
Park, Nd, with her two sis
tiers, Misses Edna and Fran
ces Dorsey, and soon plans to
have a n1ortgage-burning
party at her home.
II think I'd like to forget
about headlines now. Then,
take up golf and bridge. I
haven't played them for
years. Maybe I'll take a
course at a university, or 60
into some small business
that's not too timetaking, "
she said.
In retirement she can look
back with pride on the words
Of praise from her boss, who
from his current trip to Rus
sia. wrote this reporter: LOS
ing Marie Ball is like losing
my right arm. She's the best
congressional secretary in
Washington, bar none. She's
worked hard for the people
of Houston and Harris
County. The hours have been
long and the holidays few.
I'll always be grateful for her
loyalty and devotion. She de-
serves a chance to enjoy a
quiet peaceful life. She's
certainly earned IT,"
Looking back over the %
years, Mrs. Ball was asked If
being a congressional secre-
tary is a good life for a girl.
Her reply?
TITS a very fulfilling life If

FAMOUS FABLES
BY e. E. EDGAR

REPUTATION: Sh ortly
after her marriage, Mrs.
George Bernard Shaw, a
woman of wealth, offered
French Sculptor Auguste
Robin a handsome commits
sion to make a bust of her
playwright husband. This, she
felt, would insure G. B. SIS
immortality.
Rodin, who was world
famous, was at first reluctant,
as he had never heard Of
Shaw, whose reputation was
still limited to the British
Isles. But he finally yielded.
If Shaw'S reputation was
limited, his ego was not.
When he saw the completed
bust, he was far from happy
with it. Mrs. Shaw, who was
quite satisfied, tried to con-
sole him.
Long after we are gone"
she said. this bust will still
be remembered"
II suppose So" he agreed.
Then he added with char
acteristic modesty: "If for
nothing else, Rodin will be
remembered for making a
bust of George Bernard
Shaw"

STEINCROHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
10-year-old son has rheu-
matte fever. The hardest
part of the treatment is
keeping him quiet in bed. I
understand this is important
to prevent heart complica-
tions. It's quite a job. l used
to think it was difficult to
convince my husband to rest
when he got a virus. That
was only a matter of a few
days in bed. Keeping a
youngster in bed for weeks
is a real problem. Is it actu-
ally necessary to have so
much rest?-MRS. c. c.
/ remember when we used
to keep rheumatic fever pa
tients quiet for S-12 weeks.
But that was before the anti
biOtics. Doctors are now
tempering bed sentences. For
example, here is a report
from two studies presented
at a recent meeting in At
lantic City in the American
Pediatric Society. DIR. Wal
lace w. McCrOry and his as
SOciates of Philadelphia, and
DIR. Matthew L. Gibson and
DIR. G. Robert Fisher, of DEN
yer, questioned the traditional
concept that prolonged rest
In bed prevented organic
damage in children who had
either rheumatic fever or
acute nephritiS.
According to a report in
Medical News they found
that "early ambuIatiOn not
only had no adverse effect
on prOgnOsis for children in
either of these two investi-
cations, but actually reduced
psychological and physical
problems associated with pro-
lOnged invalidism."
No doubt your boys doctor
is aware of these newer con-
cepts Of handling rheumatic
fever. Probably he will "sus-
pend bed sentence" sooner,
than you think.

completely and permanently
closed to automobile traffic.
So far as We know. this
sort Of thing has not yet
evolved in any United States
city-put the chances seem
good that it will eventually.
All one needs to do is take
stock Of the growing auto
population in order to fore
cast much tighter restric-
tons on auto uses in the
years ahead. At the end Of
World War II there were 81
million autos, trucks and
buses on American highways;
today there are 68 million or
so-an increase of around
100 per cent in Is years.
Auto Ban Likely
If this trend continues 1t
seems unlikely that any
amount of decentralization
or new highway development
will be able to keep pace-So
we can in all probability eX-
pect to see new laws and
municipal ordinances ban
ming autos entirely from
large parts of densely pop
ulated areas.
What this may mean,
traff1cwise, must be left to
the transportation experts.
Very likely though it is going
to mean higher taxes for new
types of rapid transit, over
head monorail systems, and
so on.
Who knows? 1t may also
mean we are all just going to

When you drive around the

gradually become aware Of
the increasing complexities
of traff1c regulations.
If. for example, you under
take to negotiate the new
tunnel under Baltimore Har-
bora tremendous boon to
through traffic in that area,
by the way-you will notice
signs indicating both fast"
and "slow" lanes.
Not long ago the State
Highway Department Of Vir-

granted at the last session Of

mated 213 miles Of State
highway as minimum speed
areas. On those roads you
don't travel at less than 40
miles per hour unless you
want to get pinched.
Popular Technique
This is a traffic technique
which has been coming into
more popular usage for some
time-especially on express
ways or major urban arteries
of the big cities like New
York, Los Angeles and Chi

More significant for the

THE COUNCILS VIEW
We're on Eds side.

We're on Eds side.
1t sounds to us as though
"togetherness" has gone
much too far in this family.
Family life is great, GER
tainly. But there's a time
and place for it.
When a man and woman
have raised a family of four,
they have undoubtedly mad a
good, fat portion Of family
life. Too much of a good
thing can make anyone
grouchy and sour, and we
don't blame Ed for wanting
to duck out on his baby sit
ting responsibilities.
Mary does not seem to
realize that her husband is
paying her a delightful COM
pliment in saying that after
several decades of married
life he would like to spend
more time alone with her.
Edward appears to be
ready and eager for a new
phase of life, but in our opin-
ion. Mary is afraid of the fu-
ture. She clings to the past
in which she was the queen
of a flourishing domain. She
fears the gradual loss of pow
er, which is connected with
growing older. She would be
happier if she could accept
this new phase. 1t has many
