Lodge 5 Crew Starts
Eyeing jo|,nstown Top

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - The
January 31st match play saw
the Lodge 5 team threatening
to take the top spot as they
surged forward with a 80
victory over the Pavich A.
musement lads.
Captain Vic Farkas, Sr., al
ways a terror when duckpin-
ners meet, took the individual
three game high honors with
a 201-55O card.
Teammate John Rozich hit
for sos, while Frank Stojko-
vich and Andrew Gojmerac
rolled 474 and 473, respective
ly. The winners compiled an
8s8-2459 showing, healthy
scores in any competition.
Meanwhile the st. Ro-
chus Church team had close
shedding as they edged the
Baretincic Morticians.
Chuck Kolar supplied the
bombardment to the tune of
186-481, with Cecilia Jakovic
close behind with a 167-48O as
the Churchmen retained their
three game lead in the st.
Rochus Dux League.
Frank Kolar of the Morris
shot a seasonal high 220 as
part of a 400 set and Captain
Cominskey a 1854, but all
this failed to bring victory to
the Baretincics.

Although I received an in

RecitAls In Russia
Our arrival in New York,
blessed by the most wonderful
weather, was naturally excit-
ing.
The yacht was overrun by a
crowd Of reporters who bom-
barded me and my wife, our
captain and crew, with ques-
tions about our long trip and
many experiences.
And so ended our 15-month
jaunt around the world.
This long journey across
the seas and continents
was followed by another
concert tour of Europe. In
tho 1855 season I gave
16 recitals in Soviet Russia,
appearing in Moscow, Len
ingrad, Kiev, Kharkov, and
Odessa.
At the end Of the spring Of
1886 my wife and I, feeling
the need for rest, solitude and
untouched nature, left in a
beautiful yacht for Alaskan
waters.

innumerable inlets we saw Sc

For whole days we didn't

Which was not surprising,
for in 1886 Alaska, more
than twice the size Of
France, had less than
100000 inhabitants.
This whole territory, full OF
natural wealth (America to
date has taken out IN gold

from Russia by the us. in
1867 for a mere 81, 200, 600!

four years. Fourteen inde-
pendent research teams,
studying the drug for six
years, also reported it had
proven effective and, just
as important, safe to take.
AS was expected, his first
report Of results provoked en-
thusiastic comment at the
1857 session of the Interna-
tional Congress on Rheumatic
Diseases. Medical in t e r e 8 t
was further aroused when DR..
Bagnall's report was publish
ed in the Canadian Medical
Journal. .ay /
Question of Aspirin '4'e'S
Not a single patient in DR..
Bagnall's study experienced a
dangerous side effect from
using Aralen.
Since some patients have
been on treatment four years,
this is significant because
freedom from severe reac-
tions is an essential of any
drug administered for pro-
longed periods.
The m e dical profession
realizes that severe reactions
are a great drawback of cort-
isone and related hormones.
| For similar reasons, doc
tors have found that phe-
nylbutazone and gold salts
are not the answer. Only
aspirin is generally agreed
to be safe as daily medica-
, ton for most arthritis VIC
tins.
| Major improvement gener-
ally did not start before six
months or more of daily use
of Aralen. 1t is this slow re-
sponse to the drug which
most intrigues Dr. Bagnall
and other authorities 2''5 :.
The Canadian specialist
comments that Aralen, seems
to act on the the disease ei,itSelt

"Aralen's action appears
more like slow naturalization
Of the disease-producing me-
chanism ITSELF" DR.. Bagnall
observes.
If his theory is correct,
medical research may be on
the verge of learning the, eau
ses of rheumatoid arthritis.
Little more is known at pre-
sent than that it is a disease

Solving this riddle, might
