TVPeeves

CCVSS
I was much interested in
the letter from B. S. Berco-
Wei, in The Star, November
IL. 1859, about the TV COM
mercials. 1t is certainly high
time that someone was let
ting it be known how dis
gustingly silly many of these
blurbs are. The headache
tablet-that three out of
four" doctors recommend is
one of my pet peeves. 1t is
said that "a medical survey"
shows, etc. 1 wonder who
made this medical survey,
and how extensive it was?
In my more than fourscore
years I have had many doc
tors, but I have never yet
had a doctor that recon-
mended this particular medi-
cine. The only time I have
had a headache in the last
so years is when I am listen
ing to an interesting TV pro-
gram and it is interrupted
by one of these sledge ham
mer commercials. I either
leave the room or turn off the
TV set.
But this is not the only
disgusting commercial. Take
the case of the new deter
gents, which are so easy on
your hands. Over the years
I have used nearly all of
these detergents and about
all the differences I can tell
in them is that some make
such a heavy suds that it
is almost impossible to get
it out Of the washing ma
chine.
AS for the cigarettes, I
don't smoke, but if I did
I think I would quit. It is
claimed that it has not been
proven that cigarettes cause
lung cancer. Well, many men
have been hung on less evil
dence. Why not play safe?
Now I have another
"peeve." 1t is the canned
laughter and applause" on
nearly all programs. FIRE.
quently this applause starts
before the listener has had
a chance to hear the joke!
Also on musical programs,
why doesn't the audience
wait until the music ends
before starting to applaud?
We would like to hear the
last few notes,

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
How Tastes Are Identified
By THOMAS R. HENRY

the same basic pattern. but
probably much more COM
plex.
Memories can be trapped"
in half the brain.
Conceivably each side Of
the cerebral cortex, the roof
of the brain which is the
organ of consciousness, may
be made to remember a
different past.
This has been demonstrate
ed, so far as visual memories
are concerned, by the British
neurologist, DR.. R. c. Myers,
and may have deep implica-
tons, DR.. Ward c. Halstead
of the University of Chicago
has reported to the Office of
Naval Research.
First nerve fibers from the
eyes to each side of the brain
were separated at the So
called optic chiasma, so that
those from each eye went
only to one hemisphere of
the cortex. This, however,
made no difference in visual
memory. Things seen with
only one eye, the other being
blindfolded, were "remem-
bered" by the whole cortex.
Results, however, were
quite different when the So
called corpus callosum, the
bridge of nerve fibers which
Joins the base Of the two
hemispheres, was severed.
Then each side remembered
only what its own eye had
seen.
Experiments With Cats
The experiments were per-
formed with cats. With one
eye blindfolded somewhat
complex responses to various
visual stimuli were taught.
Then the blindfold was
shifted and the other eye ex-
posed to a quite different sue
ceSsion of sights.
Thenceforth a cat with one
eye covered would not re-
spond to stimuli to which it
had not been conditioned,
but to which the other eye
had been conditioned.
1T is possible" DR.. Hal
stead reports, that Myers
has opened the door to a
formidable assault on the
memory problem. He has
demonstrated that it is pos
Slble to trap significant
memory traces in one hemi-
sphere"
The next step now possible,
he says, will be to determine
whether there are any spe-
clflc localities in the two
hemispheres where memo
ries are stored. This may be
done by removing bit by bit
the cortex Of one hemisphere
to finish if there is any cell
area removal of which will
elm in ate the memories
trapped in that side of the
brain.
This was impossible when
things seen with either eve
evoked the same memory re-
Sponse on both sides.

Bad Example?

In my opinion it is de-
grading for Vice President
Nixon and Senator Kennedy
to deliberately defy and be-
little the cranberry warning
of the Department of Health
Education and Welfare.
The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare is
doing a Job which it is be-
ing paid to do by the Govern
ment. Therefore, it does seem
to me that it should be the
duty of men such as Mr..
Nixon and Mr.. Kennedy, as
leaders of our country, to
uphold Mr.. Flemming and his
departments of research in
the protection of our National
safety.
A Star Patriot.
The boyish public demon
stration of Vice President
Nixon, and Senator Kennedy,
eating supposedly contamin-
ated cranberries, makes one
wonder if either one of them
is mature enough for the Of
fee they seek.
I believe the voters should
give this some thought.

Huge Program Is Faced
By World Refugee Year

900 are human remainders of World
War II.
They are being assisted by many
governmental and private organiza-
tions, all of whom are related in
one way or another to the work
conducted by the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees.
The office conducted by this COM
missioner has nothing whatever to
do with the Arab refugees, whose
relief is under the jurisdiction of
another UN office, the United Ma
tions Relief and Works Agency for
Palestine Refugees in the Near
East.
Jews interested in philanthropy
have often heard in the course of
campaigns conducted by the United
Jewish Appeal that there are still
80 900 "hard core" cases which
must be cared for through Jewish
overseas aid. The U.N. High Com
missioner has reported that about
3S percent of the non-Hungarian
refugees for whom he must care
are physically, socially, or econom-
ically "incapacitated." That means
that there are more than 81, 900 ref
ugees in that ''incapacitated" cate
CORY.
These, then, are the people-in
addition to the Arab refugees
whom World Refugee Year will try
to bring back into the settled, hui
man family. It will be a big order.
Governments, voluntary agencies,
and the general public throughout
the world will be asked to contrib
ute funds for this purpose, as for
mally phrased in the UN resolu-
| ton:
ITO encourage additional oppor--
tunities for permanent refugee so
lutionS through voluntary repatria-
ton, resettlement or integration, on

'WhoIsJ JeW?'
Plan Offered

JERUSALEM (JTA) - Proposals
aimed at bridging sharp differences
between Orthodox and secular
groups in Israel in the "who is a
Jew?" controversy as it is related
to identity cards for Israeli citizens,
were formulated by Rabbi Jacob
Moshe Toledano, minister for re-
hgious affairs, and were given good
chances of success.
The identity card would not nee
essarily be the exclusive criterion
when the question of the bearers S
religion might be raised in the re-
Hgious courts and the Chief Rabbi
nate would have the authority to
call for additional proof in cases OF
doubt.
The Toledano proposals provided
that children of mixed marriages
should be registered on the moth
er's identity card. Adults who de-
clared in good faith that their par
ents were Jewish would be regis
tered as Jews.
Hitherto, minors were entered on
their fathers identity card. Ac-
cording to the Jewish religion, the
child is assumed to be of the re-
ligion of the mother. Adults were
formerly required, in obtaining
Identity cards, to state only that
they were Jewish.
