Of This and That
By BETHA DECREE

The average person who ha. had no medical training doubtless usually thinks, as we did, that all medical journals must be dry, dull reading. TO the layman, we sup, pose, most of them are just that But we have been reading some of the most fascinating arti cles in copies of the MD Medidal Newsmagazine that we have found Tor some time w. One article we found extremely absorbing was about reptiles and their place in our lives. Reptiles are creatures that we have never been able to view with abhorrence as do many people In fact, we have always thought of them as beautiful and graceful in motion Something to be treated with reasonable eau ton but not to be despised. We were happy, therefore, when we read the final summing up of the story, and we quote, Forever Shamed as the initiator of mans paradisiac downfall, the snake is more useful to mans well-being than it is usually given credit for, Then we found an arti- cle on Prehistoric and Magic medi- cine that kept us engrossed throughout the lunch hour so much so that we forgot to eat! The pages were illustrated with photographs of cave paintings thousands of years old, amulets. artifactS, fetishes and surgical in- strumentS. Some were crudely fashioned, but others were deli cately made and carved. When we had finished boring over the pages, we realized that, despite the old strong belief in good and evil spirits and in magic, the prac- flce of medicine is age-old, and began long before the time of records. Some of the methods used are still being used in a modified form, altho with far less pain to the patients. We are grate- ful to the friend who gave us the magazines, and will welcome ad- altiOnal issues!

 Last week we commented on the Inter and rubbish on the lot next 10 the Kodiak Cleaners. Evidently we were not explicit enough in naming the location, as Don Wolf. the owner of the Kodiak Cleaners 7eiis us that several people have chaffed him about his unsightly lot For the information of those persons, there was no intent of casting aspersions on the property of the Kodiak Cleaners. The area 7n question is the nearby lot where, as we have been informed a theatre formerly stood. Anyone who has even fair vision can see that the parking space adjacent to the Kodiak Cleaners is neatly kept. and we sincerely hope that Dn no longer need be subjected to any derision. We offer him our apology for being the cause of the remarks But we still maintain that the place in question is an eyesore that should not be seen in the heart of town, and we shall offer nc apology for our thought on the matter.
