PetiOle Rot Of
African ViOlets

Do YOU seem to lose large
share of the leaves on your Afri-
can violet plants? Don't explain 1t
away as a disease or insect pro-
blem that is, not till you've first
checked to see if it's a typical
growing problem, says Ed Ralph'
Associate county agent.
University of Delaware specia-
lists say that often the problem
turns out TO be what they term
"petiole rot" AS suggested, this
isn't caused by bacteria, fungus or
virus organisms. It's caused by the
leaf support, the petiole, coming Il
contact with the rim of your clay
flower pot.
Such pots absorb and move salts
from the soil, fertilizer and water.
In such cases they become con-
centrated at the rim where they do
damage to the leaves and leaf
stems The petiole is injured, the
leaf then turns pale and dies, and
often collapses.
To counteract this condition of
salt concentration some folks dip
the rim of the pot in canning wax
before they pot their plants. This
is fine. says Mr.. Ralph, but another
simple method is available. All you
need-do is cover the rim with a
continuous strip of aluminium foil.
This keeps the petioles and leaves
from the salts.

LOOKING AHEAD
by JOHN BARBOUR
Associated Press Science Writer

ASsOcfdttu GTess Sclence w TlfeT
NEW YORK (AP)-By the year
2,000-and that's only 40 years a.
way-these may be the medical
facts of life:
On Monday night you'll take a pill
and go to bed. You'll sleep until
Wednesday morning. Then you'll
wake up refreshed and be able to
go on nonstop until bedtime next
Monday night.
You'll have almost forgotten
what the common cold is like.
If you are ill, your doctor will
give you a tiny radio and meas
uring device TO tape to your chest.
Then he'll watch you as you go
through a busy week, alert to
changes in your condition.
You'll know from the sec. month
of pregnancy the sex of your ex-
pected child.
Furthermore, If you're planning
a baby. you may be able to do
something about getting the sort
of child you want.
These are some of the predic-
tions of DIR. Austin Smith, presi-
dent of the Pharmaceutical Manu-
facturers Assn. based on the dir
ection of today's medical and
pharmaceutical research.
Where Wonder Drugs!
Undreamed of drugs are going
to come from the sea, says DR..
Smith. Still others will come from
the screening of herbs, barks and
waters used by African witch Doc
tors. Man will Investigate every
possible healing balm the earth
has to offer.
Even electronics will play a big
part in everyday medicine of the
future.
The heart disease victim, for in
stance, will work, sleep, play with
a silent radio GUARDIAN small
black box, perhaps to his
chest.
II will read his heart activity,
his pulse, perhaps his blood
pressure, reporting by radio to the
doctors office. There computing
center will keep constant watch.
When warning signs show the
doctor is notified. Then he can
send a return signal through his
radio station-an impulse that will
trigger the release of measured
prescription dose of a drug into
the bloodstream of the heart pa
tient-averting a possible stroke
or heart attack.
Already a device that can moni-
tor the heartbeat of a patient and
broadcast reports has been an
nonnced.
Conquer Cancer
BY the year 1000, today's fear
some medical enemies-cancer, ,po-
Ito, heart disease-will be as un-
exciting as diphtheria, typhoid fe-
yer and small pos are now, DR..
Smith predicts.
Surgery and mechanics will
team up for still greater wonders.
If your lungs or your heart are
badly damaged, perhaps in an ac-
cident, doctors may be able to
save your life with artificial or
gans fitted into your body.
Severe pain will be a thing or
the past, as new drugs are de-
veloped to combat pa n-and
hence reduce much of the anxiety
that comes with disease.
Bucks A Dud
To keep medical and dru g
weapons up to date, SO years from
now pharmaceutical firms will
have electrohie computers contin-
ually digesting new data on the
changing characteristics of viruses
that prey on man. This system
can then signal changes that can
be made in stores of medicines all
over the nation.
Isn't all of this putting DIR.
Smith out on a limb?

my wife a very generous al
lowance, but she never saved
a dime. She said she wasn't
going to save her money for
my next wife to spend. It
took me is years to figure
out an answer. Now I tell
her that I am not going to
save any money either-let
her next husband support
her.
Consequently, we have
nothing put away for our fu-
ture and no economic secur-
ity. Don't you think a
woman should save some
thing, or is that Just a mans
duty?

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
It's Up to Your Own Doctor
BY Or. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

I often hear patients say:
II went to one doctor who :
wrote a lot Of prescriptions.
I consulted another for the
same condition and all he
gave me was advice. He said
I didn't need m e dicineS.
Where does that leave me?
I can see how the layman
would be confused by such
circumstances. But remem-
ber there are many ways to
combat disease. The method
will depend on the expert
ence of the individual doc
tor.
For example, here is a
woman suffering from hot
flashes and nervousness due
to the menopause. Her doc
tor says: II don't believe in
prescribing hormones. You
will be better off fighting
this out yourself" And
another says: There's no
need to suffer unnecessarily
when a daily hormone pill
will relieve you."
