Mr.. Cross had q better idea
than most In returning to his
old home town with his PEN
sion. Two nephews, both In
their early 40s, were the last
of the family name left In
the town. They owned and
operated a feed and grain
store with a considerable
sideline Of farm tools and
supplies.
Mr.. Cross negotiated to buy
a 20 per cent interest in the
business. leaving control to
the nephews but providing
him an excuse to be in town
every day and a reason for
living. The price was not high
and Mr.. Cross managed 1t out

nephews was that he could

sons and let them 90 play in

Somehow we are wasting

Of opportunities In occupa-
tons which require some
training but no scholastic
achievement.
One way education has
failed in this area Is by
treating all slow learners
alike. More attention must be
paid TO the development Of
each individual child.
Tests and classroom expe-
riences may indicate all stu
dents in a slow learner group
are in the same category, but
this is only the surface APP
pearance. Occasionally. even
an Edison is classified as a
slow learner in school.
Differences in Causes
Basic causes Of slow learn

One may be a slow learner
because. unfortunately. he
lacks mental capacity and
ability. He may be q slow

Dear DR.. steincrohn: I
really have q medical prob
lem that needs Q solutionl
AS yet I haven't found an
answer. I hope you may be
able to throw some light on
the situation. I've had ul-
cerative colitis about eight
years. My resistance is poor.
I'm unable to do my house,
work or care for my son.
I've been to many good doc
tors and have been referred

ANYONE WHO has suf-
fered from chronic ulcera-
tive colitis will understand
why Mrs. H. Is 30 despond-
ent and discouraged. Not
knowing exactly what treat
ment you have had over the
years. I can't give you any
specific advice.
In q general way, how
ever, the patient whose
lower bowel Is liberated
should have the following
care: A trial of at least q
few weeks of bed rest. The
diet should be liberal and on
the bland side. He should
have encouragement and
sedatives as needed. Multi
vitamins daily are necessary.
II greatly dehydrated, he
should have fluids injected
by vein-and also transfu-
sions Of blood II necessary.
There are also medicines for
abdominal cramps.
II improvement Is not as
great as expected the doctor
will probably prescribe a
course (for weeks or months)
of adrenocortical medicines.
For example. large doses Of
ACTH are often effectual.
Now, If the patient does
not respond to this type Of
treatment and continues
to 60 downhill he may have
to undergo "colectomy,"
which is an operation for
removal Of part Of the large
bowel.
However. before even con-
sidering such surgery, I'd
suggest that the patients en-
tire case history be reviewed
by well-known specialists in
the field. Having such an
operation isn't as simple as
having an appendectomy.
I wish I might give your
morale more of q boost than
I have in reviewing the treat
ment of Lucrative colitis,
Mrs. H., but keep trying.
Many apparently hopeless
cases have at last shown
long-sought improvement.

Two vaccines
For Measles
e. =.
Are Licensed
BY PAUL HOPE
star Staff writer

New vaccines which are ex-
pected to eradicate childhood
measles in the United States
within q few years have been
licensed by the Secretary Of
Health. Education and Welfare.
Licensing of two types of
vaccines was announced yester-
day by Secretary Celebrezze.
The action permits distribution
OF the vaccine by doctors as
supplies become available.
"A limited supply Of Give"
vaccine viii be available inn
fnediately and q KILLED" vari-
ETY. within q few weeks. Both
will be be generally available
within several months, Mr..
Celebrezze said.
At q press conference yester-
day, Surgeon General Luther
L. Terry said the vaccines will
be manufactured by two firms
and distributed through regu-
lar commercial channels. He
said there are no plans for q
Federal distribution program
in this country, but the Agency
for International Development
has set aside 100000 for adj
ministering the vaccines in q
dozen African nations.
Sometimes Fatal
The vaccines are for protec-
ton against the two-week
childhood type Of measles, not
German measles.
DR.. Terry said more than 4
million children in the United
States get the two-week
measles every year and that
more than 400 die from it. The
death rate in many foreign
countries is much higher.
Measles sometimes cause COM
plications which may lead to
deafness. mental Gripping and
pneumonia.
Secretary Celebrezze hailed
development of the vaccines as
Q great achievement"
Vaccination is recommended
for children beginning st 8
months old. Those younger
than that frequently fail to
respond to immunization.
Reaction Tempered
Vaccination with the live vac
cine requires one shot which
may or may not be admins
tered with an accompanying
shot Of gamma globulin.
The killed vaccine requires
three shots but has less dis
comforting reaction, DR.. Terry
said.
The live vaccine is not rec
commended for persons who are
pregnant, have leukema, are
receiving medical treatment
which reduces resistance, have
fevers, have taken gamma
globulin within the preceding
8 weeks or who are sensitive
to eggs. The live vaccine is
grown in egg embryos and
therefore may produce a re-
action In persons allergic to
eggs.
Development Of the vaccines
stems from he work of Nobel
Prize winner DR.. John Enders
Of Harvard University and an
associate, DR.. Thomas PEBBLES,
who isolated a strain Of the
measles virus In 1854.
The live vaccine viii be
marketed by Merck, Sharp and
Dome Of Philadelphia and the
killed type by Chas. Pfizer &
Co. Of New York and Indiana.
