Coach Young keeps a careful check on the work of every girl
on the Eureka teim. "We do not let them know how many
points they mike as individuals, hut wc keep a careful record
ourselves,” Young says. He is pic' ired here with some Eureka
team members suited up and ready, just in case the girls on the

Two more airminded men in
Stillwater are ready to say a good
word for traveling the airlanes af-
ter returning from Manhattan,
Kan., Monday by air. C. A. Melton,
local real estate agent, made the
trip with A Guthrie and Joe Jar-
vis to see the Aggies wrestle and
defeat the Kansas aggregation.
Melton had done little flying in
his lifetime, but he always has
I been a sport fan, and w as willing
to lay aside his aversion to flying
for a chance to see the wrestlers
tangle. The trip to Manhattan was
a routine affair.
I Sunday morning when the trio
started to return, they found the
ceiling too low to venture away
■ from the Kansas port. They stayed
in Manhattan Sunday and took off
early Monday morning. The'’ made
the trip hack in 1 hour and 20 min-
utes, after a thrilling takeoff. Il
takes six hours of hard driving to
make the trip on the highway.
Raymond Swartz, assistant
i wrestling coach for the Aggies,
was persuaded to return with the
trio in the Stinson cabin ship. He
was reluctant to give up his safe
seat in the Aggie van with the

cided to take the novel route home.

Under FDA Plan
One Payne county physician did
a $35,000 business last year. How-
ever, he will not have to pay in-
come tax on this amount, since he
was employed by the countv as su-
perintendent of the health unit.
The report of Dr. J. F. Hackler,
superintendent of health, shows
that services rendered, charged for
at the regular rate, would have to-
taled this amount.
To arrive at this figure, he val-
ued visits at $2, office calls at $1,
field clinic visits at $3, and vene-
real treatments and laboratory
tests at $3 each. All of these fig-
I ures are low, it is pointed out.
llsing these figures, Dr. Hackler
figures that the services rendered
would have cost the county more
than seven times the $4,5(X) it put
into the health unit.

POL1ONMELITIS
(Infantile Paralysis)
infantile naralysis is an acute. .
infectious disease, occurring most
often among children during the '
warmer months of the year. How- I
over no age is exempt from this (
disease, and it may occur at any
time of the year.
Infantile paralysis has an onset
much like any of the other acute
contagious diseases, such as head-
ache, fever, irritability and, fre-
quently, nausea and vomiting. Only
by paralytic symptoms developing
after three or four davs can it be
diagnosed, except during epidem-
ics.
| The initial symptoms may be so
mild as to be unnoticed entirely,
and paralysis may be the first 1
symptoms noticed, or probably
I more frequently the illness may
consist merely of the initial symp- i
toms without subsequent develop-
ment of paralysis.
The after-effects of infantile
paralysis cause approximately
one-third of all the cripples in
Oklahoma. It iff estimated that
about ti n per cent of the cases
die, 25 per cent survive with
permanent paralysis, and about
60 per cent recover completely.
An injury does not produce the
disease, hut a fall is often the first
(symptom that is recognized. In-
sects have not been proved to
spread the disease, but all foods,
especially milk, should he protect-
ed from possible infection. A vi-
rus so small that it passes through
a porcelain filter, and cannot be
seen by our most powerful micro-
scopes, is now generally considered residue in this fund for work on
to be the cause.
1 In the early stages absolute bed
' rest is important, although paraly-
sis may be limited to one extrem-
ity, or, onlv one portion of one
, extremity. The length of the period
of bed rest will depend on the se-
verity of the attack. The affected
, part should he splinted from the
start.
It in important that no mas-
age be used for the first six
weeks. After thin time, mas-
sage and exercise must be
used only very carefully and
under the close supervision of
a physician.
There has been tremendous prog-
ress in the management of infan-
tile paralysis cases during the past
years. The number of cases now
resulting in permanent crippling
has been reduced from about 80
per cent to almost 25 per cent.
| There is little to offer in the
treatment of the febrile, or early
stage. There is much to offer in
the management of the case as
the acute symptoms subside. It is
in this field of endeavor that ef-
forts now are concentrated until
something specific has been of-
fered that will prevent the dis-
ease. or check the paralysis at its
incipiency.
It is to be hoped that sufficient
funds will be obtained by the pres-
ident’s birthday celebration
throughout the United States to
finance a we 11-equipped research
laboratory where trained workers
may explore further into the
means of prevention of this dread
malady as well as to learn better
methods of treating cases once
they have occurred.
Let everyone do his part by
buying one or more tickets to the
birthday party in his community.
Early Thursday morning the drive total stood at
$6,200, according to Kalnh G. Archer, secretary of
the chamber of commerce. A number of the drive
teams had net completed their work, and rone of the
college campus solicitation was included in this pre-
liminary figure. Campus workers were delayed by
enrollment.
“It is urgent that every college man support the Stillwa-
ter Chamber of Commerce,” Dr. Carl I’. Thompson told work-
ers at a committee breakfast Tuesday morning. "The chanw
ber of commerce is the most important organization in this
city. It supercedes the Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, or any other]
civic clubs in importance, since it is the town.
“Jobs of the people in this coilege depend upon the work
we do, and we must depend upon organizations of this kindl
in every city and town in the stat? to support our profeaJ
sions. This state is the outstanding 4-H club state in the urn
ion because chamber of commerce groups have worked hand
in hand with the college in carrying the appeal for better
farm homes, better livestock and better economic gain from,
the farm profession," Thompson said. J
Thomi>son pointed out the need
for college men to affiliate them^
selves with organizations of this
kind in order to sell their work to
| the state. "I appear before many
chambers of commerce In th!

Fans Arc Interested
Basketball was the favorite sport
of Eureka district before Young
| became superintendent and coach.
[ M the present time, one of the
sponsors of the team aids in coach-
ing, using tactics she learned as
a member of the team six years
ago. When Eureka plays a bas-
ketball game, regardless of the im-
portance of it, the six-mile-square
district turns out to a man and
I child to see it.
Eureka has no other sport, and
makes basketball
tertainment and health building
purposes. Youngsters who cannot
read or write know-the rules of
the game, and can comment from
the sidelines when a particularly
good play has been made, or a
favorite fouled.
Patrons are looking lorward to
the time when Eureka district can
build a gymnasium that will per-
mit attendance at basketball games
and practice, in any weather. Ru-
mors are heard from the state de-
partment of education that con-
solidations might be forced at
some later date, hut tfureka has
argument in her favor for a gym-
nasium.

Girls from this consolidated
school now are coached by E. W
Young, who has produced more na-
tional contenders than any other
basketball mentor. Young began
coaching girls at this school in
1934. That year the girls won both
county and district championships.
The following year the girls re-
pealed as district champions, de-
feating Glencoe by a score of 39
to 36, after trailing at the third
quarter by a score of 33 to 9.
Lost Last Year
Last year the Eureka girls lost
I both the countv and district cham-
pionships to Glencoe, but the Ori-
oles plan to repeat their wins over
their neighbor school this year.
I “We have two of the best for-
wards it ever has been my pleas-
] ure to coach," Young said. "They
are as good, or better than aov
i national championship material I
1 ever have coached.”
Young may be credited with
starting national tournaments for
girls while he was a coach at
■ Guthrie. He began coaching girls
i at Cherokee in 1918. His teams
competed in the Phillips university
tournament with moderate success.
I In 1920 he went to Guthrie,
where he continued to follow well
defined philosophies regarding the
ability of girls of highschool age
| to compete in interscholastic bas-
ketball games. His Guthrie Blue
Birds competed with such strong
teams as Kingfisher. Marshall,
Alva and Edmond, leaders in t.le
early 1920's. This team c. me
through to win the state cham-
| pionship in 1923, the games being
played at Norman.
Guthrie Girls Good
That same year the Blue Birds
. went to Audubon, Iowa, to
' the champions of that state for
the three previous years. The
Guthrie girls came home with two
victories in two contests, winning
one game by a score of 47 to 7
and the other by a score of 23 to
i13-
In May of the same year the
Blue Birds played the strong Cro-
ton-on-the Hudson, New
| team, winning all three games
from the New Yorkers.
