tight bandaging of the knee in a slightly bent posi-
tion, keeping the knee elevated and applying ice
bags for two or three days. In others it may be
necessary to remove the fluid and inject a small
amount of hydrocortisone into the joint One thing is
certain — this is a condition that should not be
neglected
Q— What is the connection between nenes and
allergy? ' , .
A—Foods and drugs that cause allergic reactions •
may affect the nervous system. This is especially
true of milk, eggs, chocolate, quinine, arsenic,
sulfa drugs and liver extract Depending on which
nerves are affected, the victim may have blurred

Q—What is kelp used for?
A—The giant kelp of the Cali-
fornia coast is used as a source
of acetone, potash, and iodine,
while a substance called algin
is extracted from the broad-
leaved kelp of the east coast
and used in making ice cream,
cake icings and dental impres-
sions. —
During the school year which has just
- begun, it would be well for every board
of trustees in Orange County, as well as
those in Deweyville and Buna, to consider
the strong possibility of a big jump in their
pupil loads during the 12 months immediately
ahead.
Some of these school districts are at
present in reasonably good shape insofar as
financing and facilities are concerned. Others
are teetering on the thin edge and one or
two are still in serious difficulties.
And each of, them, no matter what their
■ present status, is going to have its current
problems magnified by an influx of new
families between now and Sept. 1, 1965.
In many cases, these new families will
move to the Orange County-Deweyville-Buna
area solely for the purpose of relocating their
places of residence for one reason or an-
other. In many cases, they will be drawn
There has been much ado throughout
Texas this week over an opinion which came
out of the attorney general’s office in Austin.
It was to the effect that in the view of
authors of the opinion, a county government
in Texas cannot, legally contribute to the
cost of an urban transportation study.
The Orange County Government already
has contributed about $3,000 toward a study
of that nature, and the work this money
helped to finance is around 90 per cent
complete.
Quite naturally, the attorney general’s
opinion that this expenditure was question-
able from the legal point of view was up-
setting to the county auditor and to members
of commissioners court.
And in their behalf we should like to
make these points:
1 .Two years ago, Congress passed a law
saying after 1965 no federal funds for high-
way construction would be available for
metropolitan areas of 50.000 or more people
where there has been no comprehensive
urban transportation study.
All this means some king-size headaches
for our’ school board members when they
get into their planning for the 1965-66
school term. And the sooner this planning
begins, the better.
have to take medicine? m ■
A—I doubt that anyone is allergic to all forma
of medication. It is important first to find out which
drugs you are allergic to. With the recent develop-
ment of many new drugs your doctor can almost
always find one to fit your needs — one to which
you are not allergic.
Q—What is Tofranil given for and what are
Its side effects?
A—Tofranil is a brand of imipramine It is
given for depression. The side effects include dry-
ness of the mouth, blurred vision, rapid pulse, and
constipation but these rarely occur unless tthe dos-
age is too large.
The longest running show in the world is not a

- talks at Panmunjom, Korea
The word’ “show" is used advisedly because
these negotiations — the longest in history, now
going into their 12th year — have become real
tourist attractions.
Civilians and servicemen on pass, from both
North and South Korea, visit the steel corrugated
hut at Panmunjom where they can look through
open windows to see the long table placed exactly
Scientists, often accused of chasing meon-
beams, are chasing fireflies in earnest and find-
ing them hard to find.
For years a chemical company in New Jersey
has been buying live lighting bugs from youngsters
(and some moonlighting adults) for SO cents a hun-
• dred. An extract from the luminescent substance in
the firefly’s tail is used in certain medical
researches.
. As many as half a million of the bugs have been
bought by the company in one year. Last year,
however, the supply dropped drastically and so far
this year there have been none at all — why,
nobody knows. ,
There are plenty of fireflies in other parts of the •
country, but shipping is somewhat of a problem.
Things look dim in New Jersey.

In the world is a society called "Mensa." The only
qualification for joining It is the brains to score
higher than 98 per cent of the general population
on an intelligence test.
Purpose of Mensa, which has some 5,000 mem-
bers, chiefly in Britain and the United States, is to
promote contact between intellectuals and to spark
the interchange of ideas on any and all subjects.

Recently, the American branch of the society
queried a large number of former members to find
out why they had let their memberships lapse.
The most common reason given was:
“Did not like other members."

the army. And that was that. I myself was hiding
from this kind of a draft when the Viet Cong found
me.
“When I went with the Viet Cong, they immedi-
ately sent me to a 45-day course in tactics and politi-
cal indoctrination. Ever since then, on the days we
weren’t out on patrol, we’d have political lectures
and discussions Men who couldn’t read also went
to classes in reading.

My battalion had Chinese advisers.
“We get into a scrape and one of the Chinese
was killed. To hide the fact that he was Chinese
his head was cut off and buried. Then the report
was spread that the Vietnamese government
troops had committed an atrocity against ns —
beheading one of our people.
"We got into a lot of trouble for losing the
Chinese adviser. For two days our battalion did lit-
tle but fill out official reports explaining how this
had happened.” •

the administration has ad-
here by the opening up of pew jobs, pri-
marily in the construction trades.
Quite a number of new homes, mostly
in unincorporated areas, will be constructed
by these new residents. Most of them, how-
ever, will occupy one or the other off the
1.700 vacant'dwelling units which the area
has at present.
This means the increase in school tax
valuations from residential construction will
not come close to being proportionate to the
increase in the number of students. And
there will be no big gain next year in the
industrial valuations because any new plants
which are going to be built will be mostly in
the early stages of construction.
Q—Does water on the knee cause pain to the

we'd move our troops openly into the hamlet, make
certain that the government forces learned we
were there.
"Then you'd bomb the place. Our Viet Cong

them about this terrible thing the foreigners and
their stooges were doing to the people. It helped.

GPO also is currently offering a two-color
reproduction of the inaugural address of John F.
Kennedy, suitable for framing, at a price of
two bits.
But if you want the volume entitled “Wound
Ballistics” which “reveals for the first time the
complete details of the medical studies in wound
ballistics and body armor during both World War
II and the Korean War" you’ll have to plunk
down $7.50.
Another publication bearing on military matters
is much cheaper. It's called "Revision No 1 to the
Industrial Security Manual for Safeguarding Classi-
fied Information (Attachment toDD Form 441),
1 March 1964" and even with that iimpressive title
only costs five cents. 2
The “Egg Grading Manual" comes higher at 40
cents. So does “Methodical Experiments With
Models of Single-Screw Merchant Ships" which is
priced at $2. But it only takes a dime to buy
“Survey of Multiply Charged Ions."

NEW YORK (AP)—It‘s time
for another double-talk drill
Double-talk, you will recall, la
the art of saying one thing while
you’re thinking the opposite.
Double-talk is the cement that
holds society together. It is the
basis of polite conversation
everywhere, and of course in an
election year we simply couldn't
do without it.
Here are a few typical ex-
amples:
"No, Gerald, I'm not the least
bit sleepy." If this bore doesn't
go home soon, I'm going to
yawn right in his big fat face.
"Some men say a woman
doesn't really become attractive
until she's 30." But oh, how I
wish I was 29 again. - .
“We want to keep this cam-
paign on a high level There’ll
be .no mud-stinging on our
part " Besides, my opponent
has more mud to throw than I
do. -
"But officer, I know I couldn’t
have been going 85 miles an
hour." I was doing 70 at least.
“This is one party platform
that will be carried out.” Car-
ried out and buried.

of meat, old boy?” The way this

3. Jefferson and Orange County interests
then -got together and worked out a formula
through which the local share of the cost
was divided up among city and county gov-
ernments of the area on a population basis.
4. Commissioners courts of Jefferson and
Orange counties amended their current
operating budgets to pay their proportionate
shares of the cost.
5. There was no reason at that time for
anyone to believe or suspect that an ex-
penditure by a county government in Texas
for such purpose is legally questionable. It
seemed like a perfectly normal payment for
a county government seeking to do its part in
keeping the highway system abreast of needs.
The question of legality of an expenditure
of county funds for transportation fact-find-
ing has not been tested in the courts. And
a showdown set for after Labor
Day, the stock market has been
betting on an agreement in-
stead of a strike. The auto com-
panies are planning greater out-
put in September than usual for
this month. Management also
seems to be counting on a new
pact by the deadline, after the
customary last minute in-
fighting.,
When a settlement is reached,
the big question will be: How
much? And in the case of the
auto union, too, the pressure
has been largely on gaining
ground around the fringes.
The terms that finally are
reached, with or without a
strike, will affect bargaining in
many other industries. This
could extend into next year
and avoidance of the offending substance.

tious arthritis or an injury. In person's with this sion, this can aggravate any form of allergy just

Some of these publications are even more of a
bargain than the tongue-twisters mentioned at the
start of this column. For only a nickel, GPO will
mail you a pamphlet entitled "Fleas, How To Con-
trol Them” or plans for "A Plastic - Covered
3 Greenhouse'"
For 10 cents you can get the latest informa-
tion on “Growing Raspberries" or "How to Pre.
vent and Remove Mildew, Home Methods."
"Removing Stains From Fabrics, Home Meth-
ods” is a little higher. It costs 15 cents and for
the same price you can get a copy of the report
on a study of “The Economic Feasibility of a
Travel Service in Henryetta, Okla."
Now here is one of especial interest to me since
I have begun to, become a grandfather again every

“When I joined the Viet Cong," he said, “I was
told we would drive out the American foreigners en-

giving the orders were Chinese, white foreigners
and Vietnamese trained in the north. We flew for-

“I decided we weren’t accomplishing anything.
Besides, we were short of food and sick for lack
of medicine We nevr got home to see our families."
Trinh Viet Duong had some pithy thoughts about
the Vietnamese government officers and troops he
had been up against.
“It's easy fighting Vietnamese government
troops," he said. “Their officers always do the
same things over and over. We hit an outpost.
They send in a relief column. We set an ambush.
They come in with no advance guard and no
scouts out. We can hit them without warning.
“In any maneuver, you always know what they
are going to do. - -
“Their officers are a bunch of scholars. They
read books but know nothing about war or leading
men . . . especially the young officers. "
"With the Viet Cong, it’s different. The man who

No one asks how many books he’s read.
