ROBERTSON, é uate of University, to Be NEE MARIE PETRON, DIES IN PORTLAND} Former Local Resident, Grad- Buried at Grand Forks Mrs. Frank O. Robertson, nee Marie Petron, former resident of Bismarck and graduate of the University of North Dakota, died Monday after- noon in a Portland, Ore., hospital, ac- cording to word received here by her Parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert, Petron, 118% Third St. Mrs. Robertson and her two sons became ill with influenza last. week. At first there appeared to be little danger for all except Allan, the oldest boy, whose illness developed into a severe case of pneumonia, but Sun- day, Mrs. Robertson took a serious turn for the worse and passed away very suddenly Monday of a heart at- tack. Honor student and winner of sev- eral student medical awards while at- tending the university, Mrs. Robert-' son had gone with her husband to Portland in the fall of 1935, where he | is completing his senior year in medi- men, women and children lost their lives to this plague and only 125 died in motor mishaps. The figures are not yet official but they are sent out by the American Social Hygiene association, which usually knows what it is talking about in such matters. And lest we hide our heads in shame, it might be mentioned that North Dakota is next to the bottom of the list, Nevada alone having a better record among the states. And Nevada’s population, of course, is much less than ours. Analysis of these vital statistics by states shows that this menace is less prevalent in the Northwest than in: most other sections, particularly in the South where the large Negro popu- lation is particularly subject to it. This is an unpleasant subject. The fact that it took 188 lives in this state last year doesn’t make it less so. Making it still worse is the fact that young persons usually are the victims. Automobile accidents strike down old and young alike, but Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, former interior secre- tary and now president of the social hygiene association, asserts that not until the “children coming forward in each generation are taught the truth about these diseases, how to avoid them and what to do if infected,” will we reach a situation wherein our young manhood and young womanhood will no longer be their chief victims. “When every expectant mother asks her doctor to make gure that no syphilis infection lurking in her blood threatens her baby, we shall not count each year such a tragic toll of prenatal and infant deaths,” says Dr. Wilbus. “When every community realizes its obligation to give its young people whole- ,f0me surroundings, free from degrading amustment places and disease-breeding red-light districts, we shall be well on the way toward a further increase in health and happiness for the _ American people.” Urge to Immortality One of the oldest inner urges of the human race is that toward immortality. It is the basis for Chinese ancestor wor- ship and for the voodooism of savage tribes as well as the spark which lights the religious impulse in civilized man. No one LIKES to think that when he dies his influence vanishes com- pletely. Thus it is not at all surprising that J. C. Penney, chain store tycoon, has endowed his herd of Guernsey cows with $300,000 in cash and turned over to it more than 1,000 acres of valuable land, for in the background is the desire to perpetuate a development which has interested him greatly. For many years Penney has been interested in dairy cattle, particularly in the Guernsey breed. His Eramadine farm in Dutchess county, New York, has been the locale of the “fore- most Guernsey herd in the country.” The distinction has de- lighted Penney more than almost any of the numerous other honors which have come to him. He would like for it to con- tinue,:as well.as to do something worth while for a phase of our national life which he feels is meritorius. For these reasons the endowment is perfectly natural. It is merely manifestation of one of the oldest instincts which wells in the human breast, that to tuate his name; to make sure he will be remembered. Oe : Some persons build the “tallest” buildings; others seek athletic records; Penney wants everyone to know that he is trying to do something constructive for his favorite breed of _ dairy cows. New Technique ~ These are changing times in America, as evidenced by the strategy being used by both sides in the General Motors strike. The company, evidently feeling that it has much of the tight on its side, is making every effort to enlist the support of public opinion. It makes an article which is sold to the gen- eral public against stiff competition and the people’s reaction is important, not only now but in its future dealings. “In the old days the strikers used to try to get public opinion on their side. Now it is capital and management which are taking this approach. The strikers, on the other hand, are concentrating their efforts on the development of power to maintain their status, ate paying less heed to public opinion. Their technique con- sists of settling strikes in plants which affect the production of General Motors competitors, thereby letting them continue ‘ operations and thus seize control of the available business. That is the logical explanation of the settlement of the strikes in the glass industry without obtaining the ends which still are the principal bones of contention in the General Motors trouble. : General Motors now is practically shut down. A few cars are being turned out by assembling them from stocked parts in ‘minor plants, but this work is proceeding slowly. Meanwhile, operations at rival plants are rising. , -Thus new techniques are being applied by both sides. “The prospect is that the battle will yet be fought out in such a ner that the public will be the judge. If the public is given i of the facts its decision is quite likely to be fair.

Mrs. Robertson’s parents will go to Grand Forks and be met there by Dorothy, their other daugh- ter, who is a junior at the University of Minnesota. Marie Petron was born Jan. 1, 1904, at Gilby, N. D. She lived there until she was six years old when the family moved to Coleharbor where she com- pleted her high school: course, enter- ing the university in 1918 soon after she became 15 years old. She took a pre-medical course there and was graduated in 1923. A year later her parents moved to perperden ‘ and for two years she taught, first Braddock and the following year at Hazelton. In 1926 she returned to the university to complete her medical course but her health failed and she was forced to give up her training for three years. Married at Grand Forks She was married to Frank Robert- son Jan. 2, 1929, in Grand Forks and the couple lived for four years at Mc- Clusky where he was superintendent of schools. Later they moved back to Grand Forks, where he completed his six years of medical work, and then went to the west coast. Besides her husband, parents and sister, she also leaves her two sons, Allan, 6, and Bruce, 2. While at the university, Mrs. Rob- ertson was a member of the Gamma Phi Beta social sorority; Simga Xi, honorary scientific fraternity, and Phi Sigma, honorary biology fraternity.

As I began to roll up my sleeves the correspondent hastens to complete the lateral pass before I can intercept it. The ordinary person realizes the truth of this principle, he declares, making me feel a crazy nut, but repeated emphasis on the point by medical authorities of a high reputation (which lets me off lightly, after all) will encourage him to be guided by the principle and to, er, protect his feet, Most people, one gathers from the picture, seem more concerned about 5 protecting their necks, Never mind your neck, you poor fish. See that your feet are properly protected and leave your neck out. Are health commissioners ordinary persons? A number of the directors of public health departments of the various states, the correspondent con- tinues, have indicated that they intend to include in their periodic radio or newspaper health talks a reference to the importance of protecting the feet from wet and cold . . . J Winter, I believe, wouldn't ibe ‘80 bad if it were not accompanied by the old baloney about resistance, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who lived five years in the Arctic where, the scientists had assured us, a civilised man could not subsist, never saw any evidence that cold wet feet brought any illness other than frostbite. The actual experience of such a competent observer outweighs the hand-me-down teachings of a thousand directors of public health who have to cater to certain interests to hold their political jobs. Not that it does one any good to get his feet wet, or any harm to pro- tect the feet against cold and wet in whatever way one finds most comfort- able and convenient. But if or when you do happen to get your feet wet and can’t change to dry shoes and stockings for the rest of the day, don’t worry. Aside from the discomfort it can do you no possible harm. Infirmities of old age were given as the cause of death. The body was laid to rest in the church cemetery there beside her husband and two sons.
