By CHRIS MACGILL GAINESVILLE — Florida could learn a good lesson from its Seminole Indians in caring for the needs of its aged, says Presi- dent William Sanger of the Medi- cal College of Virginia. Addressing ‘the third annual Southern Conference on Gerontol- ogy which’ closed at the University of Florida Tuesday, Sanger pointed out most primitive people give. their elders. positions of .impor- tance in tribal affairs. That gives the old folks a sense of status which they need badly and of which modern civilization has virtually robbed them, he de- clared. The need of the elderly to feel they still are necessary to the community gives experts in the field of caring for the aged one of their greatest problems. The conference, planned to guide the University of Florida in de- ciding how much attention should be given to geriatrics (medical care of the aged) in the curricu- | lum of its proposed medical school, came up with one major piece of advice: Don’t regard treatment of the aged as a separate medical spe- cialty. That would not only have the effect of making old folks regard | themselves as a segregated group but would lower the quality of the | medical caré they get, the con-| ference concluded. With several speakers empha-.| sizing that the aging process ac-! tually starts as soon as a baby is born, the conference recommended letting the battle against infirmi- | ties of old age take in the whole life span of a patient. , As the conference closed, the University of Florida announced it has entered an agreement with the University of Chicago to conduct | a lengthy research project on ag- ing and retirement. Studies of workers who have re- tired to Florida will be conducted by the University of Florida. Work already is underway at an experi- mental trailer park near Mel- bourne and at a big trailer park ~|at Bradenton. L-L-LOOKY, PAW !!

Smathers Presents ° ° Bill For Third ee ° ° Judicial District WASHINGTON (#— A third fed- eral judicial district will be ere- ated in Florida if a bill introduced by Sen. Smathers (D.-Fla.) Tues- day becomes law. Smathers told the Senate in a statement accompanying his bill that one district should be the Southern Florida District, one the the Northern District. The Central District would in- clude Jacksonville, Orlando and the Tampa-St. Petersburg area; the Southern District Miami; and the old Northern District would re- Central Florida District and one main as it is. Smathers pointed out the so- called Southern District extends from Duval County, second north- ernmost in the state, in a south- east direction and includes the Tampa and St. Petersburg area. It also includes Orlando and the South Florida coastal area “where we find the greatest concentration of our state,” he said. Federal courts in the Southern District are from one and a half to two years behind in their work, Smathers added. . Operates On Four; Then Gives Birth MEXICO CITY w# — Mexico's | only woman plastic surgeon per- formed four operations Tuesday then drove to another hospital and gave birth to an _ eight-pound daughter. She is Dr. Irene Talamas de Kitain, 32, wife of violinist Robert Kitain. He interrupted a Canadian concert tour to fly here for the birth of their second child. Both mother and daughter were reported doing well. PROMISE OF DELIGHT Chapter 19 Aro rose, went over to Gina * and put his hand under her chin, turning the lovely face from side to’ side, examining it from every angle as though it were a sculptured mask, or some objet} rush dart he was considering purchas- ing. Bianca watched breathlessly and then unable to bear the suspense, she ventured timidly, “She is pretty, yes?” “She is beautiful,” he said som- berly. And then for the first time he spoke directly to Gina. “Listen, devil child. For some inscrutable reason of His own, which it is not for use to question, the good God has rewarded the evilness of your youth with great beauty.” Anthea, curl of his mouth, repressed a smile. But the pontifical manner appeared to impress Bianca, and have quite a salutary effect upon Gina, for she uncurled herself, Sat up straight, folded her hands on her lap and listened like. the best girl in the Sunday school. Joe answered Anthea’s glance with a wink, but they all listened. “It is important,” Mario said, “that you make the greatest use of this beauty.” He hooked his thumbs into his wais holes and added imp: vely, intend to make you a film star! Anthea and Joe, unable to con- trol themselves, broke into mildly ironical applause. Gina opened her eyes, and smiled like an an- lario came off his high horse and ; Shook his head irritably. “I said a star,” he shouted; “not | an actress. It isn’t given to any | human being to achieve the im- possible.” 3 | Gina lay back in the chair, and examined her painted nail h lazy concentration, idly c: | ing the opportunity that hali the youre actresses in London or | Hollywood would have given} their eyes to possess. “Well,” she said casually, “if the money's} good, and there’s not too much | work, I guess I might as well try | that as anything.” | It was Joe who began to laugh. AEC Predicts New Industrial catching Joe’s eye and the little | el, and said, “A movie actress?” | By Mary Howard If Anthea’s working hours ahd been odd before, the following week they became absolutely cha- otic. Her parents hardly saw her from morning until night, Until Gina had actually been taken to the World-Wide Studio for some 1 tests, it was impossible for Mario to give her a contract. An- thea had to take her shopping for new clothes, which she en- joyed very much. Mario footed the. bill, and gave Anthea a lib- eral amount to spend. He also firmly instructed her: “Don’t let her choose anything; her taste is exetrable. Never leave her alone in a hairdresser’s or shop or she'll do something dreadful. In the film she has to be a child of na- ture, an elegant demi-mondaine, and an ove he must only look giz). That's all the front office men need. Curves and teeth, and plenty of flowing hair.” | OF day, when Mario was out, Anthéa put in a long after- | noon’s work with Joe. Gina had | decided to take Bianca out to | the movies. ; Later, when Gina sidled tri- ‘umphantly in, they stared, and she smiled. Her lovely shining ; blonde hair was waved into a | high pompadour over her fore- | head, and tortured into innumer- able ringlets and curls down her | back and over her shoulders. Bi- | anca put her head round the door, beaming and smiling with ma- | ternal pride. | “Is it not lovely?” she said. | “Will not the padrone be too | pleased? We plan surprise. We | make date with hairdresser, and pretend to go to the movies. What do you think?” “Angels and Ministers of Grace defend us,” said Joe, the Hamlet- quotation mood apparently still with him, “I can’t bear to think of it. And the contracts aren't signed yet.” An idea seemed to strike him, and hevsaid to Anthea, “They might let her shave her head and wear a wig.” Gina gave a shriek of protest, and Bionea burst into an explo-| sion of Italian.

WASHINGTON (P—The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) has reported sharp new advances to- ward perfecting atomic power for industrial use and to drive aircraft | and submarines. It said there had been progress in virtually every department of its vast enterprise. But construction work has fallen behind schedule at its Savannah River, S. C., plant where materials of the projected hydrogen bomb are to be made, the commission said. It blamed the falling behind on “delays in the delivery of sup- plies and equipment.” j The commission, in its 13th semi- | annual report to Congress, an-/ nounced that detailed studies have ;demonstrated the American public | jhas nothing to fear-either now or in the foreseeable future-from the blast and radioactivity effects of weapons tests conducted at the} commission’s proving ground in Nevada. The AEC said it was prompted to give this assurance because of “public concern in some commu- nities” regarding possible radio- active hazards to man, beast and plant from periodic blasts aimed , at developing “new and improved atomi¢e weapons.” j The commission granted that radioactive particles from the blast in the desert area northwest of | Las Vegas could be spread by air currents across the entire nation and could fall, like dust. “virtually anywhere within the United In fact, they’ve already been de- tected in most parts of the country, the commission revealed. But the AEC said the radioactiv- ity situation is well in hand, and) a nation-wide monitoring system will be maintained to see that it remains so. In the latest account of its stew- ardship of the entire atomic pro-| gram—in which Congress so far has invested or appropriated ap- Proximately 7% billion dollars— the AEC said: Production of fissionable ma terials for A-bombs and for the operation of various atomic re-! search furnaces “continued to in crease in 1952"; and production of jatomie weapons “continued at the rate authorized by the President for calendar year 1952.” Four different industrial groups have told the commission they see attractive possibilities for tapping industrial power from the atom on an economic basis “in a few years.” And the AEC itself feels that the development of atomic reactors for the output of power for industrial use and for the propulsion of air- craft, submarines and large naval vessels “made longer forward strides (in the last six months) than in any other half-year of the decade.” Work toward developing atom - ess 13.

It was quite obvious that, whereas he saw her as a young Bergman, she saw herself as @ rising Betty Grable. Anthea drew a breath of relief when she finally got her to the studio for the test, looking the embodiment of shining youth, in a demure white organdie blouse and black taffeta skirt, with a black velvet Alice band holding back her lovely hair. The tests were a brilliant success. She could not really act, but before the camera Gina was as unself-con- scious as_a cat, and quite as- graceful. Everyone was delighted with her. The contracts were signed, Mario bought Gina a pale yellow fox cape, and Joe brought her some orchids. As the day of departure drew near, Anthea found herself work- ing like an automaton, trying to bring some sort of order into the proceedings. Mario followed his impulses, alternately linge at Bianca because she kept ing him for instructions, at Gina be- cause she would put unscripted Americanisms. into her part, or Anthea because, or so he said, she was so tidy that he could) never find anything. To see to every de- tail, to keep him in a reasonable temper, too, i tiring and worrying, am e incre: tension at home did not help bert She was relieved when the day of their departure came.
