E. PETERSON TREASURER KETCHIKAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAROLD A. HOEGLUND, SUPERINTENDENT ae ~—« KETCHIKAN, ALASKA November 22, 193 Dr. Fe C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Kindly permit me to ask a favor of you. But, first of all, may I introduce myself. You will not remember me, but I spent the year, 1933-'3), and four succeeding summers at K.U. One summer (one of the hot ones--about '36) I had the pleasure of playing badminton with you and others on the occasion of a picnic out at a grove south of Lawrence--r Brown's Grove, I believe it was. They finally gave me a master's degree at K.U. in 1938. My present position is superintendent of schools at Ketchikan, Alaska. I think I am the first and only K.U. man to ever hold a superintendency in Alaska. May I tell you my reason for asking a favor of you at this time. If we win the basketball championship this year, we will be champions of Southeastern Alaska for the third consecutive year. Our chances of doing so are good insofar as emperience is concerned because we have seven of the original championship team back again this year, quite an unusual circumstance, considering the war. But, the boys are not training. As chief reason, I would blame the backwash of the war; more specifically, twenty-seven salloons and liquor stores in this town, besides the honkey- tonks and the accompanying vices. Ketchikan is definitely a basketball town; the old blood and thunder type of fanfare. : As an incentive to get our boys out of the doldrums, we are offering to take them to the Washington state tournament next spring if we can qualify. The favor I am requesting is two-fold: (1) Will you be so kind as to explain the procedure leading up to the national tournament, giving also, rules, qualifications, place, ete? (2) Will you include in your letter a statement or two emphasizing the necessity for rigid training by teams who desire or contemplate participating in contests leading toward the national basketball tournament. Kindest personal regards, with many happy memories from Mt. Oread. : Sincerely ee Harold A. Hoeglund : e Superintendent | - Jemary 13, 1944. Vr. Joo Me Hail, Box 647, Parsons, Kansas.

C, Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen, With the coming of the basketball season, I find myself wishing I were back in school--just waiting for the opening game. But I guess that upon graduation from college, one has to forget about life on the old campus. On June l4 I started working for the Salt Lake Telegram in Salt Lake City and three weeks later was transferred to Provo as the Telegram representative. Provo is a city of 23,000 nestling up against the Wasatch mountain range. 1 worked for the Telegram until Octoher 16 when I quit after failing to get any answer regarding a raise in salary. I felt that $25.00 a week wasn't enough--considering that Provo is a boom town where room rent is a dollar a day and meals were up the dame degree. This "boom" is the result of the construction of the Geneva Steel Plant which will be the largest plant of its type in the world upon its completion, I'm doing warehouse office work for Schulman's at more than twice my salary with the Telegram--just what I needed to pay off some old college bills, When Schulman's electrical constmction work is through sometime next year, I'm heading back to the central part of the U.S. where newspapers pay better wages, but for the present I'm doing my part in the war effort, One of Schulman's employees whom I see nearly every day is Floyd Millet, Brigham Young University basketball coach, who is planning to take his team back to Madison Square Garden in December, Floyd has been trying to get a game lined up with some college in the middle west, but is having a hard time finding a college with an all-civilian team. His team is composed of two squadsmen from last year's team and a bunch of freshmen. If you're fielding an all-civilian team, maybe you could line up a game with BYU. His team is leaving Provo on December 7 and will make the swing through the east with Oklahoma A,&M.--same team they traveled with last year--and will be back in Provo a couple days before Christmas, Knowing the Kansas set-up, I'll bet you're fielding a team this winter despite hell and highwater. I'm al|/for keeping collegiate competitive sports going--if not just to give the boys in the camps something to talk about. For FOUNDED IN 1890 A. S. SCHULMAN ELECTRIC COMPANY ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS Box 218 PROVO, UTAH HOME OFFICE: Contract Plancor 301 537 S. Dearborn Street CHiCAGO, ILLINOIS Geneva Steel Works myself, I followed the Kansas football team with keen interest and was interested to note that the team put up a good showing even though it lost its usual number of games, I got a big kick out of beating Kansas State. How many times in a row is it now that we've beaten "silo-tech" in both basketball and football? Have noticed that Charlie Black is stationed out here but haven't been able to get up to Salt Lake City to look him up. Also have received word that several former KU boys, with the Aix Corps in Texas, will probably be transferred to the Salt Le&ke Air Base in the near future, Are you planning a take a team . east and if so what members from last year's team are back? Those "iron Men" really showed those Easterners how to oles the game last December--do it again this year. Is Junius Penny going to play basketball? For the past two years he did pretty good with the Newman Club intramural team--he's about the oaty ath@lete that I've heard about a KU this fall. Tell Shenk and the rest of the gang, hello.

The Philadelphia doctors endorse the new anesthetic method “as the nearest thing to safe and painless childbirth that we have in our obstetric VP MEDICINE ium,” but agree with the originators of the method, Dr. Robert A. Hingson and Dr. Waldo B. Edwards, of the U. S. Public Health Service, that it should be used only by competent, specially trained persons. Science News Letter, January 22, 1944 Hip aaie Neale Vision Masile coordination is also aided by spraying hot, then cold water over lower part of trunk. Recommended for routine patrol duty and factory work. ®/COLD HIP BATHS for men doing routine patrol duty or monotonous tasks in factories where acute vision and good muscular coordination “may spell the difference between success and disaster” are suggested in War Medicine (Decem- ber, 1943), published by the National Research Council and the American Medical Association. The suggestion comes from Dr. Arthur H. Steinhaus and Albert Kelso, of George Williams College, Chicago, with the technical assistance of Viktor Rein- hardt. Mr. Reinhardt recently received training in the procedure in Germany where it was perfected as a conditioning device for men in industry and in the air force, The cold hip baths produce striking temporary improvement in visual func- tions involving binocular vision, in visual acuity and in critical fusion frequency. They also produce temporary improve- ment in the rate at which a person can tap a telegraph key and in eye to leg muscle reaction time as shown by auto- mobile driver reaction tests. Men who took the baths regularly re- ported feeling exhilarated. Some said that the visual field appeared brighter, that black objects looked blacker and white ones whiter. — Unlike pep pills there is no after-de- pression or “pay-off” period. The stimu- lating effect of the cold hip bath may last as long as six hours if no meal is taken after the bath. In the tests made by the Chicago scientists, the baths were taken shortly after breakfast. Tests of the visual function were made before the bath and again at noon, some two- and-one-half hours after. To take the bath, the subject sits on a chair with feet resting on another chair or stool and sprays water over his lower abdomen and hips. For the first three to five. minutes increasingly hot water, to the limit of comfort, is used. This is grad. ually changed to tap coldness (45 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit) and the cold water is continued, for five to 15 minutes. Over-all cold showers did not produce the same effects as the cold hip baths. The scientists believe this is because of the greater loss of heat in an over-all shower. The cold hip baths produce their ef- fect, it is believed, through the sympa- hietic nervous system. Science News Letter, January 22, 1944 Army Bread Can Be Made With Water from Ocean > BREAD MAKERS for the Army, stranded on some far-away island in the Pacific, need not despair when their supply of fresh water and salt is run- ning low—they can just dip their pans ¢ ° £..

Tests were made by the Quartermaster Corps Subsistence Research Laboratory in Chicago with samples of sea water taken from oceans around Florida, Vir- ginia, California and Washington. The salt and mineral content of the water was determined, it was strained to re- move seaweed, sand and other undesir- able matter, and then treated with cal- cium hypochlorite for purification. Instead of using 60 parts of fresh water and two parts of salt, it was found that 62 parts of salt water could be used. Otherwise, the bread was made in the usual manner. The finished product, ac- cording to a report issued by the War Department, showed only a slight vari- ation from bread ‘made according to the standard recipe. Science News Letter, January 22, 1944 Jan. 25 Eclipse of Sun Visible from Part of U. S. > THE TOTAL ECLIPSE of the sun on Tuesday, Jan. 25, will be best ob- served in South America and Africa, but spectators in southwestern United States can see a portion of the sun cov- ered by the moon. (See SNL, Dec. 25, 1943) The farther south spectators from Florida to Texas are, the greater the por- tion of the sun that will be hidden from them, because of their nearness to the path of totality.

Science News Letter, January 22, 1944 Sulfa Drugs Save Sailors Instead of having makeshift appendectomies per- formed on board ship, surgeons advise special hold-over treatment until professional aid is available. > A NEW ROLE for the sulfa drugs, that of saving sailors from appendicitis death or the hazards of makeshift op- erations for appendicitis, appears in a report by two U. S. Navy medical offi- cers, Comdr. William L. Berkley and Lieut. Comdr. Harry C. Watkins. (U. S. Naval Medical Bulletin, January) The public may be thrilled by stories of enlisted personnel performing appen- dectomies on shipmates at sea when no medical aid is available. Physicians and surgeons both in and out of the Navy, however, deplore such action. “We believe more lives will be lost through surgery performed by unquali- fied persons than would be lost through a policy of delay of surgery, using prop- er treatment during the delay period,” Lieut. Comdr. F. Glenn Irwin and Lieut. Comdr. Gaines L. Coates, declare in an- other report on appendicitis in the same issue of the Naval Medical Bulletin, Even when.a medical officer is aboard the vessel to perform the operation, the patient’s welfare may be jeopardized by poor or deficient equipment, unfavorable weather conditions, unskilled assistants to the surgeon, and postoperative haz- ards due to enemy action, it is pointed out. The postoperative complications seen in base hospitals as a result of appendec- tomies done at sea show how hazardous the ordinarily simple appendicitis oper- ation may be under unfavorable condi- tions. Sulfa drugs may help, Commander Berkley and Commander Watkins be- lieve, by bringing the patient safely through the delay period until he can have his operation under good condi- tions. They give credit to sulfa drug report 400 consecutive operations without a single death in patients admitted to their hospital from shore stations and ships. Science News Letter, January 22, 1944 MEDICINE-PHYSIOLOGY “Motor Unfitness’’ Found Prevalent in College Men > AN. “APPALLING”. number. of young men entering college suffer from “motor unfitness,” tests at the Uni- versity of Illinois show. The tests and their results are reported by Dr. Thomas K. Cureton, of the University’s School of Physical Education, in the Journal, American Medical Association. Motor fitness, he says, means “capacity to run, jump, dodge, fall, climb, swim, ride, lift and carry loads and endure long hours of continuous work.” Vitally necessary to the soldier, motor fitness is also needed by civilians for their safety and health, Dr. Cureton points out. Many people, he says, slip on rugs, in the shower or pool or when dismount- ing from moving vehicles and suffer serious accidents because they lack kines- thetic sense and cannot tell when they are off balance and how to recover quickly. Protected soft lives, dependence on motor vehicles, inefficient physical edu- cation, and lack of hard physical work are blamed by Dr. Cureton for the large number of men who enter -col- lege with motor unfitness. Tests developed at the University of Illinois to rate students on motor fitness include ability to balance on one foot or toe for 10 seconds; ability to do 20 leg lifts and 20 situps in succession; ability to lift and set down once a per- son one’s own weight; ability to do a standing broad jump of seven feet; CUT BY EROSION—Accelerated wearing away leaves deep gullies such as this one which dwarfs the man at the right. Some of these gullies are as much as 800 feet deep. This photograph, taken in Kansu, China, was made by Dr. W. C.

Sulfa drugs are also listed as part of the medical treatment advised by Com- mander Irwin and Commander Coates when operation must be delayed.

HUNT, MINISTER December 13, 1943 Dear Dr, Allen:- Thanks f or your letter and for the copy of the "Jayhawk Rebound", I enjoy reading about the boys I have known in days past. Give us some news about Bill Johnson. I have always admired him since the day that he flew from his father's funeral to play that champion ship game against Missouri. I think I shall never hear such an enthusiastic applause than was given him that night when after playing out his heart he went out on four fouls shortly before the end of the game. He deserved it all a nd had championship stuff in him. Glad to hear about Mary, Mit,Bobbie and the rest. Hope the future will be good to all of them, I watch the progress of your basket: ball team with much interest although I do not know any of your players. Wish = might slip in some night and see them in action. Oyr Bob does not write much about his work,as it is all pretty much routine work each day. I feel he is doing a good job and am not concerned about having him apply for a commission but only that he may do good work wherever he is placed, sothat when this war is over he may have the satisfaction of a job well done. Best wishes to all. Put me on your mailing list for the "Rebound" and an occasional letter. Best wishes, ie Bere age a ee ka THE KANSAS CITY STAR.
