Football Game to Aid Children's Hospitals
A parade, public luncheon and all-star
league game will take place Saturday in
Leahay Hall.
All-star high school football players from western Kansas will compete against all-stars from eastern Kansas in the first Kansas Shrine Senior Football All-Star game, which will begin at 4 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
Proceeds from the game will go to the 22 crippled children's hospitals and burns.
Saturday's events will begin with a public lunch ceremony by Shririms at the Haskell Institute.
A parade down Massachusetts Street will begin at 1 p.m. Gov. Robert Docking and other dignitaries will attend the parade, which will start at 7th Street, advance to Street and then move west on 13th Street Memorial Stadium for the football game.
About 16,000 tickets already have been sold for the game. A crowd of 20,000 to 25,000 persons is expected. Tickets cost $4 for persons over 12 and $1 for children.
The football players, who were selected largely by the state's media, are recent high school graduates. There will be 33 persons in the team, including two teams was U.S. Highway 81. The counties touching the highway were considered to be Wichita and Wichita would be on opposite sides.
The east team has been training in Otawa and the west team in Salina.
Both teams went to St. Louis this weekend to attend a Sirius circle and visit a crippled school.
KU Intramurals To Include Golf, Softball, Tennis
The University of Kansas health, physical education and recreation department is offering an extensive program in intramural sports for the summer session.
The program includes slow-pitch and fast-pitch softball, which begin June 17. The deadline for entry in the slow-pitch and fast-pitch softball leagues is 5 p.m. June 13.
Several tournaments in such activities as hardball, terms and paddleball will be held.
An unusual offering of the intramural program will be interdepartmental competition in a golf tournament. Each team must win by a member or a student within the department who will compete against other depart-ments. Contributions will be notified about this tournament.
There will also be an outdoor volleyball
session during the third week of the
summer season.
Any student, student team or faculty member wishing to participate should call (800) 569-7244.
This is the First Shrine Senior All-Star game in Kansas. A game in Wichita last year was sponsored by the Jaycests. Similar games were announced by Shriners in several other states.
The KU Athletic Department and the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce sports committee are responsible for ticket sales and distribution locally. The five Shrine temples sponsoring the game, Isla of Salina, Mizrah of Pittsburg, Abdallah of Kansas and Topka of Tepeda and Midian of Wichita, will also sell tickets in their communities.
The Shrine hospitals provide treatment for any crippled or burned children, age 16 or younger, whose parents or guardians aren't capable of paying for the treatment.
Stretching out between classes on the lawn in front of Strong Hall or enjoying a summer picnic or nap in the grass, Kansas residents usually end up paying an unpleasant price for a pleasant rest in the grass.
Kansas has its own particular summertime plague, best known as chizgers.
The tiny red specks about the size of a pin point seem to have an uncanny knack for finding the most uncomfortable spots to bite.
Itching and scratching the uncomfortable wells, most Kansans have learned to live with the peky mites, without really understanding what chiggers are.
Scratch—Chigger Season's Here
Edward A. Martinko, Colorado Springs graduate student and an entomologist with the State Biological Survey of Kansas, has completed a detailed study of chiggers and
their habits, and compiled his findings along with tips on prevention and control in a booklet, "Chiggers in Kansas: Their Habits and Effect on Man."
Contrary to popular thought, chickgers or chigger mites are not related to the mosquito, Martinko said. Rather, chickgers and mosquitoes can ticks and more distant cures of insects.
Unlike its relative, the tick, the chigger does not burrow into the skin and suck blood, although the continued swelling and itching that can persist for several days may lead the unfortunate victim to believe this.
Martinko described four primary stages in the chigger's life cycle: the egg, larva, nymph and adult. Only the larva attacks humans, and from this stage chiggers get their bad name, he said. In the nymphal and adult stages, chiggers may be considered beneficial because they feed on insect eggs and young.
According to Belolet, the policy now in effect allows the warning sirens to be activated when the National Weather Service places Lawrence under a tornado warning or when there is a confirmed sighting in or near the city.
Lawrence Will Activate New Tornado Alert Policy
Belote said that when threatening weather approached Douglas County, about
Police LI, Verner L. Newman is in charge of the new system. When this system is installed a new siren activation policy will be instituted.
Lawrence will soon be made a part of the North American Weather Alert System, according to Lawrence police officer Mike Reeves. Under this system, which is a part of the National Weather Service, Lawrence police rather than the sheriff can activate the tornado alert system.
30 volunteer spotters and 20 law enforcement officers were on duty, making it possible to confirm a sighting almost immediately.
About 1:30 p.m. Friday, a tornado sighted at the intersection of 23rd and Louisiana streets and was confirmed and the system was activated. The tornado dipped out of the clouds only briefly and did not touch down. Another reported sighting, not confirmed, occurred Friday afternoon in the area of Lawrence north of the Kansas River.
He also said various mosquito repellants and local antiseptics that druggists sell would help kill chiggers, prevent infection and reduce welts.
Belote said that when he called the Topeka office of the National Weather Service, he was told that radar reports were not being reported to require a warning. Later, however, the confirmed sighting in Lawrence was picked up by the WeatherService radar.
Areas heavily infested with chiggers might also be sprayed or dusted with pesticides, he said. However, the problem should be severe before pesticides are used and strict care should be taken to follow application instructions precisely.
"When returning from an area intestine with chickers," Martinoiko said, "butabe as quickly as possible, especially if repellants were not used. Wash several times with thick water and be rinsed by a rinse each time. This will kill most of the attached or wandering chickers."
people found the resulting odor on their clothes and body strong and unpleasant.
At present, after a sighting is confirmed, the sheriff or a subordinate contacts Chuck Belote, local civil defense director, to get permission to sound the sirens. Belote said if he were not available, the sheriff could activate the system at his own discretion.
However, there have been a few problems with the system recently. Belote said that Saturday the city was placed under a tornado warning, but because the area of the warning was so large, city residents were not alerted.

Everyone seems to have the sure-fire cure for chigger bites, with home remedies dating all the way back to great-grandma. According to the pamphlet, many of these are not simply old wives' tales, but they work.
Martinko said none of the 46 species of chickens found in Kansas carried diseases affecting humans, and only three types are bothersome to humans. The only danger he, said, is possible secondary infection from excessive itching of the wells.
