AKRON, OHTO. — One - year - old
Beverly Smith will never know the
agony of pain, doctors disclosed. , ,
Physicians at Children's hospital. ,
where she is being held for observa-
tion. said she is one of the four suc!i
children known to have been born
impervious to pain.
The infant itever has felt pain ar. f
never is likely to, doctors say. S-L
cries only when the is hungry or
angry.
An attractive and mentally bright Wt
child, doctors said Beverly will lead . . .. ..
a normal life except that she must
be closely watched to see that she
doesn't get seriously injured. She
wouldn't know it.

without seeming to mind it at all.

"never even yipped."
A resident physician who had read
of the few oth r similar cases classi-
fied her ailment iiiimediately.
Doctors sai i it would be perfectly
possible for Ccverly to break a leg
or suffer an attack of appendicitis
"without even i nowing it."
One advantage, they point out, is ).ci cousin
that Beverly is immune to spank- ,

Se!i It With a ant Atj
Miss Janvier is director of the
special services division of schools
ait New Orleans, La. She balked
against teaching today's children—
Bttuned to comics and movies—"in
terms of King Arthur and Sir Gala-
had."
The comic strips or the movies,
she said, would be more interesting.
Moreover, she added, if you get the
child's interest you have a better
chance of keeping it happy and out
of trouble.
"Our generation," said she, "is
a generation of comic strips and
movies. That's more than a figure
of speech. Why can't we teach chil-
dren to read by teaching them to
read the comics?"
in other words, she said, key in-
struction to the present—not to the
past.
Silk stockings were first seen in the
16th century but they weren't really
observed until the 20th century.
I Mr. and Mrs. Grady Dial were
j Sunday guests of her brother, P. F.
Hicks and family in Nacogdoches.
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Bedsole, Sr., of
Dallas, visited Mr. and Mrs. D. M.
Barker Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Bud Broach and
children of Alto, spent Sunday with i
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. W. !
Petty.
Air. and Mrs. J. S. Pyle of Dallas,
visited Friday with Mrs. M. L. Dial
! and family.
?Ir. and Mrs. Cullen Sherman and
j children of Maydelle, spent Sunday
j with her mother, Mrs. E. D. Melvin.
Scientists are seeking a substitute
for gasoline. The surest one we know
of is a pair of shoes.
in these times you have to move
pretty fast to keep up with running
expenses.
