NEW FRONTIER IN MEDICINE
by Science Features
Orw of the most exciting n.»v
frontier* in medtcine is in th<> con-
trol and i emulation of human me-
tabolism. Metabolism is the func-
tioning of rarioiu cells in the irxJy
to provide the enerjry necessary far
life. Some scientists believe that in
the understanding of vhes • (unc-
tions may lie the key to the eon-
cju< 5t of many diseases.
The hormones, secretions of the
internal ducts and glands, are the
body's chemical
messengers ir
the regulation
and operation of
metabolism —
and life. Only in
the past decade-
have scientists
gathered any-
exact knowledge
of how the hor-
mones work.
Out of this
knowledge has
come a radically new concept of
disease.
Dr. Hans Selye, a Canadian phy-
siologist, has offered a theory ex-
plaining between 30 and 40 dis-
eases, including arthritis, rheu-
matic fever, and high blood pres-
sure, as a result of an abnormal
body reaction to what he calls
stress. The hormones play the cen-
tral role in this theory.
Whenever the body is subjected
to a stress or strain—such as ex-
treme cold, emotional shock or in-
jury—there is aivvays an outpour-
ing of hormones from the adrenal
glands. These hormones help the
body compensate for the stress, but
exactly how they do this is a
mystery.
l)r. Selye thinks that after re-
peated stresses the body becomes
exhausted and what he calls "an
adaptive disease" results. Why this
disease should take the form of
high blood pressure in one person
and arthritis in another is unknown.
But if the theory proves to be cor-
rect it will explain a basic unity
for seemingly different diseases,
which in turn may lead to better
treatments.

CAMERAMAN'S HELPERS? — Three tiny patients at the Texas
Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children offer plenty of good-
natured advice to Cameraman Bob Alcott shooting a motion picture at
the hospital in Pallas. Looking through the viewfinder of the Jamieson
Film Company employe's camera is six-year-old Donald Ray Mathews
of Lamesa. Chipping in with grins and comments are "Assistant Direc-
tors" (left 1 "Linda Kay Morehead, five, of Italy, Texas, and four-year-
old Deborah Jester of Dallas. These children and other patients at the
Scottish Rite Hospital supported by generous Texans participated in
a newly-completed film showing life at the big institution. Deborah is
a cerebral palsy victim. The Other children are recovering from polio.

Your family v.-ill b* enthusiastic about this combination of cake,
ice cream, and lightly browned meringue. It's an easy dessert to put
together for a family treat, and pretty enough to win compliments
from guests.
Packaged shortcake danties from your grocer's ready-to-eat cake
department are the starting point. These sponge cups, made from a
cookbook recipe, are just right in shape and size for individual servings,
and make it possible to put Alaskas together quickly for oven browning.

gathering lacked only 4 menjoers
a/ being complete A son-in-law
and a daughter-in-law were not
here, and two of the 18 grand-

And what maKes the event seem of
so much unpoi -a;xe is that the

here with their families Floyd.
Elm*) and Alton Lewis from Carls-
bad. N. M.; Doyle Lewis from
Knoxville. Term Sherman Lewis
from Sikeston, Mo ; Mrs Clara
Cochran and Mrs Hubert Nelson

Miller AidHtrs Edith WiUiford of
Brownafield, Mrs Edna Smith of
Wetumka, Okla: and Mrs. Lucille

Bams of Abilene was here
Four granddaughters served the
refreshments; Lynda Nelson and
Terry Lewis, and La Vesta Neteon

wedding cake was topped with a
miniature bride and groom. The
table was laid with a Lace cloth,
and the flowers were goldenrods
and sweet peas The register was
presided over by Mrs. Clara Coch-

noon. Present for the noon rwaal
were 46, and this was provided by
the children
