Anaheim Gazette by JOHN S. NEUBAUER 1950 DECEMBER 1950 NEWSLINES — Arthur Spitzer, the petroleum specialist, was quite an athlete in his high school and college days. Hank (Easy Ed) Siefkin, the Anaheimer, has the distinction of being the tallest man on Alex Omalev's Fullerton Jaysee basketball team. Don Ames, another Anaheimer, is one of the shortest. He stands five-eight in his stocking feet. Joe Bruce, who towers 6-2½ may see a lot of action with the Hornets this winter. Bill Grafton was an outstanding punter in his college days. The one-time Anaheim gridiron great, averaged 65 yards a boot. Billy Heger will vouch for that. Vincent Bruel has seen the Anaheim Fire Department grow some during the 55 years he has served as a fire fighter. Ray Buckner, the Anaheim sparks, Restrictions on Cloistered Nuns Eased by Vatican VATICAN CITY (P)—The centuries-old code governing the life of cloistered nuns has been relaxed to let them receive visitors and carry on some teaching, a Vatican source announced last night. The announcement, put out by the Vatican state secretariat, said this broadening of the traditional rules is designed to "make access to Apostolic life easier to cloistered nuns." The changes were listed under new "Apostolic constitution" (law) entitled "Sponsa Christi" (spouse of Christ). Some orders, the announcement said, will be permitted to maintain their present complete reclusion. Others will operate under the newly-created "minor papal seclusion." the constitution cited a "need to adapt the ancient contemplative life to the new requirements of the times" and set limits for modifications in present rules "to obtain better and more efficient results."

He wonders how some drivers can see so much better than others... Alex Brunn is one Anaheimer who might be called a truck doctor. He can doctor up any gas buggy and keep it rolling. PROFILES — George Spielman of the SQR store, is the type of experienced executive who will help Anaheim grow and prosper. He has learned from experience—the best teacher—and his "know how" in department store merchandizing will make it possible for Anaheim shoppers to do better in the critical times that lie ahead. Anaheim is indeed fortunate that men like George Spielman are connected with Anaheim firms. CUFFNOTES—Ted Palmer and John Schultz will take the Sunset League tennis honors this year. They made their way to the semifinals of the Southwest Prep Tennis tourney, dominated by Santa Monica's Jim Read and Allen Cleveland... Don Adkins who is quite an athlete himself, is Valencia high's best praise agent...

Lad Likes Snakes; Takes Pair Home PHILADELPHIA (P)—The lad of ancient Sparta who carried a fox under his mantle until it gnawed out his stomach has little on a Philadelphia boy who just likes snakes. The Quaker City Spartan carried off two of the city zoo's prize reptiles—one of them dangerous—under his sports jacket. Zoo curator Roger Conant announced Sunday that a ball python and an emerald tree boa, both over a yard long and two inches thick, had been stolen. The boa, Conant warned, has sharp teeth and bites when stirred up. The announcement rang a bell with a Philadelphia father. He had noticed his son's snake collection was growing. He called the zoo and told them where the snakes were. The boy explained he slipped into the reptile cages on two occasions, stuffed the python on his first visit and the boa on the other under his jacket and went home—by trolley. FIREPROOF TREE Several commercial products now on the market will fireproof and prolong the life of the average Christmas tree. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends the use of ammonium sulphate dissolved in water, using one and one-half pints for each pound of ammonium sulphate used. After sawing off the tree stem, set the tree in this solution in a cool spot until most of the solution is absorbed. If the ammonium sulphate or commercial product is not available, an application of a standard hormone spray, the same that is used to prevent fruit and bud drop, will help prevent the tree from drying and dropping needles. Walter Taylor is busier than the proverbial beaver taking care of his lumber business and his civic obligations. Joe Anton will PREDICTION—It won't be long before Anaheim feels the pinch of the impending war economy. A lot of things may not be rationed, but they'll be just as hard to get. NEWSDIARY — James Roy Smith, the aquatic coach of champions, has a new champion—a husky nine-pound boy. He'll probably carry on the Smith tradition. Papa Smith has coached 117 championship teams. And he took time out from his coaching activities to be a lieutenant commander. George Schnalble, an Anaheim aircrafter, was injured in an early morning accident in Norwalk t'other day. Deane Anderson, the Anaheim softballer, is a proud papa of a baby daughter. OUR 35-YEAR EXPERIENCE IN WATCHMAKING IS YOUR GUARANTEE Walter Taylor is busier than the proverbial beaver taking care of his lumber business and his civic obligations. Joe Anton will tell you that most businessmen devote much more time to civic enterprises than to their personal undertakings—that's why Anaheim is the city it is. Most business leaders give unselfishly of their time and "know how." REMEMBER—It's a fact that you can't get something for nothing; but that doesn't keep a lot of folks from trying. The hassles over the Hallowe'en parade are getting a little tiresome to a lot of people since the overwhelming concensus seems to be that the last Hallowe'en celebration was a pretty good deal put on by a large group of public spirited Anaheimers. It should be reported, however, that civic groups have been approached and asked to "protest" to the City Council that "entry fees for floats in the parade should be eliminated." In the interest of accuracy and fair play it must be reported that there is no truth to the statement. Parade officials of the past several years say there never has been a charge for a float or any other entry in the parade. And, there is no move afoot to begin such a charge next year.

He had supervise recruiting of German soldiers to be integrated as part of the North Atlantic Organization (NATO) in Europe. Under the scheme these units would in the next three years be equivalent strength of divisions. The units—4000 to 600 men each—would be scattered through the combined West forces manning a defense line from the Arctic to the Aegean sea. The commissioner would be required to make certain that the formation of German units would not inspire a revival of German militarism. The proposed commissioners job would not conflict with the functions of the NATO supreme commander—a post which has been offered to U. S. General Dwight Eisenhower.

BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Reporter CLEVELAND (AP)—Ah almost skinless man, 70 per cent of his skin burned away by fire, was saved from death by the wonder hormone ACTH, the American Medical Association was told today. It was a near miracle that he lived. Loss of half your skin is almost always a painful death sentence. But there were six other near miracles, an exhibit and pictures by Dr. M. James Whitelaw of Pheonix, Ariz., showed. The man was freed from dreadful pain. He escaped shock and poisoning. He had relatively little scarring. He escaped crippling of muscles that comes from contracted scar tissue, and he survived pneumonia and appendicitis. Perhaps most miraculous of all, grafted skin from other persons took: root and spread on his own body. This kind of successful grafting, except in identical twins, is something new in medical history. The man is T. C. Gains, son of a rancher near Parker, Ariz., who is scheduled to make personal appearances at the fourth clinical session of the AMA this week. His recovery, and that of a few other burned people since, holds out promise of a new treatment in burns. Burns are one of the most common, and most serious, of battlefield wounds. He ran, beat out the flames. His whole body, above the belt, front and back, his buttocks, right leg and hands were severely burned. His left leg, arms, face and neck were burned less badly. No one else knew how to drive Gains' truck. He took the wheel himself, painfully drove 40 miles to the Colorado river Indian hospital in Parker. He collapsed at the doorway. Doctors, one a relative, gave him blood plasma, penicillin, painkilling morphine, and vaseline dressings. Gains, his conditions seemingly hopeless, grew worse. He was flown 150 miles to Santa Monica's hospital in Phoenix, 24 hours after the accident. Dr. Whitelaw began giving four daily small injections of ACTH, the hormone from the pituitary gland, made by Armour and Company. ACTH is one of two hormones that relieve arthritis and have shown amazing results in many kinds of sicknesses. Then came the surprises. Gains' pains disappeared, though he got no other medicines. His state of semi-shock vanished, and he became "a normal man—only without much skin," said one physician. His first and second degree burns began to heal. He contracted pneumonia on the eighth day, but pulled through with penicillin aid. On the 27th day, the skinless muscles of his right leg still were exposed to air, but Gains stood up for pictures of his progress. On the 42nd day, island of new skin began to grow on badly burned parts of his body. Healing in these parts was completed by 92 days. On day 47, Gains was operated on for appendicitis, but recovered normally. He still was getting ACTH, but it did not seem to delay wound healing, as some researchers reported it may. Gains received ACTH for 92 days, getting a total of about one seventh of an ounce of the precious hormone, costing some $700. Production of the hormone is increasing, but still falls short of the many uses doctors want to put it to. Gains' story has a completely happy ending. He was married two weeks after he left the hospital. The State of Oregon has launched a $10 million program to get Oregon's 750,000 acres of state forest land under full protection.
