Off The Record. Comments By T. H. Pearce If you take the trouble tfr read the newspapers and news magazines closely, as well as listen to various newscasts, you may be be aware of some of the Insidious results of the Supreme Court Ruling some months back, which for all prac tical purposes, did away with any type of religious observ ance in our schools. For Instance these following bits were taken from articles appearing nationwide last week. Read these carefully and see If you can Imagine anything that makes less sense. "It seems that the only dis pute In various Departments of Education throughout the coun try was whether or not the re ligious aspect of Christmas could be eliminated or played down." "The New York State Educa tion Department said school Christmas activities should be conducted as historical exer cises and teachers should not attempt to draw religious con notations from them." In Colorado some schools soft pedalled the religious motif this year. A Denver Junior high ad ded a Buddhist hymn to the us ual carols." "One Colorado principal said his school would have a holiday program rather than a Christ mas program, because his school Is an educational Insti tution, not a religious one." Now folks I'll Just tell you what Is a fact, when the citi zens of this country start think ing of ways to do away with the religious aspect at Christ mas simply because It Is the whim of a bunch of nuts who are laughingly known as the 8upreme Court, then It must be later than we think and this country has already pretty well eased over the line into Com munism. Christmas a historical exer cise? Teachers not expected to draw religious connotations from them! For pity sakes let's not be hypocrites. I think everyone has the right to be lieve or not to believe as they see fit, but please, Supreme Court or not, let's not dese crate the Idea of Christmas. If anyone wishes to Ignore the day altogether, that's their privilege, but either forget a bout It altogether or observe It as It should be. None of this Idea of relegating It tq, the po sition of a historical observ ance. Supreme Court to the con trary, It Is Impossible to take the religious connections out of Christmas. It simply can not be done. Next thing on the list of ab surdities I presume, will come at Easter time when It stands to reason that they will want to celebrate only on behalf of the Easter Bunny, leaving out all reference to religion. Then, of course, I guess they ytll say that the Bible can only be considered for Its value as a history book and that any ref erence^ religion in connection to It is lWal. I'm just as much opposed to sectarian teachings In our school as anyone you could find, and 1 would fighk for a man's right to believe in\no religion as much as to worship any he pleases, but If the kia^ln this country are in danger oK hav ing their minds warped by sam ple Christmas programs su^h as they used to put on In schools^ then God help us all, especially the Supreme Court. I Doctor Talk By Ben B. Scott, M. D. A very common aliment seen among people of all ages, from early adulthood on, ts bursitis of the shoulder. There are many variations or graduations of Involvement. As the name Implies, bursitis represents an lnflamatory pro cess of the bursa, which Is en capsulated area confining the structures of a Joint, Including the tendon insertions. As al ready stated, the shoulder Joint area ts the area most frequent ly affected. Symptoms arise usually as a localized pain at the lateral or outer aspect of the upper arm, where It joins the shoulder joint. Another characteristic feature is a limitation In ab duction, that Is, the raising of the arm in an outward-upward motion of the body. This restriction encountered in moving the arm is caused by sudden onset of a sharp, se vere pain. In addition to pain from motion, a dull aching pain can very often be associated with a bursitis. Treatment for this condition depends upon several factors, with any individual case. There are In general, three types of in volvement- -the early or acute phase, the sub-acute phase and the old, chronic cases, which have become well established over a long period of time. Very often, as a precipitating factor, a fluid calcium deposit develops along the tendon sheaths which Insert Into the shoulder joints. Just why there is a strong predilection for the deposition of calcium at this particular site Is not entirely understood. However, Its presence can de finitely be established by two methods. Being radio-opaque, its presence can be discovered readily through a routine X-ray of the shoulder joint. The fluid substanco can also be aspirated The perfect gift for the Christmas Holiday. . .

Aspiration of this fluid some times brings about a decided re mission of the inflamatory pro cess. There are many methods of treatment, the effectiveness of which varies with the indivi dual. Another very effective form of treatment, particularly in those cases which are detected early, is direct lrraditton under controlled supervision of a ra diologist ? usually requiring from three to five treatments every other day. Sometimes an effective cure can be brought about with the use' of medications and the ap plication of local heat. The im portance of early treatment cannot be overemphasized and the success or effectiveness of treatment is usually propor tional to its relationship with prompt discovery of the bur sitis. their obvious lack of p cal stamina.
