Oklahomans Take Their
Legal Liquor Soberly
OKLAHOMA CITY. UP— Okla
homans took their legal liquor
soberly -yesterday.
* Curiosity stood in for jubila
tion as almost 500 liquor stores
opened their doors. Sooners
bought their jugs in public for the
first time since statehood in 1907.
There was no singing, no danc
ing in the streets.
A state tax commission official
reported sale of liquor stamps in
August netted Oklahoma close to
four million dollars.
A Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union leader said “We don’t
need the taxes. Nobody needs
anything that comes from the
devil.”
Five times the wets failed to
repeal prohibtion in statewide
election.
But last April they mustered
the strength, 396.845 to 314,380.

Army Discontinues
Troop Rotation Between
Europe and the U.S.
WASHINGTON, The Army
has dropped its much-heralded
troop rotation program without
any fanfare or even an explana
tion.
“Operation Gyroscope”—a sys
tem of rotating Army units be
tween Europe and the United
States — was started with much
ceremony in January 1955. At that
time, the 1st Infantry Division in
Germany changed places with the
10 th Infantry Division at Ft.
Riley, Kan.
Later the Army cooled off on
the idea of rotating divisions and
it limited exchanges to battle
groups, battalions and lesser
groups.
And, without giving any reason,
it announced yesterday it would
drop the program. From now on,
four-man teams will be trained
and sent to Europe, where they |
will be assigned to companies |
that need replacements.

Drugs and Athletics
Recently the American Medical Association felt obliged to con
demn the use of pep-up pills to improve an athlete’s performance in
the running, jumping and swimming events common to college ath
letic contests. Doctors were warned that use of these drugs, called
amphetamines, was questionable ethically and medically unsound.
Another athletic medical prac- ^
tice which is frowned upon is the
use of the very safe and effective
anesthetic, novocaine, to deaden
pain in a joint which has been
injured. Although the athlete so
treated may be able to continue
on the playing field for a consid
erable period, the pain which
has been deadened was intended
to warn him of the danger of
continuing to put pressure upon
the injured joint or muscles.
It is often asked why pain con
tinues after the warning has
been issued. Why, when the pa
tient with an ankle sprain has
gone home, put the ankle up
and wrapped it in compresses,
does it continue to hui't? Why
doesn’t nature arrange matters
so that it would only hurt if
moved or if weight were put upon
it?
Unfortunately, doctors believe,
nature is capable of fooling her
self. An injury to muscles or a
joint almost invariably causes
the muscles to contract, causing
a painful spasm. The nerves re
port this pain and the central
nervous system then interprets
this muscle-spasm pain as a
fresh injury which, in turn, pro
duces more spasm, and more pain
in a truly vicious circle.
One way to cope with this
problem is conditioning or train
ing. Muscles which have been
gradually accustomed to strenu
ous activity and even pummeling
are less likely to panic than those
which are subjected to extra
strain. By the time the doctor
sees the victim of muscle or joint
injury, however, the time for
conditioning is long past. The
I 1
1___JZH
physician then needs a drug to
end the spasm-pain-spasnrcycle.
A number of muscle relax
ants have been developed, but
recently one was reported which
has the added property of reliev
ing pain. Named Soma, for its
action on the body’s muscles and
joints — soma is the Greek word
for body - the new drug appears
to be tailor-made for the kind of
aches and pains that over-ex
erted, under-prepared flesh is
heir to.
The drug also interests re
searchers because its pain-reliev
ing action is completely different
from that of morphine and its re
latives and from that of aspirin
and aspirin-like drugs. Soma, a
prescription drug, eases pain
without diminishing alertness.
This should be helpful, since an
ounce of alertness to the hazards
of ftver-exertion is obviously
■worth several pounds of curative
medicines.

Father Hubbard
Completes Another
I Summer in Alaska
i
SEATTLE, (tfl—The Rev. Ber
nard R. Hubbard, S. J. — the
“Glacier Priest” — is back once
more from Alaska, still the eager
explorer at 70 and still as out
spoken as ever.
A stroke that left him partial
ly paralyzed four years ago hard
ly slowed him down. He was also
stricken soon after the stroke with
pneumonia, pleurisy and throm
bosis of the lungs.
“I should have kicked off,” he
says.
But he missed just one year of
exploration among his glaciers.
And this past summer he con
tinued the glacier readings that
have been his_ career for 33 years.
Father Hubbard, who looks 30
years younger than he is, spent
the summer months aboard the
cruise ship Sea Otter.
He took along two students
from the University of Santa
Clara, Calif., where he is a fac
ulty member.
Retirement? Don’t mention the
word.
“I’ve accumulated 1,500,000 feet
of film in 30 years, plus more
than 2,000 pictures,” he says.
“They are all uncatalogued.”
Father Hubbard was an out
spoken opponent of Alaska state
hood. He still is.
“We’re stuck with statehood,
now,” he said. “Alaska is just i
going to have to exist as a slave
state to federal spending until it
gets a big enough population to
support itself.
“So far the only ones who have
profited from statehood are the
politicians,” he added with a grin.
Father Hubbard may be critical
of the young state but his love
for Alaska is not diminished.
“I’m heading back, probably
next year,” he said.

VANCOUVER, B.C., UP>—North
ern Affairs Minister Hamilton
said Monday the federal gov
ernment is preparing the ground
work for the Yukon and North
west Territories to become pro
! vinces.
He said the government is set
! ting up the laws and administra
tion of the territories in such a
manner that it will be easy for
any government to take over.
He added that the recent offer
By Premier Bennett of British
Columbia to take over part of the
territories was a “bit premature.”
Hamilton will go to Fairbanks
this week where he will attend
the Pacific Northwest Trade con
ference.
He said he hopes to discuss nor
thern development problems with
Gov. Egan and other northern
representatives.
Some of the problems he ex
pected to raise were Canadian
access to the sea through the Al
askan Panhandle, an American
right-of-way to Alaska and co
ordination of power development
in Alaska and the Yukon.
He said the Peace River district
of B.C. has tremendous industrial
potential.
