Plucky Stevie Helps Science
Toward Answer to Arthritis
Stevie Vardol gives blood sample to laboratory nurse.
For plucky Stevie Vardol, 10, life much of the time is
just an unhappy succession of giving samples of his body
to science. <s>-;
- But Stevie, who would rather
be swimming and roller skat
ing in Minneapolis (if he only
.could) than spending endless
'hours in the Children’s Rheu
matic Clinic of the University
•of Minnesota Medical School,
doesn’t feel sorry for himself.
Tie knows he is doing a job that
must be done: that the doctors’
appraisal of the tissue samples
from his swollen knees, speci
mens of knee-joint fluid, and of
his blood may in time prevent
in other children the affliction
■that befell him three painful
years ago.
Stevie has juvenile rheuma
toid arthritis in the knees,
hands, wrists.
* Throughout the nation, an
other 30,000 Stevies —or their
small sisters—also suffer each
year from this excruciating dis
ease. With March of Dimes
funds, The National Founda
tion (which made possible de
velopment of the Salk polio
vaccine) is today supporting
the University of Minnesota’s
Children’s Rheumatism Clinic
with a research grant. Other
arthritis research projects are
under way at the Rockefeller
Institute, at New York Univer
sity, the University of Buffalo
and at other famed scientific
institutions, all financed by the
March of Dimes.
Additionally, The National
Foundation has established
arthritis study centers at Co
lumbia University, the Univer
sity of Rochester (N. Y.), the
University of Texas at Dallas
and the University of Cali
fornia at San Francisco.
The doctors confidently tell
Stevie they will solve the
enigma of rheumatoid arthritis
in time, and find a preventive,
given enough support. But they
don’t delude this valiant little
boy or his puzzled father and
mother who ask, despairingly,
“Why should this happen to us,
to Stevie?” The medical scien
tists look him squarely in the
eye and say, “We just can’t
promise we’ll make you well
again. But then again, perhaps
eventually we will.”
Stevie’s stout answer is to
roll up his sleeve for another
ten cc’s of his blood (which
contains an abnormal protein,
a mark of his disease); or to
pull up his trouser leg to give
up another specimen of lubri
cating fluid from his knee.
In the laboratory, Stevie’s
blood is compared painstaking- j
ly to normal blood in the inces
sant search for an answer to
what is wrong with Stevie and
with the other 30,000 children.
Perhaps what is wrong is an
abnormal development of anti
bodies. Antibodies are the.sub
stance that combat bacteria.
Then, samples of the connec
tive tissue around his knees
are studied and photographed
under the giant electron micro
scope and compared to normal
tissue.
Stevie doesn’t cry although
his doctors say that the pain
he suffers at times beggars
description. He is not«a “guinea
pig” in the full medical sense
of the term. But the resolute
and uncomplaining bearing of
this young gentleman of only
10 is * evidence that he knows
he is a volunteer of the fight
against the nation’s No. 1 Crip
pler—arthritis which, in one or
another form,'strikes at 11 mil
lion Americans.

Safe Boating Easy
It’s the experienced—and often
over-confident — boatman who is
responsible for the bulk of boating
accidents, statistics accumulated
by the U. S. Coast Guard reveal.
Bearing this in mind, an execu
tive of Johnson Motors suggests
veteran skippers take a hint from
novices and check the safety of
both equipment and passengers be
fore launching their boats for a
cruise—whether it’s a mile or a
month in duration.
“Many boaters whose feeling for
the water is fear, when it should be
respect, are safer on a cruise be
cause they take the necessary pre
cautions before departing,” Kalb
fus explains. “It’s the overconfident
boatman who neglects these safety
procedures and invites trouble.”
•
Kalbfus underscores this belief
with the Coast Guard statistics: Of
the comparatively few (2,738) boat
ing accidents in 1960, almost half
(1,206) involved skippers who
claimed to have had 500 or more
hours of experience at the helm of
a boat. In contrast, operators with
less than 20 hours experience were
involved in only 174 cases.
The Coast Guard reported that
failure to take “ordinary safety pre
cautions” was the reason most fre
quently listed for fatal accidents,
and “personal fault” was the cause
usually given for accidents involv
ing injuries.
Be courteous and kind to others
—optimism and cheerfulness are
the world’s best tonic.
KING CRAB IS ALWAYS ROYALTY to the gourmet no matter
where he is caught or where he is eaten. Above is a scene in Anchor
age at the popular Hofbrau restaurant where each Wednesday they
feature all the king crab you can eat for $1. A different specialty is
offered each night, but the crab feed is the most popular, with a wait
ing line of people almost 200 feet long the usual rather than the ex
ception. General Manager Terry Taylor stated that a total of 10,000
pounds of crab have been served to date since they started the pro
motion. It is served from 5 to 9 p. m. Usual crowd is about 1,200
people.
Taylor stated that eleven Western states Hofbraus have been
franchised, and will serve king crab in the same way. Where to get
the king crab seems to be bothering him more than anything else.
Maybe Kodiak can supply the answer.
And by the way, Taylor’s name is being circulated on a petition
to run for mayor of Anchorage. Sounds like the crab eaters ought to
put him on the ballot.
