Music Trails Artists Achieve Successes
Alaska Music Trail patrons in Ko
diak, who have enjoyed the many
artists presented here, will be in
terested to know that the artists
have been enjoying spectacular
success during the past year.
Fifteen-year-old French violinst,
Regis Pasquier, here last Nov., gave
a debut recital in Town Hall, New
York City, early in Dec. following
his tour in Alaska. The New York
Times and The Herald Tribune
lauded his mastery of the violin
to large extent, and see promise of
his becoming a major artist.
Marilyn Horne, lyric soprano,
returned to Germany directly from
the Alaskan tour in the spring of
1960, and fulfilled her opera season
there. In mid-summer she returned
to Ios Angeles to marry Henry
Lewis, talented young American
conductor. Marilyn starred in the
San Francisco Opera’s premiere
production of “Wozzeck” last fall.
She is one of 4 or 5 singers in the
entire world who can perform this
difficult leading role. Critics
highly praied her performance.
She has just been honored as of
one of the Los Angeles Times Ten
Women of the Year for 1960.
Eva Gustavson, contralto, here in
Nov. 1957 is now in Norway to sing
15 “Carmens” at the Oslo Opera, to
be followed by an extensive tour.
The Kodiak audience will remem
ber her Habanera from “Carmen”.
Pianist, Jacob Gimpel, is so in
demand on the European concert
stage that he has taken his family
to live in Switzerland permanently,
while Glade Peterson, tenor, has
taken his family to Italy for a sea
son. Korean soprano, Joy Kim, who
appeared here with him, has re
cently returned from a concert tour
in South America.
Concerting in N. Y. late in 1960
were Richard Dyer-Bennet, folk
singer, and violinist Stanley Plum
mer. While this spring in San Fran
cisco, mezzo Nan Merriman, will be
heard as solist with the orchestra.
She will be in Kodiak in April to
perform for the Music Trail series.

is the only country that finds vic
tory just as expensive as defeat.”—

was introduced in 1913.

Eating Habits
Of Americans Lag
Women’s Club Told
The actual practice of good eat
ing habits by the American people
is far behind their knowledge
and leaves much to be desired.
This observation was made by
Mrs. Marian Lynch Kodiak Public
School nurse, who spoke to mem
bers of the Kodiak Business and
Professional Women’s Club at
their meeting at the Island Foun
tain Monday evening.
This was in contrast to their
advances made in knowledge of
nutrition, she said. Mrs. Lynch
drew from her first hand knowl
edge of public health, and gave
statistical reports on phases of
that service. Some of the subjects
she mentioned were ohanges in
the control of communicable di
seases; the infant mortality rate
and many other health problems.
Her talk brought increased knowl
edge of public health service to
her listeners.
Mrs. Elsie Batcheller, Mrs. Ruth
Breckberg, Mrs. Bernice Gregory
and Mrs. Yoshi were introduced
as new members.

ALLERGY IN INFANTS —
By Susan C. Dees, M. D.
Director, Pediatric Allergy Clinic
Duke University Medical Center
The allergic disorders, eczema
hives, hayfever, or allergic “colds,”
asthma, and gastrointestinal al
lergy often begin in the first few
months of life. Babies whose par
ents and very close relatives are
allergic apparently have a greater
chance of showing signs of allergy
at an early age, than those whose
families have few allergic mem
bers.
The earliest symptoms of al
lergy in an infant usually affect
the gastro-intestinal tract, and may
be spitting up, vomiting, bowel
upsets, abnormal or unusual stools,
colic, excessive crying. They are
most often caused by one of the
basic foods in the infant’s diet,
milk, cereals or egg. At a few
months of age, skin rashes, partic
ularly on the face, forehead, arms,
legs, may be the result of allergy
to foods. In older children these
rashes may also be due to inhaled
substances such as dust.
Allergic resipiratory symptons
usually appear during the second
six months of life. These are
chronic and recurring "colds,”
runny nose, violent sneezing spells,
nose rubbing, chronic cough,
wheezing or actual difficulty in
breathing. Sensitivity to household
dusts, and pets, feathers, molds,
—
infection and certain plant pollens
and other airborne allergens are
major causes, although foods may
also cause these symptoms.
the best treatment for allergy
is to discover the allergen trouble
maker, and to keep it away from
the infant or child. In some chil
dren a few weeks or months of
avoidence will result in loss of
sensitivity, and eventually a toler
ance will develop.
In some more sensitive children
the allergens must be avoided for
a long time, or indefinitely if
symptoms are to be prevented.
When this is the case with airborne
allergens which are difficult to
avoid, “allergy shots” are helpful.
This consists of a series of injec
tions of gradually increasing
strength to improve the child’s
tolerance, or decrease his sensi
tivity. Various medicines may also
be given to control symptoms and
to make the child comfortable.
Very few children spontaneously
outgrow allergy if they are con
tinually exposed to their allergens
in any significant degree.
Allergy is a great imitator, with
some of the minor complaints nor
many other disorders, and which at
times, do not differ much from
symptoms which are common to
mal healthy babies often have. It
is important for a mothr to report
her baby’s symptoms to her doc
tor, who can help her sort out
those which may be early signs of
allergy, to forest all future trouble.
