By KARL FLEMING Citizen Staff Writer SALUDA, July 9 The "austere oracle in an ivory tower who squalled out things in Latin" is a thing of the past in the medical profession, and doctors "have acknowledged their obligation to educate the public," about 100 physicians and medical students attending the 37th annual Southern Pediatrics Seminar were told here today. But Dr. William G. Crook, a practicing pediatrician of Jackson, said that medical schools Hill are not giving students "enough information on to treat people" in the public relations sense.

"Our public relations have been bad," Dr. Crook said. He asserted Is not enough for the pediatrician to treat ailmenls but that he must also "try to anticipate trouble" before it arises. This can be done, he said, by "educating" parents. Then he explained how he and Iwo partners operate a clinic in Jackson which maintains, among other services, a lending library, a pamphlet service and a file of magazine and newspaper clippings on child medical problems.

SHE WANTS ANSWERS "When a mother comes to us with a problem, we give her this information, tell her to read it and then ask us questions about her child," he said. Dr. Crook said this type of service is a "new responsibility" of the medical profession. Most mothers have "many, many questions" they want to ask their doctors, he said, and asserted that doctors have an obligation to supply answers. But there is the matter of lime.

Doctors have busy schedules and don't have the time to fully discuss every minor problem with a parent. Still, the parents desire answers to their questions. Dr. Crook said, and these answers can be partial ly provided through the type of written information his clinic has available to parents. Dr.

Crook said he "had "a I'l'le the missionary spirit" in this problem of educating parents. In another lecture today. Dr. Blair E. Batson.

professor of pediatrics in the University of Mississippi school of medicine, told the group that parents should be assured by doctors that a baby's having a heart murmur means only in a negligible number of rases that there is damage to the heart. MURMURS NOT FATAL Hence, he said, people should "get away from the idea that their child has to see a specialist because he has a murmur." A great majority of them can go to their family physicians, he said. "A lot of people have functional heart murmurs, a it doesn't mean a thins." he said. Or. Justin P.

Price, a practicing pediatrician of Florence. S. who lectured on child accidents. Mid that one of every three deaths among children between the ages one and IS years results from accidents. He said doctors hava a responsibility in educating parents shout accident preventive measures.

He also backed up the popular notion that some people, are more accident prone than others. "Every doctor knows certain kids who are going ot break a bone every year," he said. Other lecturers included Dr. Warren D. Quillian.

dean of the seminar and a faculty member of Miami University school of medicine: and Dr. Samuel F. Ravencl of Greensboro, N. a practicing pediatrician. They took part in a panel discussion of immunisation.

Dr. Quillian said most pediatricians are agreed that Salk vaccine, will prevent paralytic polio in from 80 to 90 per cent of immunized children and will greatly reduce all types of polio. The. three-weeks seminar, which opened yesterday, will continue with more lectures tomorrow. Jury Picked For Ellis Trial In Avery NEWLAND, July A Jury from neighboring McDowell County was selected in Avery Superior Court, today for the second trial of a former Mitchell County game warden on a manslaughter charge.

The hearing of evidence in the (rial of J. Wall Ellis is scheduled to start Monday. Ellis is accused of the shooting of Charlie Young, 47, of Bakcrsville, the night of April 6, 1955. At his first trial here the following December after the case Mas transferred from Mitchell County, Ellis was sentenced to four to seven years. But the Stale Court subsequently ruled that the trial judge erred In his charge In the jury, in granting a new trial.

Ellis has pleaded self-defense in the shooting. Judge B. Craven Jr. of Mnr-(tanlnn Ihn bench for the current criminal term. A group of Black Mountain citizens has disclosed plans to oppose a proposed drag race strip on Nichols Flying Service field two miles west of the town.

Charles E. Spencer, chairman of the group that has organized as the Black Mountain Township Protective Association, said the group will expressly oppose plans of Gene Sluder, owner of Asheville-Weavervillc Speedway and Wayne Waldrop, Asheville speed equipment and used car dealer, lo operate the field as a drag racing strip. He disclosed that the group has held two meetings one last week soon alter plans for the strip were announced a a second Monday night. At the Monday night meeting, some 40 persons attended. A vole taken showed 22 against the strip, 6 in favor of it.

Attending the meeting were both Sluder and Waldrop. Spencer said the vole was taken lo serve as a warning that an injunction might be used, if necessary, to prevent operation of the strip. He said opposition to the strip is based on moral grounds because youths would be brought in for "capital reasons rather than for any benefit to the youngsters." He charged that the "idea of automobile racing is a bad one." He said the traflic created on Sundays by operation of a strip would "considerably discommode" large numbers of people who come into and through Black Mountain for religious assemblies. With these sentiments, he said. I the group felt "in all fariness" it should make its stand known in advance.

Sluder and Waldrop have staled the racing would be done under closest supervision and rules of the Automobile Timing Association of America. The Stale Highway Patrol, however, has expressed its unwavering opposition to drag racing in any manner. Meetings, Events Asheville Calendar TODAY 12:43 p. m. Lions Club.

I feel I am getting a broader view of Christian truth. Is tljcre a reason why 1 prefer this when most people settle down? I It would be a sad day for the church if all members were like you. In lact there wouldn't be even a place for you to go then. God never intended to build His church out of the roaming type such as you are, but out of those who find their spiritual outlet and satisfaction through positive support and dependable attendance.

I doubt if any minister is thrilled when you attend his and 1 alo doubt if you are geltirg a broader view of the faith. Your view is essentially selfish lor you are thinking only of yourself. Jesus once said that "whosoever would save his life will lose it and whosoever would lose his life for my and fr the Gospel shall find it."

TEACHING COURSE i Stevens ft teaching a course on the social witness of the local church at. the annual School nf Missions of the Southeastern Jurisdiction Woman's Society of Christian Service.

The school began July 4 and will end Thursday. It is being' attended by about 250 WSCS leaders from nine Southeastern slates. Earlier today. Miss Stevens told the 41 members of her class that "probably the greatest need in the Methodist church today is for the leaders in high administrative authority to speak out on great social issues and at the same time safeguard the right of the min isters of the Methodist church to speak freely." "Sometimes I get so troubled by all the lovely platitudes," Miss Stevens said. "The church must learn the facts, take a stand and act on social issues.

WON'T BE SPARED "God will not spare this nation from the consequences of irresponsible policies into which church may lot the nation fall." Tonight. Dr. G. Ernest Thomas of Nashville. director of the Methodist spiritual life department of the Methodist Board of Evangelism, told the women "the most heart-breaking development in Ihc world of thought in the 20lh Century has been the slow death of man's hopes for peace.

"A generation ago, there were millions of people ot every nationality and race who believed that war could be outlawed or banished within their life-time. "In 1957, there are few groups which continue to foster such a hope. "But God's goal for the world is peace among the nations. Through darkness and despair, Christians will fix their eyes on the bright horizon of peace." A pledge service and anolher address by Dr. Thomas are on the Wednesday night program.

At the service, WSCS officers will pledge the amount which will he given in their respective conferences during the 1957-58 church year for foreign and home mis- ville Alcoholic Tax Unit agent, a long-time friend of the star. At Ihat lime, Milchum indicated he was considering buying a farm in this area and also was inspecting passible movie filming sites. The flim, il has been indicated, would be a msjor production with a million-dollar budget. Filming of the story here would add to the of top movies made in this area. "The Swan," starring Grace Kelly and Alee Guiness, was largely taken at B'Umore House in the fall of 1955.

"The Great Locomotive Chase," a Walt Disnev film, was shot in Macon County and upper Georgia in the winter or 1955. Earlier, "Tap Roots a Civil War film, starring Sut-an Hayward and Van Heflin, was made in the Asheville area. Scenes from "l'l Climb the Highest Mountain," starring Bill Lundigan and Susan Hayward, were, shot at Barber Orchards In S.iunook Community in Haywood several years ago. Control of Ihe smoke nuisance in fringe areas around Asheville should be sought on a voluntary basis rather than by enactment of a countywide ordinance, George E. O'Neal, city smoke abatement engineer, stated yesterday.

O'Neal made the recommendation in a report lo the Advisory Board on Smoke Abatement. The board had requested a survey of possible methods for reducing smoke nuisances in sections of Buncombe County just outside the city limits. O'Neal said that while several major cities have met the problem by securing countywide control ordinances, "cities the size of Asheville would not he justified in going to the expense of county control." Voluntary cooperation of plants in fringe areas will he sought instead. O'Neal said, with engineering services for smoke abatement offered free to cooperating plants. He reported that his department has recently purchased a portable machine for recording air pollu-1 tion, to be used on a year-round basis (or checking air pollution at various points in the city for a continuous record.

The city spent 18.1190.76 on garbage collections during the period for an increase of $6,100 over the same quarter in 1956. Average cost of picking up a cubic yard of trash went up to lit cents this year from 70 cents last year, and the average cost of burying the trash at the Riverside Drive sanitary landfill went up from Iwo cents to three cents. Workmen put in some 25.870 man-hours of labor in garbage collection during the quarter tor an increase of nearly 1,000 man-hours over the 1956 period. Strong emphasis on the spring clean-up campaign apparently accounted lor a major part of the increase. McMahan reported that department trucks hauled a record 6.30 loads of garbage and trash during the period.

are relying largely on aerial photography lo spot diseased trees. Areas of infestation are marked on the map, and the information is passed on to forest rangers in slate and national forests, or owners of private land. Aerial surveys are now being made here each three weeks. Unfortunately, entomolp gists say, there's nothing that can be done to save a tree once it has been attacked by pine beetles, However, the insects' depredations can be limited if infected trees are cut, and the area around the base Ihc trunk sprayed with BI1C oil, they explain. Occasionally, a pine tree is strong enough to survive attack by beetles, the specialists point out, but from 90 to 95 per cenl eventually die.

McCambridge said Ihe presence of pine bodies can be spoiled at a glance by dark brown needles in the evergreen tree.

Brown reported Uiat a S20 travelers check believed to have been taken from Pike was cashed Monday night in Rutherfordton. A two-slate alarm has been broadcast for the trio but no trace had been found of either the three robbers or the 1951 black Olds-mobile in which they were believed traveling. At present, McCambridge said, pine beetle damage is heaviest in WNC's westernmost counties, and Murphy is now regarded as one of the centers of thickest infestation in the Appalachians.

The insect also is active in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, he added. The pine beetle Is no newcomer lo the South, but was reported here as far back as the 1890's. bul Die present invasion now in its fifth year is the longest and most serious in history, the entomologists say. Later this month, representatives of national forests in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia; Ihc Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blue Midge Parkway, N. C.
