With half .ne women being eliminated in the first round of Match Play on the 29th of June, Tuesday's round found the excitement mounting in this important four-week event. Judy Smithson and Alvina Yopp went the full 18 only to remain tied. The extra hole found A1 bowing to Judy as Judy parred the extra hole to Al's bogie. Hit was Floss O'Connell over Betty Phelan at the end of fourteen and Mil Leisten over Laverne Harpling on the same hole. A real tiger of a match took place between Nell Fidler and Anna Johnson and wasn't concluded 'til five extra holes were played. Finally on the fifth extra Nell dropped a par putt to win over Anna's bogie. Incidently, it was Nell's day. She had low net (70) and low putts (27) in Class A - played up a storml In Class B Kris Newkirk defeated Mabel Smith, Nancy Wilkins downed Carla Wright, Gloria Ott defeated Sue Martin and Barb Weber took Dot Christiansen* Kris took the honors of low putts and low net in her class. She had a net 72 and 29 putts. Class C found Gen Hoelscher taking Barb Leight, Eleanor Kreuser over Marge Blomquist,, Carol Seese over Betty Smith and Jean Remke over Betty Wayman. Jean and Virginia Spengel tied for low net of 73 in Class C while Dee Chelini had low putts with 30 for the 18 holes. Running concurrently with the 18-holers, the Nifty Niners were having the same ex­ citement in their Match Play tournament. It was Maryanne Cristy over Dorothy Flynn, Toots Gersted over Pat Sullivan, Dorothey Hollander over Lorraine Young and Esther Sturm over Jo Horne. Incidently, one of the Niners who will soon be moving into the 18 hole group, Dorothy Hollander, missed the green on her drive to the 8th, landing near the sand trap. Undaunted by being a bit wide of her target, Dorothy pitched her approach into the cup for a deuce. Wouldn't it be nice if that were iroutine for all of us?

The addition of the emergency physicians will enable Memorial hospital to expand medical services prov ided the public'. They will assist in training Rescue squad members and hospital per­ sonnel. Now that the hospital has physicians on duty full time, Hanson advises the public to come to the Emergency department for emergencies and for those situations where outpatient service is prudent. "We anticipate a growing number of outpatient cases which are not classed as emergencies," concluded Hanson. "We have found in the past a growing number of people are turning to Memorial hospital for medical help during off-hours, so this new program is aimed at meeting the demands of the public." Hanson also noted that although the Emergency room specialists are on duty, the Memorial hospital medical staff will serve on a backup basis should multiple emergency situations develop.

GEORGE WASHINGTON COULDN'T BLAME HIS TROUBLES ON THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION. eJ Keepin' Healthy by Mary Richards Each year, hundreds of Illinois women are innocent victims of the crime of rape. In the past, the tragedy of rape was often compounded when the victim experienced dif­ ficulty in obtaining proper medical attention at a hospital emergency room: Some emergency rooms, in fact, declined to provide any treatment at -all to sexual assault victims/ Due to the disparities in treatment offered by hospitals, and because of the nature of the crime, the Illinois Department of Public Health felt it was important to have legislation that would require stan­ dardized procedures for Illinois hospital emergency rooms to follow in the treatment of rape cases. The Rape Victims Emergency Treatment act, signed into law last August, provides this kind of legislation. Under this law, all hospitals which are licensed by the state Health department and which provide general medical and surgical services, must also provide emergency services to rape victims. The law also sets forth guidelines which must be followed in treating a rape victim. Hospitals are required to perform certain medical examinations; administer appropriate tests for venereal disease, infection and pregnancy. The hospitals are also required to give the patient oral and written information regarding the proper treatment for venereal disease infection. Perhaps the most beneficial provision of this law, however, is the requirement that rape victims be given appropriate psychological counseling by the hospital. The psychological trauma of rape is obvious, and the emotional scars often remain with a woman long after the physical damage has healed. Psychological coun­ seling will help a rape victim deal with the shock and will also provide her with emotional support through the examination and treatment at the hospital. Specific treatment for rape victims is mandated by the law. The law also provides that the state Health department reimburse the hospital for the cost of treating a rape victim You And Your Pet (By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. In jnany cases, respiratory infection is the most troublesome pet disease a cat owner has to deal with. Cats are notoriously susceptible to respiratory disease, although in adult cats mortality is low and full recovery can usually be expected. Respiratory disease has some unpleasant effects, however, and can impair growth in kittens and breeding performance in adult cats. Here are some key points you should be aware of in dealing with feline respiratory infection: In cats, respiratory disease is a "complex" - a condition that can be caused by at least three different viruses and one parasitic organism. Sometimes these agents work in com­ bination and so weaken the cat that it becomes susceptible to secondary bacterial diseases. Feline respiratory agents are transmitted through the air, and infect the cat by way of the oral and nasal passages. After recovery, cats may be temporarily immune to respiratory disease, but the period of resistance is brief, usually only a few months: The disease is especially severe in colonies or groups of cats because infection cir­ culates among individual anirtials. Single household cats have a better chance of who is not covered for such services by private insurance or public aid. The treatment guidelines were issued to Illinois hospitals in February of this year. Hospitals were advised to submit their plans for treat­ ment of rape victims to the Illinois Department of Public Health for approval. To date, nearly sixty hospitals have been designated as rape treatment centers. It is hoped, through this program, rape victims in Illinois will receive the physical and emotional care they need in order to recover fully from the shock and trauma of sexual assault. If you want more information about the Rape Treatment program, write to Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Emergency Medical Services, 535 West Jefferson Street, Springfield, II., 62761. recovery without repeated infection. Signs of respiratory disease include sneezing, fever, discharge from the nose and eyes, and ulcers on the eyes and tongue. Sores affecting the oral" cavity can inhibit the cat's aippetite." The infection may last from 5 days to a month or more. Weight loss during the course of disease may be severe. How is respiratory disease treated? Supermarket or home remedies Will probably be of little benefit. As with all pet disease, you should consult a veterinarian. He may use an antibiotic to deal with bacterial agents that can be involved. The veterinarian may also administer supportive fluids in cases of dehydration, or dispense a medicated eye ointment. During and after treatment, it is important to protect the convalescent cat from physical stress of all types. Preventive vaccines have recently become available for feline respiratory disease. It is important to remember that several agents can cause this type of infection in cats. A vacinne for one such organism may not prevent one of the other forms of respiratory infection. Also as its immunity declines, a vaccinated cat can again become susceptible. As vaccines of this type are perfected jmd become more widely accepted, vaccination for respiratory disease may become part of the standard feline disease prevention program that now includes distemper and rabies vac­ cination. Your veterinarian can advise you in this regard. By all means, consult him if you have specific questions or if this prevalent disease occurs in your cat. Dr. Stear regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. !
