Youth's Room a Sheik Sanctuary
By AILEEN SNODDY, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
NEW YORK —(NEA) —Clutter seems to be an integral part
of a young man’s milieu. A boy’s inquisitive mind leads him
to collect and zealously guard such finds as snakes, rocks,
Indian flints, records, magazines and banners.
Once he reaches his teens, though, a youth suddenly looks
around, begins to “neaten up,” so to speak, spending hours
in front of a mirror. He might tuck in his shirttail and cer
tainly insist on an even more private sanctuary.
A make-over of a youth's room to meet his demands starts
with corralling the clutter. A classic example of this was
done by professionals for the son of a magazine editor. There
is little reason why other mothers can’t pick the experts’
brains for free.
Jock Casey, 18, is the son of Mrs. Kathleen Aston Johnson,
editor-in-chief of Glamour. His rectangular, 14 x 19-foot bed
room redecorated is a study-sitting room.
The house in Bronxville, N.Y., had some interesting archi
tectural problems since it originally was built as a three-story
hall for a private school for girls. It now is a two-story home
and its high-ceilinged living room once was a small gym
nasium.
Two major problems faced the decorators—complete lack
of organization of furniture, books, trophies, records and
antique guns. One wall is almost a solid bank of French door
type windows while another wall has one large window out
of kilter with the wall.
The redecorating plan involved a dynamic color scheme of
black and white with a dash of orange and a great deal of
pattern from wallpaper, fabric and animal skins. To make
the most of the awkward windows, the walls and window
shades were covered with opposing patterns—a chevron on
the wall and striped wallpaper and matching windowshades
opposite.
A storage wall unit near the arched doorway leading to a
hall houses most of Jock’s records, books, portable television,
phonograph with a clean-lined desk set at a right angle to
.the wall. , ,
Twin beds were set at right angles with one bqd slipping
under a corner bed table. The beds are covered with a white
cotton dr'JUloth with black tailored dust ruffles. Additional
color fills t :e room, especially on sunny days, hy way of glass
forms and va <es filled with colored liquid set on the bed table.
‘Miss Mil* Leaves Politics To
Young And Tends Her Watermelons
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPD—"Miss Mit”
Talmadge. once one of Geor
gia’s leading campaigners, has
decided to leave politics to the
young people and tend her wa
termelons.
The 84 - year -old mother of
Sen. Herman Talmadge and
widow of former Gov. Eugene
Talmadge spends most of her
time on her 1,200-acre farm,
“Sugar Creek”, near Mcßae,
Ga.
“I’m trying to plant water
melons now,” she said. “But
it’s so dry I can’t get anything
to come up.”
Son Herman is the politician
in the family these days and
his future “looks good,” said
Miss Mit, the nickname given
her by her late husband.
Secure in Senate
“Everybody in Georgia is
Talmadge,” she said. “It looks
like he won’t have opposition.
And that’s what we want.
“Herman (pronounced “Hum
mon”) doesn’t have any time for
politicking. He’s too busy mak
ing food.”
The “food” Miss Mit was re
ferring to was “food for the
world. The President says
we’ve got to feed the world.
Some of the nations say they’ll
pay us back but they don’t.”
A typical day in the life of
Miss Mit begins at 6 a.m.
"I get up at six o’clock. By
seven I’m out in the fields tend
ing the garden,” she said.
“Most of the land is in conser
vation now. You can’t make
any money just farming these
days.”
Miss Mit said she comes in at
sundown, watches the news on
television (“that’s all I care a
bout”) and is in bed by 9 jKm’.”
“I feel as good as I did when
I was 50,” she said: “The se
cret is plenty of exercise and
lots of good food.”,
Misses the City
Miss Mit, whose tanned face
and trim figure confirm her
philosophy, lives alone at Sugar
Creek and admits she misses
friends in Atlanta.
“I get there every once and a •
while to see our old friends,”
she said. “I go to Washington
about once a year to see Her
man, too. But I don’t like it. It’s
too crowded. I like the wide
open spaces.”
Herman doesn’t like Washing-|
ton either, said Miss Mit. “Butl
that’s where his job is. He does
right well, too.”
The Talmadge matriarch is
credited with convincing her son
to stay in Washington rather
than return to Georgia to run
for governor last year.
During the 1962 gubernatorial
campaign, she was courted by
Democratic candidates Carl
Sanders, Garland Byrd and
Marvin Griffin—but she denied
them her support.
“Herman told me not to poli
tic for anybody but him,” she
said then.
Miss Mit, bom Mattie Thur
mond at Edgefield, S.C., Nov. 7,
1882, came to Georgia as a
young woman. She married Eu
gene Talmadge in 1909 after her
first husband died. Besides Her
man, she has a daughter, Mrs.
|l
Scott Shepherd of Mcßae. Two
other children have died.
“I've got 10 grandchildren and
four or six great-grandchildren

Measles Fight
Is Paying Off
By CHARLES S. TAYLOR
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPD—An unpre
dented national effort to eradi
cate measles in 1967 is paying
off, and medical authorities
hope that by the end of the
year there will be only a hand
ful of cases.
Through use of a live .. virus
vaccine licensed in 1963; (here
has been a dramatic reduction
in the number of measles cases
in the United States this year.
In the first 12 weeks there
were 25,029 cases reported to
the national Communicable Di
sease Center here, compared
with 125,918 for the comparable
period of 1966—100,000 fewer
cases.
The CDC launched a nation
wide mass immunization pro
gram against measles early in
1967 and set as its goal eradi
cation of the disease by the end
of the year. ■ ■
Aimed at Children
More than 2,500 health groups
in 2,000 counties are cooperat
ing in the program to vaccinate
all children between one and
eight years of age, according
to Dr. R, Bruce Dull, assistant
director of the CDC, coordinat
ing force in the effort.
Dull said about 20 million
doses of measles vaccine have
been given to susceptible chil
dren. There are about 8 to 10
million children the CDC hopes
WW be vaccinated by Septem
ber, when the new school term
begins.
Dull said vaeqine was es
sentially 100 per ceht’’effective.

The aim of the program is to
immunize the millions of sus
ceptible children so that the
measles virus has no place to
go. When this happens, the di
sease will die out, Dull said.
“We will reach the point of
nearly complete eradication this
fall,” Dull said. “There may be
a case or two in certain areas,
but that’s all.”
First Such Effort
He said it was the first time
a national effort has been made
to eliminate a particular di
sease in a single year. “The
polio campaigns in the early
1960 s were similar,” he said,
“but they were over several
years.”
“Our biggest problem is con
vincing people that measles is
not a simple childhood disease
—that it is a serious disease
that can lead to such compli
cations as encephalitis, middle
ear infection, deafness, blind
ness, pneumonia and even men
tal retardation.”
The measles vaccine was de
veloped by Dr. John F. Enders
of Harvard University. Since it
was licensed, reported measles
cases dropped from 458,003 in
1964 to 261,904 in 1965 and last
year to 202,886.
