Nfld. Harpist Enjoys Reaction :'.7,'f British Audiences At Show

By Mu-lal Nan-away - Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON (OP) - Harpist Carla Emerson of St: John's. Nfld-. cps ” moot of her London theatre career below or behind the stage.

She's playing now in the orches- tra pit at the Casino where the hit Broadway musical "Wish You! Were Here" seems destined for a long run despitc critics' disappro- val of its frank approach to "neck- ing" and similar boy-girl frolics.

London theatres book their own orchestras for musicals, and Miss Emerson will be at the Casino for. the entire run.

Playing in the pit instead of on the stage has its compensations. says the slim, dark musician. Miss Emerson, who came here in 1950 and since then has P15YEd in theatres throughout Britain, says it is surprising how different the faces of the audiences in Edm- burgh. Leeds and Swansea can be. -,

Lots of Work

She spent most of 1952 touring from south of London to Gla580W and Edinburgh in a variety show "So This Is Show Business." she was accompanist to a singer, but played from behind scenes.

"They have to pay more if they allow you on stage." Miss Emerson said with a grin. "But it was fun." There were plenty of parties throughout the tour and bookings were for one week in each town with one week off in every four.

"It was a wonderful opportunity to see Britain with expenses paid."

Miss nnsraon was lucky her first year here. six rmntha sitar ahe arrived she landed the Job of second harp in an orchestra. bound for a tour of the United States. so she was soon back in North America touring New York to New Orleans and Chicago and all points between.

When the tour ended-she went home for Christmas and returned to London in January. This will be her first Christmas in London. With odd dates in I Leeds string group and the orchestra of a ballet company she has been pretty busy since she decided harp playing was her business. She said "What I've done sounds fine on paper but it's not worth a string of beans to the conductors of well-known orches- tras."

Asked why she picked such a career, she replied that her grand- mother played the harp. Miss Emerson started at 17 and studied for two years at a New York school of music to earn a diploma.

A man was tuning in on the radio, when he got a sudden twinge of pain in his back.

HEART DISEASE IN CHILDREN

You have heard frequently about childhood'a greatest enemy, rheu- matic fever. It gets its name be- cause so many youngsters have at- tacks of rheumatic fever and. in certain cases. the heart is dam- aged with each attack. So many young children and young adults have been dying of heart disease following attacks of rheumatic fever that throughout the world a vigorous fight is being fought by physicians to prevent what is call- ed "strap" hlu-oat because it is caused by the streptococcus organ- isms. If attacks of strep throat can be prevented, it naturally follows that rheumatic fever can be pre- vented and. following this. heart disease of this type can be pre- vented, In its daily fight against heart disease, the American Heart Association has had its research workers throughout the world study heart disease in children and has issued a booklet under the title "Heart Disease in Children." The booklet states: "We can do more to help or heal children with heart disease than was flhouglht ,ossible two dozen years ago and studies now under way hold even more hope for the future.

Most heart disease in childhood is the result of rheumatic fever. which usually begins between the ages of five and fifteen. Unfortunaltely, rheumatic fever steals so quietly over the child that parents and. sometimes, physicians do not recognize it until it has launched its attack and has done some ldamag the heart. "There is no specific test for diagnosing rheumatic fever. It often in such a mild form that the patient doesn't look or feel particularly ill." Also, it may lie dormant or quiet for a time and then suddenly flare up in a more severe form. And even when the infection is inactive, it may occur after a mild streptococcal infection of the throat or tonsil and each time it may (but not always) cause damage to the heart. . How many parents suspect and so prevent rheumatic fever? "Most attacks of rheumatic fever are preceded two or ilhree weeks by a streptococcal infection sore throat, scarlet fever, infection or middle ear and tonsilitis. If we can protect the child from strspiomccal infections. then we can be rea- sonably sure of preventing a re- currence of rheumatic fever. This usually means it daily dose of thr- sulfonunid or consistent use of penicillin." The follawiw list of signs and symptoms that parents and teach- srl should ” as a warning that something is wrong ll: fail- ure to gain weight, pallor, poor ap- petite, fatigue. frequent colds and sore throats. nod nose bleeds. unenpfsined fever. pains in armr and IQ. history of previous rheumatic fever. poor showing in studies:
