Live Polio '1 sac Passing The Test "W e thi4 We will have live Polio va4cine on :the market by next summer~, We have =Wine- Ing evidence that We didn't have three months ago thut the vaccine is good," With these words, V.S. Sur, igehlt General Leroy Burney te- Vealed last month that — after tWO years of tests in which live polio vaccines have been given to mere than 100 million people Prot,lnd the world — the U.S. Public Health Service has fin- ally decided U,S. enaleets elletuld, start planning ee, auction 4)f the vaccine for %VAN. i sale. For the aree,:age won, the live-virus vaccine is an attrae- tive prospect, For one thing, live Wise vaccines — containing live but weakened aged harmless polio virus — are pinkly more eleetive than the Salk vaccine, containing virus which has been killed. Moreover, the live-virus vaccines are taken etahe in pills or liquids, while the `calk preparation must oe injected. Finally, the live vaccine will be cheaper to make and to buy. Most exciting, there is the possibility that the live vaccine may stamp out p.oleo once and for all — and for the very rea- son that has, until now, worried the USPHS. Because the virus does pass from one human be- ing to another, Dr. A. M. M. Payne of the World Health Organization recently suggested that even one member who takes the polio pills may immunize the rest of his family, It was this last effect — the ability of the lrre vaccine to pass from person to person — that had long worried Dr. Bur- ney and the USPHS. His main concern: that the live virus might grow vireelesat enough to kill. Only last June, he said the Public Health Service was "not convinced" of the live vaccine's safety. But to many scientists, includ- ing Dr. Albert Se-dal of the Uni- versity of Cincinnati, whose live vaccine has been tested on 60 ,million Russians, Dr. Burney's caution seemed unnecessary. Live vaccines developed by Sa- bin and Drs, Koprowski of Philadelphia's Wistar Insti- tue, and Herald a` Cox, director of virus researce. Lederlc La- boratories, Pearl River, N.Y., have been tested successfully on millions in Hungary, Poland, the Congo, and Latin America. By contrast, the Salk vaccine was tested on only 2 million Ameri- cans. Significantly, at the Fifth. In- ternational Poliomyelitis Confer- ence held recently in Copenha- gen, Victor M. Zhelanov, Russia's Deputy Minister of Health, said that "in no instance were unde- sirable reactions to the vaccine observed in the subjects or their associates." But even more re- assuring to the USPHS were this summer's large-scale tests on 800,000 Americans around the nation using the Sabin and the Cox vaccines. The results are still trickling into the USPHS offices, but Dr, Burney has been particularly impressed by the fact that in Dade County (Mi- ami), Fla., where there were 27 cases oil polio by this time last year, only eight cases have appeared so far in 1960, and none of them can be blamed on the vaccine. Dr. David Price, deputy di- rector of the National Institutes Of Health, explained; ''It is in- creasingly apparent that there is no evidence of reversion (that the virus grows more virulent as 1 its patisee It *placard ta be safe."

Maybe you are heading for this family problem in Septem- ber: Should Junior have a car while attending school? The Allstate Insurance Com- pany has completed a complex survey on the subject. They have come up with the not surprising conclusion that cars do affect grades. But the fault is not the auto- mobile; it is the manner of its use and, so to speak, the rules of the game. The survey indicates that grades and cars mix, providing that YOU control the "mix" and do so with strong authority. There are other interesting conclusions brought out by the survey. A car or extensive use of a car given to a 16-year-old almost al- ways has an adverse effect on his grades. Somewhere along the line you must decide whether your son's version of "keeping up with the Joneses" in the matter of cars is worth what it can do to his fu- ture. During the school year, scholarship and home work should come FIRST, not a car or other extra-curricular activity. The survey reveals that bad grades do not improve when Jun- ior is promised a car if he does better, They are likely to get worse. It's a sensible rule to basically restrict the use of a car to week ends, and reserve week days for school work. "I told Johnny he could have a car if he'd earn the money to buy it" sounds good, but isn't clear thinking. If he works to buy the car he has a right to retain the keys — and the keys belong in YOUR pocket. It is not true that "only a few teen-agers have accidents." In- surance statistics indicate that "most" teen-agers are involved in accidents at one time or gm, other. Not all are serious and not all make the headlines, but they cause loss and court judgments which can be ruinous to some families, If you do decide to allow Jun- ior to drive, don't accept his idea of safe driving. It may not be mature, Make certain that he is properly and professionally trained. —Seattle Post Intelli- gences. Obey the traffic signs — they are placed there for YOUR. SAFETY. Trar4Pcly For A Dark Gentleman By any estimate, and especi- ally by his own, Roy CarnPan- ella had the world in his power- ful palms — back in the not so long ago when he was rid- ing high as the best catcher by far in the National. League, when he was piloting his 41- foot, $36,000 po w er cruiser around. Lon g Island Sound, when life was a beer, a cigar, and a moorrkned grin, There he was, living one of the great American dreams, and never for a minute forgetting bow lucky he was to be living it. He would squat on a stool in the Brooklyn Dodgers.' club- house, stripped to his shorts, his hands spread on his brawny thighs, and he would prattle on In his excited, high-pitched way about how good life had been to him. He'd had his troubles along the way: A hand-to-mouth boy- hood in Philadelphia's Nice- town section, where he helped his father peddle fish, fruit, and vegetables from a Model-T truck; the knockabout life in the Negro leagues, where he put in ten years and no one knows how many thousands of miles for as little as $120 a month. But that was all -behind him, and Campanella could laugh at most of it. Hunched in the dug- out, he would spin tales catching three games in a day, in t h r e e different towns, for three different Negro teams, and his fellow Dodgers would roar their delight. Everybody liked Roy, and he was almost as proud LUCKY PENNY — Caro G. Mar- tin, an 84-dollar ,o week bank clerk, studies a rare 1943 pen- ny which he recognized.

Otherwise he is totally para- lyzed, People have been kind, There were benefit games for him. He got work as a TV sports com- mentator, and he still has his liquor store in Harlem, But fate seemed to have it rn for Roy Campanella. First, his e&opted son David was found guilty of juvenile delinquency, and it hurt Campanella deeply. Then, last Month, tragedy- struck Roy Campanella was struck another blow. After fif- teen years, his marriage to tall. shapely Ruthe Cartmenella was breaking up; and this, he said, "is the worst hurt of ell," Cam- panella, charged that for the last year, utile had been neglecting him and the children, staying out all hours, running around with other men, To an old friend, Campanella added, pathetically, that all he expected of his Wife was that she tend to the children and keep up appearances, Whatever else she saw fit to do, As long as it caused no talk , . raid crippled, helpless Roy Carrie Isabelle: "I would have turned -ny hod." Some folks who feel disinter- ested in buttered beets perk up when Harvard beets come on the table. They are very easy to pre- pare, and can be fixed some time before a meal begins and re- heated at the last minute. For a dozen little beets or their equivalent sliced, try this. Blend 1/2 cup sugar with one tablespoon cornstarch. Add Y4 cup water and the same amount of vine- gar and boil five minutes. Add the beets to the thickened sauce and let stand away from the heat at least 10 minutes. Just before serving reheat and acid, two tablespoons butter. * Look on any young home- maker's pantry shelf and you'll probably find several cans of tuna. It is so convenient, easy to prepare, and can be used in many, many ways. "It's easy to mix tuna with something else — lima beans, macaroni, potatoes or some other vegetable, add a little lemon juice, a few slices of ripe olive or some mushrooms, put it all in a casserole and you have a dish that serves six," one young mother of a growing family told me, enthusiastically. "I make tuna pie often, too," she added. "Sometimes I add cheese and sometimes tomatoes, sometimes a vegetable and often a few spcies, With a crust brown- ed to a golden brown, I have an easy meal." Some of the other dishes she makes from tuna are salads, sandwiches, fish cakes and loaves, chowders, and bisques. * I talked also to a man in the tuna canning industry who told me something .of the romance and history of the canning in- dustry. It is comparatively young, having been developed on a large scale at the turn of the century, writes Eleanor Richey Johnston in the Christian Science Molitor, Tuna clippers roam the ocean sometimes for thousands of miles and for eeveral months at a time to bring back the tuna fish to pack in cans. Good recipes follow: TUNA AU GRATIN 1 cup condensed cream of mushroom soup 3'. cup water 1 cup canned tuna 7. tablespoons chopped /pimiento I teaspoon onion salt 2 cups corn chips 1 cup grated Canadian cheese Dilute soup with the 1/4 cup water and heat, stirring; add tuna, pimiento, and onion salt.

The caribou is a very useful animal to the. Indians and Eski- mos of the northland. They eat its flesh, make soup from its marrow, and clothing and tents from its hide. They use its banes eor needles, awls, and knives; its horns for fishhooks, spears, and spoons; and its tendons for thread. Caribou cannot be tarried like other reindeer for domestic use, 0571qTnthlbeq.NICIt C i44iTsTlipiri'pi When 1 was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our vil- lage on the west bank of the Mississippi River.

Once a day a cheap, gaudy packet arrived upward from St, Louis, and another downward from 1<eoltuk. Before those events, the day was glorious with expectancy; after them, the day was a dead and empty thing. Not only the bays, but the whole village, felt this. After all these years T can pic- ture that old time to myself now, just as it was then: the white town drowsing in the sunshine of a summer's morning; the streets empty, or pretty nearly so; one or two clerks sitting in front of the Water Street stores, with their spline-bottomed chairs tilt- ed back against the wall, chins on breasts, hats slouched over their faces, asleep . two or three wood fiats at the head of the wharf, but nobody to listen to the peaceful lapping of the` wavelets against them; the great Mississippi, the majestic, the magnificent Mississippi, rolling its mile-wide tide along, shining in the sun; the dense forest away on thee other side; the "point" above the town, and the "point" below, bounding e the river- glimpse and turning it into a sort of sea, and withal a very still and brilliant and lonely one. Presently a film of dark smoke appears above one of those re- mote "points"; instantly a Negro drayman, famous for his quick eye and prodigious voice, lifts up the cry, "S-t-e-a-mboat a- comin'!" and the scene changes! „ Drays, carte, men, boys, all go hurrying from many quarters to a common centre, the. wharf.

She is long and sharp and 'trim and pretty; she has two tall, fancy-topped chim- neys, with a gilded device of some kind swung between them; a fanciful pilot-house, all glass and "gingerbread,” perched on top of the "texas" deck behind them; the paddle-boxes are gorgeous with are- or whit ,emoted rays above the boat's name; the boiler-deck, the hurrii,:in-;'vek, and the texas deck at :met' :!!vTl drite °11:1111111TnTs'itt.cither\cvitish !ea gallantly Hying from the, jack- staff; the furnace doors are open. and the fires glaring bravely; .the upper decks are black with pas- sengers; the captain stands b.)" the big bell, calm, imposing, the. envy blackesto f all; smokeare e t volum es of the rolling tumbling out of the chimneys is husbanded grandeur created with a bit of pitch-pine just be, for arriving at a town; the crew are grouped on the forecastle; the broad stage is run far out over the port bow, and an en- vied deck-hand stands pictur- esquely on the end of it with a coil of rope in his hand; the pent steam is screening through. the gauge-cocks; the captain lifts his hand, a bell rings, the wheels stop; then they turn back, churn- ing the water to foam, and the steamer is at rest. — From "Life. on the Mississippi," by Mark Twain. Narcotics Advice From An Expert "How do you suppose I can live peacefully here in Naples, where everybody knows every- body's secrets?" asked onetime American vice lord Lucky Lu-: ciano of his latest interviewer, British suspense Novelist Ian. Fleming, How, indeed? By stay- ing out of the very skulduggery he's forever accused of getting into, Lucky explained, Why is he accused? "Because they (13.5, narcotics agents) can't think of anyone else to frame for all the narcotics going into the United States." Lucky's gratuitous ad- vice to the U.S.: Borrow Eng- land's system of rationing drugs, to registered addicts ("If you can get your drugs for nothing; you won't have to rob or murder somebody for the money to buy the stuff.
