WHIPPLE, M.D. At last there is real hope that an effective vaccination against the dreaded disease polio (or infantile paralysis) is just around the cor- ner. The research has been slow. One of the reasons polio research has been difficult is that the disease is essentially a human disease. Only monkeys can, be given polio. Mon- keys are expensive and difficult to care for. Then in 1949 Dr. John F. Enders at Harvard found that polio virus could be grown in what is called a tissue culture. This is a special solution containing little bits of monkey kidney. This meant that polio virus could be grown in test tubes instead of in the monkey’s body. Search for the method of pre- venting polio was speeded up great- ly by this new and easy way of growing the virus. Dr. Jonas E. Salk in Pittsburgh found a way of making a vaccine. Jn the last analysis the method is simple. The virus is grown in the tissue culture, then the solution is treated so that all the virus is killed and what's left is the ma- terial that will prevent the disease. While it sounds simple and can be written in one sentence, literal- ly hundreds of steps are necessary Royal Canadian Naval Cadets at the U. S. Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, here.

Monkeys given the vaccine didn’t get polio even when large doses were it- jected into them. Would it work with children?

It is likely, however, that | Your Hair From Summer Sun Rain By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor Hair is on the spot during the summer months. At other seasons we can hide unruly locks or a crowning glory in need of a shampoo under a hat or kerchief and still look chic, But not so during warmer months —one season of the year when hair must shine. It is easy to keep it clean and sleek with a minimum of effort, however. Here are some helpful pointers: 1. Keep your hair short enough so that it may be washed every day if you like. On warm days hair may even be shampooed under the shower and dried bee fore you take off for work. Rub briskly with a good absorbent turkish towel, then use a dry brush. After that put the hair up in pincurls when it is slightly damp. If it is still damp when you take off for work, wear a smart bandana around it. But drape it attractively—don’t wear it in a babushka style. Comb out Pincurls when you get to your locker. 2. If hair is on the longish side and badly in need of a shampoo which is out of the question at the moment because of illness, vacation traveling or lack of time, try a dry shampoo. One that is waterless and flower-scented will help rid hair of dust, dirt and ex- cess oil. What’s more your wave will still be intact after this type of shampoo. All you do is put about a tablespoonful in a saucer, dip in the applicator brush that comes with the shampoo and brush it through a small section of hair, working it away from the scalp. This is repeated, strands at a time, until the entire head is done. After the hairbrush is used briskly, your hair should look soft and fulffy once more. 3. When on the beach protect your hair from burning sunshine HAIR GROOMER—Purse-size wisp stick may be stroked over the hair for instant repair. with a beach hat or other head covering. This is particularly im- portant if the hair has been dyed or bleached; because hair may be exceedingly dry to start with. 4. If you go out driving, par- ticularly in a convertible car, be sure to take a head covering with you. This should be anything that will grip the hair and keep it in its proper place, whether bandanna or hat that ties under the chin. 5. Carry one of those little hair sticks that can be whisked quickly over hair wisps to keep them in place. These little waxlike sticks are small enough to be kept in the handbag, and will come in handy when on an automobile drive or when traveling. They are par- ticularly good for short hairdos.

And then on Saturday, July 3, the Elks are having their dance for the benefit of Harry Anna Children’s Home. AFTER THE PAINTING After a paint job is finished, thoroughly clean your brush, spray gun or roller. Cover any leftover paint. When next you use the paint, check to see if a skin has formed on its surface within the can. If you are careful, you can lift the skin out in one piece. If part of the skin remains, stir the paint and strain it through a coarse cloth or old stocking before using. FINISH FOR WOOD A new pigmented finish for wood gives full color and a grained ap- perance to rough wood surfaces now used in homes. The finish can be applied with roller, brush or spray and ih effective in all kinds of weather. BEFORE THEIR TIME VIRGINIA CITY, Mont.—16.— Historie Virginia City’s court- house was built years before Mon- tana women served on juries. Therefore, it still has accom- modations for but one sex. M seven women were seat- ed for the first murder trial in 19 years, the courtroom was cleared each night and the five male jurors slept there in portable beds. The women slept in the jury quarters. SS ee vaccine has been given epidemics of Polio will occur.

I have seen snook which are obviously shorter and stubbier than those commonly taken in this area, Is it true, as I have been told, that this fish is the female of its spec- ies? R. F. Fordam, Naples, Fla. A. No, this not true in the area that you mention or in any other area. The explanation for this [difference in size is not quite as fanciful as you have been led to believe. Actually, these are in- dividuals from two separate, though closely related, species. The snook that you refer to as be- ing commonly taken. is Centro- Pomis undecimalis, the shorter and stubbier one is another species of Centropomis. However, in neith- er of the above named species can} the sex be determined solely from external features. In order to do this, it is essential to ex- amine the internal reproductive organs (gonads) of the fish. Q. Can a fish feel pain? Mrs. J. M. Brighton, Miami. A. To answer this it is neces- sary to measure the sensitivity of a fish to pain in relation to our own and in view of the greater brain development in man this is perhaps an unfair test. Most anglers persuade themselves that a fish feels no pain, and there is considerable justification for this belief. Trout and pike have been seen, after having their mouth lacerated by a hook, to return and take the hook again. It is possible that fish lose their sensitivity to pain under stress of excitment, and in general we can assume that with their relatively lowly orgniz- ed nervous system they are less sensitive to pain than humans. In the end it is a matter of rela- tive values. Ll Q. While talking with a charter- boat captain the topic of sailfish- ing naturally came up. To my surprise he told me, during the course of the conversation, that sailfish are sometimes caught on the bottom while trolling. He fur- ther added that the Marine Lab- oratory recently published an ac- count of a_ sailfish being caught this way. Is this true? N. Boud- ouin, Miami. A. Yes, the ctaching of sailfish while bottom trolling is true. This is not common practice, but at the same time it is not considered a rare occurrence. Captain Bob Carpenter of “The Thrill” ( a bot- tom fishing boat) caught a sail- fish using a rotten ballyhoo while drift fishing on the bottom, March 29, 1954, off Fort Lauderdale. Captain Carpenter informed us that he has seen at ledst four or five sailfish caught in this manner. The publication that was referred to was the third edition of the sail- fish Newsletter, issued by the Marine Laboratory. Ever try this soup combination?

This great star, to! be seen at the Strand Theatre be-| ing Wednesday, in Republic’s| “Johnny Guitar,” a thrilling West- | ern drama filmed in gorgeous Tru- color by Consolidated, rose to fame and fortune despite many heart- aches and set-backs. Miss Crawford was born Lucille | LeSeuer on a March 23 in San| Antonio, Texas. Fate threw her| the first curve when her parents separated shortly after her birth. Her mother later married Henry Cassin, a theatre owner in Lawton, Oklahoma, where the star became known as Billie Cassin. She used the two names _ interchangeably | until she made good in Hollywood. | In Lawton, Joan got her first taste of theatrical life by watching the performers in her step-father’s theatres and by making up and playing various dramas of her own in the warehouse where scenery was stored. A serious foot injury threatened to cripple her during this period, but the courage that has marked Joan Crawford throug- out life refused to accept what the doctors thought inevitable. She learned to walk and dance again. While still a child, her family moved to Kansas City, where her mother secured employment in a department store. Joan paid her way in school by working in the kitchen and dining room. Her in- terest in dancing never flagged, and it was not long before she won her-first dancing contest at the | Jack O’Lantern cafe. It was the first of many awards that Joan was to win during ensuing years. She won her first big role as Irene in “Sally, Irene and Mary.” MGM promoted a magazine con- test to find a new name for Lucille LeSeuer, and out of it came “Joan Crawford.” Joan still lives in the sumptuous Brentwood home she built when she first reached stardom. She has four adopted children: Christ- ina, 15; Christopher, 11 and Cathy and Cynthia, twins, born Jan- uary 15, 1947. One of Hollywood’s best-dressed women, Joan feels that a movie star should always be “‘dressed- up” when in public as well as when on the screen and is no subscriber | to the belief that actresses should run around looking like the girl next door. Miss Crawford believes in per- sonal friedship with her fans. “If you ignor them, they’ll ignore you,” she says. “I am extremely grateful to the public. They’ve put me where I am today.” Births STEADMAN DAUGHTER Mr. and Mrs. Richard Steadman have announced the birth of their daughter at Monroe General Hos- pital on June 21.
