homos this coming week-end. Many new Decatur residences are under construction already and many more are planned for completion during the summer and fall months. M. C. Staling, local contractor for Scotsman homes and Clark W. Smith, Decatur representative for United States Steel Gunnison homos both have set Saturday and Sunday showings of new homes. Both homes to be shown will be completely furnished and anyone contemplating building in the near future should visit these fine new residences. Location of the homos and time of the open houses appear in a Daily Democrat news item and advertisement. The members of the Adams county council, called for a meeting April 2* and 2*. to pass on requests of more than *3«,400 in emergency appropriations for the various county offices and boards, have a big job on their hands. It is their duty to pass on the necessity of every request and also to determine if the amount requested la actually In the emergency classification. ' Members of the county council Include - Henry Dehner, Julius Schults, Charley Jonas, Chris Stably, Leo Neuenscbwander, William Krueteman and Frank Bohnke. All of these men are good substantial citizens of the county. We believe that every taxpayer in the county has explicit confidence in their judgment Our county council is far above the average in Indiana. Perhaps, wo could do that body a favor by taking more interest in their important meetings. Whenever the council meets to consider requests for appropriations, under the statute, all taxpayers are invited to attend. Often no one appears. Perhaps, we could encourage these good citizens in their tough job if we would appear and express confidence in their judgment. Def’s alt show some interest in county, township and city affairs. If we do, it is the best insurance in the world that we will continue to have good government.

County Agent's Column « • Clean Home The best time to fight a fire is long before it ever starts. That’s the whole point to spring clean-up says Leo Seltenright, county agent. The first line of defense is a clean home and farm, tire-safe construction including a safe heating plant, and fire-resistant roofing. Tbe second line of defense is farm fire fighting equipment that should be handy and regularly checked to make sure it is in good working condition. Seltenright advises fanners to have these emergency items on hand at all times: 1. An adequate supply of water for fire trucks and portable pumps. 2. Approved fire extinguishers conveniently placed near all danger spots'—in barn, machine shed, and storage tanks of gasoline and kerosene. Extinguishers should be recharged when recommended by the manufacturer. 3. Garden hose, and water buckets in various places in and around buildings. 4. Ladders to reach the highest roof tops and windows. And don’t forget the silo. 5. A pump tank or sprayer, fire swatter, wet brooms, or wet burlap bags to fight field fires.

Fight Against Polio Long, Uphill Battle

Editor's Dots: Ths fight to conquer polio has been « long, uphill battle, filled with tragedy and occasional triumph and climaxed Tuesday by the dramatic announcement that the Salk vaccine is “safe, effective and potent.’* What is this horrible scourge that has killed and crippled through the centuries? Who made victory over ft possible? Following is the first of four articles by science writer Edwin Diamond telling the fascinating step-by-step story in one of man’s greatest medical victories.) By EDWIN DIAMOND ANN ARBOR, Mich. (INS) — Polio has left its crippling brand on humanity down through the ages, but until less than 50 years ago it was still the “unknown killer.” Its cause, treatment and prevention were all wrapped up in a mysterious, frightening and scientific puzzle. Only the dreaded results were known—an initial fever, a certain numbness and then helpless paralysis and the withering of arms and legs. Although existence of polio is fairly well established as far back as the days of anelent Egypt, it was not even identified as a distinct disease until 1840. Observing the crippling toll it took of children, 19th century doctors call it “infantile paralysis” and blamed the illness on “teething” and “fevers.” And despite the 20th century advances in medicine, the polio rate kept increasing. Last year there were 38,741 cases reported in the United States. Evan as late as 1953, polio caused more deaths in the U. 8. than any other communicable disease. Today, polio is on the runscience has unraveled its life story. The eventual final victory over “the crippier” is near at hand. At the University of Michigan, climaxing medical history's most ambitious mass experiment, the vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas E. Salk was judged safe, effective and potent in preventing all three types of paralytic polio. Sometimes man can prevent diseases without understanding what causes them. This is what happened in 1796 to an English country doctor, Edward Jenner, who established the principle of vaccination without fully understanding what he had dorW4 •* ■» **** • mm It was Jenner who inoculated into the arjn of a 14-year-old boy some germ-filled matter token from an open sore on the hand of a dairy maid. The boy was made immune to smallpox, a deadly disease of humans related to cowpox. had happened was this: The boy received weakened cowpox germs from the dairymaid's infection and from them he acquired a mild dose of the disease which did something to the body to make k able to withstand smallpox. Today we know exactly what the cowpox germs did. Dr. Jenner did NOT. But he had established the principle of vaccination. Next came Drs. Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur, who in the

HBte showed that infections are caused by bacteria (germs). ’ These germs are continually attacking the body and when their invasions are successful sickness and death may result.. The success or failure of the invasion depends upon the strength of the defending forces—the antibodies. Antibodies are chemical products of the cells which can envelop and destroy invading germs. For each germ, there is a corresponding antibody capable of deal ing with It. . It is good to have antibodies in the blood and the more the better. We can get them in two ways: A natural infection and an artificial infection. Injection of a vaccine is really away of giving an artificial Infection with germs so weakened that they cannot cause the disease but still potent enough to stimulate the production of anti-bod-ies. Smallpox, diptheria. rabies, yellow fever, tetanus, typhoid fever, and cholera—all were tamed by vaccination. Polio, however, did not yield to the march of scientific progress and the triumph of sanitary conditions. Instead, polio cases increased greatly while other infectious diseases were brought under control. At first it seemed to be almost entirely a disease of children under five years of age, and almost 90 percent of the paralytic cases was concentrated in the 0-4 age group. But later the maximum attack rates shifted to the 5-9 group, then to 7-15 And even 15-23. In retrospect, it is easy to understand and explain polio, but nothing could be done to attack it until the first big “breakthrough” was made in 1909. Then it was learned that polio is caused by an invisible agent called a virus—a particle so small (between 19 and 30 millionths of a millimeter) as to be out of range of the most powerful microscopes. (Next: Breakthrough on the polio front). - Trenton — About one-half of the total area of New Jersey is de-, voted to agriculture, according to recent estimates.
