The pinworm is aparasite having unusual and strange habits. The eggs are laid on the perianal skin at night when 3 SE the host is sleeping. The Dr. Masters female worm then shrivels up and may drop from the body into the bed clothing. When the egg is discharged, it already contains an embryo, which is fully developed and infective within six hours. The source of infection is the ingestion of these eggs.
Symptoms Vary Greatly
The symptoms of pinworm infestation vary in degree from a complete absence of recognized gymptoms, to intense itching in the region of the anus, loss of appetite, irritability, restlessness and diarrhea. Pinworms are known to enter the female genative tract, where they may set up intense frritation and through which they may pass into the abdominal eavity, where they eventually be-

diffuse throughout the country.
The control of pinworm infection is extremely difficult. The tendency to scratch the irritated
perianal skin deposits the eggs beneath the fingernail, and eventually they may be carried to the mouth. The eggs are so light that they may be carried by air currents and thereby be transported to distant objects. They are usually to be found in the dust in houses where the infection is present. The persistence of the infection, despite treatment, is to be explained by constant re-infection from these sources. The pinworm egg is capable of surviving as long as 10 days on the, skin, and is resistant to ordinary temperature changes as well as the usual household disinfectants. Therefore, hygienic measures are inadequate to suppress the infection. The treatment of pinworms by means of gentian violet, a chemical agent, is highly effective, but must be continued longer than _the survival period of the eggs, and administered to all infected persons in the family. The recognition of the parasite should always precede any treatment. Each member of the family should be examined, regardless of the absence of symptoms, and the treatment should be super-

ers will confine their activities to the remaining seven.
Support Ludlow
Of the congressmen in the seven districts in which the C. I. O. expects to play a major political role, only three are scheduled now to receive support. They are Congressman Louis Ludlow (D. Indianapolis), Ray Madden (D. Gary) and Charles La Follette (R. Evansville). The four congressmen whom the C.1.0. hopes to beat are all Republicans: Forrest Harness, Kokomo; Raymond Springer, Connersville; George W. Gillie, Ft. Wayne, and Robert A. Grant, South Bend. The four congressmen in whose re-election campaigns the C.I1.0. expects to take no part, also all Republicans, are Earl Wilson, Huron; Noble J. Johnson, Terre Haute; Gerald Landis, Linton, and Charles Halleck, Rensselaer. In the senatorial race, the C.1.O. will make no decision until the partits nominate at their conventions next summer.
Watch State Races
The C.I.O. expects, too, to take a part in the state races, particularly the governor's, but not to such an extent as in the congressional and senatorial. C. I. O. leaders say that their members will not be apathetic in the next election as they were in the ’42 election. They say that the union members are exercised over the Smith-Connally anti-strike bill and realize that unless they exert their influence at the polls, “dark days,” as they term it, will be ahead for organized labor. First concrete steps in preparing for the "44 campaign will be taken at Kokomo Sunday when the C. I. O. will form the United Labor League, the vehicle to run the campaign. The otganisation will be directed by the various C. I. O. leaders in the state. A prominent role in the organization’s political activities will be played by Powers Hapgood, regional C. I. O. director, who reportedly was instructed by C. I. O. President Philip Murray when he was here last week-end to lay aside all other activities for the political action campaign.
Seek Other Unions’ Aid
After the organization is set up, the Indiana Federation of Labor, the railroad brotherhoods and the United Mine Workers are to be asked to join. The union’s present plans call for supporting the candidates who pledge to back the Casablanca unconditional surrender policy, favor the price roll-back program, support the president in the war effort and work for a tax program to keep multimillionaires from being made from the current prosperity. While their program calls for eliminating party lines as far as the indorsement of candidates goes, union leaders say frankly that Democrats probably will receive the bulk of their support. Indorsement of legislative, municipal and county candidates will be left to the respective locals, as has been the cus-
tom. Part of Wide Drive
The Indiana movement is a part of a national C. I. O. drive to elect congressmen and senators friendly to labor. Most of the work of organizing the workers politically will be done by the shop stewards in the organized plants. These are the men who will do most of the work in elting the $100,000 campaign fund. union believes that it can — this amount by asking each member to contribute $1 and by sales from various publications.

RUN MAY CUT MEAT SUPPLY
Shortage End in Sight but!
Fancy Cuts Will Be Hard to Get.
WASHINGTON, July 31 (U. P).— The end of the meat shortage is in sight, but the agriculture department isn’t promising Americans all the rib roasts and porterhouse steaks they would like. In fact, there is no assurance that a “run” on certain types of the most popular theats which have been hard to get for weeks may not result in temporary local shortages from time to time. The bureau of agriculture economics confirmed earlier predictions that heavier marketing of cattle and hogs would relieve the spring and summer meat shortage by early fall.
Get Full Ration
Housewives soon are expected to obtain their full ration allowance for meats, and at the same time have a considerably wider choice of types and cuts of meat. ‘Several factors now point to unusually large supplies of livestook for slaughter during the last half of 1943 and in 1944” the BAE reported. Small marketings rather than reduced production have been blamed for meat counter shortage. There are record numbers of cattle reported on the range, but it has been unprofitable for the ranchers or farmers to slaughter them. “With livestock numbers and production at their present record level and beginning to outrun total feed resources, expanding markets in the near future appear {fairly certain,” the bureau said.
Don't Slow Down," Waring Advises Butler Air Cadets
Nine hundred future army air corps pilots in training at Butler university were told by Roane Waring, national American Legion commander, here yesterday that “the war is a long way from being won.” Mr. Waring, attending the formal weekly review of air cadets, told the future combat fliers they will have plenty of opportunity to fight. “Just because Italy is about to crack up, don't think ¢he war is nearly won and slow down your zeal and effort,” he said. Mr. Waring, who was a lieutenant colonel serving overseas in the last war and who recently made a tour of the fighting front in Africa, predicted that all air cadets now in training will be in action on one of the many battle fronts of the world before hostilities cease. He said his tour of the African front and training camps in the
GEORGE R. BROWN, PISTOL CHAMP, DIES
PITTSFIELD, Mass, July 31 (U. P.) —George R. Brown, 63, nation ally known pistol marksman who held an informal victory over Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, died at his home here yesterday after a long illness. A native of Waterloo, N. YY. Brown held the national revolver championship in the “Match G” class in 1027 and for many years was a familiar figure on revolver ranges in the east and middle west. Brown's last match was staged a year ago at Lee against Prince Bernhard, who was vacationing in the Berkshires with Crown Prine cess Juliana. Brown beat the prince handily and then proceeded to defeat the entire secret service personnel who were assigned to
guard the royal party.
United States convinced him that the American army is the besttrained, best-equipped and best-led of any in the nation’s history. Other Legion officials on the reviewing stand as guests of Capt. Samuel C, Gist Jr, commander of the training detachment, were: W. Carl Graham, Indiana department adjutant; C. M. Wilson, national co-ordinator of war activities; V. M. Armstrong, former national vice commander; J. A. Cejnar, director of public relations; John R. Ruddick, national treasurer; Fred O. Hasselbring, 11th district commander and about 20 post come manders.
