GG Supply Sufficient for Mass Immunization in Epidemic Areas New York U.B Despite shortages, there is enough gam ma globulin for mass immuniza tion of children in polio epi demic areas and the time to use it is now, the United Press, learn ed today on high authority. Of approximately 4,500,000 cubic centimeters of gamma globulin allotted by the Office of Defense Mobilization for mass Immunizations, a p p r oximately 1,100,000 cub centimeters have been used so far. The remainder, enough to give immunity to 425,000 children under 10 for up to five weeks, Is held by the ODM for alloca tion to areas where" the total number of polio cases passes a critical level. That level at pres ent is 200 cases for 100,000 pop ulation. Season at Peak It should be used soon because this week, next week, or the week after may bring the peak of the 1953 polio season. Many counties now are at or near the critical level and more probably will exceed it in the next few weeks.

MORTON MILUM CO. 10 Wt JkIomi Stow On the basis of the statistical records of previous years, the polio season reaches Its peak usually in the last week of Auugust, or the first two weeks of September. Thereafter, the case loads taper off although there may be as many or more cases after the peak as before it. Medford Ex-POW Suffered Wounds In Arms and Leg The extent of wounds and in juries suffered by Marine Pfc. Leonard Steege, released Med ford prisoner of war, was report ed here today in a letter from the Marine Corps commandant, Washington, D.C. The letter was sent to the young Marine's mother, Mrs. A. H. Webster, 401 East 12th st. Mrs. Webster is now in Cali fornia to meet her son when he arrives there. The letter stated that Private Steege is suffering from a frac tured left arm and wounds to his right elbow and left knee. Any nerve or arterial involvement is still unknown, the letter said. It added that Private Steege is receiving the best possible medi cal treatment, and that any addi tional information, including ex pected time of arrival in the United States, will be forwarded immediately to Mrs. Webster and her husband. These figures were shown to Dr. Kenneth Landauer, assistant medical director of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis. He said they were correct. And he pointed out why gamma globulin should be used for mass immunizations in epidemic areas and should not be used on "cas ual contacts" In non-epidemic areas. The basic reason is that there is not enough gamma globulin to inject into the some 40 mil lion children In the United States, the most susceptible por tion of the total population. Therefore, the limited supply has to be used where it will do the most good in preventing polio. Considerable Risk In epidemic areas, there is a great deal of virus in circula tion. All the children In those areas run a considerable risk of having the virus invade their bodies. But when they are in jected with gamma globulin, they have a high degree of im munity when they are invaded. Weather Changes Plan For Trail Riders Weather uncertainty has forc ed the Medford Trail Riders to cancel their overnight ride to Hamacher meadows this week end, members said.

As We Live NEWCOMERS FIND IT HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS Children as a rule make friends easily, but with passing years it becomes harder, as this woman is discovering. She writes: (Q) "My problem. I imagine, is a fairly common one. We moved here about a year ago and for the first time in our lives are finding it very diffi cult to make friends. My hus band and I are in our early 30's and have been married for ten years. We have two daughters, both of school age. We have been attending a church here, but people who are well established here, while awfully nice to us, seem to be so taken up with their own friends and activi ties that we can't seem to break the lee. I thought you might know of others who are new here and are finding it hard to establish themselves" (A) In every community there are newcomers who, like 'you, BILINGUAL STAMPS Vila.

PH.D. find it hard to break the ice and W establish them- 1 ' selves as a part of their new co mmunity The trouble is not with the community or with the peo ple themselves. Their ages are at the root of Dr. Hurlock the problem. I am sure that your daughters did not find it hard to establish themselves in school. But when people are married and have homes and families, as most peo ple in their early 30's do, their lives are filled with duties, re sponsibilities and a few old friends. That is why you are finding it hard to break the ice. If you were younger or even middle- aged, things would be easier. However, if you are patient and make a real effort, you can make friends. Here are some of the ways to do this: 1. Join some of the church, community and school organ! zations. Take part in their activi ties and get to know the people there- 2. Have your daughters invite classmates to your home and get to know their parents. 3. Ask your husband to Invite some of the men he works with and their families to come to your home to meet you.

(COPYRIGHT 19S3, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) m mm George Biker Much has been said about live versus filmed TV shows, but one thing that's usually forgotten is that there are several different ways of filming shows . . . and the technique makes a lot of difference. The usual method employs only one cam era. "D rig net, "Life of Riley," "My Little Margie," and many ether filmed shows use this method. Indivi dual scenes are shot and pieced to gether, likr a movie. The second method is a multiple camera with audience system. The Grout ho Marx show. "I Love Lucy," "Our Miss Brooks" and others use this technique. It has the advantage of live audience reaction. A third method is used for some of the new Jack Benny shows, the Joan Davis show, "Burns and Allen," and others. It uses three cameras with no audience, allowing more freedom in shooting. Often laugh ter is dubbed in on these shows, or the film is shown to an audience and its reaction is recorded. So when you start arguing about live and filmed TV shows, you really have to state what kind of filmed show you mean! One thing is sure ... If the show is good, the audience will like it no matter how it's made. The quality of the show is what counts in the end. But if your set isn't giving you a quality picture, you're not getting what you paid for. So make need ed repairs promptly, and be sure you call the qualified technicians who service the sets we sell at VOUNGER'S APPLIANCE STORE, 31 N. Bartlett. Phone 2-6419. In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Another monkey wrench Is thrown into the truce machin ery. Ben Limb, South Korean am bassador to the United States, announces flatly in Washington that South Korea will not sit in any peace talks with India (which he calls an appeaser of communists) unless India SITS ON THE COMMUNIST SIDE OF THE TABLE, where; he inti mates, she belongs. Commenting on Limb's state ment, P. T. Pyun, South Korea's foreign minister says: 'That is rough talk but South Korea is near death and people who are near death are usually very frank." I ADMIRE your spunk sir, but I'd like to call your attention to the fact that people who kick over the traces and talk rough to their friends in the pinches seldom get what they want. What you want is liberty for your country, and if I were you I'd be a little more diplomatic about it TtfTEANWHILiE 1'A Moving with almost war time secrecy, a group of our B-38 intercontinental bombers (built to carry atom bombs anywhere in the world) lands in Japan aft er a non-stop flight from bases in the United States. ARE you old enough to re member the days when in touchy situations such as the present one in Korea the British fleet would put in its appear ance at some spot in the world where trouble was possibly brewing? This was usually enough to fix things up without any shooting. Those were wonderful days. They were days when there was responsibile leadership in the world. When there was a bal ance of POW2R in the world. FWAS Britain's responsibility then. It's OUR responsibility now. That is a sobering thought The consciousness of responsibil ity is always a sobering thought. BUT enough of grave situations. Ex-Queen Narriman of Egypt is suing Ex-King Farouk for the tidy sum of 4,000 pounds( $11, 530) a month in alimony. She hasn't been divorced. She has just been deserted. She wants money enough to live on in the style to which she has become accustomed. Who says nobody loves a fat man? If she requires $11,000 -a month to compensate her for the loss. of Farouk, she must love him a lot SECOND thought: Maybe lt'a his money she loves. . , KARL RTTTER, a glittering fig ure of the gay nineties and the even gayer 1900's, dies in Bad Hcmburg, in Germany, near Frankfort. Ritter'a fabulous hotel in Bad Homburg was a favorite rendez vous around the turn of the century for the royalty of Eu rope and'for bluebloods general ly. Edward VII of England, whose reign is known as the Ed wardian era, loved Bitter's hotel when he was Prince of Wales, and it was at Bad Homburg that he destgned and introduced the Homburg hat Bad Homburg ("Bad" is German for "bath") has its history, you see. rFHAT was back in the days when the appearance of the British fleet at some troubled spot in the world was enough to quiet the disturbance and re store tranquility. It was also back in the days when the royalty and the nobil ity of Europe ate good food and drank good wine until their eyes bugged out and they could no longer get into their clothes. When that time came, they went to one of these spas and boiled themselves out in the hot springs until they could again get their belts buckled around their mid dles. Then they went back to their accustomed way of life and did it all over again. HPHE world has changed. 1 E wouldn't know whether or not it has changed for the better.. Clinton, Okla. (U.PJ Donald Gowdy, driving along a highway near here, decided to clock the speed of an airplane flying over head.

Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. announced today that a federal Grand Jury here has indicted Ben Gold, president of the Fur and Leather Workers Union, on charges of swearing falsely that he was not a Communist. A federal court warrant has been issued for Gold's arrest the Justice Department said, and he will be held in $10,000 bond when picked up.
