Women Elected To Public Office In Large Numbers Washington OI.R) More wom en are holding elective public offices today than ever before, according to Miss Bertha S. Ad kins, assistant to the chairman of the Republican National commit tee. A total of 323 women are serv ing in federal state offices to which they were elected, not ap pointed, she said. "There are 16 women mem bers of the House of Representa tives nine Democrats and seven Republicans," she said. "In the Senate Mrs. Margaret Chase Smith (R-Me.) is the only woman right now," she added. Mrs. Smith was reelected for her sec ond term in September, 1954. "A total of 306 women are members of the state legisla ture," Miss Adkins continued. "This is an increase of two over the previous all time high in 1954." The political line-up for wom en legislators is: Democrats, 117; Republicans, 186; two without party designation, and one inde pendent. The first woman ever elected to Congress was Jeannette Ran kin (R-Mont.) in 1916. Since then a total of 60 women were elect ed or appointed to serve in Con gress, she said. The first year of Federal wom en suffrage was 1920. And 29 women gained office that year in state legislatures.

Sunday, July 24, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Polio Season Rules Listed by Service By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) With Salk vaccine running far short of meeting needs, the Public Health Service again is furnishing safety do's and dont's to follow as this summer's peak polio sea son approaches. Whether your child has had one, two or none of the Salk injections, it would be wise to bear the precautions in mind, the PHS says. The tips also ap ply to adults. Keep general health as good as possible. Get more rest than usual and avoid over tiring. Eat sensibly. Don't plunge into cold water Couple to Marry In Fall Ceremony Applegate Mr. and Mrs. Har old E.

Old Dining Tables Can Be Made Useful Detroit (U.R) Your old dining-room table can be cut down to become a large, roomy coffee table. The round type is best to use, but oblong and square tables al so may be used. The coffee table can be used for many things, too, such as to hold pot ted plants, magazines, news papers or even for coffee. One woman painted her table a glossy black to create dramat ic interest, while another bleach ed the wood when she finished the table. This created a light effect suitable to her blond furniture. when your body is overheated. If you are caught in a rain. change to dry clothes and avoid chilling. Avoid going to places where you or your children will be caught in a crowd. Don't keep children separated from usual playmates, but when polio is about, bear in mind that it may spread in crowds. Encourage more thorough and more frequent hand washing in your family. Make sure hands are washed immediately before handling food and always after a trip to the bathroom. Be suspicious of water sup plies you do not know to be safe. Consult your doctor if any member of the family develops a fever with headache, sore throat, muscle pains or .weak ness, or stiff neck or back. .This is especially important when polio is in the community. Should one of your family de velop such symptoms, put him to bed and keep others, especially children, away from him until the doctor comes. The Service notes that at its start, poliomyelitis often is hard to distinguish from a severe cold, influenza, or some of the child hood diseases. In early stages there always is a rise in temperature. Other early symptoms are headache, vomiting, fretfulness, drowsi ness, stiffness, pain in the back and neck Snd sometimes a sore throat. Because many illnesses, espec ially childhood diseases, start in a similar way, "chances are good" that your patient does not have polio, PHS says. But since the medical and nursing care he receives from the beginning many have a "great bearing" on how he comes through the illness If it is polio, do not delay calling a. doctor.
