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. "Since then
the number has steadily climbed
to the all record high this year
of 306 women," she said.
Nebraska adopted a unicame
ral legislature 19 years ago. This
year for the first time a woman
is serving. She is Mrs. Kathleen
A. Foote (R.)
"Four states Alabama, Ark
ansas, Georgia and Oklahoma
have no women state legislators,"
Miss Adkins concluded.

PARKING STAMP
Washington (U.R) Down
town businessmen here have
thought up a new scheme to
woo customers, who've been
shopping in the suburbs. They
plan to provide an hour of free
parking. A shopper will be able
to park at any lot and then get
a stamp at the store to cover the
first hour of the parking fee.
The businessmen believe it to be
the only plan of its kind in the
country.

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

Ballerina Teams
Entertain at Camp
Camp White A new type of
program was introduced at the
domiciliary theatre Friday night
when two teams of ballerinas
from the Colleen Hope School of
the Dance went through their
routines in a ballet class con
ducted on the floor of the the
atre. Colleen Hope has made ar
rangements to bring the class
out as a regular feature of the
entertainment program in fu
ture. 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.
