Polio Epidemic
In Boston Easing;
Other Areas Hit
Boston (U.R A polio epi
demic which has stricken 1123
victims was believed on a "grad
ual decline" in hard-hit Boston
today but was spreading rapidly
to areas outside the city.
Sixtv-eieht cases were re
ported in the state yesterday.
Last year at this time there
vere only 103 cases. The situa
tion was considered a state-wide
epidemic when the 1000 mark
was reached.
Boston Health Commissioner
John H. Cauley said that a de
crease of three cases over the
previous day was encouraging.
More Indicative
"A gradual decrease is more
Indicative of a leveling off than
a precipitous drop in the num
ber of cases," Cauley said.
"T h e situation has not
changed any just because it has
been labeled an epidemic,"
said Dr. Joseoh P. Reardon of
the Massachusetts Health De
partment. O "The disease is on the down-
grade in Boston or at least has
leveled off." Reardon said. "It
is now beginning to move out
(3 of the city. Last week it moved
into the Connecticut Valley
area."
G He said the Berkshire Hills
region and Cape Cod are the
only areas to escape epidemic
conditions.
The county chapter of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis said it was prepared
to give financial assistance to
families of polio patients in the
greater Boston area. The chap
ter now is pa3'ing medical ex
penses for "more than 350 vic
t:ms of the current polio out
break," it said.
There has been only 23 cases
among children who received a
single shot of Salk anti-polio
Xvaccine in the foundation's pro
gram. There was a single case
among children who had two
or more shots. Some 160,000
children received a single shot
and 20,000 received two or more
hots before the program was
galled off because of the polio
season.

000,000 a year.
The measure will provide an
across the board increase of 12
per cent for 185,000 persons now
receiving pensions of less than
$1,500 a year.
Others who are receiving larg
er annuities will get a smaller
percentage increase but bigger
in actual cash. No pension, how
ever, will be increased above S4,
104 a year or 342 a month. This
will set a maximum of about
$360 a year on increases anyone
can receive.
The measure is aimed primari
ly at benefitting persons who re
tired in the past on small annuities.

Carpenter Comes Up With 'Dream House1
Capable of Being Built by
Chicago (U.R) On a hilltop
near suburban Barrington Car
penter Manning Stires is build
ing a dream house almost any
do-it-yourself enthusiast could
put up with a minimum of help.
"About all you need is one
helper and a hammer," said
Stires.
Strictly speaking the spacious,
T-shaped ranch house Stires is
building is not a prefab. It might
be called a precut.
It incorporates the latest build
ing techniques developed by
some construction-wise college
professors at Purdue and the
University of Illinois.
The house represents the con
ventional builder's answer to the
prefab, and requires less labor
to build.
The exterior walls are framed
with pre-formed panels which
soon you may be able to buy
from your lumber dealer. The
roof is framed with pre-formed
trusses.
The wall panels are two feet
or four feet wide and almost
ceiling height. Each panel has a
sole plate, a top plate and studs
made with two-by-fours.
No Waste to Sheathing
To this rectangular frame is
nailed conventional sheathing,
obtainable in two and four-foot
widths so there is no waste.
Stires has carried the pre
forming idea a step further and
has insulated each panel with
conventional batting type insula
tion material.
The roof trusses are something
of an innovation, too. Glue is

used to hold the truss members
together.
Stires learned all about glue
at a University of Illinois short
course for contractors.
"One of the professors told us
the Egyptians used casein glue,"
Stires said. "Archaeologists have
dug up glued objects 3000 years
old that haven't come unstuck."
Each truss weighs 70 pounds
and can be installed by two men.
Stronger Roof
Stires said the stress and strain
experts declared that the trussed
roof is stronger than a conven
tional rafter roof, and it doesn't

Dr. J. P. Caldwell, attending
physician, said the 69-year-old
Martin died from a respiratory

Martin was elected governor

conventional roof sometimes
does.
The exterior walls are topped
by a "continuous" lintel made
of double two-by-sixes running
all the way around the house.
This permits the builder to cut
windows and doors anywhere he
chooses.
Flooring the house is a breere,
because when the house is
framed it's just one big room,
which can be floored in one
operation. The interior partitions
are put in later, and are non
bearing. The house Stires is building is
a luxurious number with four
bedrooms, a huge living room
and fireplace and a spacious din
ing area.
It uses more lumber than a
conventional model, but none is
wasted. There are no scraps lying
around the building site.
"And almost anybody could
build it, with the help of his
uncle or brother-in-law," Stires
said.
