Newspaper Page Texto - o V O o o T'OURTEETT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, March IB, 1938 New Hope Offered in Protection of Polio Chicago !U.R) Scientists today offered new hope that children someday may gain po lio protection simply by swal lowing capsules or a special liquid. A group of New York and California researchers tested the use of two live polio virus strains and reported "a certain amount of optimism" about the method's eventual usefulness in the current Journal of the Am erican Medical Association. The two strains were, given to a group of 225 children in a state institution for mentally de fective children after their par ents granted permission. One type of virus was administered in capsule form, the other in liquid form. PLANT These NOW! Shade Trees (Complete Selection, in Various Sizes) Flowering Trees (Complete Selection) Camellias (Good Selection, in Bloom) GARDEN CENTER NURSERY (formerly Newhall's) 4361 S. Pac.Hwy. Ph. 2-760T 3 None of the children showed any outward signs of polio aft er receiving the weakened vir uses. But the scientists reported one strain appeared to let vir uses live in the intestinal tract for varying lengths of time. Some public health officials have objected to widespread ex perimentation with live viruses in the belief that they may be sources of contagion. However, the researchers said the weak ened viruses "are not very con tagious." The reason for testing the use of live viruses for immuniza tion against polio is to find some safe easy to take drug which will form antibodies in every person taking it. Anti bodies are agents which com bat foreign substances in the body. i Capsules Favored All children studied in the live virus test formed such an tibodies apparently without suf fering any effects of the disease, the report said. - The scientists concluded that capsules would be the best form of administering the viruses and preventing contagion. By using capsules, the mouth and throat are bypassed and only the lower end of the alimentary tract remains as a source of con tagion, they said. The report was submitted by Dr. Hilary Koprowski, Thomas W. Norton, and Mrs. Doris J. Nelson of the American Cyana mid company, Research Divis ion, Pearl River, N.Y.; Dr. George A. Jervis of the. New York Department of Mental Hygiene; Dr. Thomas L. Nel son of the California Depart ment of Mental Hygiene; and Drs. David L. Chadwick and Karl F. Meyer of the Univer sity of California School of Medicine.. American farmers own 7 mil lion motor vehicles and 4.5 mil lion horses and mules today. Ten years ago they owned 5.6 million vehicles and 11.9 million horses and mules.

S, 23-39-44-50, 169-70-83-84 A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington 1U.R) The circus has lost some of the glamor and madness that worked as a team with the ele- i phants, cotton candy and pink lemon ade. P. T. B a r num would come down with fits if he knew that all of the old Harman Nichols scnooi press agents either have flown the coop or gotten the ax. Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey have replaced the lov able, zany old guard with a bunch of high priced fancy word-slingers from Hollywood and Broadway. Able men, no doubt, but what do they know about tanbark,' or' what makes a jungle : beast leap through a flaming hoop? I have known a lot of the fabulous, oldsters through the years, starting with Dexter Fel lows. Dexter dressed the part. Loud plaid vests, decorated with a small gold log chain from which dangled the teeth from a couple of former tigers. Always he carried a gold headed cane, which he used to wake .up man aging editors by banging it on expensive mahogany desks Deep Gravel Voice Fellows was Mr. Three Ring himself - and when he came bouncing into town,, we'd most ly use the word "circus" toward the end of the piece and make the body, of the text about Broth er Dexter.. . Also, I knew and respected Frank Breaden, who barked out his stupendous superlatives in a deep gravel voice. And among others was Bev Kelley, who not long back ghosted a book by another circus great, the sad faced clown named Emmett Kelly. ' It was Bev who put me in an act over 20 years ago in Chi cago. By boss rang up the old time press agent and asked if he had a nice gentle elephant for me to ride in the opening parade under the big top. Bev said ele phants are apt to be a little ornery after standing stiff-legged in winter quarters. But he said let him think. He thought real hard and called back to say he had a won derful idea. "Why not," he said, "put Nick in a cage with a mangy old lion we have. No teeth. Tame like a lamb. Sleeps most of the , time. Nick could ride in the cage, dressed like another Leo." The Lion Roars Off I went to the circus, ex pecting to meet - an elephant named Tilly. Instead there was Mike, the king of the jungle. The lion stirred himself and, baring his toothless gums, cut loose a roar that must have been heard in Minneapolis. "Look, Mr- Kelly," I said, "This fellow doesn't like me and that goes double. Scratch me right now." , So Bev, who has been my friend ever since, pulled me over to clown alley. There Emmett Kelly and another clown weighted me down with pounds of make up, baggy britches and a pair of size 25 shoes. A short time later I found that it takes more than a silly get-up to wring a belly laugh out of the calloused patrons of the cir cus box seats. You have to know a few tricks. , Court Grants Damages For Trailways Accident Allstate Insurance company and Albert W. Holm of Seattle were awarded S486.39 damages early this week in a district court trial. The amount was sought from Continental Pacific Lines as the outcome of a bus auto collision in February, 1955, during a snowstorm in the Sis kiyous. Holm was driver of a station wagon involved in the accident with a Trailways bus. The com pany and Holm also are asking S250 attorney's fees. They are represented by At torney Robert Dickey. 4-H Club News Antelope Livestock Club The monthly meeting of the Antelope 4-H Livestock club was held on March 9 at the Antelope school house.

Two more years of labor peace in most of the aircraft industry seemed assured today as North American Aviation reached an agreement with the United Auto Workers on a new con tract.

Forty herds were tested by the association as part of the group's project to improve dairy cattle and keep accurate, usable records on herd produc tion. J. E.
