Academy of Medicine, D r s. Samuel L. Katz and John F. En- ders of Harvard reported that a promising "attenuated live vaccine" has been made which, in 77 of 79 children produced a very mild form of measles that hardly bothered anyone. The children did not have to stay in bed. H is hoped that this mild illness will now protect the children from ever getting a severe form of measles. The virus was attenuated or weakened by passing it 70 times through chick embryo in eggs. r 'A "i)r Alvarei Answer to last week's ad: STEAM IS NOT VISIBLE!

Egdahl of the Medical Col lege of Virginia reported having found that a substance called FIIA, when injected into rats, would protect 55 per cent of the animals from developing certain tumors that ordinarily are easily transplantable from one rat to another. This suggests that some day before we get a cure for cancer, we may get a sort of vaccine that will protect us from getting a tumor. The FHA produces a sort of infec.

But a young man who identified himself ai one luch brought in the following article the other day and asked if we'd like to print it. We decided we would. "Do you want a by line?" we asked him. "No." he replied. "How about a non de plume?" we inquir ed. He thought a moment and laid, " 'Bo Peep' wai the name of a famous tramp during the Depression. You can call me 'Bo Peep,' if you want." Here is 'Bo Peep's' story. Did you know that John son's Model Bakery opens up at 6 a.m.? Speaking as a tramp, I find such infor mation wit only interesting but useful. Have you ever walked along Main at dawn? If you love Medford you should do it sometime. That's when the town shows itself. There are no people or cars to get in the way. And there are many minor oddities such as neon signs glimmering bleakly against the sky-odd because there's nobody to read them but the milkman and the tramp, and the tramp isn't much of a consumer anyway. Also the useless stop lights that click from green to yellow to red. Even though there's no one to obey the stoplights or read the neons, I'm glad they are left burning through the night. Now from Fluhrer's Bak ery comes the scent of fresh bread, wafted along by the damp breeze, and I know that someone besides the milkman is at work. This morning I looked through the big window and watch ed two men hurrying about in the factory gloom. Fluh rer's, a wholesale bakery, is of no use to such as me. There is no counter where a hungry man can buy a rejected loaf for 15 pennies. So, I crossed the mist glazed street and sat on a stone bench in the park. It stands in the northwest corner and maybe I am the first person in the world ever to sit on it, for it is surely the worst bench in the western hemisphere. It is cold, has no back, and is so conspicuously placed that only a showoff could have any use for it. I studied the evergreens -how dark they looked in the grey light. Then another scent reach me, overpower ing the sawmill waste-burners as well as fresh bread. So they bake bran muffins at Fluhrer's? Angel food cake? Apple turnovers? No sir, they do not. Proof of This Statement I rose and followed the pastry trail like a blood hound. A man in a passing panel truck slowed down. He leaned out his window for a better look at the fig ure stalking down the side walk. This satisfied me as a showoff, although I wish ed he had come along when I was enthroned in the park. He drove on, having graded me no doubt as a wino. The trail led halfway down the block to the door of Johnson's Model Bakery. And the door, praise be, was wide open. And the lady in white behind the counter, bless her, sold me a luscious turnover, saying "This one didn't turn over so good! Too flat. You can have it for a nickel." So you see how useful such information can be. "Emotion clusters about common things," said the poet William Carlos Wil liams. A tramp has more time and inclination to study such things. He may tell you his life story for the price of a bowl of soup, but rarely do you hear of the corney things that stir his heart. Love and hate, major undertakings, are long ago beyond him. He doesn't know anyone well enough to love or be loved, to hate or be hated. The tall Irishman with white hair and crimson face.

Included in the city alarms were 10 dwelling fires of which seven were flue fires and two fires caused by elec trical appliances. The city department also responded to two public build ing fires and five fires in bus iness occupancies. There were also three car fires and two false alarms in the city. Of the nine alarms respond ed to by the rural district, six of them were for house fires. Four of these house fire were flue fires. City equipment spent 33 hours, 31 minutes out on alarms, and rural equipment spent 24 hours, 52 minutes on Placed in Service During the month of April the city's new pumper, which was recently purchased by the Rural Fire Protection district, was placed in service at the East Side station. The fire marshal made 51 inspections during the month, 37 of them in business occu pancies. He issued 60 orders and recommendations for the removal of fire hazards, and 48 fire hazards were remov ed. A total of 527 fire permits were issued during the month. Also during April, some 1,883 calls were made on Medford homes under the Medford Home Inspection program. Of the total number of calls made, 909 homes were actually inspected and 809 recommendations for the re ! moval of hazards were made. Firemen were refused en trance to 113 homes. Traffic Increases On State Counter The number of vehicles that crossed the state highway commission's permanent traf fic counter located at the in tersection of Main and Genes see sts., Medford, during ! April was considerably high- er than the number that cross - cd the same counter during April, 1959. t According to the state fig ures released by Medford's j traffic engineering depart- j ment, the average number of vehicles traveling on Main st., at its intersection with Gen- day during April was 11.393. , This is compared to the week April of a year ago. j The day on which the larg est number of vehicles were counted last month was April 1 15. when 12,372 cars were recorded. Results of last month's traf fic count also showed that an average of 10.975 vehicles ! drove past this location on j Saturdays and 8,261 on Sun days.
