A New Measles Vaccine
Because measles can be a
very serious d i s e a s e one
that can produce all sorts of
in an occa
sional child
it is good to
read that at a
meeting
of the N.Y.
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.

some day before we get a cure

Watch Our Next Ad for
Medford at Night - A Tramp's-Eyo View;
Smells, Lights, Benches, and Whisperings
Editor'! note: We're not
quite lure what a "tramp"
ii, in lhii day of the Afflu
ent Society. 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.

Firemen Respond
To 61 Alarms in
Area in April
Medford's fire department
responded to 52 alarms dur
ing April, and the rural fire
district responded to nine, ac
coding to Fire Chief Gordon
Barker's monthly report.
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. Central America is leading
the world In population
growth, adding more than 1,
000,000 persns each year.

started to nod agreeably he
pulled me by the sleeve all
the way across Main, not
even waiting for the

let go until we stood facing
a certain wooden woman
