The veto of the emergency
clause in the social security ap-

ernor said I'm 1888 an act was
passed which permitted the opera
ton of pilchard reduction plants
:. this has become highly con-
troversial subject. II seems to me
that more study should be given to
this subject before action is taken
barring this type of plant.

Conner describes the first epidem-
ic of infantile paralysis in the
United States as taking place in
1943. The early paralysis was first
noted and then later Strumpell in
1854 reported the disease was in
fictitious could be given from one
person to anotheD. Cornil in 1868
made pathologic studies ana found
that certain nerve tracts in the
brain underwent degeneration in
the course of the disease resulting
in the paralysis.
From an isolated disease to a
widely known and spread disease
infantile paralysis has passed
within the past fifty years into a
problem of first magnitude.
Infantile paralysis is probably
caused by a virus, of filterable
secretion from case and is usual
ly contracted through the nose and
throat of another Individual Most
studies of infection have been
made III monkies which are some

contract diseases through the

At present there is no known

several have been tried. 1t is be-

been used and also one of zinc

endings in the nasal.

1eck.'
A case Of infantile paralysis may
cause a child or adult to have an
onset like any common head cold
or "flu" however On about the
third or fourth day, paralysis
strikes some part of its body. Pa h
in the neck may be severe also the
child may become too weak to- hold
up its head.
The accurate diagnosis in some
cases is difficult even by tho5e
trained to handle cases. 1t may be
confused with meningitis, rheu-
matte fever, wry neck, and even
appendicitis may stimulate a case
of infantile paralysis.
Treatment of infantile paralysis
is best done at the hospital.
Spinal puncture is done often to
reliev pressure on the spinal cSfd
which often gives severe head
ache. Oxygen and carbondioxide
may be of value when given
through the nose.
Much publicity has attended the
use OF the Iron Lung and every
one has come to look upon it as
uniformly life saving apparatus.
However its use is limited to
highly specialized group of cases,
and although it may prolong life,
it does not ultiE' ately save life.
Adequate bed rest and proper
splinting during the acute stages,
of paralysis, sedative given to
relieve pain, and after care, con-
sisting of messages, baths, electro
cal treatments any thing design
cd to restore function to the vast
ed muscles is the best treatment
fer infantile paralysis. Isolation q
cases from others who may con
tract it too is necessary in order to
prevent its spread.

WASHINGTON lamp - one
of the most dangerous procedures
followed by groups seeking to ad-
vance the cause of the Negro In
the United States is the establish
ment of "all-Negro'' units in social
or work agencies.
For instance, the case of the
WPA is cited as an example: Some
months ago, well-intenGioned
group of Negro citizens visited the
administrative offices of the set-up
and demanded that an all-Negro
racial relations bureau be estab-
lished-with the entire work of the
unit taken care of by Negroes.
Puzzled officials listened attentive
ly and finally conceded the request
and set up an all-Negro office.
However, later in the life of the
WPA, one of the workers saw an
opportunity for the entry of sew
eral Negro stenographers into the
stenographic pool maintained now
adays in huge corporations and in
