Research On Polio
Done In County,:
Schools To Open
Parents Asked To
Watch Children
For Symptoms

DR.. L. L. Lumsden, who was with
the United States Public Health Ser
vice for a good many years, has been
in Holmes County doing research
work On poliomyelitis, or infantile
paralysis. He and l have visited ev-
cry case in the county, making a
complete history in all details. l
understand he will spend several
months in Mississippi. He is working
with the ~Infantile Paralysis Foun-
dation. Others are working in other
states, and it is hoped that through
their combined efforts, we will find
out more about infantile paralysis as
to its cause and its spread. So far,
we feed definitely sure that it is a
disease caused by a virus or a COM
bination Of viruses, and we know
that it affects the front part of the
spinal cord. AS 10 the definite meth
cd of spread, we do not know.
We have had no recent cases in
Holmes County. Practically all cases
have had expert attention through
the Crippled Children's Service or
the new lnfantile Paralysis Clinic
that has been opened on the old in
sane asylum grounds. This clinic
was opened on Monday. September
1. We are 10Y sending the cases
as soon as they are diagnosed to this
clinic.
So far, Yazoo County has more
asses than any other county in the
ate. All Of u cases have lived or
ave visited that section of the coun-
Y nearest TO Yazoo.
As we have had no recent cases,
he schools will be allowed to open
5 scheduled; we are asking all par
nts to watch their children carefully
Turing the first three weeks of school,
I'D if any should develop symptoms,
$ influenza Or a cold, to keep
hem away from school until they
re well. These are usually the first
ymptoms of infantile E/ralysis. If
4 case should develop in a school
hid, the classroom of this child will
q closed for three week and the
ruck on which this child went to
.chool will be slipped three weeks.
All contacts will be quarantined for
4 like period OF ine.
We may expect a definite decrease
n the instance of this disease as
sooon as we have cooler weather.
Your cooperation, of course, is great
y appreciated.

farm Bureau
Work Explained
By H. l.. Nichols
Every Former In
Holmes County
Asked To Join

almost every day somebody asks
me "What is the Farm Bureau?' re-
Gently stated Mr.. H. L. Nichols, Pre-
sident of the Holmes County Farm
Bureau" That certainly is a fair
question for we are asking every
farmer in the county to join the
Farm Bureau and not only the far
mers but everyone should know some
thing about this great farm organi-
z%ation' continued the local presi-
dent.
"The Farm Bureau is an organiza-
ton of farmers working toward 'Eq-
uality for Agriculture. 1t is farmer
controlled, farmer operated, and far
mer directed. The organization works
for farm Improvement by education
and legislation. The Farm Bureau in
Mississippi is not a buying or selling
organization. 1t is simply a group of
farmers who realize that Sin union
there is strength" and that farmers
can eve attain an equal footing
with other organized groups until
they become organized themselves"
"The Farm Bureau is thoroughly
Democratic. There is a state organ
ization made up of county organiza-
tions. The state Farm Bureau can
do only those things which delegates
from the county Farm Bureau au-
thorizes. Then, there is a National
organization made up of the state
organizations. The American Farm
Bureau "a do only those things
which delegates from the several
state organizations authorize II to
10. At all times and in all places the
control of the organization is in the
hands of the farmers or his au-
thorized voting delegates.
There are 70 county Farm Bu-
reaus in Mississippi which are mem
bers of the Mississippi Farm Bureau
Federation. There are 38 states in

"BEHIND THE SCENES IN
AMERICAN BUSINESS"
By John Croddock

NEW YORK, Sept. Sits now apparent
that July Marked a temporary peak In the
national defense boom. Production and dis
tribution activity Of the nation has receded a
bit in August and so far in September. One
reason has been a showdown in steel, auto
and cotton mill activity, but a contributing
cause has been material shortages which are
now hampering output of many small manu-
facturers who produce strictly for CIVILIAN
consumption. These are symptoms which IN
dictate that the American economy is being
changed over from a peace-time to a war
time basis at a more rpaid rate. A glance at
the bullying backlogs of national defense or
ders of individual companies, however, gives
assurance that production soon will make a.
mother broad surge upward.

HOARDING-Despite the fact that banks
are in a strong position today, a phenomenon
of the times is a great increase of money in
circulation. During the week following La
Dor Day, money in circulation topped $10,-
600, 0OO, 900 for the first time in the nations
history. There are two explanations for
this. Hoarding by persons whose temperament
makes them fear the worst during pE:ods of
war and revolution is one. Another is that
the rising tempo of business activity has in
creased the need of paymaster for cash to

sleek design Of the exterior
which will grace any kitchen,
are some Of the features Of the
latest lire Of gas refrigerators.
Because Servel Electrolux has
q freezing system which has no
moving parts to wear out or be-
como noisy, housewives are
swinging over to this modern
type Of refrigeration" their rep
resentative said. ''This unique
freezing system stays silent, lasts
longer assuring the user long

comparative freedom from re-

frigeyation is different from

who loves beauty in the kitchen.
Last year q novel shelving
arrangement was introduced
whereby a housewife could raise
or lower shelf into one of three
positions, remove storage trays
to suit her convenience or place
them In such position 80 she
could store bulky foods without
disturbing other foods stored in.
the refrigerator. This hexibil-
ity has been further enhanced
In this years model. A second
large shelf has been added which
may be placed in one Of two
positions to meet the housewives
needs. The addition Of the new
shelf gives added space for stor-
ing bulky foods.
"Another feature In the new
deluxe models IL the increased
ice cube storage capacity. Re-
designing of the ice cube stor-
age space and the ice cube trays
provide for q substantial in
crease in the net volume Of ice
cubes. A new kind of trigger
release loosens the grid and ice
cubes from the tray as the tray
Is taken from the freezing unit.
The deep storage trays in the
bottom Of the refrigerator are
removable and interchangeable
which permits the housewife to
utilize every available inch Of
space. In the case of bulky
foods all the housewife has to do
Is to raise the adjustable shelves,
place the storage trays one on
top of the other.
