By d. w. GUDAKUNST, NJ. d.

Infantile paralysis is a cruel
and battling disease. II is cruel,
because although it does not kill
over ten per cent of its victims,
it often cripples. II is battling,
in that while the virus has been
isolated in the laboratory, it is
so elusive and so small that
great difficulties attend scienti-
fic investigation. And while
the possible methods of trans
mission are known, science still

demic, and IL made its entrance
as forecast.
Early in the summer, sporadic
outbreaks flamde higher in the
west and southwest. California,
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas
were attacked by the epidemic.
The plague struck north to
Washington, east to Connecticut
and Cook County and Chica-
60 were soon in the cruel clutch
es of the Great Crippler.
The national foundation and
all its chapters went into action
and rushed medical aid and sup
plies TO, the area. Funds were
freely, but wisely, disbursed.
Chapters were ordered to use
all their funds il necessary
with promise of more from the
national fund-in order that no
victim be denied the utmost in
nursing and medical care.
AS the epidemic casualty list
grew the national foundation
was besieged with requests to
supply physical therapy techni-
clans, wool sterilizers and wash
ing machines for use in the
Kenny hot pack treatment, and
also respirators and apparatus
of all kinds.
There was money at hand, but
because of wartime inroads on
the nations medical compile
ment the main problem was the
securing of skilled workers, and
the obtaining Of essential ma
terials needed in the war eff
fort. Much was accomplished,
but there was a definite need for
trained physical therapy techni-
clans.
DUAL FIGHT
The fight against infantile
paralysis is of a dual nature, for
while research will ultimately
conquer the disease, it is inn
perative meanwhile to employ
every effective treatment tech
nique while the scientific search
goes on.
Repeated grants Of funds have
been given for study and inn
provement of the Sister Kenny
treatment methods, and various
allied treatments, and after an
18-month study at considerable
cost showed encouraging results,
the foundation instituted a
training program for nurses,
technicians and doctors in the
Kenny method. Hundreds of
these workers are now trained,
and can be rushed from coast
to coast at the first sign Of a.
epidemic. With them, local
chapters dispatch tons Of spe-
cial equipment to combat the
disease.
During the "all-out" Chicago
battle against the epidemic, the
foundations most learned scien-
lists conducted Investigations
and made tests at the scene and
these tests, still being surveyed
in test-tube and retort, may re-
veal the clues needed to bring
about cure and prevention of
the disease.
CONTINUE FIGHT
Thus America fight against
the foe of childhood continues,
with each local community put
ting its shoulder to the wheel TO
aid sufferers and science in their
double bladed attack.
The 1913 epidemic found Am
erica prepared, but it strained
the foundations facilities TO the
utmost-and provided large
number of cases which will
have to be under treatment for
years to come.
Infantile paralysis will strike
again this year.
How soon or how severity can
not be foretold exactly-but the
calls for aid will surely come
in to local chapters and the nat
ional foundation.
The. fight against dread in
fantile paralysis must 60 on.
From Jan. IA to Jan. 81 the
American people renew their
national pledge, and rededicate
themselves to the determination
that the children's victory must
be won.

"A $6 Question
Posed for Engineers
BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK

NEW YORK.
There's more than one $64 ques-
ton in radio. The engineers, who
say they have beaten a scien-
tiflc path with electronic research
stretching into the 1960s, are putting
one forward.
The question is: To what use will
public and industrial services put
many of the things they have
learned under war pressure? Wal
ter Evans, Westinghouse vice presi-
dent, asked it in an address pre-
pared for delivery before the Radio
Executives Club last week.
Declaring development and re-
search in radio in the war is per
haps thousand times that of the
last war, after which broadcasting
came into being" Evans said.
1--WE will end up this war with a
terrific amount of technique know
how and facilities All that's needed
to start a few new Industries is stc
know what service as yet unborn
what facility yet unknown, would be
useful in the American home, in in.
dustry, transportation or = in the
amusement field. That is the $64
question engineers are not equipped
to answer"
Turning to postwar home radio
sets, Evans said improvements re-
sulting from war development will
be added only as they can be assim-
Hated by the industry" At the be-
ginning it is going to be a race
among manufacturers for a slice of
the largest replacement market for
years to come.

member him even In the company OF

flesh, is Hollywood's Cinderella boy
IA year ago his name rang no gongs
|of recognition.
Bill Bendix was born at Forty
first street and Third avenue In
NYC, and when he was in his early
teens an event took place that made
him the envy of every kid in Amer
lea. John McGraw appointed him
mascot to what was then the great
est ball club on earth-the New
York Giants. Later he decided to
become q professional star and
joined q club as second baseman.
That's when Bills features began
to get that scrambled look. He broke
his nose three times, then called it
quits.
Bendix looked in one evening on
the Henry Street Settlement to see
why his pals weren't around any
more. When he discovered they were
acting in amateur productions, he
roared like a wounded bull and made
for the door. The instructress, Miss
Eva Fry, hung on to his coattails
and persuaded him to read lines, too.
That's when Bendix became a ham.
Bills grocery clerking job folded and
he joined the staff of the Federal
Theater Project.

for William Saroyan's THE Time Of

pen into Bendix's hairy paw and
pointed to the dotted line. After

several sisters-perhaps children of
Joseph by an earlier marriage. That
Jesus on the Cross should commit
His mother to the care of John,
rather than to that of His brothers
and sisters, lends weight to this
theory. We know that His brothers
and sisters did not accept Him as
Messiah until after the resurrection.
Then James became head of the
church in Jerusalem. But certainly
Jesus grew up in a large family, and
as soon as He became old enough,
worked as carpenter in His
fathers shop, making chiefly yokes
and plows.
Out of those quiet Nazareth years
came the Life that has ever since
assuaged the thirst Of the world.
We may be very sure that the
living Christ today finds Joy in the
homes where He is welcome. AS
life's richest rewards are in the
home, so the presence of Jesus Is the
most potent force in domestic life.
Chickering's and criticism and quar-
reling cannot abide where He is.
And the sterling virtues of charac-
ter are developed in lives that grow
up under His influence.
No higher ambition is possible to
young persons than to establish a
true home. This is an achievement
evoking the fullest talents of man
or a woman. Physically, 1t may be
a log cabin or a spacious mansion
spiritually, the home where Christ
resides Is a citadel of civilization.
The "one thing needful" in every
home is fellowship with the Son of
Man, as Jesus 56 times calls himself
in the Gospels.
