THE HOUSE CAT

All game authorities are of one
mind when it comes to condemning
Tie travelling house cat as confirm
ed and bloodthirsty killer of game
and song birds. l have personally
seen one of these cats catch and kill
full grown cock pheasant, then
raise his back bristles and spit in de-
lance when approached 1t is need
less to say he never killed another
bird.
1t is true that one, or at most two,
cats may be useful around the farm
buildings if properly controlled. You
need not necessarily look for much
damage to be done on birds during
the day, except by town cats unless
the day happens to be cool and
cloudy. But when the sun sinks in
the West the ordinary farm cat, if
not locked in the granary, will begin
to twitch his tail and look longingly
down the farm lane. His forays Of
ten extend well into the morning
hours. Those of you who have driven
our highways at night are all famil
lar with those cleaning eyes so Of
ten noticed along fence lanes and
road bitches. The cat is out for no
good purpose. He know where to find
his bird meat, otherwise he would
not confne his hunting activities to
weedy roadsides and farm fence
lanes. Therefore, it is plain enough
why all cats should be locked up at
night.
The semi-wild and wild housecat
does his hunting both day and night,
but he does it farther away from
public roads and inhabited dwellings.
This bloodtkirsty killer confines his
activities to timber and heavy thick
cts, and sleeps during the daytime
under rock lodges, hollow stumps or
culverts. He deserves shooting at
every opportunity. He is the number
one public enemy of our beneficial
wildlife.
Never keep more cats than neces-
sary. None is better. Never dispose of
unwanted kittens by leaving them
along highway. They grow into
wild cats. Cats may have use, but
it is difficult for bird lover to ascer-
tain what that use might be.

SISTER KENNY CHARGES PLOT
AGAINST INFANTILE
TREATMENT

Forces so powerful that they even
succeeded in blocking Congression-
al investigation are arrayed against
the work of Sister Elizabeth Kenny,
whose revolutionary technique for
the treatment of infantile paralysis
has made her the storm center of a
national controversy, Representative
Donald l.. O'Toole, of Brooklyn, has
charged.
Sister Kenny, whose revolutionary
method of treating infantile paraly-
sis has brought her global attention,
is convinced that all her difficulties
in winning recognition are attribu
table to the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, of which Basil
O'Connor is president, and tie Am
erican Medical Association, for which
Dr.. Morris Fishbein is spokesman,
according to an article in the October
issue of Cosmopolitan magazine in
which she tells for the first time hel
own story of the rebuffs which she
met in this country.
"Nobdy is interested in your the
ories," she quotes O'Connor as say
ing to her at the end of a two hour
conference after sEe presented to
him an official letter from the Pre-
mier of Australia highly commend
ing her work. you had better return
to Australia.
Engulfed with despair at this re-
ception she was about to return to
her native Australia when unofficial
recognition of the merit of her treat
ment won her an appointment as
Special Guest Instructor on the staff
of the University of Minnesota and
the people of that state gave her a
home and big hospital-the Eliza
beth Kenny Institute-in which to
continue her work
Although medical societies affilia-
ted with the American Medical AS
sociation have endorsed the Sister
Kenny method of treating infantile
paralysis, and part of the treatment
is even used at the Georgia Warm
Springs Foundation, of which O'Con-
nor, is president, the Natlonal FOun-
dation has denied Sister Kenny any
of it's millions for further research,
she charges.
Commenting on the blocking of a
Congressional inquiry which she
sponsored, Representative O'Toole
said:
Il knew that such an inquiry
would prove Sister Kenny, who un-
fortunately isn't an M. D., has the
only successful treatment for infan-
tile paralysis in all the world.
"But some of the most powerful
forces in the United States threw
their weight against such an investi-
gation-weight used right up to the
top. We were up against a stone wall
and lost, and so told Sister Kenny"

Because restrictions have been re-
laxed on the production of telephone
equipment for civilian use, many OF
the thousands of applicants for tele-
phone service are asking "How soon
will I get my telephone?"
This is natural question. The
public is reading of the removal of
wartime restrictions in many lines OF
business. Some of these have gone
into actual production and are be-
ginning to supply the backed-up de-
mands of their customers.
The peak of the Bell Systems tele-
phone shortage was in August. Then
there were about 100000 untitled
orders for service. More orders come
in every day, but telephones are now
being installed faster than the new
orders come in. 1t is expected that
100000 new telephones will be manu-
factured between July and Decem-

OVER MILLION IN MILK
PAYMENTS

Maryland farmers received nearly
$1,3O0,000 in payments for second
quarter milk and butterfat produc-
offices during July and August, ac-
cording to Joseph H. Blandford,
State AAA Chairman. Aimed to en-
courage production of fluid milk,
butter and cream, the payments were
made on the basis of production dur
ing April, May and June of this year.
During the rest of October and
November farmers should file their
applications for the dairy payments
covering the third quarter of the
year in the months of July, August
and September. Applications for pay
ment can be made only during these
two months following the quarter,
Mr.. Blandford points out.
During the flush product n
months of June and July, payments
were scheduled on about 10000
pounds of butterfat and 100000
pounds of fluid milk a month.
Rates of payment for the third
quarter of the year are 55 cents a
hunderdweight for fluid milk, and 13
cents a pound of butterfat. For the
final quarter of 1945, payments will
increase to 70 cents a hundredweight
for fluid milk, and II cents pound
for butterfat. Funds prov d
through the AAA by the Commodity
Credit Corporation are aimed to help
farmers offset the high cost of feed,
at the asme time that prices of milk
products to consumers are kept from
rising.

Shirt, Pajama Short
age To Continue

Skirts and pajamas may continue
to be scarce until the middle of next
year.
The National Association of Shirt
and Pajama Manufacturers, has
warned that expectations of an end
to the shortage by Christmas are
contrary to the fact.
Judging from current indications
it seems doubtful there wilr be an
adequate supply of garments to
handle consumer demand before the
middle of 1916 or thereabouts," the
association said in bulletin to mem
bers.
Army cancellations, it said did not
affect the civilian supply in any de-
gree and that the Navy has not ter
minated any of its contracts for
white skirts.

Der 81 of this year and 100000 in the
first three months Of 1946.
The Western Electric Company, the
manufacturing branch Of the Bell
System, is now geared to the peace
time manufacture of telephones and
equipment. In the next twelve
months it is expected that more tele-
phones will be installed than were in
all of France and Belgium before the
war.
Even this will not give service to
everyone who wants it. Complicated
switchboards will have to be installed
new buildings will have to be built
to house the new switchboards. But
the Bell System is planning to give
service to all who want it, to restore
standards of service and to raise them
even higher. Telephone facilities are
being turned back to civilian service
just as fast as they were turned to
the instant needs Of war.
