MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

Not even after the story we re-
Gently wrote of the Bamboo Gar
dens was printed, did we notice
that the gardens had through err
ror been placed "just outside of
Atlanta, Georgia" instead on just
outside Savannah. We are indebted
to Mrs. Paul Bisset for calling our
attention to the error. We did not
even visit Atlanta. Anyway Tom
my Anderson tells us that his wife,
while much interested in the story
of the bamboo, just does not be-
lieve anything could grow twenty
inches to two feet in day--as we
were told the bamboo sometimes
does. Mrs. Anderson evidently has
forgotten the story of "Jack And
The Beanstalk."
We did notice latter it was
printed) that last week we spoke
of Brooke Johns of "Zeigfeld
Folly" fame. Our only excuse is
that we had attended meetings"
three nights in row after work
ing all day. We we're interested in
Mr.. Johns statement that he was
going to put his banjo in moth
balls from now on, settle down to
serious campaigning, and that he
was going to reserve the right to
compose his campaign speeches.
Knowing Brooke we can bet that
the speeches will not be dull. How
ever, we question the wisdom of
putting the banjo in mothbaIls.
Walter johnson does not win on
his speeches. Somehow we were
surprised to learn that Brooke
Johns is Republican-anyway we
Democrats have Arch Mcdonald.
The following is an amusing in
cident.
Brooke Johns was recently in
troduced to John Sumner Wood,
and Wood asked him, "How do you
spell your last name ?" He spelled
it out "J-o-h-n-s," and Mr.. Wood
replied 81 was supposed to have
been named Johns Sumner Wood,
and | dropped the IS" Then Mr..
Wood inquired of Mr.. Johns wheth-
er he was related to Bishop John
Johns, the Fourth Episcopal Bish-
op of Virginia, and Johns replied
that the Bishop was his great
grandfather. "What coinci-
dence" said Wood, "He was my
great great uncle, so we are cou-
SINS" According to Mr.. Wood he
and Mr.. Johns agreed that one
just can't pick their relatives.
Those who are inclined TO throw
away any bits of bread or to eat
an unnecessary second slice,
should read the book recently pub
lished by Gather Warfield and his
Polish wife, HAMA. In simple Ian
guage and without any dramatics
they make one understand Just
what that bit of bread can mean
to the really hungry of the world.
Somehow it is more convincing TO
hear of hunger from one who
played in the streets of Rockville
as boy and grew up with US.
Are you planning TO raise plenty
potatoes this year? Those who
make their bread and rolls at
home may save flour by the use
of more potatoes. The Laytons-
vile women, and many others in
the county who make those delici-
Gus potato rolls that "meIt in your
mouth" use cup of mashed po-
tatoes to every cup Of liquid, there I
by using much less flour. And then
hoeing the potatoes and keeping
out the weeds will take your mind
off your troubles. There is nothing
so good as gardening for mental
satisfaction. BY the way, did you
know that the patroness of gard
eners is st. Dorothea? Her emblem

swimming in dart water NAV be
dangerous, too. 1t is well to STAY
away from crowds.
1t is important too, for the indi-
vidual to keep clean and for the
community to be kept clean. Flies
may spread infection, 50 all food
should be protected from flies and
other insects. Garbage should be
always covered, both in the home
and after it is taken to the street
for collection by the city. People
should always wash their hands
before eating, lest they have tou-
ched something that has germs
on it and the germs are carried
to their mouths.

that in many cases Gripping can
be prevented with proper treat
ment. ,
1t is therefore, very important
that any child or adult who gets
the disease be placed under good
medical care at once. 1t is most
unfortunate that sometimes peo-
pie try all kinds of remedies be-
fore thew seek medical advice.
When they finally go to a doctor
it NAV be too late to save the pa
tents life or to prevent him from
being crippled.
The first symptoms Of polio are
often a headache, unexplained
fever, a cold or an upset stomach.
If there is an outbreak Of infantile
PARALYSIS and a member Of your
family complains Of any Of these
symptoms. get in touch with a doc
tor at once.
Although we say we cannot pre-
vent polio, if people follow a few
simple rules they may avoid the
disease.
We know that people who are
all tired out are more apt to eaten
polio than those who get plenty
of rest. Chills also weaken resist
ance to the disease, 50 we should
not stay in cold water too long and
should avoid sudden chilling. To

and I want to mention a few
points which should be kept in
mind about this tragic disease,
which often leaves its victims
crippled for life.
Many people think of infantile
paralysis as a disease of very
young children, but older people
may get it too, SO everyone should
be careful if there is an epidemic.
1t is too bad, but there is not
one thing we can do to prevent
polio. Nobody knows exactly how
the disease is spread and it is very
hard to prevent a disease if we
do not know how it is spread.
There are certain precautions we
can take, however, that lessen the
danger of catching the disease.
Although we do not know how
to prevent polio, we have learned
a lot in recent years about treat
ing it. We have learned so much

Every mother in town, 1 believe
called me within one week last
summer when there was on OUT
break of infantile paralysis in a
nearby community. Everyone wan
ted to know what could be done
to protect her child from getting
polio.
Infantile paralysis is most apt
to occur in the summer months.
From June to September is the
danger period, with the greatest
number of cases usually occurring
in September. Undoubtedly there
will be outbreaks this summer, too
