during the war;" Miss Current said.
Gaming should be done by bud

Now is a good time to count jars
and buy new ones if necessary, the
home agent continued. There will be
need for a water bath Gamer with
rack. The guage on the pressure can
ner should be checked for accuracy
and safety, and jars, caps, and rings
should be in readiness when straw

early corn ripen.

Veterans Farm
Training Program
BY Cooper Elliott

The Veterans Farm Training Pro-
gram is a set-up provided by the
Veterans administration for the
purpose of rehabilitation. Only vet
erans of World War II are eligible
to participate. Through this set-up
the veterans who take part in it are
paid a monthly subsistence which
varies according to the veterans
status.
For example, if veteran, is single
and has no dependents, he will be
paid $65 per month by the Veterans
administration. If married, he will
be paid 500 per month.
Being one of the members of the
program myself, | find that among
the group there are various types Of
farming. One Of the members, Clyde
Gillian of Old Fort, grows hybrid
corn for seed. I grow mostly corn
as a crop and specialize in raising
pigs and some members go out for
farming in general which covers
several different kinds of crops.

proportion of from 0.8 to SO per
cent, and in tea, it varies from two

Five hitherto unknown nerve mall
aides from African jungles were re-
ported to the Fourth international
Congresses on Tropical Medicine and
Malaria meeting here today
They are closeiy related to the
dreaded poliomyelitis and encephall-
tbs of temperate climates. AL five are
due to filterable viruses, smallest OF
all living things, and their chief
point of attack is the central nery-
Gus system.
Thus far they have not been found
outside Africa. Humans are suscep-
tible to all five viruses and severe
illnesses have been reported but As
yet there have been no fatal cases
One attack by any of them appar-
emily results in the formation of
protective substances in the blood
which make the victim relatively
immune thereafter.
Maladies Are Described.
The new diseases were reported by
DR.. K. C. Smithburn, director of the
Yellow Fever Institute at Entebbe,
Uganda. All were discovered acci-
dentally in the course of yellow
fever Investigations They were de-
scribed by DR.. Smithburn as follows:
l. Bwamba fever. This is an acute
high fever which comes suddenly
with severe headache, backache and
general prostration. 1t lasts about
five days after which recovery is
rapid and complete.
Throughout the disease there is
moderate slowing of the heart
rate. 1t is probably fairly common
in the Bwamba country of western
Uganda. A virus obtained from the
blood of victims is different from
any other known to medicine.
West Nile Fever.
2. West Nile fever. There is one
known case, a woman who COM
planned of mild fever and head
aches. From her blood was obtained
a virus organism which caused
brain inflammation in monkeys.
Although not hitherto reported,
the malady in a sub-clinical form
apparently has been quite common
in the West Nile district of Uganda
since protective substances were
found in the blood of many natives.
The virus seems quite closely re-
lated to two strains of encephalitis-
the st. Louis strain which was re-
sponsible for a severe epidemic in
the Midwest few years ago and
the japanese type. which was a
major problem for the American
Army in the Far East
3. Semlike forest fever. This virus
was isolated from mosquitoes. 1t has
never been reported in human be-
ings but immunological tests showed
protective substances in the blood of
both men and monkeys. This seems
that the malady has been fairly
common, but ordinarily it may not
be severe enough for victim to
call a physician.
Bunyamwera Fever.
4. BunyamWera fever. This virus
was found in mosquitoes from an
extremely isolated section Of the
great Semlike forest which is known
only to Pigmy hunters. Protective
antibodies have been found in the
blood of both men and monkeys in
the region. This means they must
have had the disease at some time.
It is believed to cause mild fever

with nervous symptoms. This virus
does not have even family re-
semblance to any other known to
science.
S. Mengo encephalomyelitis. Five
strains Of this virus have been found
in monkeys, mosquitoes and a mon
goose. In the course of the lab
oratory experiments one of the
workers became infected. He suf-
fered severe headaches, fever, de-
lirium, stupor and deafness. The
illness lasted about 10 days but COM
plete recovery was slow.
All five diseases, it is believed,
have existed in men and monkeys
for a long time but they are found
in a region where there has been
little medical service in the past
and probably the natives paid no
attention to them. With the greater
accessibility of the region due to
air travel, however, there is strong
possibility that they may break out
of their isolated habitat and un-
dergo changes which will make them
serious epidemic diseases.

Norway Faces

NEW YORK, N. "a surge of
applications for residence in Nor
way has been noted by Norwegian
immigration authorities since the
turn of the year. The bulk of the
applications are said to come from
Finland and the middle European
states with considerable numbers
originating in Germany. The lat
ter include those of former Ger
man soldiers who served in Nor
way, as well as Norwegian-born
women who married Germans dur
ing or following the war Oslo re-
ports that a small detachment of
Norwegian police has been sent to
North Norway to handle eventual
refugee traffic entering there.

Production Up Is
Per Cent In February

NEW Monthly produc-
ton figures released by the Nor
wegian Central Statistical Bureau,
show Norway's industrial produc-
ton index at 1872 during February,
a rise of IS points or 1870 above
the previous month. Compared to
the 1947 February figure of 119,
output this year exhibits strong
err seasonal rise than usual, and
raises the export industry index
from 80 in January to 107 in Feb
ruary-the first time that the area
of production has topped pre-war
levels. Excluding herring oil which
though an export industry before
the war is now producing almost
wholly for the home market, the
export industry index is reduced
from 1O7 to 95. Canning and SIM
liar export industries reflected the
sharp seasonal up-sWeep, but iron
ore production remained insignifi-
cant and mining output for the
month was approximately half of
the 1888 index figure. Neither
electro-chemical nor electro-metal-
lurgical industries showed appre-
ciable gains and output was still
below 1916 and 1947. Current cleo
trio power shortages were respon-
sible for the low output. Pulp and
cellulose production rose during
February and is now approximate
ly two-thirds of 1888 while paper
production, held at $3.50 above
1888 or approximately on par with
the 1947 average. The index for
industries producing for home con-
sumption rose from 1874 in Janu-
airy to IA during the following
month.
