z Dumfries Buildings
Destroyed by Fire

Nearby Virginia fire companies
today joined with the State Fire
Marshal's Office in seeking the
cause of a blaze which last night
destroyed a restaurant, garage and
living quarters near Dumfries, Va
The blaze leveled Steed's Inn
on U. S. Route I, one mile north
of Dumfries, the living quarters OF
the families of Richard Mack and
Goldie Welsh, both colored, and
the garage. These were housed in
two frame one-story buildings
occupying a space of about $50
feet, with a six-foot space between
them.
The fire started about 7::30 pm,
and spread so rapidly that the
structures were almost burned to
the ground before f1remen could
reach the scene.
Robert Lamp. who lives at Por-
ter's Inn, across the highway, said
there was some difficulty in sum-
moning f1remen by telephone and
finally a motorist had to drive
to the Triangle Volunteer Fire
Department to sound the alarm.
Other volunteer companies re-
spending included Occoquan,
Quantico. Mount Vernon and
Penn-Daw.

Board Seeks Federal Funds
For New Alexandra School

Federal funds will be asked to
help pay for the proposed new
Alexandria high school.
The school board last night
authorized Schools Supt. T. C.
Williams to make application for
Federal aid on the project. He
said preliminary plans for the
school will be placed before State
officials for approval on Monday.
Mr.. Williams explained that the
Federal assistance will come out
of the city's share of funds under
Public Law 815. He said the city
can expect between $468.686 and
$148.916, all of which probably
will be applied to the high school.
The superintendent said it is
necessary to file an application
requesting help on a specific pro-
ject-such as the high school
even though the school board
sometime ago made a general ap-
plication for Federal assistance.
Mr.. Williams said he also is
preparing the necessary data to
file an application for Federal
assistance in the operation of
schools.

service by 18-year-olds. It is the
committees intent that the 18-
year-old draft be reduced to a
universal military training pro-
gram-without' active duty serv-
ice-as soon as the international

the UNIT program would take too
much power away from Congress.
In other amendments. the COM

/. Voted to require four months

New Drugs Perform Wonders
But Still Few Cure-alls
By DR.. HOWARD WEIGH

There isn't the slightest proof that
trace minerals will cure mastitis or
anything else True, when one or
the other Of these minerals is lack
ing in the forage, something is likely
to happen. Golfer occurs when iodine
is deficient, lack of cobalt causes
emaciation and anemia, etc.
But mastitis is due to we'll
known germ, streptococcus, and
these trace minerals have no effect,
good or bad, upon bacteria or bac-
terial diseases. Furthermore, all
analyses and investigations have
failed to show that there is lack

experiments have proved their value
and the manufacturer can guarantee
certain definite results. Al new radio,

satisfied. These machines have been
tested and tried and remodeled and
worked over until they actually will
do what is claimed for them.
No such guarantee or proof is sup
piled with these mineral remedies.
We have only the bare statements
made by the statesmen. We do not
say that a mixture of trace minerals
will not improve mastitis case. We
do say that there is no earthly rea-
son why trace minerals should have
any more effect on mastitis than a
mixture of sawdust and carbolic acid
or any other unheard of mixture.
Just because a half dozen truly
wonderful drugs have been de-
veloped in the last decade, and there
are hopes that further developments
will be made, there is no reason that
stockmen and dairymen should buy
anything that is offered to them in
the line of alleged cure alls.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-07-01

and veterinary, turned the SharpeSt
corner in the history of either profes-
sion.
The development of sulfani1amide,
followed in rapid succession by sui
fadiazine, and dozen other drugs of
the sulfa group, revolutionNed the
treatment of infectious diseases and
most of the conditions brought on by
bacterial invasion.
Again, in the early 40's the de-
velopment of penicillin, the first of
the anti-biotics, made a tremendous
advance along the same line. Condi-
tons hitherto considered hopeless
yielded to the sulfa drugs, or to
penicillin, aureomycin, streptomycin
and other antibiotics. Then combina-
tons of two or more sulfonamideS,
or of sulfa drugs with penicillin or
other antibiotics, in some diseases,
proved more effective than single
drug, alone.
Later in the 40's, new element
was introduced, the treatment by
hormones, the products of the glands
that regulate our internal machinery.
The field of usefulness of these two
hormones, called cortisone, and
A. c. T. H. is not completely estab-
ished as yet, but these drugs have
wide and spectacular range. Other
developments along these lines are
bound to follow.
Becoming Cure-Alls
All these curative agents were ire
mendously expensive at first, but as
they came into mass production, the
cost dropped sharply. The first cost
of penicillin was terrific, but now,
stoclxmen, and dairynen in particu-
lar, use penicillin and sulfa drugs
literally and for all imaginable all
ments.
One result of this era of miracle
drugs has been to convince the pub
lie that anything is possible. We have
seen the impossible accomplished.
Certainly tuberculosis and cancer
and leukemia and dozen other
hitherto incurable conditions can
also be cured if some smart labora-
tory worker can just hit on the right
combination.
The public is completely gullible.
Any fast talker can sell almost any
thing in the medical line and there
are plenty of fast takers. The pub
lie does not wait for indisputable
proof of the value of these prepare
lions. IF they can afford the cost
they will buy.
A weird merry go-round has de-
veloped as the result of this situa-
ton. Penicillin is very valuable In
the treatment Of mastitis in dairy
cows, and dairymen that own mas
titis-affected cows keep them full o.
penicillin. Now penicillin prevent.
the growth of most of the common
bacteria, and bacteria are necessary
in the process of cheese-making. A.
result milk containing penicillil
will not make cheese, and the cream
cry people are turning handspring
over this new angle of affairs. 1
batch of milk loaded with penicillil
is a complete loss, as far as cheese i
concerned.
So now we have new product 70

LAKE WALES, Fla.-Yal

AAhAE WALES, Fla.-4 ankeeS
are apparently suspicious of true
Southern hospitality, Lake Wales
style.
For two years now, a group OF
Lake Waleans who believe theirs
is the best town in the best State
in the best Nation on earth have
been trying to get Yankees down
here so they can see for them
selves. They have offered the
trip for free, with absolutely no
strings attached.
And even though the offer was
made when Florida was basking
in the sunshine, and when the
blizzards were bowling up North,
the offer has gone begging-well,
almost, anyway.
In 1949, the offer was open to
every community between 5000
and $4,000 population in States
east of the Mississippi River, out
of the deep South.
Only five of the approximate
700 eligible communities took the
