A Swede dropping in to our
office the other day to enquire
about our Joke situation" turned
over the following:
A Cooks and Mattresses bust
ness agent told us the other day
of a Scandinavian who didn't be-
lieve in flying saucers until one
day he tried to pinch the waitress
leg.
A Swedish girl at the University
of Washington told of the day
she was riding bus in downtown
Seattle and noticed that her fell
low passengers looked so unhappy
They looked so sad" she
said, 80 1 thought I'd smile at
a man across the aisle from me,
and do you know what happened?
Heavens! he beamed all over
and said, Thanks for that smile,
thank you, that's the first smile
I've seen all day.' And you
know, everyone on the bus got a
laugh out of thatw
A Norwegian paper informs us

beck, almost keeling over D.. That
was his name all right, and it so
happened that this Ibsen was con-
nected with the book publishing
business, too.
That reminds us of the young
Norwegian exchange student at
the U. of Wash. by the name of
Thor Heyerdahl, exactly the same
as that of the man of Kon-Tiki
expedition fame :. 1t seems that
every time the student was intro

the more a person gets the more
he wants." The judge nodded his
head and said: Eyes, we thought
about giving you IL months. How
much more would you want to

A Norwegian paper tells of an
old lady who purchased a house
on the other side of the Atlantic
There was a little trouble;
you see the house was situated on
the boundary between U.S.A. and
Canada and there was an extern
sive investigation to determine ex-
actly where she really lived
Finally, the lady received notice
that the house was in U.S.A.
She was very happy over this. She
had always heard that the winters
in Canada were so cold.

distinguishing mark is a grayish
membrane which forms in the throat
or nose. It's early symptoms include
fever and sore throat and often re-
semble those of an ordinary cold.
Diphtheria is caused by a germ
from person to person by those who
are i'll or those who have picked up
the germ. Healthy adults or children
sometimes pass on diphtheria germs
even when there is no case of the
disease in their community. It is
almost impossible to protect your
child against such unsupported or
unsuspecting carriers except by i'm
munization.
Your doctor can tell you when
your baby should have his first in
jections. The usual recommended
ton today is for two successive doses
of diphtheria toxid when the child
is two to six months old, reinforced
by booster shots three to II months
later. To control diphtheria effec-
lively, booster doses should be con-
tinued in preschool days and on
through the early school period.
1t is now possible to combine the
immunizing agents for diphtheria,

Diphtheria-Why Take A Chance?

DApHLucIId-Wny Idke "A Cudnct'
Parents once dreaded the approach
of winter. To them cold weather
meant diphtheria and the very name
struck terror in their hearts.
Until the discovery in 1895 of diph-
liberia antitoxin, too many parents
had had to sit helplessly by while
diphtheria strangled their children
to death or paralyzed them with its
poisons. There was little or nothing
they could do. Medical progress
since that time, however, has re-
duced deaths from diphtheria in this
country from 35 per cent to five per
cent of those stricken. Diphtheria
toxoids now in use afford almost
complete immunity against the di-
sease.
Parents today can do something
about diphtheria. They can protect
their children from birth by having
them immunized.
In fact, they can't afford not to.
For diphtheria today has lost none of
it's deadliness. 1t is a killer, stran-
Cling or poisoning its victims. Those
who recover are not infrequently
left with heart trouble or lingering
paralysis. Every year diphtheria
attacks more than $4,000 Americans
and kills more than 1900, most of
them children less than five years
of age.
Wise parents will consult the doc
tor about immunizing the baby as
early in life as possible, and not wait
until diphtheria strikes. Diphtheria
is a communicable disease, whose

It is emphasized by both Voice

programs. These officials stress
that it permeates many other
broadcasts.

possible to get reactions to these
broadcasts from inside Iron Cur

their actual effectiveness. How

A major effort in the drive
against Communist oppression Is
religious broadcasting to people in
Iron Curtain countries. This
broadcasting is carried on chiefly
by three ,agencies-the Voice OF
Radio Free Europe, and
the Vatican Radio.
Primary Objectives.
In all three cases, the primary
objectives are the same: To main
tain the morale Of church mem-
bers in Iron Curtain countries, to
keep them informed of religious
developments in their own country
and abroad. to establish a link be-
tween them and church people
in the free world, and to build up
their resistance against Commu-
mist attempts to undermine the
Church and religion.
In recent months, the number
Of religious programs on the Voice
of America has increased greatly.
in the programs are SER
mons, prayers, church services Of
all faiths, statements bV church
dignitaries, coverage Of special
events sponsored by d religious
groups. special features dealing
with religious persecution under
communism. religious news cover
age. and reports Of religious life
and practice In the United States.
Religious programs are broad
cast by the Voice in more than 20
