Will Help Fight
ToxopIasmosis

COLUMBUS, GA nationwide
investigation to discover new facts
about the occurrence of toXoplas-
mosis, a disease which affects both
man and animals, centers at Ohio
State University.
There a team of physicians and
veterinary pathologists are anal
yzing animal blood samples sub
mitted by veterinarians all over
the country. In this manner the
Ohio State scientists hope by next
summer to learn much more about
the distribution of the disease
throughout the nation.
Members of the research team
are Drs. Clarence r. Cole, Vance
. L. Sanger and Robert L. Farrell,
veterinary pathologists, and Drs.
John Prior and Samuel Saslaw,
physicians from the College of
Medicine.
Once considered rare, toXaplas-
mosis is now known to occur wide
ly in humans in all parts of the
world except the polar areas. 1t is
caused by a microscopic organism
which invades blood vessels and
cells in many parts of the body.
The disease apparently is trans
mitted from mother to offspring
before birth in both animals and
man. Researchers believe there
may be other modes of transmits
sion too since several families have
been found where animal pets as
we'll as humans had the diseases.
Toxoplasmosis is difficult to di-
agnose. It is often fatal to children
who receive the disease from their
mothers, but few adults get the
disease in severe form, although
there is evidence that perhaps as
much as a quarter Of the worlds
population has been exposed to
toxoplasmosis in some manner.
The disease occurs frequently in
Ohio cattle, DR.. Cole reports. Pre-
liminary findings from the Ohio
State survey indicate that cattle
elsewhere throughout the country
are similarly affected It has beer
found also in dogs, sheep, swine
pigeons, rats and even in one
kangaroo.
Ultimate goal of the research
will be to find an effective treat,
ment. Large doses of sulfonamides
are helpful if the disease if de-
tected at birth, but so far no treat,
ment is of much value after it is
well established.

I wonder if any of the many
readers would be able to tell
me where one can find goose
berries in this area. They don't
seem to be available in season
in the grocery or fruit stores.
I thought that perhaps some
one in the farm area might
know where they can be found.
My family is very fond of both
gooseberry jam and gooseberry
pie and I would like to get
hold of some berries this sea-
son If possible.
Like everyone that I know,
I enjoy the RICH very much. It

HARDENED SUGAR.


Honey will preserve soft
ness in brown sugar; or it
will restore softness to the
most hardened cakes and
Jumps of the. sugar, My own
discovery, have shared it
with others, but never have
seen the suggestion publicized.
The tip of a teaspoon, just
large drop, of honey, dropped
on the top of the surface is
sufficient; then cover your
package or glass jar as nearly
airtightly as possible. If the
sugar has hardened. perhaps
it would be well to separate
it by a few cracks. Then,
leave it covered for about a
week for perfect restoration
and usableness.

IL. =. a., WUSftt1tyLUH(
For I. r. S., Silver Spring,
who inquiries about the rela-
tive merits of a steam iron
and q portable iron.
I have used. for long periods
at a time. my mothers port
able ironer which is one OF
those rated very good by Con-
Sumer'S Union. Just recently
I purchased a steam iron.
There is no comparison of the
benefits to each, in my mind.
There seems to be nothing
the steam iron will not do. I
have pressed wool dresses and
trousers, gabardine trousers.
linen dresses. satin negligees,
nylon blouses. and table linen
with utmost ease with no
pressing cloth and no resulting
shines. And in such an in
credibly short time! I think.
however. the greatest benefit
Is that I do not have to make
up my mind ahead Of time and
sprinkle, so one can use q few
minutes when available.
AS to the portable ironer,
I have used it from two to
three months every summer so
feel I am well acquainted with
it. Butt does only those
things which are simple to do
anyhow. ] never am salts
fed with table linen done on
it as it doesn't give that nicely
polished appearance. And I've
never succeeded in doing
dresses or shirts to my salts
faction. Nor does it accomp-
lish it more quickly as things
must run through at the speed
Of the machine and may have
to go through a second time.
Also. all the twisting and gar
ment turning is like standing
on ones head. Maybe I've
never learned to manage it but
I wouldn't trade a steam iron
for three portable ironers.
LEMON BUTTER:
COOKING UTENSILS?
Mrs. M. G. c., Washington
I saw a request for a recipe
for lemon butter not long ago
but haven't seen an answer
yet.
In England we had a spread
which we called lemon curd
which I believe is the same
thing. so here is my recipe.
Six eggs, well beaten, 2 cups
sugar, II cup lemon juice. "a
cup butter. Mix well together.
Cook in top of double boiler
until thick. Pour into ster-
ilized glasses and cover with
paraff1n.
I found that it doesn't keep
for too long so I usually just
make the small amount and
keep it in the refrigerator.
I have the copper-bottom
cooking utensils and have no
ticed that using them on a
gas stove leaves marks on them
that I cannot get off. I have
tried most of the commercial
cleaners and wonder if any
one has any other suggestion
about getting those marks of.

BABSON Discusses II Bomb And Business

New Boston, N. H., Sept. "a. l am
writing this near a large bombing
range in southern New Hampshire.
Owing to the comparable Ineffective
ness of the bOmbers which have
been used in Korea the past two
years, was curious to get an an
swer to four questions.
Q What is the Defense Against
Ordinary Bombing?
Naturally, the fighter-plane is the
best defense against the bomber
plane. This means that speed and
mobility determine the battle out
come. The result is that these air
battles are being constantly fought
higher in the air. Because of this
the bombers act with less accuracy,
with an increasing cost and with
decreasing destructive power.
Cities appear to be accustomed
to such bombing. The people resort
to cellars and trenches, but do not
evacuate their cities. Present bomb
ing has become "One of those
things" and no more decisive in
battle than the machine gun or the
bazOOka. One reason why both China
and the United States are willing
to quit Korea is because of the
ineffectiveness of ordinary bombing
(2) What is the Defense Against
Atomic Bombing?
The original atomic bomb, such as
used in Hiroshima in 1945. has beer
greatly improved" by increasing
the destructive power and by reduc
ing the size Of the bomb and its
accompanying mechanism. Sucl
bombs can be dropped fiOm air
planes, can be shot from guns OF
presumably used in guided missiles
from submarines or in other ways
lRadar is supposed to give Warninl

against such bombing; but the
time element is very short The
sad fact is that the destructive
power of atomic bombing is terrific;
and. thus far, almost no practical
defense now exists against such.
There is also the H, or hydrogen
bomb. which is much more destruc-
tive. These could be dropped from
large bombing planes or planted"
in ship within harbOr. or hidden
in the cellar of some enemy spy's
house within any city. The first
night of the war they might wipe
out two or more of our large cities
in surprise attacks-like what hap
pened to us at Pearl Harbor. The
only defense now appears to be
radar and evacuation.
(3) What are the pros and Cons
of Evacuation?
If evacuation is the only protec-
tion against atomic bombing, why
don't we hear more about it? The
reason is twOfOld. The first reason
is the great expense of making
arrangements in advance for the
mass evacuation of a large city
This would require rebuilding o.
roads for exit, provision for under
J ground bomb shelters, and the
necessary temporary housing anC
feeding facilities, outside the cities
About 20,OOO.OOO people are nov
living in the twelve U. S. cities
which our Government has LISTED
as most vulnerable.
The second reason is the OppOsi
ton of real estate and other busi
ness interests to talk about evacu
alton. The Chambers of Commerce
the Real Estate Boards, and tn
Builders Associations of thes
twelve cities will not discuss mas

Following his visit with President
Eisenhower in Denver, shortly be-
fore the Chief Executives return to
the White House. Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson told
newsmen he knew nothing about
rumors that policy differences and
declining farm prices might force
his resignation.
Il have been busy with problems,

He reminded the reporters that
no final farm policy had been work

this body had held its first meeting
only recently and would meet again
next month.
AS for the present price-suppOrt

which expires at the end of next
