Watch For Rheumatic Fever
Rheumatic fever is one of the
leading factors in heart disease
today. 1t is a child's disease, but
its aftermath may be reflected
in adults. 1t is one of the main
reasons why children should
have complete physical exami-
nations just the same as adults.
Be careful that your child
doesn't get up too soon if he has
'.flu" and isn't overexposed after
getting up from the flu. This
could lead to rheumatic fever.
The after effects of measles are
also one of the biggest hazards IN
causing rheumatic fever.
There is a "shot" available
now to give to children who
have been exposed to measles.
1t will protect them against
severe case of measles or will
DELAY the onse Of diseases. 1t is
called Immune Globin. Ask your
doctor about it.
Roach Control
Reaches are troublesome, di-
sease-carrying pests. They make
any good housekeeper's face turn
red at the thought or sight of
them. They destroy food and
clothing.
20 chlordane (1O68) SPRAYS
will give the best control of
reaches, especially the small
water bugs. DOT dusts and
sprays will also give good con-
troll of the larger species of
reaches.
These sprays and dusts are
less poisonous than the sodium
fluoride used in many roach
powders. They do not kill al
once as some roach powders, bu,
, you can see the results after z
! or 3 days.
The reaches come out at nigh,
looking for food and come If
contact with the dust or SPRAY
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1953-04-02

and are poisoned by it. The use
OF both a dust and spray will
! give best results.
| With a small hand dust gun
force l0% DOT powder OF
sodium fluoride into cracks and
openings where reaches hide.
Use SO DOT oil solution or 2Fs
chlDrdane spray for spraying
cupboards. drawers, food storage
shelves, underneath sinks and
around base boards.
Be sure to remove dishes and
1000 from closets and cabinets
before you spray. You can re-
place them as soon as the spray
has dried.
If you stIll see reaches in your
house 2 weeks after spraying
and busting, repeat the treat
ment. 1t is possible you didn't do
a thorough job the first time.
SHRUB OF THE HOUR
Flowering ounce, or Cydonia,
one of the most snowy of spring
Towering shrubs, bears flowers
ranging in color from white,
through pinks, to scarlet. 1t is
a stiff-branched, thorny shrub
of medium texture which grows
in sun or shade. In the yard
landscape, it is good as an ac-
cent, mass, border or foundation
plant. Towering ounce is very
good as plant to use in a group
with forsythia yellow bells) or
jasmines.
TRANSMITTING SHRUBS
If handled carefully, and no
roots broken, shrubs can be NOV
ed until the first of April. Fill
the new hole with water after
setting shrub in place, and then
fill withsoil. This drives out all
pockets.
/ BULBS-As soon as the tops
OF spring blooming blubs (nar.
cissus, daffodil, etc. have start.
ed to brown and die back, dis
them and place in a cool dry
place so they may "cure". Di
vide Cannas and replant, setting
them 2 feet apart in rich soil
Start planting the first row O.
gladiolus in late April, and plant
another row in two weeks. Thi.
gives a steady supply of blooms
after the Towering starts. Divide
and reset tuberoses now, plant
ing them 2 to 3 inches below
ground. Oxalis bulbs should bt
planted in borders and beds fol
an edging plant.
| PRUNING-AH spring flower
ing shrubs should be prunet
now. Cut back forsythia, flow
ering ounce, spiraea, and busl
honeysuck1e. Prune any d. )aG
wood, from any plant, as sool
as it is obvious that it ha
ceased to live and function.
| ROSES-New roses can b,
planted as late as March. Waite
thoroughly, and prune tops baci
to 8 inches of ground. Away
prune an established rose busl
before growth begins.
| ANNUALS-Plant the follow
ing outdoors now: Cosmos, mari
gold, moss rose (portulaca) sin
i gle petunia, phlox, SALIVA, Yin
MIA, morning glory and calliop
sis.

For New Hearings

Chairman Allen said today his
House Rules Committee will meet
next week to clear the way for
continuing Investigations Of the
Governments tax collecting sys-
tenn and the Justice Departments.
But he said the committee will
"sit tight for a while" on nu-
merous proposals for special
studies an6 Investigations that
have been offered in the 83d
Congress.
These Investigations usually
are distracting. and we don't
plan to get into them until we
have finished some legislating, /"
Mr.. Allen explained. "For the
time being. the regular commit
tees are equipped to handle the
major Investigations that should
be made. and we will give them
the power to do that"
Conducted by subcommittee.
The tax and Justice Depart
ment inquiries are being con-
Quoted by subcommittee of the
regular House Ways and Means
and Judiciary Committees. They
began during the last Congress
and what they uncovered was
used extensively by the Repub-
licans during the 1852 presi-
Dental campaign.
Both of these subcommittee
are seeking renewed investigat-
ing authority to continue their
inquiries. M
Representative Kean, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, chairman
Of the Ways and Means subcom-
mittee. yesterday recessed in
definitely while awaiting clear
ance of its request for subpoena
powers.
Until we get that" said Mr..
Kean, there's no use going on. -
The Rules group has Sched-
uled a meeting next Tuesday to
pass on the requests. Immedi-
ately after getting the authority,
Mr.. Kean said his subcommittee
will push forward on it's investi-
cation Of the Revenue Bureaus s
Alcohol Tax Unit on which a
weeks public hearings have been
concluded.
Centered on Mealey.
The hearings thus far have
centered particularly on Carroll
E. Mealey of Albany, N. Y, and
his activities while chief of the
alcohol tax unit from 1916 until
the fall of 1851. The subcom-
mittee received testimony that
during that time Mr.. Mealey
had unreported income totaling
more than $4,000 from sources
which are unknown.
Mr.. Kean has indicated the
activities of some present Off
cials of the unit will be investi-
gated when the hearings are re-
Sumed.
The rules group, it is under
stood, has given assurances that
the necessary subpoena powers
for the Kean Subcommittee and
the Justice Subcommittee will be
acted on speedily.
But Mr.. Allen emphasized that
proposed special Investigations
will not be cleared for floor ac-
ton Immediately. Sixty-two res
olutions proposing inquiries or
study Of a wide variety of SUBJ
jectS have been introduced and
referred to the Rules Committee.
They range from problems of old
people to indecent literature and
Objectionable radio and tele-
vision programs.

Senate Unit Backs
Postal Rate Study
By The Assoeioted Press

The Senate Post Office Com
mittee yesterday approved a pro-
posal for a 100000 study on
postal rates and service.
The Rules Committee and full
Senate also will have to approve
the plan, however, before the
study can begin.
Chairman Carlson Of the COM
mittee, a sponsor of the move,
said one purpose would be to
see if the $500 million annual
deficit of the Post Office Depart
ment could be cut down.
This could be done through
higher rates, through elimina-
ton Of unnecessary employees,
through adoption of more eff
cient methods and through elm
ination of some subsidies now
charged to the department, the
resolution pointed out. Sem
ator Carlson's group would make
the inquiry.
In another action, the COM
mittee decided it would not con-
slider any resolutions for special
commemorative stamps. These
resolutions are favorite devices
of some law makers to please
local communities and organ
izations in their States.

Should Fairbanks lose to the Seward five, their chances of win ming the conference will be nil.
