MEDICINES MOST AMAZING MYSTERY

Ioai'Nsted from page seventeen
up the steaming Amazon. I've never seen better
country for getting malaria and there was lot of
it. In little town called Breves population $50
on the lower Amazon found 100 per cent Incl

We did what we could for the suffering people in
Breves and moved on Next day, 80 miles upriver
we came into another village population zoos
known as Gurupa Like Breves. it was poor, un-
sanitary, with no modern medical facilities. and
located barely above the level of the surrounding
swampland.
But the people in Curup6 looked at me
blankly and said, ''Malaria? why. we haven't
had a case here in nearly hundred years.
About this. of course cannot testify but it might
well be true. l do know that found not one single
case OF malaria in that town. As malaria special
ist wasn't needed.
On the same mission on the Rio Tocantins in
Brazil | ran across two other twin villages,
Peixe and Porto Nacional The former was so
ridden with malaria that many of its inhabitants
could scarcely do days work. The latter. only
80 miles away, was entirely free of it!
Can't Re Inherited
lHE residents, discovered, took their immunity
for granted
1T is always SC" they told me. They added
that if one of them went to Peixe as they occa-
sionally did to find work in the mica mines. his
natural immunity ended and he usually came
home shaking with fever. Yet, once home, the
malaria victim did not infect his relatives or
neighbors!
The immunity does not appear to be something
that you can inherit Intermarriage between the
two villages is common. The new family, and their
offspring, contract malaria or escape it according
to which village they live in.
The only difference was able to discover in the i
living habits of the two towns was in the water
supply The people Of the malaria-ridden town of
Peixe drink from flowing streams and from the
river The inhabitants of Porto Nacional drink
from fresh btlbbling springs. which appear
to have q strange mineral content.

Church Council Hits
Colombia on Unjust
Acts 10 Proiesianfs
By the A..oeIes.d Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 2l.-The
National Council Of Churches
yesterday dashed out at what It
termed unjust and distressing
treatment Of Protestants In
Colombia. South America. It
said many Protestants have
died there for their faith.
They have suffered "loss Of
life and property. false accuse
tions and restrictions" on their
ministry. the council declared
in an "open letter" adopted by
its general board.
Colombia is predominantly
Roman Catholic.
Government Attacked.
However, the national council
did not criticize the Catholic
Church in connection with the
Protestant situation In Colon
bia. It directed its censure at
the Colombian government, and
suggested the government had
behaved more like a Com
munist regime than q part Of
the free world in Its dealings
with Protestants.
The council. the Nations
largest and most representative
church body embracing 30 Prot
estant and Eastern Orthodox de-
nominations. said 1t was ''partic-
uraly surprised and indignant"
at a recent Colombian govern
ment edict.
See Liberty Lost.
The edict, Of last September 3,
bans "the work and witness" of
Protestants in 10 regions COM
priSing three-fourths Of the
country, the council said. adding:
TT contravenes the principles
OF religious liberty maintained
by most governments outside the
territories under Communist
rule
The council said the edict also
would appear to conflict with q
recent statemen Of Pope Plus
XII.
The Pope was quoted in an au-
dience with Italian !urists last
December as saying "the duty Of
depressing moral and religious
error can not be an ultimate form
Of action"
At times. q possible higher

in the growing international
community. the Pope was quoted,
by permitting all "the exercises

nounced by a Joint Declaration OF
the "a Governors.
WHAT is PROVIDED IN ALL
STATES TO HELP? Bumper strips
are available for commercial or
private vehicles. They are pro
duced in strong colors and read
able lettering on enamelled clear
silk paper. This constantly gives
the SLOW DOWN and LIVE"
message to motorists while they
are a part of the traffic flow.
Also on the same line are stick
ers for use on the dashboard or to
be placed near the speedOmetef.
This prov. les a constant warning
to the driF er to watch his speed.
For mOtels, hotels, and restaur-
ants a good will message to people
on their vacation trips is a means
of friendliness. 1t is also a good
reminder to motorists; a gummed
poster stamp carries this message:
1T was nice to have had you with
us--cOme back again" along with
the safety slogan.
A number of other programs are
now in action through the Della
ware Safety Councils offices. Ra-

are being distributed to many or
ganizatiOns and outdoor advertis-
ing posters can be seen through
out the "a states during this sum
mer campaign.
HOW YOU CAN HELP! Every
one is interested in their own life
and safety. But too often inno-
cent people are injured or killed
by the thOughtless acts of a driver
intent on getting to his destina-
tiOn.
The driver who does not want to
become involved in an accident.
takes care to avoid all accidents
even if they are not his fault. He
drives safely ,"FOR EVERY
BODY'S SAKE!" Speed is one of
the important factors in causing
accidents. Naturally, with good
road conditions and good weather,
there is a tendency on the part of
almost everyone to drive faster
than is safe. This tendency is a
major factor in 34@o of the fatal
traffic accidents.
Mr.. Ashton urges-If you are a
private citizen and can influence
the safety program Of your club
and organizations, suggest action
NOW in support of SLOW DOWN

But as everyone knows there
were almost as many Southern
sympathizers in Sussex County in
those days as there were Union
supporters. And among the politi-
cal prisoners confined in the case
mates were at least three members
Of the Democratic Brass Band OF
Laurel. They were DR.. William H
Hitch, who took his trumpet with
him to the fort and who was known
for playing "Di%iS' from the win
dow of his cell every time a new
batch of prisoners were brought in
from Southern Dattlefields. Henry
G Hearn of laurel who serenaded
Lees victory at charlottesville
and his brother, Patrick Hearn
were other prisoners there.
Henry W. Long of Lord Balti-
more Hundred, who was quite posi-
tive that Delaware would Join the
Confederacy If the citizens of the
state were allowed to vote without
federal soldiers being stationed al
the polls, was another political
prisoner
William Pitts Of Selbyville was
also held for a time in Fort Della
ware for no other reason than that
his brother. Jack Pitts, had gone
south in 1861 and joined the Con-
federate Army. Jack also showed
up later as prisoner of war al
Fort Delaware.
William c. Rust Of Seaford q
16-year-Old boy, was held prison
er in the fort from June to No
vember, 1863, because he refused
to walk under a U. S. flag. His ia.
the, G. F. Rust, who had 4. F. Bav-
ard for his lawyer, was ordered
exiled and sent through the lines
at Winchester, Va, into the Con

the end Of the war.
William T.. Cooper of Seaford
son Of former Governor William b

Fort Delaware. He escaped in 1862
supposedly with the aid of a friend
who was serving in the Sixth Del

Capt. Thomas Cannon of laurel
was held for months as a prisoner
because he was accused not only
Of being strong sympathizer with
the South but also of running sun

Harvest Time Is
Accident Time

Harvest time is accident time on
the farm, according to Byron l..
Bondurant, engineer for the Agri-
cultural Extension Service at the
University Of Delaware.
BOndurant says haste and care
Iessness increase the chances for
accidents during harvest time. Acct
dents increase during the crush Of
harvest" with the use of high speed
cutting mechanisms. shafts. chains
and gears.
The first step for safe operation
Of harvesting machinery is to put
II in good condition before the
harvest begins" B0ndurant points
out This means that seats, con-
trolls, steps and other equipment
should be in good repair. Shields or
other safety guards should be in
place before the machine is taken to
the field
The National Safety Council
recommends the following rules for
harvest safety:
1. Always be alert-never take a
chance.
2 Always stop all machinery be-
fore oiling adjusting or unclogging.
3. Avoid wearing foppy or ragged
clothing.
4. Start smoothly and slow down
for turns and rough ground.
5. Avoid operations too close to
the edge of bitches or embank-
ments.
6. Small children are definitely
out Of place around harvesting
machinery
Avoid jumping of equipment
before it has come to a fun stop.
3 Remember to look both ways az
you approach a highway and cross
with care.
8 On highway obey the signs
and rules Of the road and don't for
get 70 use headlights and tailIights
at night.
The operator Of the machine must
be alert and observe the safety
rules never take a chance.
