between these two, the nod
perhaps must 60 to Miss Page,
because in 1.-THE Rainnaker"
she adds new dimension and
stature to her abilities.
A Change Of Role
Until now Miss Pageas
Miss Stanley does In her show
has mounted the theatric
ladder with portrayals of
browbeaten, frustrated and
sorry damsels. Geraldine now
shows that she can apply her
repertoire Of tone and manner
to the world Of comedy also.
She has Travelled. thereby. a
bit further along the path of
stellar versatility.
Horton Foote, the TV author
of "The Travelling Lady" and
N. Richard Nash, the similarly
employed creator of 1.-THE
Rainmaker," have given the
two stars rather slight, sparse
vehicles. Foote tells of the
disillusion of a young wife's
efforts to salvage a ne'er-do-
well man. and Nash recounts
the efforts of a family to marry
off a daughter who is too hon
est to play the coquette in
order to win a husband.
Miss Stanley's role Of ur-
relieved sadness gives her the
difficult task of winning her
audience in downbeat circum-
stances.
Miss Page gets the somewhat
happier ending to captivate
her viewers at the final cur
tain.
Watching either is a rich
entertainment experience.

PRICELESS POSSESSION

Fifteen million Americans are hard of hearing. Yet only 125OOO use hearing aids. Why is this? recent survey showed up nine different reasons, but the principal is vanity For some mysterious reason, people seem more sef-conscious about their hearing than their vison-even though one is just as impor- tant as the other to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
 No doubt there are lot of people who should wear glasses-and don't. But there many times IS 900 900 who do live behind "cheaters . |. and we doubt if any of them really enjoys having windows hooked his and riding the bridge of his windows that get spattered when it rains and smeared every day in dozen different ways.

Polio I Foundation Will Risk Money To Buy Vaccine

NEW YORK, R-The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis taking a "calculated financial risk' has contracted to purchase enough Salk polio vaccine to treat nine million children and preg- nant women next year.
 Foundation President Basil O'Connor announced the contracts Monday.
 "The National Foundation" he said, "is taking a calculated fin ancial risk in purchasing vaccine before it has been found to be effective" he added.
 O'Connor said the injections will be made available free.
 Authorizing the purchase at this time, O'Connor explained, will make supplies available so that the vaccine can be given as soon as the results of tests of it's effectiveness are known next spring. The foundation thereby will not have to wait 70 days to get the vaccine produced.
 Scientific evaluation is now be- ing made to determine whether the Salk vaccine is effective in protecting against paralytic polio. The study is being carried out at the University of Michigan under direction of Dr. Thomas Francis Jr., world famous epedemiologist Results are not expected to be known until about April l.
 O'Connor said the purchase-to cost about nine million dollars will enable pharmaceutical manu- lecturers to retain specialized per sonnel and facilities, and thus be prepared to produce promptly a substantial quantity of vaccine to be available through usual com mercial channels
