DID YOU READ THAT STORY ABOUT

Key West has been singularly free of Communists

Vaccine May Be Devised
To Knock Out Measles

WASHINGTON Up - A possible
lead towards developing a pre-
ventive vaccine against measles
has been reported by DR.. John
F. Enders, of Harvard Medical
School, who won a Nobel prize for
his polio research.
He announced Wednesday ssvery
suggestive" evidence of the long
sought isolation of the elusive
measles virus--and of possible
means for its laboratory growth.
The method described uses a sstis-
sue culture" method like that
which paved the way for develop
ment of the Salk vaccine for polio.
Enders told an audience of sci
entists at the National Institutes
of Health that he and assistants
had found in washings and blood
of measles patients "an agent
which has passed certain tests in
dicating it may be the actual caus.
ative organism Of measles.
It remains to be proved, he said,
that it actually is the measles
virus-and such proof must await
production of measles in an ex-
perimental animal with the new
found agent.
He said that If proof is estab-
lished, II might then be possible

that this is really true, however.
Several factors enter into the
picture.
To begin with, the Community
Chest has never been completely
sold to the people. Everyone will
agree that it is good thing -
for the other fellow to make do
nations, that is. In many cases,
private individuals have their own
pet charity toward which they wish
to give all their support.
Such an attitude can hardly be
considered selfish. A more apt des-
cription would be to call it
"thoughtless."
{ There is a cheerful side to the
picture. The Community Chest, un-
der its present reorganization, is
fairly young. 1t takes time to edu-
cate folks and make them realize
how wonderful successful operation
of the Chest could be. Leaders with
in the agency, if they handle their
publicity correctly, can do much
to assure next years drive meet

A Grain
Of Salt
By Bill spiIImsn

It seems that we never run out
of controversial subjects here in
Key West. Presently it is the High
School Band. Previously it was
fluoridation.
Perhaps the whole argument
stems from different taste in music
by people. l, personally, do not
think that a code of conduct has
been established as to the kind of
music to be played by band or
orchestra of a particular type.
To me. there is nothing more
stirring than sharp military march
numbers. Sentimental and jazz
music from a marching band is
good for occasional" diversion.
There was an Englishman who
once stated that he loved concert
music over the British Broadcast
ing System in the summertime.
But, he added, he didn't want to
heart a bloody concert every after
noon of the summer, which is Of
ten what happens on the BIC.
He said that many Englishmen
tune their radios to the American
Armed Forces broadcasting sta
tons in the European area.
When people listen to band,
their relative position to the musi-
clans has a lot to do with how
the music sounds. A flat sound can
result from too much variance of
distance between the listener and
the different musical instruments.
On the question of the JayCees
not supporting the drive to raise
funds for the band, they did not
object to the drive. They felt that
the Band Boosters should handle
the fund raising event. This agree
ment was along the same line
that the drive was an additional
fund raising affair that would hurt
the Community Chest Drive that
was in progress.
In view of the fact that the Com
munity Chest Drive fell short of
its goal lends weight to the latter
reasoning.
My personal opinion is that if
the Band in the future wants to
raise money from personal solici-
tations, they should join the Com
munity Chest.

ADVICE SAVES TIME,
TROUBLE AND MONEY

One of the most valuable things
you can do to save your teeth from
cavities is this:
Clean your teeth by brushing
thoroughly Immediately after each
meal - and after eating anything
between meals.
If you can't brush them after
some meals, rinse out your mouth
thoroughly with water.
This will save you many dental
troubles, also time and money.

Frilly lingerie and furs fall in
