ports on all children-known to
be vaccinated or not-in the test
areas who are diagnosed as hav-
ing polio.
That team can then give the
answer on whether the vaccine
really works.
Discoveries Made.
Only few years ago the pos
sibility of a practical vaccine
looked ar distant. Then some
great discoveries, mostly made
in research supported by the
March of Dimes. cracked the
barriers to making field tests of
a promising vaccine.
First. it had to be learned how
many different types of polio
virus could cause human paraly-
sis. That answer was learned in
brilliant. three-year cooperative
research by several great medical
institutions. There are three
d erouS types-Brunhilde,
Lansing and Leon.
This meant an effective vac
cine would have to contain all
three types Of polio virus.
But where to get the virus?
This roadblock was broken by
the success Of DR.. John F. Enders
of Harvard in growing polio virus
in test tube cultures of non
nervous tissues.
Where to get enough virus?
The Enders method was devel-
oped and improved, until now
the kidney tissues from a single
monkey can be made to produce
enough virus to give a series of
vaccine shots to 1000 children.
This yields a harvest of live
virus. The live virus then is
killed by bathing it in formal
dehyde.
And it was found that polio
virus, when 1t attacks, usually
goes from the intestinal tract to
the bloodstream and then goes
on to strike at nerves. This
meant that if a person had anti
bodies standing guard in his
bloodstream. he could defeat the
attack.
DR.. Salk showed that a vaccine
containing dead virus could pro-
duce significant. even large,
amounts of antibodies in the
blood of vaccinated humans.
Stage Set for Test.
The stage was all set for the
field test.
Five pharmaceutical firms are
growing the virus and preparing
the vaccine. Each batch Of vac
cine is tested nine times for
safety. to make sure all the
viruses are. dead, and that the
vaccine iss pure. Triple tests are
made individually by the manu-
facturer. by DR.. Salk's labora-

tory, and by the Laboratory of
Biologics Control. National Insti-
tutes of Health, United States
Public Health Service.
The National Foundation is
footing the bill of at least SIS
million. The pharmaceutical
firms are making the vaccine for
the tests on a non-profit basis.
If the vaccine passes the test,
then it could be supplied in large
enough amounts for every one.
It would take 10000 or more
monkeys to supply the tissue to
grow enough virus for vacci-
mating all the Nations young
sters.
But there's reason to believe
that each child may need only
one series of shots for lifetime
protection. The job after that
would be only to vaccinate each
new crop of babies early in life,

PITTSBURGH, Mar. 31.-A
family friend tells this story
about DR.. Jonas E. Salk.
"Once he saw me sewing a
dress and wanted to know every
step that went into it. Another
time, he admired a dessert and
we had to have scientific dis
cussion of that. Afterward, he
told us why a cake is cake, chem
ically.
II think it makes him uneasy
not to understand something
going on around him"
Another friend, a psychiatrist.
explained this way:
HE is one Of the clearest, most
deliberate thinkers I've ever
known. He has great emotional
stability. You can bet he won't
push his work one second faster
than it is absolutely safe to do"
A relative recalls: Even as a
kid, when Jonas said something,
you could put 1t in the bank"
The man they're talking about
is the Nations No. l medical fig
ure of the moment-the man
whose polio vaccine will be given
to from half a million to a mil
lion youngsters this year. in the
hope it will bring permanent
cure to one of hiStory's most
dread diseases.

even though dead, they still have
some power to stimulate person
to make antibodieS, the body's
natural disease fighters.
" Giving billions of dead viruses
means concentrating this anti
body-making power.
The big question is whether
the vaccine can produce enough
antibodies to protect children
against natural exposure to live
polio virus this summer.
Evidence Indicates Success.
All the scientific evidence in
dictates that 1t will. But the only
way to find out is to have half a
million children take the vaccine.
and see how we'll they resist polio
this summer.
And the test must be run on a
huge number of children, be-
cause paralytic poliomyelitis is
actually rather a rare disease.
Polio has been called an cpl
demic if only 20 out of 100000
persons come down with it. How
ever, it hits children more often
than adults.
If you picked any scattered
group of 100000 children aged
6 to 9, you would expect that
about $50 or so would become
recognizably sick next summer
with polio. (Of this $50. more
than half would recover with no
paralysis)
So for an adequate test you
must have half a million to a
million vaccinated children to
compare with an equal number
of non-vaccinated Youngsters of
the same ages, living in the same
communities.
Among the non-vaccinated
half million. there might be $50
cases of polio. How many will
there be among the "accinated
half million? No cases? A per
feet vaccine. Thirty-five cases?
The vaccine would be 80 Der
cent effective. Very good.
Across the Nation, children
and parents and doctors and
nurses and school teachers and
health officers are volunteering
to take part in this crucial test
of the vaccine developed by DR..
Jonas E. Salk of Pittsburgh.
Up to Million in Test.
Local health authorities and
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis are conducting
the trial. Up to a million children
in 179 communities or areas of
a. States are scheduled SO far to
get the vaccine.
In some communities the vac

dren of the second grade. Chill
dren in the first and third grades
of the same schools will be

In other communities, half of
the children in the first three
grades of the school will be given
the vaccine. The other half will
get identical-looking shots of
fluid which is ineffective. All the
syringes, whether containing real
vaccine or useless fluid, will bear
only code numbers, which will
be recorded next to the child's
name.
These children, their parents
and doctors. will not know
whether they got the actual vac

meaning Of the code will be

Book shelves that go from floor

good solution, especially if the
lower shelves are closed in, like
cabinets. A desk can double as a
table, when it is covered with a

vide additional storage space.
Instead of end tables you can
have more storage cabinets, with
several drawers, to hold records

Sidney and Sally recently deco
rated one New York room, IL by

ment. This happened to be a room
in large apartment occupied by
a bachelor, who liked the one
room so much that he does most
of his entertaining there. Here's
how they decorated it:
The walls are white, the CELL
ing deep grape color, with
upholstery on a small love seat,
desk chair and an occasional
chair repeating the grape color in
lighter tone.
A bed with upholstered head
board, and an easy chair with
matching ottoman are covered in
fabric combining a soft shade
of dark and light green.
Floor to- ceiling book shelves pro-
vide storage space, and the desk
can be used as table.
They used big wooden lamps
with inexpensive paper shades
painted the same color as the
lamp base.

rators: Don't feel underprivileg-

if the floors are in bad shape, you
can buy inexpensive straw or
hemp, paint it with deck paint
and finish with a coat of shellac.
The effect can be terrific.
eff you use pictures on the
walls, frame them all alike. You
can buy inexpensive wood frames

and paint them to match the
draperieS or coordinate with your
wall color.
You can't go wrong in deco
rating small room if you keep
everything in different tones of
the same color, and reserve your
contrasting accents for small
things, such as bright pillows.
If you have a lot of oddly
assorted old tables, you can face
lift them by saving off the legs
part way to make them lower,
then painting them all the same
color. Even an old dining table,
with the legs cut down, can make
a handsome big coffee table that
can be the focal point of a room.
