Concluding it's examination of

The explanation of the Presi-

about so many issues lies not only

Questioned Polio Case Is OF
Statewide Interest
From: The Daily Clarion Ledger

Thousands of Mississippi parents, both white and
coored share the general state regret inspired by the
first official announcement of suspected of polio
developing after incubation of the Negro child victim
by of the Sak anti polio vaccine.
Most Mississippi parents, however, will be calm,
intelligent and welnformed enough to avoid permitting
the report to inspire excessive unnecessary danger
fear that current Investigations may produce evil
dence questioning the safety and effectiveness of the
anti-polio vaccine presently produced by five
panes.
The first suspected" case of polio developing in
Mississippi child after of the vaccine has not been
officially finally proved.
Responsible physicians and health officials admit
that doubt exists that the identity of the disease in the
case has been indicated but has not been proved and
ttat the chds SYMPTOMS being studied further in
New Orleans.
Even if it is eventually and formally proved and
proclaimed that this of the tens of thousands of
Mississippi children given doses of the
antpoO vaccine has developed the disease that record
would not substantially weaken lower public and
parental confidence in the comparative safety and eff
fectiveness of use of the Sak vaccine.
Neither would the then inspire any serious
public doubt in the effectiveness and safety of the
cine campaign and in the desirabty that it be resumed
and completed time.
The news revealing this thus is regretted but
should not be dangerously or unduy alarming.

Students Elect
Miss Southern

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, May IL,
1856 - Southern University Stu
dents elected Miss Connie Lewis,
Junior from Benton, Louisiana, as
MISS SOUTHERN and adopted
3 proposals this week during the
Annual Student Election, it was
announced by NJ. L. Harvey, Dean
of Students.
Dean Harvey in his announce
ment also stated that Bruce Gill,
Junior from St. Louis, Missouri,
was elected President of the Sou
thern Student Association; Vincent
Jones, Junior of Crowley, Vice
President; Richard Johnson, Mon
roe, Editor of the Digest; and Miss
Audrey Daste, Junior from Baton
Rouge, as Senior Attendant to Miss
Southern of 1856 session.
The three proposals submitted
to the student body by the present
General Board of the Student AS
ISOLATION were: A self taxation of
not more than one dollar per nine
month session to be placed in the
student loan fund; to establish a
student group insurance plan; and
revise the constitution of the Stu
dent Association. The trio of pro-
posals were affirmed in the re-
suits. Official State Voting Ma
chimes were used in the campus
elections.
The Southern University Student
Loan Fund, which is secured and
supported by the students them
selves has less than $500 for a
population of nearly 400 possible
borrowers. Because the loan fund
is one of their only means of meet
ing financial obligations on time,
the association felt that income
from self taxation would mean that
more students could benefit from
the campus facilities.
The second proposal which was
based on the limited hospital facili-
ties on the campus and the great
Indebtedness that is encountered on
income source, when illness occurs,
the students have agreed to estab-
lish a group insurance plan. Under
such a plan they will be able to
secure maximum hospital treat
ment at low cost to their family
budgets. The present infirmary at
the University has IL beds for men
and IA beds for women students,
/ full time physician, two regis
tered nurses and 2 practical nurses.
According to the student associa-
ton officials the main reason for a
constitution revision is to change
the name from the Southern Uni
versity Student Association to that
of the Southern University Stu
dent Congress.
Under the congress idea, 1T
means the establishment of an
Upper House, composed of class
presidents and a lower house COM
posed. Of class representatives.

bought most of my things. | even
gave up my job to get ready. At
the last minute, things went wrong

have such bad breaks? | feel like
taking a shot gun to these no.
good men for the way they make
US suffer. I'm ashamed to go home,
but what can | do
Lena-Greenville, Miss.
Dear Lena:
Don't be bitter. 1t is hard not
to be so about such a situation, be-
cause the wound is so fresh. But
you are very lucky. Think what
would have happened and how you
would feel if your young man had
waited until after the marriage
and left you with a child or two.
1t is hard to be objective now, but
everything usually happens for the
best. Now that you are away from
home and money is low, why not
try taking a job until you feel
better about going back. Work is
great healer. In the meantime,
most of the hometown people will
forget about what happened to
you. Those who do not forget can
be given a simple honest explana-
ton upon your return.
One mistake you made was Civ
ing up your job too soon. 1t might
have been better to have taken a
leave AMI then resigned after your
marriage took place. But that is
all IN the past. Now you must
appraise your situation. There is
really nothing for you to be
ashamed of. Many have had the
same experience. The thing to do
now is to show all that you can
continue to live and find happi-
ness. There are many people who
will think you wise and courageous
for calling off your marriage when
you found such great odds and
problems facing you. If others had
the courage to weigh all angles
of a planned marriage and call it
off if such action seems advisable,
then we would have fewer divorces
and fewer broken homes which
create so many juvenile delin-
quents.

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - You
do not have to have unsightly
hands. If you do, it's your own
fault. First and foremost, see
that they are kept Immediately
clean. If there is tendency toward
dryness, see that you cream, oil
and massage them regularly, and
especially before going to bed. 1t is
quite profitable to secure a pair
of white cotton gloves to put on at
night after the treatment has been
given. This keeps the lubricants
from rubbing off on the bed linen
and assures your hands greater
benefits. The hand that is lovely
to touch is the hand that is so
treated.
