is-Dial removes odor-causing skin bacteria

Polio Continues.
10 Strike Victims:
Money Needed

In 1955--the year in which the
Salk polio vaccine was given to
the world by March of Dimes
research--s0me $4,000 Ameri-
cans were stricken with infan-
tile paralysis. 1t was the eighth
consecutive year of the worst
polio epidemics of all time.
Millions of children were pro-
tected through vaccine supplied
by the March of Dimes. But,
among the unprotected, polio
still took its terrible toll.
In Massachusetts and Wis
consin, sweeping epidemics
brought tragedy to thousands of
home. Throughout the nation
the disease served notice that
polio is not licked yet. How
ever grim the emergency, your
National Foundation met the
challenge with March of Dimes
funds, equipment and personnel,
contributing 10 years of expert
ence to the battle against po-
lilo.
At the years end, there were
$4,000 polio patients who would
face 1856 looking to the March
of Dimes for assistance. No
vaccine can help the stricken.
They're crippled now. Their
victories don't make headlines.

Rev. M. C. Valentine, one of
Century's leading agents on the
Greenwood District, evidently
gets a lot of pleasure out of his
work for he has made many
friends in the process of collect
ing his debit and calling on peO-
pie in the interest of the Cen
fury Burial Association.
Outstanding mong the
friends he has made, are Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Golden of Min
ter City. In commenting about
this particular family, Rev. Val
entine's face fairly beams with
delight; he describes them in
one simple phrase and we quote,
''The Goldens are really my
friends"
The Goldens have been mem
bers of the Century for a long
period Of years. They are some
of the Century's most loyal
members as vel as one of the
largest. if not the largest fam
lily unit on the Associations
record. Besides Mr.. aid Mrs.
Golden's children, they have Is
grandchildren, all of whom are
on Rev. Valentines debit.
Besides the sizeable income
from his Century debit, Rev.
Valentine pastors two churches,
they are Jones Chapel Baptist
church at Honey Island and
Macedonia Baptist church at
Schlater.
Rev. Valentine is married and
lives in Greenwood; the couple
has no children of their own,
but get pleasure in sharing with
the children in their community
and in their churches.
Recently, Rev. Valentine was
a patient in the Afro-American
Hospital here in Yazoo City. A
part of the time that he was
confined, his wife was with him,
but after he had improved Mrs.
Valentine returned home. We
are very glad to report that
Rev. Valentine, although still
confined to the hospital at this
writing, is making progress to-

to be able to leave the hospital
with nj the next few days. Rev.
Valentine says he appreciates
his connection with the Century
and hopes he will be up and
able to be present at the forth
coming A gents Convention
which will be held here on Mon

Pyrethrum is bit safer where
there are pets. But it must be
applied oftener.
Sodium fluoride is a traditional
remedy. but is not considered
to be quite so effective as the
newer roach killers.
Whatever you use, be sure to
guard against reinfestation.
Don't store grocery bags and
cartons around the house. They
may be carriers of roach eggs.
Keep garbage cans and kitchen
floor as clean as possible. Fill
cracks around pipes passing
through floors or walls with
putty, plastic wood or other
Sealer.
Above all. don't feel a sense of

or two. Just get busy.

tend with. there's only one thing
to do. Keep after them. They

without going into a tailspin
With the roach. you must be
practically a genius.
A woman we heard about had
a nervous collapse over these
pests and had to be hospitalized.
Unable TO cope with them. she
found they were underneath
tables, sofas. chairs. beds. desks,
coffee tables. sink cabinets. They
raised havoc in linen closets and
bureau drawers to boot.
THE ROACH, it turns out, is
one of the oldest of insects-and
one of the most resourceful.
1t can live on almost anything,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-22

and on almost nothing. It's
quick, clever, long-lived and,
above all, amazingly hardy.
These attributes explain why this
household pest has been around
so long and, unfortunately. shows
no sign Of giving up.
Turn on a light in the kitchen
and they scoot away faster than
a mouse. Reaches hate light.
They like to nose around in the
dark.
One apartment dweller kept
lights on half the night to keep
the reaches in hiding. She

hoped. We suppose, they'd sneak
away to another apartment.
Before the day of the won
der" insecticides. housewives were
more handicapped than today in
fighting these pests.
One of the old methods of
Kidding a household of them was
to pour a small amount of mo-
lasSeS on piece of wood and
float it in a basin of water.
( The idea was that the reaches,
tempted to swim to the molasses,
would drown in the basin instead,
Another remedy was a mixture
Of borax and turpentine, or I'M
Stacked lime, placed in the chinks
and holes in which reaches hide.
PEOPLE STILL have home
remedies for getting rid of the
hateful roach.
One woman says: "Just sock
every bug you see with fly
swatter."
A little 10-year-old-an i'm
maculate. dainty thing dressed
in pink and blue with matching
shoes and handkerchief and
pocketbook-puts it this way:
Just take off your shoe and
hit him real, real hard. II you
don't get him the first time, hit
him hard again."
Others use a mixture of borax
and flour - equal parts - and
place it around the drainboard.
Or put the mixture on small
pieces of paper to be placed in
roach-infested cupboardS and
cabinets. Some add sugar to this
mixture.
THESE OLD FASHIONED
remedies are really outdated. The
newer residual insecticides are
the most effective and long
lasting.
If you don't want to do the
work yourself, call in an exter-
minator. Otherwise, you can
treat your house or apartment
with any one of number of pre-
scribed insecticides.
The Agriculture Department
recommends any one or all of
four: Chlordane, DOT, pyre-
thrum and sodium flouride.
Chlordane is one of the most
effective, either as a 2 per cent
spray or a 5 per cent powder.
When applied as a residual spray,
the oil or water base evaporateS
and leaves an invisible film,
which can be deadly to reaches
walking over it.
