Railroads Told
To RevitaIize
Freight Service

NEW YORK Jan. IL R.-
Major railroads were called upon
yesterday to revitalize their
freight-handling m e hods to
meet competition of truckers. q.
The need for better services
was discussed by railroad repre-
sentatives and traffic managers
of various industries at the start
of a two-day meeting of the At
lantic States Shippers Advisory
Board
Although the ITS major rail-
roads handle more than so per
cent of the total tonnage shipped.
they transport less than Is per
cent of small shipments, or less
than carload lots, Charles B.
Roder, president of the advisory
board, said.
Mr.. Roder, general distribution
manager for American Home
Foods, said the railroad lost much
of their small shipment business
to trucking during the last Is
years and have since allowed
their services to deteriorate.
Meanwhile the trucking industry
cut its rates and provided direct
transportation to the retail de-
livery point, he added.
However, he said, in recent
years the trucking industry has
increased its rates beyond those
of the railroads and has allowed
its services to slip somewhat, and
now is the time for the railroads
to "reconstitute their facilities"
to meet this competition.

of divorced parents are somewhat better off than
children of parents who have separated without
divorce, and no worse off, once the initial shock is
past, than children Of widows
The key to the happiness of a child Of divorce
seems be his relationship with his mother (as well
as with his father. when this is a warm one,
divorce itself does not have such destructive effect
on the child" DR.. Goode observes.
divorce is drama of heartache and tragedy.
1t cannot be otherwise But the women in the Detroit
survey, for the most part had few regrets about the
divorce action itself.
Researchers asked: How do you think your life
would be today, if you hadnf gotten divorce?
Only seven per cent thought things would now be
better Five per cent believed conditions might be
better in certain ways but in others. Six per
cent didn't answer or didn't know Twenty-six per
cent thought things might be the same But the
remainder - Sc per cent - strongly declared that
things would have been worse
Realistically, if not hopefully, DR.. Goode con-
cludes by stating that the majority Of the divorces
found it better to be divorced than unhappily mar
ried. Many people will disagree with this attitude
But as the author reminds. Our aim was to find out
what is, not what ought to be- - The End

her remany him. But time doesn't heal all wounds.
After three years, women who had not remarked
became more antagonistic to their ex-husbands.
Z. NOW TINE CHILDREN WERE AFFECTED:
In the Detroit survey there were 1877 children per
couple, about the national average. Custody was
given to the mother in IS per cent Of cases. Nearly
all the women reported that this arrangement was
agreeable to the father.
Did the divorce have harmful effect on the chill
dren? The vast majority of the women denied this.
In answer to the key question, when were the
children hardest to handle = before, during after
the divorce?" only about one mother in seven said
the children harder to handle after the divorce.
An equal number thought the children had been at
their worst during the marriage the majority saw no
difference in their children's behavior.
This does not mean, DR.. Goode points out, that
children of divorce are as happy as children Of
normal homes. Even taking the women's replies at
face value, it must be borne in mind that they
were comparing the behavior of their children after
divorce with their behavior in home Of conflict.
Among the women who had remarked, three
quarters claimed their children were happier, and
another IS per cent felt they were no worse of.

A pageant depicting the birth

three times during the day. A
choral group formed of children
from 2la to 6 years old sang ma

The first fact about viruses is that despite the
general belief, they aren't mysterious ALL remember
once hearing man in the phone booth declare with
some pride, 81 had virus and almost everyone claims
to have had Virus X
In both cases the meaning is, Il was sick = from
some unknown cause.
While there is still much to learn about viruses good
deal Of the mystery of years ago gone. Because
much has been written about it, people know that
poliomyets is virus disease. So of most
familiar diseases chicken pox mumps and measles for
example. And smallpox, the first infectious disease
rolled by man, is virus disease.
You can see that vruses aren't mysterious but there
is great deal of ground to be covered in discussing
them. One important and interesting aspect for exam
pe is that the virus diseases which used to be largely
childhood problem, today affecting adults much
more often and more severely Perhaps the best start
for this discussion would be try of the
questions which might occur to you.
What Virus Infection? To answer that question we
must first understand that the term infection means
the invasion of the body by any of several types Of
germs. group Of which called vrses These germs
set up housekeeping SO to speak, and multiply Inam
nation results and sometimes the body cell dies which
in turn causes further inflammation.
Germs can be divided into four major groups.
Some, including the familiar bacteria which cause
streptococcc sore throat and pneumonia, live and
multiply on the surface membranes of the nose and
throat, for example, but occasionally invade more
deeply.
Another group is yeasfS and noids which vegeta-
tive rather than anmal-like and diseases like
athletes foot Only rarely they responsible for more
serious illness.
The third kind Of germ is the much larger parasitic
organisms, such as the amoebae which cause amoebc
