CREDIT UNION SAVINGS
NEAR SO MILLION MARK

MADISON, Wis (CNS) Mem
bers pumped another 1919 million
into u. S. and Canadian credit I'M
ions last year, bringing their savings
to S2,924 million, the 1856 CREDIT
UNION YEARBOOK reports. This
was 1870 increase over 1854.
The 10000 U. S. credit unions have
100000 members, and 1000 Cana
dian credit unions have 1,761, 900
members. The average credit union
list has $500 saved in these co-ops.
The YEARBOOK, published by
Credit Union National Association,
shows liz more members and go
more credit unions during 1866.
The years most significant credit
union development is the growing in
terest in these self-help thrift groups
throughout L attn America, the
YEARBOOK says. Already quarter
million people there have organized
920 credit unions and have saved $53

COMMUNISM AND DEMOCRACY IN AUSTRALIA"

The Labor Party went on record
against outlawing their Communist
opponents, but many individual Labor
Legislators and politicians declined
to uphold the party stand, believing
it was contrary to public opinion.
The public opinion polls indicated
that Methodists, Presbyterians, Bap-
fists, and Church of England adher-
ents were in favor of outlawing the
Communists while the Roman Catho-
lie minority, largely composed of
working class people, was decidedly
more tolerant.
Although almost all newspapers and
business leaders strongly urged a
Eyes" vote to ban Communists, the
electorate on September %, 1851,
surprisingly voted "No" by a small
majority. Since Australia has COM
pulsory voting laws, virtually every
qualified elector voted. The normally
conservative state of South Australia
cast a decided mo" vote, partly be-
cause the Lutherans of German back
ground, remembering how they were
viewed with suspicion by many during
World War II, feared any proposal TO
curb minority rights. Although Aus
tralia is not as democratic or tolerant
in spirit as Great Britain or the Sean
dinavian democracies, the voters in
the Antipodes in 1851 decided to re
ject the spirit of McCarthyism, which
was frequently mentioned during the
campaign.

Book Review
By LEICESTER WEBB
(Reviewed by DIR. MYRON TRIP,

| reviewed by DIX. M 4RON TRlPP
Windsor, Ontario)
This scholarly book by a faculty
member of the Australian National
university describes in detail the 1851
Australian national referendum cam
paign, when Prime Minister Menzies
sought to amend the federal consti-
tuition in order to grant Parliament
authority to outlaw the Communist
Party. In Australia, the Communists
have been always relatively weak nu-
merically and have never succeeded
In electing a member to the federal
Parliament, but did at one time domi-
nate the Miners Federation when it
antagonized public opinion in 1949
by calling a strike that paralyzed
many other industries.
After Menzies' Liberal-Country
Party coalition proposed the sug-
gested constitutional amendment in
the summer of 1851, an Australian
public opinion poll indicated 800
favoring outlawing of the Communist
Party, 120 opposed, and $50 unde-
cided. During the ensuing referendum
campaign, Herbert Evatt, leader of
the Labor Party, convinced many
voters that the plan to ban the Com
munists was an undemocratic threat
to civil liberties and to minority
groups, also that Menzies' proposal to
outlaw the unpopular Communists
was a means of distracting attention
from the governments reactionary
economic policies.

HOSPITAL

NEVVH III HAa
Turkey is concentrating histor

the establishment 750 years ago o.
a hospital and medical clinic at Kay
seri.
Some original structures still stant
in the central Turkish city. Early
documents reveal that the hospital
employed two general practitioners
two surgeons and two eye doctors.
When founded in 1906, it was ranked
among the worlds best.
Even then, hospitals were not new
in human experience, the National
Geographic Society says. Some au-
thorities think the earliest medical
schools were the Temples of Saturn,
which pre-date the Christian era. An
cient Romans built infirmaries for
their soldiers-possibly the first mill
tary hospitals.
Many early religious orders devoted
their time to the care of the sick. In
the 4th century A. D., st. Basil, a
founder of monastic institutions, es-
tablished religious hospital at Caesa-
rea in Capadocia. Paris was served by
a similar hospital founded in the
COOS.
Throughout the Dark Ages many
physicians tried to preserve Greco
Arabic medical knowledge. Much
medical learning filtered out to the
world from the School of Salerno. 1t
lowered among medical institutions
IF the 18th century.
Women studied nursing and OBJ
'tetics at Salerno, and treatise of
he time prescribed cures for many
diseases.
AS the world started emerging from
he Dark Ages, outstanding medical
chools sprang up in Oxford, England;
Paris and Montpelier in France;
Rome, Siena and Padua in Italy.
Nearly all illnesses were treated
With strict regulation of diet. Sea-
weed, rich in iodine, was used to COM
'at goiter as early as the 18th cen
ury. Animal organs formed the base
f many medical compounds, and one
nown concoction contained 81 SUBJ
tances, of which the chief ingredient
vas poisonous snakes flesh.
Popular remedies included hot
aths, purgation and blood-letting.

&
During the breeding season, there is alway$Ssone loss Of
taking them Illegally, SO that a breeding population of 400
White-Crowned Pigeons cannot possibly produce over 200
young, or a total of 600 birds on the wing. Because many nests
contained small young at the beginning Of this years hunt
ing season, and because 400 breeding birds is Mr.. Seaman's
maximum estimate, the number actually produced was pro
baby considerably less than 200, and the total Of birds on
the wing less than 500.
According to information received by members of this
group, at least 300 WhiteCrowned Pigeons have been killed
lon ST. Croix within the first week of the season, by non
resident hunters alone. These hunters are legally licensed,
but we have very strong reasons for believing that many Of
them have far exceeded the legal bag Limit Of 8 birds per
day and 16 per week.
We also have reason to believe that birds have been
shipped from ST. Croix, which is contrary to law, and that
moresthan the legal limit Of 10 birds have been carried away
in baggage of many Of the hunters leaving here.
The results of this slaughter, and Of that to be expected
during the rest of the season, is hat THE VERY EXISTENCE

the winter, and the considerable natural death-Ioss from
storms and other natural causes, and survive to find their
way back to st. Croix in 1857? Will there be enough to form
a breeding colony again? OF course we all hope so, but we
cannot-afford to take a chance. It will be no comfort to us to

THE WT1TEcRoWNED PIGEON IN ST. cRoIx
Present Situation:

The colony Of White Crowned Pigeons nesting at Krause
Anguina) Lagoon, St. Croix, is the only one left in the Virgin
Islands, although these fine birds nested in ST. Thomas and
at Salt River in st. Croix until they were shot out by hunters
about 10 years ago. They were also once abundant insPuerto
Rico, but have long been extinct there as q breeding species
This means that all the White4Crowned Pigeons taken by
sportsmen in ST. Croix, and probably those few taken IN St.
Thomas and st. John, come from this small area.
From 1850 Mr.. George A. Seaman, Wildlfe Biologist for
the Virgin Islands, has closely studied this colony and its nest
ing and production Of young. Now Mr.. Seaman, while both
smart and honest, is not necessarily any more SO than other OF
our citizens, but he has unquestonably spent more time study
inc and counting these birds than all the other citizens OF
ST. Croix put together, and his knowledge and opinions on
this subject should outweigh those of anyone else.
It is Mr.. Seaman's considered opinion that at the begin
ming Of the hunting season in 1850, there were between 500
and 800 White-Crowned Pigeons in the colony, and that at
the beginning Of the 1856 season there were only about half
this number or between 800 and 400, left These figures are
based on counts Of birds, counts of nests, and numbers OF

and is obviously happening at Krause Lagoon.

Warns Against Infection
The publication GP, the jour-
nal Of the American Academy Of
General Practice. warns with an
editorial against such infection.
Most dogs, it points out, learn
eventually that the calls of blad-
der and bowel are to be answered
|out-of-doors only
However, even the tidieSt-
appearing back yard may be
hazardous to children who share
its confines with brother dog"
The soil may become contain
mated by the dog roundworm.
The child who develops plea, a
craving for unnatural foods, and
becomes a dirt eater may be in
fected.
The ova in the contaminated
soil is transmitted to the child's
intestine where they mature to
a larval stage. Then they mi
crate throughouethe body some
times settling in various organs.
Wide Spectrum Of Disease
The resulting illness is called
viSceral larva migrans. It's sylnp-
toms vary depending upon what
organs are involved and there
seems to be a varying and wide
spectrum of the disease.
Sometimes there is a short
spell of ill-feeling, a vague sick
ness that can't quite be pin
pointed. In other cases there
may be extensive skin rashes, en-
largement of the liver or spleen,
wheeling from the lungs.
When the brain or the eyes
become affected serious convul-
sions or eye inflamations may
result.
Once, the report says, three
children in the same family
contacted the infection. Of
these. one nearly died. Another
had temporary mild symptoms
and the third barely showed any
symptoms.
The editors of GP concede
that: 1T is indeed disquieting to
learn that mans best friend is
such a menace to the health of
the family offspring. But before
you rush out to trade your dog
for a cat, wait a minute. Cat
roundworms (Toxocara mystax)
are also thought to produce Wis
'ceral larva migrans.
Suggestions Listed
But, few doctors suggest rid
ding the household of pets. And,
certainly, veterinarians don't.
The latter have this to offer:
/. Have all female dogs
wormed right after breeding.
2. Eliminate the worms in
puppies-and nearly all puppies
have worms-at the age of three
weeks. This is not too young
and there are potent drugs on
the market for this purpose
which will act without hurting
