OUR A N
BAT FOR YOU

Some diseases, once an effec-
tive vaccine has been found, are
easy to conquer. Take smallpox,
for instance. If a large part of
the country's population is vac
cinated, the chain of Infection
is broken and the virus fades out.
The same is true for diptheria.
But polio vaccination works
differently. 1t sets up antibodes
In the bloodstream that prevents
the polio virus from attacking
and destroying the nerve centers.
A person thus protected against
paralysis, however, can still har-
Dor the polio virus in his system
and can still transmit it to some
one else-his family, his neigh
bors, the people with whom he
works. Everybody, in short, re-
gardless of vaccination, is a po-
tential carrier"
That's what DR.. Jonas Salk
meant when he warned: "Your
neighbor's vaccination won't pro-
tect you" If you want protection
against paralytic polio, you must
get it yourself. Even if every 9TH
er person in your town were
and you were not, you
would still be in the category des-
ignated as susceptible to paraly-
tic polio"
The Sidney herald., 1957-05-23
PUBLIC DEBT is NOT
LIKE DEBT"

Most of us know that the fed
eral debt is about SITS billion
But few have any concept OF
what that means - it's just a
figure, almost beyond human
comprehension.
Senator Byrd, writing in Ma
tional Review, gives a vivid pic
ture of the debt. That $275 bill
lion, he says, sis the equivalent
of the assessed value in the Unit
ed States"
Then he goes on to say some
thing that must be far better
understood than it is now if this
country, as we know it, is to
survive: Public debt is not like
private debt. If private debt is
not paid off, it can be ended by
bankruptcy proceedings, d
maybe not many people are hurt.
If public debt is not paid off
paid off with taxes - the result
is disastrous initiation or repudia-
ton. Either would destroy our
form of government"
The proposed new budget is
the largest in our peacetime his
tory. According to the estimates,
there will be a small surplus if
this budget is approved. But it is
evident that even a very moder-
ate decline in the business boom,
with the effect that would would
have on tax revenues, would ell
inmate such a surplus and put
a deficit in its place.
Senator Byrd believes the bud
get can be cut by more than
Sc billion without harm to an
essential federal function. If we
cannot do that now, with the
economy running at peak speed,
when can we?

YOUR HOME

What has happened to the value

question with any degree of ac-

that if you make a thorough-go-

additions you'll be in for a con-

1t is very likely that you have
made major improvements to the
house itself - ranging from storm
windows to a larger garage or a

1t is a certainty that your pos

TV sets and hi-fi monographs,

Finally, you've probably made
important improvements to your

All of these things cost money.

WE'RE A LITTLE
ASHAMED

Memorial Day begins, for mil
lions of Americans, the longest
week end in a number of years
from Thursday to the following
| Monday. And in the light of past
experience we can be sure, I'm
fortunately, that it will not be an
unmixed blessing. In spite of the
stepped-up warnings via press,
radio and TV against reckless
driving and needless ~cavorting
on beach and boat, the news of
June third will be grisly reading.
And we may also expect as
an aftermath of this extend
ed holiday a trail of trash along
our highways and in resort areas
from coast to coast and border
to border to remind us that the
litterbug is still in our midst. But
there is some reason to hope
for some reduction in its tonnage.
AS a result of the intensive three
years work of Keep America
Beautiful, Inc, and the hundreds
of civic organizations, both To-
cal and national that have join
ed this crusade against litter,
measurable results are showing
up in some areas.
In Ohio, highway cleanup costs
have been cut from S621,733 in
1858 to S269,787 last year. Con-
necticut reports: THE litter prob
lem on our highways has i'm
proved appreciably in the past
years" And from the state
Washington comes the word
that in the Vancouver area
we have 80 percent less litter
