SUMMER is TOO LATE

The chances are that somewhere IN your
vicinity next summer an ambulance may go
changing down the street and the next day
you will learn that neighbor has been strick-
en- with paralytic polio.
Then you will remember that in the
spring you had read about polio vaccina-
ton drive OF course, you had meant to get
your family and yourself inocuiated But
somehow you had put it off. 1t wasn't con-
yenient just then; you'd do it later; it slipped
your mind.
So, at the height of the summer polio
season, you find yourself unprotected. A cold
shiyer comes over you as you recall pictures
of young limbs in metal braces, young faces
protruding from iron lungs.
Anxiously you telephone your doctor.
Yes, he says, the Salk vaccine is effective
against paralytic polio. "But," he adds, sit
takes seven to 10 days for the first shot to
take effect then wait of two to six weeks
for the second shot that will provide. reas-
enable protection for this polio season"
You load your family in your car and you
get your first injections. But days pass while
you wait-and fear gnaws at your heart.
Suppose the disease strikes before the vac
cine builds up its defenses? How could you
ever forgive yourself? a.
If you act noa0, you need suffer no such
fear and guilt. This is one time when delay
may literally be fatal

labor. Every employer complains

What About The Outlook!
AS the oldest of this postwar
crop of babies is now under twelve
years of age, no relief can be ex-
pected (without a severe business
for at last five years.
The situation is being tinkered with
still further by minimum wage and
other labor registration. In the
business is prosperous
and production is close to an all
time high. This means that the sap
ply of labor is low and the de-
mand for labor is abnorn1ally high.

DEPRESSION see no relief until af-
ter 1860.
LabOr-SaVing Machinery
AS a result of the above con-
ditions, there is constant demand
for labor saving machinery Of all
kinds. This especially applies to
all forms of Office labor-saving de-
vices. We hear much talk about
automation, that is the running of
a factory or Office automatically
with very few employees; but this
is for some time in the future.
Changing to automation is both
a slow and an expensive process
and requires considerable capital
investment.
The most practical means of
bridging the next five years is to
take greater care in the selection
of employees and to treat them
well. There seems to be natural
average wage for given work in
a given community. There is no
use attempting to buck this wage

Dear Friends:
Our birthday parties for our two
daughters each have a traditional
color theme. Lynne, who is ten,
prefers pink to any other color and
her toys. dresses and even her
birthday parties scream" pink
AS you know, our Z year old. Dawn
was born on the Fourth of July
and the patriotic colors just nat
urallY are dawn to her.
Last Thursday we celebrated
Dawn's TN natal day with a red,
white and blue party. The blue
table cloth, blue paper drinking
cups, tiny American flags, red,
white and blue candy cups with
toffee, covered with red and blue
shiny paper placed. in the cups,
made the table look very gay. My
garden flow ers are lovely now and
was s5le to pick appropriate
lowers for the center piece. Even
made blue vegetable dye) lemon
ade, which to be perfectly honest
wasn't to appetizing looking.
The biggest mess was trying to
make a red, white and blue cake.
The white was easy, but why does
MT the vegetable dye, dye red in
stead of pink and aqua instead of
a true, bright blue?. Well, the ten
little guests didn't mind the color
and soon gohhled up the birthday
treats. after they had eaten g1od,
ole American hot dogs for ssasscE.
Dawn enjoyed playing WITH her
birthday gifts until tTe when we
were invited to another party. Joy
and Dave. Baugh had the four

ter our big luncheon fare the fried
chicken. baked beans, potato salad.

Baugh's surely tasted just Won
derful.
For the past four years (when
we haven't been home on leave in
Julyl we have had a fireworks dis
play of our own here in our front
yard We usually pool our fireworks
with other neighbors and that way
have quite sumptuous display.
The Baughs and our good friends
the Shirleys joined us this year,
and the children and especially the
Daddys enjoyed the show Even
with all this adult supervision a
spark did fall in Lynne's hair and
was quite painful for a minute.
Around ten that evening the rersl
young ones were in their beds, but
the older "children" sat on our
porch and ,,..tched the display of
two local drive-in theatres-their
business location being about three
blocks away.
Must tell you that yesterday we
picked our first red tomato from
our own garden We've had so
much fun with our vegetable gar
den this year and have been very
successful considering the small
one we planted So far this season
we've enjoyed waxed string beans.

We MUST KNeW MORE


America is the greatest country in the
world, the freest Of all nations, the richest
and most advanced. Each of us, according to
his or her choice can get worked up over
quiz contests Elvis Presley, Marilyn Mon
roe, the bowling championships, million
dollar moSie, the 1857 model cars, or what
ever you wish But with all due respect to
entertainment, leisure, comfort, the great
ness of America and its citizenery; it is far
from inappropriate to state, and to keep re-
stating, that unless Americans learn more
they or their children can perish.
The growing lack of concern for educa-
tion the declining curiosity which seems to
coincide with television, the disinclination
of many to learn, is a danger. A modern
society can retain position of leadership
and dominance only by the use of knowledge
A modern nation can retain its democratic
freedoms only if its citizenry is informed and
relatively we'll educated.
Technical and scientific knowledge, engi-
neering knowledge and skill, a greater sense
of history-these are but part of what is in
vOlved in our development, our maintenance
of our present world position and perhaps,
in the last analysis, our suryivai
Sports and entertainment need not be
scorned, but a sense of balance and perspec-
tive must be retained. The strength of
nation depends significantly upon the knowl-
edge, the education and the skill of its citi-
to continue developing? Or is America slip
ping into complacency? This is one of the
most important questions we can ask our
selves and think about at the present time.
S%@&S
DRIVING FORCE
'Todays farming is more highly capital
ized,- per man job, than is the rest of our
economy" That statement comes. from no
less an authority than Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson, in his book Farmers at the
Crossroads" He adds that it takes an aver
age of about 500, 0,000 worth of Investment per
worker on commercial family operated farms.
This illustrates the extraordinary extent
of the agricultural revolution in this coun-
try-a revolution that has made it possible
for each farmer to produce enough for him
self and 10 other people, where so years ago
he could produce only enough for himself
and others. The driving force in that rev.
olution has been mechanization.
Mr. Benson also said: Had it been poss-
ible to transport, by magic, farmer from
Biblical times to an American farm of 100
years ago, he would have recognized almost
every implement then in, use-the fail, hoe
and rake, for example. Today he would rec
ognize hardly any-tract0r, hay baler, milk
ing machine or combine. s-.s
Moreover that revolution has been far
more potent force in this country than else
where. Mr. Benson points out that the Rus
sian farm delegation which visited this coun-
try year ago was much impressed to find
father and his 12-year-old son operating
320-acre Iowa farm without hired help. One
of the Russians said it would have taken 100
men to operate farm of that type in his
country.
Our farmers have their problems-but
they have made amazing progress, thanks in
large part to mechaniZation.

FOCUS OF RADIATION

The government of Switzerland is report
ed to be thinking about whether to call an
international scientific meeting to discuss the
extent of radiation danger resulting from
nuclear weapons tests. The idea is a good
one, since there is at present wide disagree
ment anon scientists trained to evaluate
this hazaruv
Although scientists of many nations have
spoken up on the subject, the views express
ed range all the way from casual unconcern
to the most acute alarm. There is simply no
concensus, thus lar, as to how much harm
radio active falloOt may do human beings
now living and generations as yet unborn.
meeting of top scientists who would seek
to reach at least tentative agreement on this
vital matter might be of great benefit to the
world.
The principal fault one can find with the
Swiss plan is that it does not go far enough.
Radio active fallout as the result of bomb
tests is Only part of the danger. The use
of atomic energy in the production of power
also results in radio active waste. Unless
such waste is handled wisely, it, too, can
become a menace.
If an international meeting of scientists
is called, in Switzerland or elsewhere, it
should delve into the whole broad question
of radio active waste-from peace time uses
as well as from bombs. This problem is of
profound concern to the entire human race.
The scientific resources of the world should
be directed, without undue delay, toward a
solution.
