VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Vitomin E May Delay Aging Process
By THOMAS r. HENRY

Expnriments that indicate
a possible age-delaying vita
min for human diet have been
reported.
The substance is vitamin
E, contained in wheat germ
oil, whose functions, espe-
cially for man, have been
quite debatable. Lack of it
has been demonstrated to
cause sterility in rats.
But its role may be very
extensive indeed, DR.. Zyg-
munt Menschik, associate
professor of an tony at
Georgetown University, told
the International Congress of
Nutrition. It is, he said, prob
ably required to keep the 're-
ticular and elastic fibers" of
the body throughout the ami
NAL kingdom in good condi-
ton.
These fibers, DR.. Menschik
said, are distributed in con-
nective tissue all over the
body. Any deficiency or ill
ness which would produce
changes in them would have
far-reaching repercussions on
health and cause general
weakness, especially in the
heart and blood vessels. He
first observed, the George
town professor reported, the
changes in these fibers in
heart conditions. This led
him to study them through
out the body in mice, rats,
guinea pigs and rabbits whom
he fed II different diets vary
ing in vitamin e content, as
well as various fats.
Results Of Deficiency
I'm vitamin E deficiency"
he reported to the world con-
gress, "the reticular fibers Of
spleen, lymph nodes and
smooth muscle exhibit seq
mentS of localized swelling.
followed by multiple break
ing of their continuity. A
similar picture is obtained in
selenium deficiency, overfeed-
ing with unsaturated fatty
acids and on synthetic fat
free diets.
I'm prolonged vitamin E
deficiency. the elastic ele-
ments throughout the body
undergo gradual disintegra-
ton, preceded by beady
swelling, breaking and coil
ing. Rabbits and guinea pigs
develop the changes much
sooner than rats and mice.
ut remains to be seen
whether the same dietary
factors are essential in man
for the integrity of reticLlar
and elastic fibers. If so prop
erly adjusted diet may in
many instances keep some
people for longer periods in
a state of fitness and youth.
1t may delay the onset of
arteriosclerosis, and many
other illnesses associated
partially or totally with the
gradual decrease of the
elasticity of the tissues with
advancing age"

Fat blood is killing mil
lions.
1t is the major cause Of
arteriosclerosis, or hardening
of the arteries, and resulting
heart attacks. probably the
major cause of death over
most of the world.
1t may be due to the
abundance of modern living.
This was stressed at meet
ings of the World Congress
of Nutrition here.

Truisms?

Ran across a good one the
other day, very old, but EN-
tightening:
Parable of the IsrAs:
Socialism - If you own
two cows. you give one to
your neighbor.
"Communism-If you own
two cows, you give them to
the government and then the
government gives you some
milk.
"Fascism-If you own two
cows, you keep the cows and
give the milk to the govern
ment; then the government
sells you some milk.
New Dealism-If you own
two cows, you shoot one and
milk the other; then you
pour the milk down the
drain.
'Nazism-If you own two
cows, the government shoots
you and keeps the cows.
"Capitalism-If you own
two cows, you sell one and
buy a bull"

United States Presidents
elected in "20th years" who
have died in office.-E. p.
A. Six have done so, begin
ming with the President elect
ed in 1840. William Henry
Harrison died in April 1841,
a month after his inaugura-
ton. Lincoln, Garfield and
Mckinley, elected in 1860,
1880 and 1900, died in Office
as the result of asSassina-
tion-in 1865, 1881. and 1901
Harding was elected in 1920
and died in 1923; F. D. Roose-
velt, reelected in 1910 for
his third term, died in April
1945 shortly after entering
on his fourth term.
@. What is the difference,
If any, between legal interest
and lawful interest?-D. N.
A. The legal rate of in
terest is that which may le-
gally be collected on claims
which bear interest but in
which no rate was stipulated.
Most States fix this rate at
6 per cent. Lawful" interest
varies greatly. depending on
State laws, and is the highest
rate which may be stipulated
in ordinary written contracts,
or which may be charged in
specified transactions.

The Labor Vote

If Senator Kennedy ever
had a chance to move into
the White House, he lost
such chance when the AFL-
CIO voted to support the
Kennedy Johnson ticket
November next. 1t is re-
ported the AFL-CIO has a
membership of 13 millions.
This being true, it is safe to
guess that Kennedy will get
] million of this number and
his opponent will get the
remainder.

Medical Aid

The recent Senate action
on medical care for the aged
is encouraging. The bill
passed is not enough to meet
the need but more important
it is not an overdone, waste
full or dangerous bill. Opposi-
ton to any plan which in
corporateS use of social Sc
curity for medical care gives
hope for the preservation Of
freedom in medical practice.
Senator Kennedy's as
sumption of a type of tenn
per-tantrum- tactic in his
pursuit of passage of the
Anderson amendment is dis
quieting. The Senate deliber-
alton and voting has ex-
pressed the will of the people.
Under the circumstances, a
hand-out bill can only be
interpreted as a bribe for
votes. More than ever, the
American people must exer-
else caution in their voting
in November. Promises of
many things must be eyed
with suspicion and a vital
question asked: How much
individual freedom must I
surrender when I accept a
hand-out, bill? Also: What
would living be like under the
leadership of a candidate
who urges such surrender?
The Anderson amendment
type of bill is neither neees-
sary nor desirable. 1t is an
unwarranted surrender of in
dividuality for the aged sick
and his doctor.

that remained were the hooks
In the ceiling above the beds
as q reminder Of the problem
which had plagued Montego
Bay hotel Sleepers for years.
Along the road from the air
port to the Montego Beach Ho-
tel we had seen earth-moving
machinery busily filling swamp
lands close to Jamaica's famed
North Shore beaches. Much of
the land had already been re-
claimed.
An innkeeper told us this
reclamation, plus an intensive
spraying program, had whipped
the mosquito problem this sea-
son for the first time.
That night as we climbed
into bed. we spotted one lone,
forlorn mosquito buzzing lazily
around the room, looking as II
he had lost q lot Of his friends.
Lazy Fellow
He was so lethargic we were
able to swat him with the first
Swipe. We hope the Montego
Bay Hotel Association appre-
ciateS our contribution to the
mosquito control program.
Despite the mosquitoes, now
gone and forgotten, Montego
Bay has justly earned, in 10
short years, q reputation as a

top spot for winter vacationers
who follow the sun. Its beaches
are broad and sandy, its hotels
comfortable. and its free port
Shops-offering such items as
fine Pringle cashmere sweaters
at $17.75 and beautiful doeskin
gloves at 50 a pair-alluring to
the distaff side.
Montego Bay also has gained
the reputation Of being a rich
mans playground. But, as in
other places Of the world
touted as expensive, you can
find accommodations to At
your means.
You can pay $65 a day for a
double room at the fancy
Round Hill Hotel, or you can
go to a guest house for $40 to
$12 a day double. Many Of the
guest houses operate on full
American plan. There is a wide
range Of prices in between.
Abe Issa's Montego Inn-not
so flashy as his better-known
Myrtle Bank Hotel in Kingston
offers rooms at $40 a day
each for two to a room. So does
Holiday House and Hacton
House.
Popular Place
AS we have said, Monteso
Bay has become extremely
popular, and many hotels all
ready are sold out for the
season.
Many new travellers this sea-
son will be discovering the
charm Of Montego May. Major
West Indies cruise liners will
be stopping there for the first
time to set their passengers
ashore for shopping and gawk-
ing.
The bays deep blue harbor
provided an anchorage for
Columbus on his second trip to
Jamaica. The Spanish ruled
the island for $50 years, but
little of the Spanish flavor re-
mains today. When the Eng
lish took the island, the
Spaniards destroyed most of
what they could not take with
them.
Still in fair condition, how
ever, is what Jamaica terms its
most important and interesting
relic Of Spanish history, the
monastery at Myranda Hill.
Another point of interest to
visitors is the st. James Parish
