Some Children Resist
Respiratory Bacteria

A significant number of children
are able to resist some respiratory
germs they are exposed to in their
homes, according to a study report
ed in an American Medical Asso-
citation journal.
The finding indicates that other
factors besides exposure are in
volved in the acquisition of respir-
atory organisms, Henry Stimson
Harvey, MD, and Mrs. Marjorie
Bodwell Dunlap, MA, Acton,
Mass, said in the current (June)
American Journal of Diseases O f
Children.
A total of 351 children from "a
healthy families living in rural
communities was studied for per-
lods of l to years to determine
the incidence of bacteria = hem
olytic streptococcus, hemophilus
influenzae and pneumoooccus.
Between birth and one or two
years, the authors said, children
carried large amounts of the flu
and pneumonia germs but very
little strectococcus, the germ that
can cause sore throat and other
Illnesses. Children entering the 2
to 6-year-old period frequently car
rled all three organisms, they said.
The peak incidence of strep infec-
tions came in the early school per-
lod, while all three organisms
gradually decreased after the age
of II, they said.
Within this general pattern, the
researchers said, there were wide
individual differences, particularly
in the occurrence of Streptococcus.
The 'strep germ was not found i'm
all individuals in the susceptible

Dear Friends:
The last two Fathers Days Hayes
has really gotten personal gifts
from the children. Last year we
gave him a wheel barrow, but this
years really presented a problem.
Not only is he an Air Force man,
but he clings to the heights here
on earth too. Since he is an anna
teur radio operator it seems he is
always scaleing the heights of his
antenna tower or spiking his way
up some pine out back to saw off
a limb for mobility of his said an
tenna. We thought the equipment
he needed most this year was a tall
ladder and this we bought on the
OF at the PIX. Now you know it's
not an easy job to hide an eight
foot ladder, but this we did until
Sunday morning. While he was
still in bed his 8 daughters haul
ed the ladder out from beside
Dawn's bed and manipulated it
down the hall and back into our
bedroom. 1t was funny to see the
three of them drag in his gift.
This family always rises early.
Since Leslie's arrival three n
one half years ago we never have
been able to "sleep in" and $50 or
700 is usually our rise and shine
time and last Sunday was no ex-
ception. We were anxious to get
up this morning since we expected
four friends from home for the day.
About 10:30 that morning my
brother, Ted, and his wife, Kinney,
Larry Isaacs and Media Roe arriv-
ed to spend the day with us.

our friend Fred Shirley. The rest
of us soon sat down at the din

CENSORSHIP THROUGH TAXATION

@The hometown editors of this country
don't favor censorship through taxation.
Here's the story:
Some time ago the Internal Revenue
Service laid down a rule which says that
business cannot deduct as a business ex-
pense, money spent to influence legislation,
even though the legislation in question di-
rectly and seriously affects it. This fiat has
been applied to numbers of businesses =
notably the electric utilities which, as
life-and-death matter, oppose the govern
ment ownership movement and legislation
advancing it.
Pending Gin Congress is legislation known
as the Boggs bill, which would revoke the
IRIS G'uling, and permit business to present
its side of controversies through advertising
and otherwise without paying a heavy tax
penalty for that privilege.
A short time ago The American Press,
a magazine serving the hometown papers of
America, polled editors on a number of
current legislative issues. One question ask
ed whether or not they favored the Boggs
bill. The "YeS" response was SO per cent,
as against 28 per cent saying "No'', and
the three per cent offering no opinion.
Free speech and free expression of opin-
ion, within the limits of established laws
covering such matters as libel and misrep-
resentation, have always been considered
basic rights in this country. But they ap-
proach the point of meaninglessness if
man or an organization has to pay through
the nose in taxes in order to exercise them
The Internal Revenue Service ruling may
be legal, but it SCOTS at simple justice The
Boggs bill would correct injustice.

HOW MUCH DO YOU READ?

Some centuries ago when the art of print
ing was developed, the way was opened to
spread intelligence among the masses of
mankind. Up to that time, when Gutten-
berg used his movable types, information
and intelligence belonged to very exclusive
society.
1t was presumed, in that far-away day,
that the production of books in numbers
would make available to every man and wo-
man the opportunity to learn and to know.
1t was presumed, of course, that men and
women woulde be anxious to assimilate the
accumulated knowledge of the ages.
Surveys have indicated, however, that
nearly half of all Americans do not read
books. This, despite the fact that more than
half of our adults live within a mile of
public library. Presumably many Ameri-
cans are satisfied with what they know and
dS DOT bestir themselves to find out any
thing new
The making of books has become mass
production enterprise in the United States.
Unfortunately, many of them are not worth
the time consumed in their reading. Others
are extremely partisan, presenting preju-
diced viewpoints and artful propaganda.

FORMATION OF BUSINESS
CORPORATION" BY A RAIL-
ROAD

AS suggested above there are
many things which railroad COM
pany can do without any additional
Legislation. The Boston and AL
bany Railroad which runs through
Wellesley Mass. had two beautiful
stone stations built during prop
porous times. One of these it has
Milford chronicle., 1962-06-22

rented to a clothes cleaning estab-
lishment with a small waiting
room for passengers. The o t h
railroad station one mile beyond
is being demolished by the rail-
road company which will sell the
land for various purposes.
In almost every community
there is a shortage of good park
ing spaces at the present time.
There are sections of vacant land
which the railroad company has
which could be rented for parking
lots. These would be both a con-
tribution to the community and all
so give a constantly increasing
revenue to the railroad companies
from whom it would collect money
through the leases Of the property.
IMPORTANCE OF EVERY RAIL-
ROAD COMPANY GETTING PER-
MISSION FROM THE INTER-
STATE COMMERCE COMMIS-
SION TO GO INTO OU Il SID e
BUSINESS
Such Outside businesses" vary
from the operation of buses to the
leasing of supermarkets and small
factories. This is a real opportuni-
ty for railroads to discover what
can be done. In the case of the
Bangor and Aroostook it has had
its business corporation purchase
personal loan company to make
small loans along it's line; it lis
now negotiating for a machinery
company to install automation i'm
various plants of New England. Its
headquarters are at B an g or
Maine; the Chamber of Commerce
of that city will be glad to send
to any other Chamber of Com
meree details of what the Bangor
and Aroostook Corporation is do
ing.
Milford chronicle., 1962-06-22
EVERY CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE SHOULD WAKE UP

TIL csc business corporations
which are gradually being formed
do not change the operations of the
railroad passing through your city.
Such business corporation"
however gives the railroad an OPP
portunity to use it's right-of-way
it's stations and its opportunities
for business in more profitable
ways. Everyo Chamber of Com
merce should now take this mat
ter up with the railroad passing
through it's city. Said railroad en-
larging its facilities means a profit
which should mean an advantage
to your city as we'll as to the
stockholders of the railroad.
The railroad passenger business
is dead and every community
should recognize this as soon as
possible. Otherwise the railroad
stockholder perhaps should con-
slider alternatives in other trans
portation fields.
SUGGESTIONS TO CHAMBERS
OF COMMERCE
Every Chamber of Commerce at
its next Directors meeting should
appoint a Railroad Committee.
This Railroad Committee should
meet and carefully go over the

u. S. IS NOT IMMUNE

Economic retaliation between friendly
nations is not pleasant thing to beholf.
The generalization applies, regrettably, to
the present tariff conflict between Belgium
and the United States.
1t was a protectionist gambit initiated
by this country which counted as the first
move in the present difficulty. The admins
tration, in response to pressure from indus
try, raised tariffs several weeks ago on
imports of Belgian glass and wool carpets.
Belgium complained that this jeopardized
two important Belgian industries.
The complaint is understandable, since
American purchase of these products is
substantial. But the administration was
either unable or unwilling to do anything
about the matter, so it sat tight
Someone in Washington apparently had
forgotten, or chose to ignore, that Belgium
was no longer a small nation alone in the
jungleS of international trade. On the con-
trary, as a member of the European Eco
nomic Community she was able to command
the support of all the Common Market
countries. In response, therefore, to a Bel
gian request, FEC agreed to counter action.
When retaliatory duties were placed
against certain American products the mag
nitude of our problem became apparent. No
longer will it be possible to deal separately
with these countries. We have learned the
hard way that as a formidable economic
unit the Common Market is prepared to de-
fend itself collectively against any trade
action it considers discriminatory Even the
United States is not immune.
&S3&~~
TAKEN IN STRIDE
BY large, the investing public is COM
posed of people of means who are tradition
ally conservative. Some are moderate, some
less so. The administrations fiscal prac-
tices, its leftward leanings, its attitude to-
ward business have been disturbing to many
of them. The Presidents blocking of a steel
price increase crystalzed their anguish.
Their sense of bafflement, accentuated in
some quarters by genuine though not wholly
realistic alarm, may have been what threw
the market into its recent psychological tail
spin. But if a sort of extremist "vote Of no
confidence in the Kennedy regime was
what actually spanked the panic, small Won
der that it was short lived The rebound
indicated that thinking conservatives do not
share the gloom about the economy They
may realize that the social reforms of re-
cent decades have actually been the saliva
tion of conservatism in America.
This view is summed up in the book,
"The Politics of Hope" by Arthur Schles-
niger, Jr. "The goth century in America
and Great Britain" he writes "saw the
rejection of laisez-faire, the subjugation of
the business cycle, the drowning of revOlu-
tion in torrent Of consumer goods :. ;. The
revolutionary fires within capitalism, light
ed by the great industrialists in the 10Th
century, were put out in the goth by the
triumph of industry and by the liberal
politicians"
Capitalism has changed; it has incorpor-
ated clements of social planning and is thus
strengthened. Our economy is far better
equipped now than in the past to take big
bear raid in its stride. That is heartening
lesson to be learned from recent occurrences
in the stock market.

CHRONICLE MILFORD DELAWARE FRIDAY JUNE

We have heard young men and women
talk about their difficulty in selecting au-
thoritative and worthwhile books on var
ious subjects in which they happen to be
interested. These people know that you can
not believe everything that you see in print,
and without the technical information nee
essary to choose wisely among the authors,
find themselves at a loss in the selection of
intelligent, impartial and interesting vol
umes.
Nothing is to be gained by criticizing the
authors of popular volumes or the publish
ers who put them on sale. After all, the au-
thor wants to write a book that will sell,
and the publisher want the profits that come
from publishing best seller. Nevertheless,
Libraries and publishers might render pub
lie service if they created some agency to
function in an advisory capacity and to
serve the interest of readers rather than the
writer's and the publishers. In the long run,
everybody would gain.
