STORY
By FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Writer

When this reporter was a
boy in Lowell, Mass, some As
years ago, all the children
would hold their noses and run
fast-on the other side of the
street-when they passed q
house bearing the fearsome
legend: Scarlet Fever"
Actually, we were in more
danger Of getting the disease
from possible healthy car
riers" among us than we were
from getting 1t from the poor
chile who lay sick abed inside
the house-his throat inflamed
and his body covered with the
strawberry-red rash character
izing the fever.
Today, placarding Of houses
where there are patients suf-
fering from such infectious ills
as scarlet fever and diphtheria
is a real rarity.
For one thing, doctors have
learned over the last few dec
AIDES that strict isolation of
the patient-to the extent of

Just going into the house, as
distinguished from actual close
contact with the patient-has
little effect in limiting the
spread Of many diseases.
They feel, too, that in many
cases, a child can spread his
infection-in school, for exam
ple-before he himself comes
down with full-blown sickness.
Extreme Measures Gone
Besides, effective preventive
or treatment methods became
available over the years for the
one-time common killers like
scarlet fever and diphtheria.
And there's even suggestive
evidence-for scarlet fever at
least-that the causative germs
have lost much of their punch
in the last so years or so.

THE VACCINE STORY
Extreme Isolation Ended

days b fore pasteurization of
milk became well-established.
Case rates and death rates
ran high. For example, in New
York City alone in the period
1900 1904, there were 1851
reported cases, with 4,152
deaths.
While national figures on the
number of cases In those days
are not readily available, the
mortality rate from scarlet few
er in 1910 was 100 deaths per
one million population.
BY 1935-l939. when the Pub
lie Health Service was listing
scarlet fever cases together
with septic sore throat cases
also caused by strep germs
the death rate for both ills to-
gether had dropped to IA per
million population. But the
number Of cases averaged
about 100000 annually.
Sulfa Drugs Cut Toll
It was around 1899 that the
sulfa drugs first came into use,
and the death toll from strep
infections began to drop sharp
ly. Later, penicillin and other
antibiotic wonder drugs came
along in the 1940s-accounting
for q really dramatic drop in
the strep toll.
Today. while the incidence Of
strep infections Is at least sew
eral hundred tn ousand a
year - with some estimates
going as high as 800, 000-the
death rate has dropped to few
er than one death per million
population.
Scarlet fever is due to a par
ticular breed Of strep which ex-
udes q poisonous toxin. The
strep bug alone can cause the
sore throat and certain other
symptoms Of the disease, but
it's the toxin that causes the
rash.
Saying that scarlet fever now
ranks as q relatively mild d.
sease-although complica-
tons, such as rheumatic fever,
are still to be guarded
against doctors say there's at
least suggestive evidence that
the toxin-producing powers Of
the bug have gra d ually les
sened during the last so years.
Risk In Vaccine
Within the last quarter-cen-
tury, q vaccine has become
available which can prevent
the rash Of scarlet fever. But It
does not prevent infection by
strep germs. so doctors don't
recommend It's use except In
certain instances for exam
pie. for nurses and interns In
hospitals.
Doctors feel that since pow
erful drug weapons are now
available to treat. and even
prevent, various kinds Of strep
infection, including the scarlet
fever kind, widespread use Of
the vaccine is not indicated.
Besides. there are certain risks
to Its use.
Thus. In the story Of vaccines
against diseases. scarlet fever is
an example Of an ailment
where It's more practical to
treat 1t than to try to prevent
1t with q vaccine.
! Another childhood disease
chicken pox-is so mild In It.
self that there's no crying need
to try TO develop q vaccine.
But the causative virus was
isolated about 10 years ago,
and scientists would like TO de-
velop q vaccine or some other
preventive for this reason2
The chicken pix virus may
lie dormant for decades In an
individual who has recovered
from chicken pox-and tn e n
, occasionally cause q disease
known as shingles.

Angry indians Tount
Menon as q Traitor

Mr.. Menon admitted a po-
litical decision was taken in
Delhi last october to drive the
Chinese out Of Thagla ridge
along midas northeas st e IN
frontier, possibly triggering
China's massive invasion. 1t
was the only proper thing to
do. Mr.. Menon told Parliament.
"Is it for soldiers to decide
when to begin fighting2" he
asked. II hope the Prime Min
lister will not offer any apology
for that and will assert the
supremacy Of civil control over
the Army"
In the uproar that followed
this remark, critics shouted
Are you the public relations
to the Prime Minister" How
can you, who have been found
guilty Of the Meta debacle,
make such q statement
Defends Policy
Earlier, Mr.. Menon said that
as q result Of midas nonalign-
ment policy, China has found
herself isolated in the world to-
day and a number Of countries
are standing in queue to sign
the atomic test-ban treaty.
There is nothing to apollo
gize for In nonalignment, Mr.
Menon said. when 1t is aban-
doned India will start on the
road to perdition.
Mr.. Nehru summed up the II
speeches Of the debate as in
teresting and profitable but Q
little unreal since no alterna-
tive government was offered by

KCHS Begins
 Vacation Time
by Kristi Heath

School is over! The last week of school was one of high-strung ex- citement for everyone. Tuesday and Wednesday were especially days of nervous tension - they were test days at Kenai Central High School.
 The Seniors commencement Wednesday and their graduation dance afterward were the high lights of the entire week.
 Those who received awards and scholarships were: Mike Tauriain- en, Jim Vollentine, Jim Hayes, Ben Blastus Obolla and Charles Jackson, 1862 graduate who re- ceived the Carl Moser Memorial Scholarship. Moon Mullin re- ceived a sweater "K" and a cap tain star for his support of the basketball team.
 Thursday, the schedule was for class only 27 minutes in length to check-in books. Classes were dis missed at lunch time but all stu dents (excepting Seniors, who did not have to attend school the last week. were required to remain on the grounds for the girls track meet. There was good turn out, especially from the Freshmen and Sophomores.
 Friday was the last day of school with classes only long enough to receive grades and pay last-minute fines. The rest of the day and the entire weekend was spent in parties and dances.
 With the summer now awaiting these vacationing students, many are beginning the search for jobs. A few will go to summer school. Ann Fisk is one of these. She was the only student from Kenai Gen. tral High School accepted to at- tend the Summer Science Train ing Program for Secondary School Students at the University of AL aska this summer.

Scottish Businessmen Complain US. Sailors Left Without Paying Bills

HOLY LOCH, Scotland R - A Scottish businessman complained today that American sailors who returned to the United States on a Polaris submarine depot ship, the Proteus, left behind scores of unpaid bills.
 We are annoyed and disillu- stoned at the way the Americans have treated us," said John Stirling, president of the Dunoon Traders Association.
 We welcomed them to our town and extended credit to them because we knew this was the system they followed. Now they have taken away all the good will built up here during their two years stay"
 Dunoon is the biggest town in the immediate area of Holy Loch.
 Holy Loch is a base for the de- pot ships. The depot ship Hunley has replaced the Proteus.
 Before the Proteus left March IS its commander, Capt. Raymond DuBois, announced through news papers that, in case of outstanding debts, merchants should write to him.
 A US. Navy spokesman in Lon- don said: ''This sort of thing is detrimental to the service. w e cannot force man to pay his debts, but he would be well ad- vised to do so."
 Scottish storekeepers are not enthusiastic about giving credit Many of them did it for the first time in their lives to men of the Proteus.

JUNEAU R - Attempts by De- mocrats in the House of Repre- sentatives to get a teachers pay increase bill and a supplemental appropriation bill for Rural De- velopment into the Rules Commit tee fell by the wayside today.
 The teacher pay motion was of- fered by House minority leader John Rader.

Six Weeks Ordeal In Arctic Revives Question How Long Can Man Survive Without Food

The rescue of a plane pilot and his young woman passenger in the northern Canadian wilderness re- wives an old question: How long can man survive without food :? Some of the factors involved ob- viously include physical condition, the will to live, determination, courage and ingenuity.
 Pilot Ralph Flores and 21-year- old Halen Klaben say they lived for week on two cans of fruit and two cans of sardines. Then they ate two tubes of toothpaste. After that, it was melted snow and nothing else - for six long weeks. Flores lost 40 pounds and Miss Klaben 30. But they survived
 Others have lasted as long, or longer, either by choice or through predicament.
 During World War II, ship wrecked sailors and downed air men went for weeks without food or water, or both, while floating on life rafts awaiting rescue.
 Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and seven Servicemen drifted for A days under soaring sun in the Pacific in 1922. The only food was four oranges, a seagull and two fish which they caught All seven were rescued, although an eighth member of the group drank sea water and died.
 In the summer of 1861, William Waters of Erlanger, Ky, became lost in sub-Arctic Alaska wilder ness. He wandered aimlessly for ten weeks, surviving on wild cran- berries and a few raspberries. His weight dwindled from 180 pounds to 90, but he survived.
 Also in 1861, two men in India staged voluntary lasts for 48 days trying to sway the government tt their way of thinking. Both of then survived and one of them was 2 years old.
 The late leader of the Indian in dependence movement, Mohanda Ganghi, lasted for three weeks ol several occasions.
