Infantile Paralysis Hits
Peak In U. S. During 1948
BY MARIA NIKA
The infantile paralysis epidem
ic in 1948 took more victims in
the United States than ever be
fore, according to the estimate of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
The feared disease swept through
the country with such wviolence
that was almost unknown so far
in thé polio history. There were
such. tragic cases like that of the
family in which all the five chil
dren were stricken with polio
and the age of victim ranged from
infancy to advanced maturity.
Previously jcial statistics
considered 1916 tHer highest year
of the country, when 27,363 polio
cases were reported. The statis
ticians, however, remark that in
this year little was known yet'
about the disease; only paralytic
castes were recorded and the fi
nal figures didn’'t include cases
from many states which, at that
time, didn’t report polio to the U,
S. Public Health Service.
Second Worst Year
The second most severe year
prior to 1948, according to the Na
tional Foundation News, was 1946
with 25,698 cases recorded. Last
year’s epidemic, however, sur
mounted any former figures, thus
marking a record year in the his
tory cos infantile paralysis. The
United States Public Health Ser
vice reported a total of 27,032
cases in a survey of the January
4-December 11, 1948 period. Later
information says that these fig
ures cannot be held as final, be
cause the December weekly totals
were, in a five-week period: 669,
651, 524, 440 and 360-—unusually
high for that time of year. Ex
perts and statisticians estimate
the final outcome of the 1948 epi
demic at the total of 27,500.
In the state-by-state break
down California was leading with
5,340 cases, in contrast with only

DR. ELBERT K. FREIT WELL
ganized and directed for eighteen
years the first training course for
camp leaders. in America. He is
an accomplished speaker, has trav
[eled all over America and knows
the Scout organization as few
men know it. Dr. Fretwell is a
native Missourian.
I Presiding at the Council meeting
iwill be J. Smiley Wolfe, Council
Ipresident.
Two outstanding Scout leaders
in the Council will receive Silver
Beaver awards for distinguished
records of service.
l One Troop leader will receive
the Scoutmaster’s Key, highest
training award given by the Boy
Scouts.
At this meeting, expected to be
attended by a capacity crowd of
|235 persons from over the entire
!council, the officers and executive
iboard members for 1949 will be
elected.
‘ The Northeast Georgia Counecil
serves 26 counties, including three
new counties which have recently
transferred into the Council. The
new counties are Walton, Greene,
{and Morgan. The registered coun
'cil' membership is more than 3,000
‘Scouts and leaders.
878 cases in 1947, North Carolina
reported the second highest num
ber. of victims last year with a
total of 2,499, while Texas was the |
third on the list with 1,743 cases. |
New York recorded 1,457 cases.‘
Georgia counted 251 polio victims
last year, that shows a I*e|atively|
great increase compared with the
total of 81 in 1947. Rhode Island
and Nevada reported the smallest
numbers in the epidemic, with 8
and 9 cases, respectively.
The year of 1948 was a record
year not only in the number of
polia victims, but from the finan
¢ial point of view tco. Official re- .
ports stated that more than $17,~
000,000 was spent by the Nation
al Foundation for Infantile Paral
ysis assiting families and commu- |
nities in the 1948 epidemic. Of
this, more than six million doilars
was advanced to chapters facing
exhausting of their funds. The
rest of the money was spent for
direct patient care, equipment for
‘hospitals and clinies and other lo
cal epidemic aid, training expen=-
ses and about $300,000 was in
vested in state pools in area of un
usually high incidence. The epi
demic cost of the year shows
nearly a six million dollar in
crease compaired with total ex
penditure of eleven million in
1947, which was considered a
“light” polio year.

Rent Director Warns
Against “Bonus Payments”
Another warning against ‘“bo
nus payments” or “tie-in-deals”
in the rental of housing accornmo
dations controlled by federal reg
ulations was issued today by Will
ian M. Murray, Area Rent Direc
tor of the Athens Rent Office.
He warned landlords and ten
ants alike that under the present
Housing and Rent Act it is a vio
lation of the federal law for a
landlord to insist that a tenant
buy furniture in order to rent
without prior approval of the
Housing Expediter.
It is a violation of federal law
for a landlord to demand or at
cept more than the maximum rent
by way of cash bouns — or any
kind of the bonus — from a pros
péctive tenant as a condition of
rental,
It is a violation of federal law
for a landlord to charge more
than the maximum legal rent—
or to take ‘“side payment” or an
“under the table” payment in ad
dition to the legal rent;
It is a violation of federal law
for a landlord to evict, or attempt |,
to evict a tenant just because the
ter)ant camplains of overcharges
or veports other violations.

Bigger Feet
Run Faster,
Hosiers Say
By NEA SERVICE
CHICAGO — (NEA) -- The
only thing wrong with ( today’s
nylon stodkings are the feet
American women are trying to
put into them.
That’s what the nation’s hosiery
manufacturer's insist, anyway.
They base their thoughts on a
professional scrutiny of the. na
tion’s feminine: legs — a scrutiny
prompted by’ c¢omplaint firom the
owners of those legs that postwar
nylons were giving women too
much of a run for their mioney.
The postwar stockings aren’t
running any faster at all, the ex
perts claim. What is happening is
that women who before the war
bought 30 denier nylon are now
demanding 15 denier; which is
twice as sheer and is known in
the trade as ‘“cobweb” hose.
Gustav Frankel, president of
one company which conducted
the ankle analysis went so far as
to intimate that women’s feet are
getting bigger.
Their feet have been expanding
ever since they began wearing
open heel-and-toe shoes, it seems
but they still insist on crowding
their tootsies into the old size
stockings. \
| There was no word on whether
‘women are also growing taller,
‘but another expert said the trou
ble was that some women try to
stretch short hose to meet their
garters, instead of the other way
around.

Deadline Near
The deadline for submission of

Young Georgia'
(Continued from Pzse One) l
territory in the winter of 1945-46
when he worked with a group of
resident engineers at the army air |
base at Ladd Field. In the spring
of 1946 he returned for a quarter |
to study geology at Georgia and
has gone back to the territory for!
three months each summer since
then.
Scenic Valley
The fascination of Alaska and
his work there will take Hurstl
back to the territory again in June.
The young geologist has planned
three expeditions for this summer,
beginning with an exploration of a
little known valley in the Brooks
mountain range in the far north.
Here is a scenic spot, that only one
living man has seen and written |
about, reputed to have a gorge
rivaling in beauty any in the fam
ous national parks in the western
United States.
Hurt will have to be flown in
and parachute into the valley, be
ing supplied with food and other
necessities by air the duration of
his stay there. All food and other
'supplies will have to be wrapped |
securely in canvas several times,
coated heavily with black pepper,
and then wrapped in barbed wire
to prevent wolverines from' open
‘ing and destroying the contents. |
- Unfriendly Natives : [
The second trip will begin at the
headwaters of the Cosna River in
the Alaska Range. Prospecting
down that river, Hurst will be ex
posed to rigorous climate and dan
ger from unfriendly natives in the
area.
On the Beaver River, northeast
of Fairbanks, Hurst will explore
and prospect for gold on the for
mer stakes of the early gold rush
pioneers. The last of the three
old prospectors who held onto
their stakes in this section died re
cently, and claims to mining rights
have expired. Hurst believes that
there is valuable ore in this area
and intends to make his modern
geological knowledge succeed
where the cruder efforts of the old
timers failed.

Crawfish Tags |
’Worth A Dollar ’
CORAL GABLES, Fla—(AP)—
Now they’re putting number plates
on lobsters. |
Marine biologists of the Univers
ity of Miami, working with the
Florida state board of conservation,
put “tags” on some 3,000 craw
fish or spiny lobsters, to study
their migratory habits. (The “spiny
lobster” is the type that has no
claws.) :
| The migration study is part of a
general survey of the growth, de
velopment ,distribution and char
acteristics of crawfish. This is all
aimed at conserving proper sup
\plies of them, and at the same time
[assuring lobstermen of good catch
es.
The tag consists of a thin strip
of plastic about two inches long
'and 3-16 inches wide with a barbed
point at one end. The address of
the Uriversity’s Marine Labora
|tory is printed on one side. On the
‘other side, there’s a printed serial
number and this instruction: ‘“Tell
'Where, When and By Whom
Caught.”
' When a lobster is selected as a
participant in the survey, a tag is
inserted between the second and
third rings of its tail, leaving a lit
tle of the tag protruding.
' Certain vital statistics concern
ing the lobster—such as its weight
land size at the time of initial tag
iging, and the date and place—are
|recorded by the scientists.

Baby‘s Rebuilt Tongue
To Let Him Have His Say
By NEA Service
NEWARK, N. J. — (NEA) —
One of these day’s Bruce Thomp
'son’s parents are going to hear
‘their eight-month-old son make a’
lot of noise, and even if it wakes
them up in the middle of the
night, they’ll be as pleased 'asl
any parents can be. |
I The noise will be the first sound
|they’ve heard from Bruce since he,
was born, and it will mean Mr.
land Mrs. Alton Thompson, of Im-|
‘laystown, N. J., can stop worrying
that Bruce will grow up without
a voice in his own life. |
What made it possible was the
surgical skill that rebuilt Bruce’s
‘'backward tongue.
| When he was born, it was dis
covered the baby had a malfor
~med jaw and a cleft palate; the
tongue lapsed backward, shutting
- off normal breathing through the
" windpipe.
X} An immediate life-saving ma
. heuver was performed so that
, Bruce could breathe through a
silver tube with a butterfly valve
1 in his neck.
| - But to cerrect nature’s strange
mistake, the New Jersey Crippled
l Children’s Commission ‘and St.
~ Barnabas Hospital in Newark got
. together. Four lower front teeth
. were extracted before they ever
|saw the light of day. Then the
)tongue was brought forward and
. re-hinged.
