1949 SEEN AS
WORST POLIO YEAR
IN U. S. HISTORY
NEW YORK.—The polio epidemic
may not have reached even the half
way point yet, and 1949 is certain
to be the worst polio year in U. S.
history, says the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis.
The score on the basis of the
Foundation’s latest reports:
17,306 cases so far in 1949.
2,422 new cases reported in the
nation last week—the highest num
ber ever reported in one week.
The total of reported cases through
last week compared with 9,743 for
the same period in 1948, the second
worst polio year up to that time.
In 1916, which had ranked as the
worst epidemic year, there were
about 30,000 reported cases.
The figures and prediction were
issued Friday by Dr. Hart E. Van
Riper, the Foundation’s medical di
rector, who said:
"Study of previous patterns of
pOlio incidence shows that the peak
may come anywhere between mid-
August and mid-September. But the
mid-point of the epidemic has never
occurred before the second week in
September.
"If the peak is reached early, the
reduction in cases is slower than if
it comes later. When the peak is
reached late, the number of new
cases reported rapidly.”
This year has been marked by an
increased polio total to date, as com
pared with 1948, in 38 states.

Greatest Call
For New Workers
In Accountancy
NEW YORK.—The honeymoon in
job placement is over, and the
“boys are actually letting the em
ployers interview them,” says Rob
ert F. Moore, director of place
ment, Columbia university.
Job placements, Moore reports,
are a little better than the last nor
mal year, 1939-40. The greatest de
mand seems to be in accountancy.
Salaries range from $225 to 450 a
month, depending upon the profes
sion and the educational qualifica
tions of the student.
Each year Moore conducts a
career clinic at Columbia. For
eight weeks college students hear
leading industrial, management,
personnel and professional figures
get down to cases in advising which
job to seek, what to study to pre
pare for a career, where to look
for a job and how to get a job.
These clinics have proved so
successful, says Moore, he has
written a book, “How to Blueprint
Your Success,” which probably
will be the basis of a credit course
he plans to offer at Columbia. Only
one other university in the country
—lndiana—offers such a course for
credit.
Should Study Alms
Here’s what Moore tells the boys
In his career clinics: Ask yourself:
“What am I? What do I want?
■Where do I fit?”
Most people fail in a job, he says,
not for lack of skill, but for failure
to possess such personal qualities
as the ability to express oneself
orally and in writing; ability to get
along with people; patience in at
taining job goals; perseverance;
alert minds, not necessarily Phi
Beta Kappa, but more than merely
willing to bet by; proper attitudes
and mobility.
The interview is the first impor
tant step in getting a job. It’s a
50-50 proposition. The employer
finds what you have to sell that he
cam use. The interviewee discovers
whether the company offers op
portunities to satisfy his aims, in
terests and qualifications.
Certain Qualities
The employer wants to know
about such personal qualities as
appearance, manners, grooming,
ethical make-up and how well you
meet and impress people.
You want to know if the job gives
you an opportunity to make the best
use of your qualifications; whether
it is a worthwhile investment in
terms of selling your services,
loyalty and the best hours of your
life. What are the drawbacks and
disadvantages of this job?
Moore offers some practical tips
on how to get ready for an inter
view. He tells the boys to learn
something about the job and the
company. This calls for self
analysis of your objectives, aims
and interests.
Illusions Shown as Normal,
Ofttimes Are Lots of Fun
PHILADELPHIA, PA.—lf you
ih.nk you’re seeing things, you’re
normal. If you don’t, you’re not.
That is the state of affairs at
Franklin institute here.
The institute put on the largest
collection of illusions on earth to
pnve that illusions are normal, and
fun. •
Tnere was an uphill goldfish bowl,
a room that tilted the rest of the
world crazily, a stationary automo
bile that moved and roses that were
there, only weren’t. Or you could
watch a talking head—with no body
to support it—or a motionless flag
appearing to wave.
Psychologists estimate that 20
per cent of the population is illusion
blind and can’t recognize them. If
one sees an illusion it proves nor
malcy.
It’s time to worry when one
doesn’t see them.
The illusions at the institute were
baffling, until they were explained.
It was puzzling to pass your hand
through a pot of roses and never
touch a rose. They weren’t in the
pot. They were behind it. It was
ridiculously easy to understand,
once it was explained. Mirrors. '
The same explanation discolsed
the secret of the talking head, the
trick seen at nearly every sideshow.
The body belonging to the head was
cleverly concealed in a glass case.
Elderly Ladies Hitch-Kike
Distance of 1,616 Miles
MOBILE, ALA.—A Canadian
mother and grandmother, both in
their 50's, completed a 1,616-mile
trip that cost them only $11.75.
The sisters made the entire trip
from Ottawa to Mobile by thumb
ing it, thereby fulfilling a lifelong
ambition to take a hitchhiking trip.
The two, Mrs. Hattie E. Thomp
son, 54, and Mrs. Pearl Empey, 52,
live in Ottawa. They came to near
by Theodore to visit a brother,
W. W. Mackie, whom they hadn’t
seen in 47 years. Mrs. Thompson
has five grandchildren.
“Everyone was very nice to us,”
they said, "and nothing eventual
happened.”
Altogether they caught 43 rides,
one of them on a truck in Penn
sylvania. The longest ride was 346
miles from Rogersville, Tenn., tl
Birmingham.
They covered the entire distance
in five days.

What Is Justice?
Lesson for September 4, 1949
EVERYBODY is in favor of jus
tice but not everybody knows
what justice is. Justice is more
fundamental than democracy. If
we believe that democracy is the
best form of government, it is only
because we believe that justice can
be better secured in this way than
in any other.
• • •
Justice is as old as God
Since for at least 3,000 years his
torians, politicians, philosophers
and theolo gia n s
have been wrang
ling over the mean
ing of justice, you
won’t learn the last
word about it mere
ly by studying one
Sunday school les
son. But this is the
place to remind
ourselves that jus
tice as an ideal,
and democracy as
■ *
Dr. Foreman
a means of reaching that ideal,
were not born yesterday.
Labor Day .will recall the
great services rendered to de
mocracy by the organized
workers of the world, for ex
ample, hi the push they have
given to free and universal ed
ucation. But democracy is older
than the labor movement, Is
older than July 4, 1776, Is older
than the Magna Charta, is old
er than the Roman empire, In
which one of many mottoes was
‘‘Let justice be done even if
the sky eaves in!”
Justice and democracy go back
to the ancient Hebrews, the people
who wrote the Old Testament. It
was written in their laws, preached
by their prophets, sung in their
Psalms. But of course they did not
invent it. They proclaimed it; but
justice is older than the human
race. The whole Bible and not only
the Old Testament teaches that jus
tice is rooted in the nature of God
himself. No unjust person can bo
called godly.
Songs of Justice
Psalms for this week give
us some valuable light on what
justice is. Some people think that
if everybody were rich, that would
be justice. Psalm 49 shows how
foolish that notion is. It says in al
most so many words, “Yod can’t
take it with you.”
Riches do not spell happiness.
Making everybody rich might
mean making many people
miserable. Money by itself does
not cure the ills of life, it may
make them worse or even
create new ones. Many a fam
ily in the “upper brackets” has
troubles that would vanish if
they had less money. *
Psalms 72 and 82 give us more
positive suggestions. Psalm 72 sees
it as the king’s main duty to judge
the people with righteousness and
justice. The king was the govern
ment, in those days; he was the
executive and the legislative and
the judicial branch of government
all-''rolled into one. In modern
terms, the business of government
is something more than furnishing
police to lock up and punish wrongs
after they have been done.
The welfare of the people is the
concern of government. When pub
lic officials take any other view of
their job, they are off the beam.
In a democracy, the government is
the people, that is to say, ourselves.
If things are bad we are to blame
for it; if they are going to be any
better, we shall have to work for
it. Every appeal to a king, in the
Old Testament, when translated
into terms of a democratic coun
try, means an appeal to the peo
ple.
* • •
The Little People
JUSTICE always has to be con
cerned with the little v people. It
was true in the simple little world
of the ancient Hebrews, it is just
as true in our global complex
world, that the strong will always
exploit the weak if there is not a
hand to stop them.
God is always for the “poor,”
the “children of the needy.”
and he is always against the
“oppressor.” In ancient Israel
the oppressor was usually the
big land-owner who treated his
slaves with cruelty or under
paid his workers. Nowadays
the oppressor is any exploiter,
any man or group of men who
wiil use power to squeeze out
or crush down the little man.
But justice is positive, not nega
tive, prevention and not cure only.
Concern for social justice includes
taking care of people laid low by
an epidemic or made homeless by
fires: but it goes far beyond this.
It will mean working for conditions
such that no one will be forced to
live in unsanitary firetraps. <
