Secretary Luther Hodge?,
Whose Oepertment of Com

most all the general data on
fcusines* that is gathered by
government, has issued a state
ment indicating that he believes
the economy ft still on the up
grade, and will continue ao for
many, many months. Two items
particularly impress the sec
retary"
First is an increase of corpo
rate profits in the second quar
ter,-The rise amounted to SBOO
million, and it lifted the pre
tax total to 9 hilHon. This
is still S2OO million below the
aggregate in the final three
months of 1961. hut it was gen
erally expected, both within
and without the government,
that the total would show an
other decline. No details of the
increase are yet available, and
h<mce it is impossible to deter
mine how widespread the im
prdvement was. From the r»-
pnets of individual firms, how

some are getting along a little
better from a profit viewpoint,
m*ft» others are finding it im
pdotiN* to make as much as
th^ did a year earlier.
Second is another rise in per
sonal income. The department
release and it rose by SI bil
lion, but the detailed figure*
show it was 9906 million. The
difference, of course, is not too
important. A breakdown of the
total has been issued, and it re

c of social insurance benefits end
veterans* payments, in August
! > amounted to $34.5 billion. This
" i« an increase of $1.5 billion in
' the past twelve months. At pre
' sent 7.8 percent of all personal
1 income in the nation is in t h e
form of these transfer pay-
' ment*.
5 Dividends, which amount to
’ well under one-half the trans
' ter payments, showed a decline
! for the second consecutive
’ month. The totgl is sls 6 bil
lion.
Over two-thirds of persona!
income consists of wage and
1 salary disbursements. Between
July and August there was a
decline in that paid out by man
facturing in the form of wages
and salaries. This is probably
the result of a slightly shorter
work-week, the increase in un
employment, and the change of
models by the automobile in
dustry.
Os especial interest in the
category of wages and salaries
is that paid by government —
federal, state and local. The
total in August was $56.6 bil
lion over August, 1961
Now. the real question is
whether these reports on pro
fits and personal income justify
optimism for the remainder of
this year.
in fairness to Secretary Hod
ges it should be pointed out
that he said merely that they
indicated our economic system
has “bounced back a little from
what it looked like two or three
months ago" and he added that
the performance is not wholly
satisfactory.
When these two releases are
interpreted in that manner it
is most difficult to find any
thing with which to disagree.
But the Secretary gave the im
pression of being highly pleas
ed and convinced that we have
better business ahead for at
least well into 1963.
In our judgment this is read
ing far too much into these two
developments The slight in
crease in corporate profits does
not indicate that, the squeeze
in this area is coming to an
end. Granted, it is better to
have a rise than the anticipated
decline but the improvement
was not large enough to be im
portant.
The personal-income increase
is basically insignificant. That
item normally rises, month af
ter month, except when we are
in a recession.
Whether we shall have a
downturn of business before
the end of the year is still an
open question.

Master Gland Key to Health
Why can some persons
quickly and easily throw
off every infection while
others constantly wage a
losing battle against one
germ after another?
Why do most individuals
react with overwhelming
success to a vaccine, while
it has very little effect on
other persons?
Is there perhaps a master
gland that triggers the immune
reactions?
“Yes, it’s the thymus gland,”
■ay* Dr. Robert A. Good, re
search professor of pediatrics
at the University of Minnesota,
•nd March of Dimes grantee.
Dr. Good recently won the
annual award medal of the
American Society for Experi
mental Pathology, much of his
work being done with National
Foundation financial support.
Dr Good presented new evi
dence greatly strengthening
this theory about the thy mtn
gland in 8 paper he delivered
before the Federation of Amer
ican Societies for Experimental
Biology at Atlantic City.
He detailed the results of
experiments earned out in col
laboration with other scientists
which, he said, provide evi
dence that the thymus is a key
organ is the body’s endless
struggle to protect itself against
harmful substances. The thy
mus is located behind the
breastbone in humans.
Much of Dr. Good's study
was based on observation of
125 patients with agammaglob
ulinemia, a rare disease oc
curring most often in children
whose bodies fail to produce
■gamma globulin, the substance
in the blood which forms anti
bodies to fight off invasion by
germs and other foreign sub
stances.
Further study showed the
association of other diseases
with agammaglobulinemia, in
cluding a high incidence of
rheumatoid arthritis and re
lated diseases; leukemia and
Hodgkin's disease (cancer of
the lymph glands), and other
disabilities ispected to result
from malfunction of the im
mune system.
This led Dr. Good and his
associates to the thymus a* the
important organ of immunity.
The theory was tested by
.♦moving the thymus of rab
bit* 'ms than five days old.

In his Minnaapolis laboratory, Dr. Robert A. Good, March of Dimes
research grantee in arthritis at University of Minnesota School of
Medicine, checks an X-ray film.
They proved later to be un
able to form antibodies in any
way and thug could not throw
off disease.
Secondly, Dr. Good found
that these same animals would
accept akin grafts from other
rabbits. Normally, skin can
be transplanted only between
identical twins. By this means
the doctor was able to show
how the natural barriers to
tissue transplantation can be
knocked down merely by re
moval of the thymus in the
newborn. This phenomenon,
the Minnesota pediatrician be
lieves, has a human parallel,
namely agammaglobulinemia,
where antibodies are uiually
absent. For example, one of
the children with this disease
now under study by Dr. Good’s
group has been carrying an
intact skin graft for more than
seven years—even though the
skin had been taken from a
unrelated donor.
Studies of this sort. Dr. Good
pointed out. have been possible
only during the last decade
since modem treatment has
enabled the survival of chil
dren with immunologic defi
ciency diseases, and new labo
ratory techniques made possible
the accurate analysis of blood
and tissue components.

’ Though only 22 percent of
the nation's 21,000 veterinarians
have exclusively pet practices,
: these specialists earn 45 per
cent (S6O million) of the entire
’ income in the field.
; Why are Americans spending
at a record rate for their pets?
> Says an official of the Ameri
can Veterinary Medical Asso
, ciation:
“People are more knowlede
able about their pets today.
। They know about medical care
. available and want to take ad
. vantage of it. When people
drove Model T's, they made re
pairs themselves; not so today.
, It’s the same with pet owners
s They tend not to try to doctor
; a pet's illness, but go to a vet
, erinarian.”
i The array of medical equip
l ment and services available for

the whole process of immunity
and it* relation to disease,”
Dr. Good *aid. "We now can
see ■ real possibility of learn
ing how to manipulate and
overcome the natural barriers
to transplantation of human
organs, such as the kidney, as
well as other tissues.
“It’s tempting to speculate
that someday we may have
thymus gland banks just as we
now have blood banks and
bon* banks, in order to supplv
thymus tissue* for persons
wnose immune response is be
low par. Thi« may also provide
us with a means of altering an
individuals immunologic pat
tern by implanting foreign thy
mus cell* when the need arises.”
The March of Dimes-sup
ported scientist pointed out that
further studies of animals arti
ficially deprived of the ability
to produce antibodies are ur
gently needed to provide in
sight into rheumatoid arthritis
and other diseases which occur
in patients with agammaglobu
linemia
Fundamental research aimed
at unraveling these disease
mysteries is already under wav
with March of Dimes support
at medical centers throughout
the country, including Dr.
Good’* laboratory.

The Long Trail of Southern Pine
‘This countrey is avergiowne
with pyne.”
These brief but prophetic
words were penned by Captain
John Smith in 1607 while re
porting to his superiors on his
discoveries in the New World.
He sought permission to de
velop the commercial possi
bilities.
From London, came a rebuke
rather than a reward. In no un
certain terms, Captain Smith
was reminded of his basic mis
sion aboard. His expedition had
been sent overseas to search for
gold and silver — not admire
the trees.
Despite this retort. Smith
persisted and on numerous oc
casions. reiterated hi» request.
The following year, his London
headquarters relented. In 1608,
under the Captain’s direction, a
crude sawmill was built near
Jamestown, Virginia, and be
gan turning out rough pine
boards. It was the nation’s first
commercial enterprise. In 1609,
the first shipment of pine
masts and clapboards was re
ceived overseas, and the rest
of the world was thereby in
formed that a new industrial
nation had been born.
These meager beginnings
launched a long industrial trial
that is still winding toward the
construction horizons of t h e
future.
Well aware of the high
strength and durability of Sou
thern Pine, Captain Smith and
his fellow pioneers used it to

builders recognized the species
for its beauty as well as its.
strength. Southern Pine w a *
used extensively in the con
struction of the famous coloni
al homes, many of w hich are
still standing. It also provided
decking and masts for the
fledgling nation’s fighting ships.
Lumbering has been contin
uous ever since. By the early
1900’s, the total yield from
these forests approximated a
trillion feet — enough lumber
, to build 100 million homes.
Some leading economists
thought the source was about
to run dry. They predicted that
the forests of the South and
the industry they nourished
both would be extinct by “1930,
at the very latest.”
At the same time that their
death sentence was pronounc
, ed the “condemned” gave birth
to an idea which assured the
future. Farsighted lumbermen
began to manage their trees
and plan carefully for the fu
• ture.
Next year — 1963 — will re
l present the 50th anniversary of
forest management. The prac
i titioners will have much to
I show for a half century of ef
‘ fort in this vital field.

forests are providing a large

Notwithstanding these indus

growth of Southern Pure saw

! lumber) exceeds removal by
an amazing 30 percent.
Forty-million acres of “tree
farms” are flourishing in th*
modern South, which today, as
yesterday, is “overgrowne with

No end is in sight for t h •

U. S. Forest Service has pre
dicted that the South will even
tually become the main sourcs
of the nation’s total lumber
supply. Further promise for the
