Lifted In Georgia
The Georgia quarantine on in
fantile paralysis which has been
in effect several weeks on visi
tors and travelers coming into
this state from Florida has been
lifted, Dr. Dan Bowdoin. state
epidemiologist, has announced.
“We feel that the incidence of
polio in Florida has declined to
such a point that it is now safe
to remove the quarantine/’ Dr. i
Bowdoin said.
“I don’t think, however, that)
it is safe enough to take children !
into that state,” he added.

squeezed the night before as a time
saver, keep it cold and covered,
remembering that the less air space
there is between juice and contain

will lose little of its most valuable
Vitamin, even if stored for 24 hours. |

Letters to Editor
Dear Editor:
I have been reading with interest
in several trade journals articles
describing how so many of the War
I I] Veterans are leaving their jobs in
industry soon after obtaining them,
especially the automotive, and how
| this is affecting industry. I can
readily see how. Several leading
magazines are featuring articles sim
ilar to this, as well as articles on the
mis-use of the GI Bill aids. Perhaps
a careful analysis of the reasons for
i all this unrest and dissatisfaction
j among the Veterans would benefit us
as a whole.
During their years in the Service
I they lived in Chaos and "Confusion—
Uncertainty reigned, the uncertainty
j even of life or death. Shifted from
I place to place continually, they knew
j no privacy; living without ever the
| sanctity of home or the quiet peace
of solitude. Their every thought was
of, every action toward, the day they
could return home and live in peace
and order.
The war is over but the peace and
quiet can not be found. The world re
mains in turmoil. Those who were
fortunate and made money from the
war are filled with greed and want
more. Labor is dissatisfied, so is
management. Business is a bundle of
confusion, any semblance of certain
ty is lacking
We have celebrated the anniversary
of both VE and VJ days but neither
was a day of exultation or exaltation.
We are haunted by the futility of our
Victory. We are unable to recognize
the victory as either a moral or a
physical one. We are unable to move
forward for the future is hazy and
ws> are unable to determine what is
good and what is not. Our self con
fidence is gone for we do not know
what we do is right.
Yours very truly,
DAN L. GRANT,
Atlanta.

California Termed ' W|
Quake ‘Hot Spot’
j
Scientists Produce Figures to
Prove Claim.
PASADENA, CALIF.—Two scien
tists have produced figures showing
California to be the earthquake
“hot spot” of the United States by
a wide margin.
Conversely, if you live east of the
Rockies, the chances of being tossed
out of bed by a major earth tremor
are fairly remote.
Drs. Beno Gutenberg and Charles
F. Richter of California Institute
of Technology have determined
from records going back 42 years
that California and Nevada have
about 90 per cent of the seismic
activity of the United States.
Together they record about 5,000
quakes a year (1.3 per cent of the
world’s total).
The scientists hasten to add, how
ever, that two-thirds of these are
of the smallest magnitude and only
a few are destructive.
The total does not include the
“swarms of small earthquakes that
always occur as aftershocks follow
ing a major seismic event.”
Their studies currently are high
lighting a campaign, in the midst of
the West’s greatest housing boom,
for quakeproof construction of ma
jor buildings.
The reason Mother Nature is so
unstable in these parts explains
also why Japan and Pacific islands
have so many tremors.
The land areas bordering the Pa
cific are the newest geologically
in the world.
California has two major faults,
or splits in the earth’s crust.
One is the Owens valley trough,
on the east side of Sierra Nevada
range.
The other is the San Andreas
fault, which enters from the Pacific
north of San Francisco, bisects the
state lengthwise and finally crosses
the border into Mexico.
High Cost of Living
Doesn’t Worry Him
STOUGHTON, MASS. Leon
ard A. Whitten, 60, a carpenter,
who estimates his yearly ex
penses at $4OO, is not concerned
about the high cost of living.
Here’s why;
Home? He built the two-room
house he lives in.
Vegetables? He grows them.
Meat? He goes hunting for
that.
Haircuts? He lets it grow.
Electricity and telephone? He
doesn’t have any.
Fuel? He cuts his own wood.
Furthermore, he takes all
summer off.
Moon Worship in Early
Arabia Told by Science
WASHINGTON.—Existence of a
civilization of moon worshippers,
who lived in southern Arabia just
before the Christian era, has been
revealed by Dr. Carleton S. Coon of
Harvard university.
Dr. Coon told of the discovery of
the moon worshippers in a report
published by the Smithsonian insti
tution.
The worshippers composed four
highly civilized kingdoms which
were the principal trading link be
tween the east and the west. But
of what were once “splendid tem
ples and lofty skyscrapers,” Dr.
Coon said, only scattered fragments
remain.
Their moon religion took many
strange forms. Dr. Coon said that
in reconstructing the religion from
ancient inscriptions, it was found
that the people believed “the sun
was a woman, and the moon her
husband—the stars their children,
and of these the most important
was Venus.
“These stars eventually became
angels; people and animals were
the children of the gods,” said
Dr. Coon.
This new discovery opens vast
new fields for archeological explora
tion, the Harvard expert said. An
entire new civilization is now ex
pected to be uncovered in the near
future.
British Stock Up on
Bread on Rationing Eve
LONDON. British housewives
rushed the bread stores and
bakeries on the eve of bread ra
tioning. Stores were completely
sold out of bread and flour.
It was the biggest buying rush
London had ever seen.
The food ministry in a midnight
announcement also added oatmeal,
[ wheat porridges, macaroni, spa
ghetti, pudding and cake mixtures,
pearl barley and a number of other
cereal products to the rationing pro
gram.
Army Air Forces Want to
Fly With Atomic Energy
WASHINGTON.—Army air force*
said that it is working with aircraft
engine companies in a research pro
gram to find out how atomic en
ergy can be used to propel air
planes.
A primary contract to supervise
the work with other companies has
been awarded to the Fairchild En
gine and Airplane corporation of
New York.
