Crazy Stuff BY GOODWIN The day after new neighbors neigh-bors moved in, Little Alice spied two children enjoying themselves by running naked nak-ed through a lawn sprinkler. That night she told her Dad that she had two new playmates play-mates next door. "What are they, boys or girls?" asked Dad. "I don't know I couldn't tell," Alice replied. "They didn't have any clothes on." A little girl went into Lar-sen's Lar-sen's the other day and asked ask-ed for a roll of bathroom tissue, the purchase to be charged.

June through September is the season when infantile paralysis generally is on the upswing in the United States. The National Foundation for Infantile Para. lysisi has compiled the following suggestions which will be helpful to residents of areas where poliomyelitis polio-myelitis is on the march. 1. During an outbreak of infantile in-fantile paralysis be alert to any early signs of illness or changes in normal state of health, especially espec-ially in children. Do not assume that a stomach upset with vomiting, vomit-ing, constipation, diarrhea, severe headache or signs of a cold and fever are of no importance. These may be among the first symptoms or lniantile paralysis. All children chil-dren and adults sick with unexplained unex-plained fever be put to bed and isolated pending medical diagnosis. diag-nosis. 2. Don't delay calling a physician. phy-sician. Expert medical care given giv-en early may prevent many of the crippling deformities. Proper care from the onset may mean the difference between a life of crippling crip-pling and normal recovery. 3. Today there is no known prevention or protection against infantile paralysis. All that can be done is to provide the best possible care. Your doctor, your health officer and your local Chapter of The National Foundation Founda-tion for Infantile Paralysis can and will do everything in their power to see to it that your community com-munity is ready to meet an epidemic. epi-demic. 4. Observe these simple precautions: pre-cautions: ,(a) Avoid overtiring and extreme ex-treme fatigue from strenuous exercise. ex-ercise. (b) Avoid sudden chilling such as would come from a plunge in to extremely cold water on a very not day. (c) Pay careful attention, to personal cleanliness, such as thorough hand washing before eating. Hygienic habits should always be observed. (d) If possible avoid tonsil and adenoid operations during epidemics. Careful study has shown that such operations, when done during an epidemic, tend to increase the danger of contract ing infantile paralysis in its most serious form. (e) Use the purest milk and water you can. Keep flies away from food. While the exact means of spread of he disease is not known, contaminated water and milk are always dangerous and flies have repeatedly been shown to carry the infantile paralysis virus. (f ) Do not swim in polluted water. (g) Maintain community sani tation at a high level at all times. (h) Avoid all unnecessary con tact with persons with any ill ness suspicious of infantile para, lysis. 5. Don't become hysterical if cases ao occur in your neighbor hood. While infantile paralysis 13 communicable or catching dur ing any outbreak, there are many wno nave such a slight infection that there are few or no symp. toms. This large number of un recognized infections is one of the reasons there is no practical way of preventmg the spread of the disease. But it is also reassuring reas-suring to know that, of the many persons who become infected, few develop serious illness and that with good care, the majority who are stricken will make a satisf ac tory recovery. Remember that although this is a frightful disease, di-sease, needless fear and panic only cause more trouble. 6. Attempts to stop the spread of the virus by closing places where people congregate have been uniformly unsuccessful. The resulting disturbance to community commu-nity life is a disadvantage." Today there is no way by which the spread of infantile paralysis can be completely stopped. 7. There s no known cure for infantile paralysis. Goods medical medi-cal care will prevent or correct some deformities. But in about every fourth or fifth case there will be permanent paralysis that cannot be overcome. Do not believe be-lieve those who for one reason or another promise to cure these cases. Be guided by sound medical medi-cal advice if polio does strike in your family. 8. In almost all the counties of the United States there are local Chapters of The National Foundation for Infantile Para-! lysis prepared to help health officers, of-ficers, doctors, nurses, hospitals and patients in every way possi- PROPELLERS OF DELICATELY i - IS Thelma King play "drop the handkerchief" with a B-29 propeller.

He also received a letter from General H. H. Arnold, command ing general, Army Air Forces from which the following paragraph para-graph is quoted: "He was graduated from the advanced Flying School at Moore Field with a commendable record. He rapidly developed into an able officer, largely due to a strength of purpose and a diligent appli cation to duty. Possessing many fine qualities that made him a credit to the service, he faithfully faith-fully did his share as a pilot in the Army Air Forces, and he Is sadly missed by his comrades In this organization." During the week Mr. Smith also received Victor's personal belongings, belong-ings, including his uniform, let ters, papers, and many souvenirs from the various countries which were visited on his trip overseas. Among the important items was Victor's diary which contains a description of his trip, the dates and hours of his departure for each combat mission, of which there were more than 25, and much other interesting informa tion. He left Morrison Field February 27, 1943, stopping at Puerto Rico, Trinidad Island, Brazil. He cross ed the north Africa and Arabia, and reached India March 22, 1943. He passed over several convoys during his flight and was attacked attack-ed by Zeros on two occasions. He was killed over the Chitta- gong mountains which form the boundary - between - India and Burma. -, At the request of Mr. Smith, a tribute to Victor, written by Mrs. Junius Banks is printed herewith. A Tribute to Victor Smith And what Is the price of our Liberty? This God-given heritage we hold; Can freedom be purchased with paltry gold? No! The rich red blood of the soldier bold Preserves it for you and for me. Victor was a bold, a courageous lad, Filled with the zeal to do and to dare, To pilot a plane way over there, And fight unselfishly to share This freedom with sister and dad. War's challenge he met with a buoyant hope, And guided his plane o'er the Burma wood. With unflinching hand, for he understood The joy that human brotherhood Can bring to those who in ignorance ignor-ance grope. It Is hard, Indeed, to understand under-stand Why one so promising, so bright, So full of hope and love and might, So zealous for the cause of right, Should missing be in a jungle-land. jungle-land. We hope hell return to those he loves; But perchance he's asked his all to place As a sacrifice in freedom's race. He's name the honor roll will grace, Both here and in heaven above. May God help his loved ones to understand That He has a need for such as he 'The Lehi Stake Cannery Is Doing CUSTOM CANNING Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays The Produce you bring will fill the cans you get.

Such was the. declaration of Benjamin F. Fairless, president of the U. S. Steel corporation, at a press conference in Salt Lake City Wednesday following a visit to the Geneva plant. The top man of U. S. Steel Corp. dispelled any idea that hl3 company wanted to eliminate the Geneva plant by purchase and moving. The recent hearing of a senate committee in San Francisco Fran-cisco brought out the thought of removal of the Geneva plant and, it was the result of a direct ques-eion ques-eion on this point put to Mr. Fairless that brought his comment. com-ment. "Where would we move it?" he asked. "We might have some plants back east that we want to move. The idea that we would want to buy Geneva and move It away Is pure bunk." In a direct statement on the future of Geneva Mr. Fairless had the following to say: "While today the plant Is government-owned and it is not for us to say what should be its disposition dis-position or use after the war, so much greater would be our interest, inter-est, if subsequent developments should make it possible for us to participate in such a constructive postwar development." "When the postwar period arrives ar-rives and we can determine what future requirements are going to be, and if the property fits into our scheme, we will be interested in the plant." 52nd Wedding Anniversary Observed Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Hyrum J.
