Records Show Polio Biggest Child Crippler More children are permanently crippled by infantile paralysis than by any other disease or by acci dents, it is indicated by figures of the NaUonal Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Based on a study made In New York City in 1944, the figures show that infantile paralysis was first among the causes of children's de formities. accounting for 22 per cent. Cerebral palsy, with 10 per cent, and congenital clubfoot and scoliosis, with 8 per cent each, were next in order. Accidents accounted for 8 per cent Among infectious dis eases alone, the figures show, in fantile paralysis Is responsible for 64 per cent of orthopedic deformi ties among children, nearly twice all others combined. A major epidemic of poliomyeli tis, the survey shows, has hit one or more of the 48 states each year since 1916, excepting 1938. There is no way to predict where epidem ics will occur, but the disease rare ly strikes the same community heav ily in two successive years. New York, for example, jumped from 692 cases in 1943 to 6,202 in 1944, while California, in the same period, dropped from 2,889 to 488. or of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm j Franklin Helms, to Junius Holt \ harden, lieutenant, USNR, Sun- , lay afternoon, April 28, at four , )'clock, in the First Baptist :hurch, Jonesho.-o, were Mrs. P. , i.

Ample Cut Gprments Allow for Child's Growth Mothers making clothes for fast growing vouni iters often ask how to allow for the extra inches that may come before the garment is worn out The tv i way. say clothing specialists of t' e department of agriculture, is to rh.?"se a pattern in which the des yn depends on ample cut ? such as , ne with front and back fiiltoc*, H n- ek and loose sleeves. Then allow for expan sion in hems a;,ii other features where it can be done without spoil ing the fit or looks of the garment. Never simply make a garment too big and let the child grow up to it, say the specialists. Clothes that are too large can be just as uncomfort able as those that are too small. But luckily, the same special fea tures that make j p..: incnt hard to outgrow will te comfortable for the child and all'-v room for free activity. Pleats or gathers across the front and back oi a hilie girl's dress give room for growth and plenty of action. A low-cut neckline allows for growth, and will not pull back and choke nor cause the child's head to thrust forward. Kaglan sleeves are excellent, because they do not lim it the stretch of the arm or the width across the chest. Also, they will not tear out at the underarm when the youngster climbs a tree or swings on playground bar or tra peze. Two Types of Ice Found in the Sea Two types of ice are found in the sea ? regular sea ice frozen from sea water, and icebergs which are broken-oft pieces of glaciers formed from fresh water. In general, sea ice is broken up by winds and currents and is called drift ice; while drift ice that has been jammed together by the wind and forms a more or less continu ous cover of rugged ice is known as pack ice. Explorers have found that when the summer sun melts the up per portions of sea ice. the water can be used for drinking and cook ing; and that sea ice which has sur vived an Arctic summer is free of salt. Icebergs in the Antarctic in gen eral are flat and may be as much as 50 miles long and from 10 to 20 miles wide, rising as much as 250 fret out of the water Both float ing sea ice and icebergs discovered in shipping lanes are reported and their courses charted. One iceberg in the year ISM was found as far south as Bermuda.
