For Polio:
Mon
Americans
Delinquent
The fact that 98 million Ameri
cans still have not taken advantage
of the Salk anri-polio vaccine was
termed a national disgrace by Basil
O’Connor, president of The Nat
ional Foundation in a statement re
leased on the eve of the fourth an
niversary of the licensing of the
vaccine,
April 12th marks the fourth an
niversary of the announcement by
scientists, at Ann Arbor, Michigan,
that the Salk vaccine was “safe, ef
fective and potent" and would pre
vent paralytic polio.
’The existence of this appaling
number of unprotected Americans,
including six million children un
der five years of age—at a time
when there is ample polio vaccine
and the surplus is spoiling on the
shelves—is a poor commentary' on
our intelligence as a people,” the
head of the March of Dimes or
ganization declared.
Mr O'Connor remarked that in
difference to polio vaccination per
sisted today despite the horrifying
example last, year, in the Detroit,
area, where an epidemic struck
down 876 perons, 23 of whom died
In Detroit and in other areas where
polio struck last year, the bulk of
cases were from low income areas
where relatively small portions of
tiie population had secured the an
ti-polio vaccinations So far in 1959
the number of polio cases has ex
ceeded the number for the same
period in 1953. .
Vaccination of both children
and adults must start immediately
if our nation is to ward off polio
disaster next summer," Mr. O’Con
nor said, adding, "There is still
time to get. in two of the three
shots before the polio season is up
on us "

Registered
At Hotel
With Negro
CHICAGO (ANP> A hotel
clerk Thursday admitted killing
a white executive who earlier had
registered at the hotel with a Ne
gro woman He said robbery was
his motive for shooting the man.
The victim was John L. Scott,
b» of Hinsdale, 111 Scott, who was
chief Inspector for the Chicago
division of the Harford Steam
Holier Inspection and Insurance
Co., earned SI,OOO a month.
In police custody is William
Spc-ncer, 36. night clerk of the
Casablanca hotel. Npcncrr fir-1
♦old detectives b? heard luo
shot# then found Scott, dying
oet the floor of his main floor
room, not far from the hole!
desk.
Following a lie-detector tost,
which proved to bo inconclusive,
and a day of questioning, Spencer
confessed to the police. He said;
“After the woman left, I took a
ca.seknife and forced the lock on
Scott's door, he was dressing. I
pulled a .38 revolver and said I
wanted his money. We scuffled
and the gun went off, the bullet
lodging in a wall. I shot him in
the back. I’m sorry, 1 only meant
to rob him.”
GARDEN
TIME
Let's talk about, water, in general,
and then apply its use to the needs
of plants.
You could, perhaps, write the
history of the growth of man in
terms of his great concern about
water. The habits of men have
probably been influenced more by
their r lose association with water
than with the land by which they
earned their bread Like air, water
is so closely bound to man’s evolu
tion that it may well be the limit
ing factor in his destiny
Maybe we can better understand
the need for water in plant growth j
if we examine some figures to see i
how it constitutes the greater put I
of living plants: 90 per cent of the j
edible parts of such vegetables as j
cabbage and spinach; 85 per cent of j
the fruit of the apple and straw'- j
berry: 65 per cent of the green ■
weight of leaves and succulent |
twigs; and 79 per cent of the
weight of roots
It serves as a solvent, for
mineral nutrients that enter the
plant through the roots and
arts aa a. medium through
which substances are trans
ported within the plant tissues.
Approximately .1.999 gallons of
water per tree, is required to
mature a crop of peaches. This
is the amount actually used by
♦he tree and does not Include
water tost by run-off. seepage,
or evaporation from the soli
surface.
Tremendous quantities of water
are lost by transpiration from the
leaf surface. Some plants have
structural adaptations which re
duce water losses These include;
reduction of leaf surface in the
needles of conifers, heavy curio on
the leaves of the jade plant, pube
scent thairy) leaves of the African
violet and modified stems and
leaves on the cactus
How much water to apply? How
often? Only you ran determine
this because so much depends up
on your soil type, the equipment
used, the competition from roots of
shade trees, rainfall, wind and
temperature. A suggestion ot two
may bs helpful
