The Greenlease Case . (
'" It has been a long time since the
United States witnessed a kidnaping
case -which matched in horror the as
pects surrounding the recent abduc
tion and death of Bobby Greenlease.
Perhaps no other kidnaping case
since the Lindbergh case, has exceed-
r ed the public's reaction to this one.
As so often happens in such cases,
the kidnaped child became a victim
and the kidnapers lost their gamble.
While it seems that even the stupid
est criminal wonld realize the odds
against him in a kidnaping case, this
is another , instance in which greed
overcame whatever intelligence the
kidnapers possessed. ; .....
The Box Score On Polio
Early this year there was wide
SDread SDeculation on the success
which gamma globulin would score
- against the dreaded disease, polio.
For the first time in the nation's
existence, a serum which immunizes
some children against polio was avail
able.
- Now that the polio season is on the
wane, the experts are going into the
" records and checking the effects of
the first use of gamma globulin. Al
though there have been reports that
the- serum has been a flop, the U. a
Public Health Service has a different
view.
For instance, as the 1953 polio sea-
. son began, cases appeared at about
the same pace as they did in 1952 a
record year. Gamma globulin was put
into use and the cases reported slow
ed. ,
TOTltila lavA la tif nfmvaa Aitfaitiinir
opinions on the effectiveness of gam
ma globulin, some public health offi-
: cers believe the serum prevented 1953
from being a new: high water mark
! for the diseases. They note that gam
ma globulin was first used in July,
in mass immunizations, and that
- shortly afterwards, the number of
cases reported declined.
. , Since at least twice as much gam
ma globulin will be available next
year, it is hoped that the number of
cases of polio will be reduced still
further. There is also a new vaccine,
expected to be ready for initial tests.
Early speculation about this new vac
cine is encouraging and, therefore, the
year 1953 has produced concrete re
sults against the dreaded disease..
A Guy Named Martin
While we do not subscribe to the
theory that the 1953 World Series was
the most thrilling on record, we do
class it as one of the great baseball
classics of all time. Perhaps" the out
standing player in the series was a
fellow who wasn't supposed to star at
all, and who started the first game
of the series in the No. 7 spot of the
Yankee batting order.
.There were manv otpa Mffora nn
both the New s York Yankee and
Brooklyn Dodger teams, but Billy
Martin, N Yankee second baseman, was
not classed among them as the series
began. ,-However, as is so often the
case with baseball, the World Series
produced a new star. Martin was that
- star In the 1953 series, even outshin
ing such performers as the Dodger's
Carl Erskine and the sluggers of both
teams. , v ,
The lad who had followed Joe Di
maggio around for several years,
when Joe was with the Yankees, and
who-didn't figure to wreck the Dodg
ers sino-le-handed. did fast that Ma.

The 1953 North Carolina picked and
threshed peanut crop is estimated at
203,500,000 pounds as of October 1, by
the North Carolina Crop Reporting
Service. A crop of this size, if rea
lized, would be the smallest in 20
years and 85 per cent below the 811,-
550,000 pounds produced last year
A reduction in acreage of , 8 per
cent or 16,000 acres from last year ac
counts for part of this decrease in
production. ' However, a decrease in
yield from 1,550 pounds in 1952 to 1,-
100 pounds this year is primarily re
sponsible for the lower production.
Extremely dry weather during the
maturing season has resulted in low
er yield expectations. However, rains
during the latter part of September
should help the crop in some areas
and digging operations have been de
layed somewhat in order for the crop
to receive maximum benefit from this
moisture. -
