NEW HOPE
SEEN IN WAR
AGAINST POLIO
The conquest of infantile par-
alysis is now within sight, Al-
ton L. Blakeslee, noted science
writer, predicts in a pamphlet
published today by the Public
Affairs Committee, Inc., of New
York.
“No one can predict just when
the victory will come, or in what
way,” he adds, “but medical
science is making such progress
that there is real cause for
optimism”.
Such striking progress has
been made in treatment during
the past ten years that only
about 15 to 25 per cent of polio
victims are now “left more or
less severely handicapped .
Forty to 60 per cent of the
children or adults who get the
illness in recognizable form will
recover completely, or almost
completely, without any visible
evidence or paralysis.”
Scientific study of means for
preventing the disease has been
slower, Mr. Blakeslee admits in
the 20-cent pamphlet POLIO
CAN BE CONQUERED, but he
lists a number of recent de-
velopments that appear to carry
great promise. Monkeys have
been inoculated against polio
safely and effectively, he points
out. Unfortunately, the vaccine
does not protect the monkeys
against all strains of the virus
and thus could not offer satis-
factory protection for humans.
Top scientists are cited as be-
lieving that a safe vaccine for
humans will someday be found.
The recent success of scientists
in almost completely purifying
one kind of polio virus should
hasten this day, Mr. Blakeslee
declares.
“Drugs and other chemicals
have been found,” he reveals,
which “protect mice against
viruses like the polio virus,
or which help the mice re-
cover when they are given the
viruses.” So far, however, none
has been used successfully on
humans.
Although little is known about
the way in which polio spreads,
the pamphlet carries a number
of tips for parents in the event
that infantile paralysis breaks
out in epidemic form in their
neighborhood. Parents are urg-
ed to:
1. Watch for the symptoms
that may be weathervanes of
polio: a tired feeling, headache,
nausea, upset stomach, pains or
stiffness in the muscles, or a
fever. A big part of the victory
in polio is immediate rest and
immediate treatment.
2. Avoid crowds. There is no
way of telling who has the
virus, who is becoming sick, or
Texas Called Most
Air Conditioned
Place In World
Texas is the most completely
air-conditioned region in the
world, John E. Haines, vice
president of Minneapolis-Honey-
well Regulator Company, has
concluded after a study of con-
struction activity in the state.
Mr. Haines, who began the
survey after addressing the
South Texas chapter, American
Society of Heating and Venti-
lating Engineers, in Houston,
said that every sizable city
in the state was far ahead of
comparable places in other sec-
tions of the country. Orders
for air-conditioning equipment
in Texas the first three months
for this year increased 50 per
cent over the corresponding
quarter of 1948, he said.
“Texans have learned that
summer air conditioning is not
a luxury, but a business neces-
sity,” Mr. Haines said. “In ad-
dition, many colleges and
schools are installing air con-
ditioning for the comfort, health
and mental alertness of stu-
dents.”
Aihong the outstanding pro
jects containing Honeywell auto-
matic controls which Mr. Haines
reviewed are located as follows:

versity of Texas; Galveston-

3. Keep children from becom-
ing overtired or chilled.
4. Do not let children swim in
polluted waters. Attacks of polio
have followed after such ex-
periences.
5. Keep clean. Make sure that
the children wash their hands
before eating.
6. Keep garbage covered and
screen the house against flies.
