to directions.
i Good sanitation demands the
■ removal of rubbish piles of all
kinds, because they afford protec-
tion for hiding and underground
.breeding. Lumber and firewood
should be piled on racks at least
one foot from the ground—never
! directly on the ground. Insofar as
possible, feed of all kinds should
'be protected.
Corn cribs, granaries, cellars,
homes, warehouses, and other
buildings should be ratproofed to
, keep the rats out. Bulletins which
describe ratproofing methods may
be obtained from the local health
I officer or county agent.
Baiting is the third and most
effective blow in the Spring anti-
rat campaign. Outstanding among
the available poisons is warfarin.
Do you know that in a modern

potency of the poison is consist-

not cause “bait shyness”; rodents?
do not develop a tolerance for war-
farin; it may be purchased as a!
concentrate or as ready-mixed;
bait; and warfarin is relatively;
safe to use. '
In using warfarin bait, it is im-
portant that it be made available
to the rodents at all times. Bait
stations—shallow containers pro-
tected with a board or a wooden i
box—are normally examined and
replenished at least every 48)
hours. A limited number of per-,
manent bait stations may be used!
to kill newcomers and control re-
invasion.

in any case, listen to him and let
him know you share his enthus-
iasm. You might even learn
something yourself. If, shortly
he drops this’ idea and takes up
another one, start over with him,
for he is exploring his own men-

he find himself?

have developed real personality
in your children so that when
the going gets hard for them or
time hangs heavy because of up-
set plans, there will be the world
of reading open to them in their
own collections or in the public
libraries. And they can lift up
their heads and say, “My mind

sarcasm? Does the family listen to
the children’s stories, adventures
and problems; and admire their
drawings, compositions, and col-
lections? Or do you look and lis-
ten hurriedly, and try to escape
with a casual, “That’s fine, dear,”
or a self absorbed, “How inter-
esting”? If you do the latter, you
should not be surprised if they re-
treat into the dream world'' of

Children can learn to enjoy a
good book if someone else en-
joys it with them, talks about it
with them, and listens and an-
swers when they talk and ask
about it. The mechanics of teach-
ing reading may be the teacher’s
job, and guidance of taste, as far
as she is able in her limited time
with the individual pupil, but
the big end of the guidance rests
within the home.

Gamma Globulin
Supply Short
The following message to . pa-
rents concerning the availability
and use of gamma globulin in
the fight against polio has been
released by the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis for
1953 by Mrs. C. G. Goddard,
chairman for Women’s Activities
for the Bastrop Chapter of In-
fantile Paralysis.
Gamma globulin is the part of
human blood that contains dis-
ease fighting antibodies. It has
been used for many years to
combat measles and infectious
hepatitis (jaundice). In 1952,
March of Dimes scientist proved
it to be an effective but tempor-
ary preventative of crippling
caused by polio.
GG is in extremely short sup-
ply. The supply will probably be
used in areas where the greatest
number of cases occur. Most like-
ly public health officers working
with private physicians will ad-
minister the gamma globulin.
The Office of Defense Mobili-
zation (ODM), a government
agency, is solely responsible for
the distribution of the nation’s
supply of gamma globulin through
the state and territorial health
officers. The National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis has
no gamma globulin.
All commercially produced GG
made from blood other than that
donated to the Red Cross, is be-
ing purchased for fhe nation’s
stock pile by the National Foun-
dation at an estimated cost of
$11,000,000 in March of Dimes
funds.
One pint of blood yields just
about the amount needed for an
average GG polio shot. The same
pint furnishes serum albumin for
the treatment of wounded service-
men.

IS YOUR CHILD’S READING
A PROBLEM?
If your Mary and Junior are
showing no interest in reading
beyond the sensational, the gro-
tesque, and often the frightful of
their comic books, it could be
that little else is actually expect-
ed of them. Children are intri-
gued by the humorous, the sen-
sational, the blood and thunder,
and will escape into this excite-
ment type of - reading if their
only encouragement toward some-
thing better is an occasional lec-
ture or even constant nagging.
This will only increase their de-
sire for that escape.
They may have the finest of
minds, but if their own parents
are too hurried and absorbed in
their own affairs, whom can they
talk to about the things they
think? Under schoolroom condi-
