Malaria Control
Without Druaa
Drugs once effective in the
control of malaria are no longer
efficient, according to a Univer-
sity of Michigan medical che-
mist. The fight against this age-
old scourage was made to look
much easier with the discovery
of chemical agents which seem-
fed to offer a long - sought
answer. Now strains of malaria
are developing Immunity to
drugs. This experience la not
new Insect pests which were
so easily and completely eradi-
cated by DDT and other com-
pounds also became resistant.
Chemicals still appear to have
the upper hand in the fight but
control of these enemies of man
is more difficult.
To fight them effectively we
must use some of the methods
which have been neglected for
ations whose Involvements
leave a bad odor politically as
well as morally. The public Is
stunned, disillusioned and dis-
gusted, but nothing is changed.
More would be made of the
Baker case in the forthcoming
national elections if only Bobby
and a few Democrats could be
smeared. The smoke therefore
will get some attention but fight-
ing fire could cause some burns,
even among experienced fire-
men.
Dyes for Wipn
Wigs were the rage fore time
and still command a consider-
able following. Dye makers,
however, are giving the manu-
facturers of artificial head
coverings cause for worry.The
hair-coloring business Is grow-
ing and will soon be In the $100
million - a - year category
the easier approach through
chemicals. Mosquitoes were The dye Industry lq. gqcouraged
controled for years In Clarks- by the prospect that ultimately
vllle by simply denying them
eg.
facilities for breeding. In some
areas drainage problems are
too formidable to completely
control sources of malaria, but
a measure of effectiveness Is
possible in nearly any locality.
Yellow fever, a mosquito -
bourne scourage, was controll-
ed In tropical Panama before
the discovery of drugs to com-
bat the malady Drainage was
the answer.
The Incidence of malaria was
higher In Clarksville for a long,
long time than nearly any other
East Texas community. But this
disease was conquered here,
not by the use of drugs, but
elimination of stagnant water
which could not be drained. The
report therefore that malaria
parasites are developing Im-
munity to drugs should not oc-
casion alarVi locally, since we
know from experience that the
• carriers of the disease can be
kept out of our , community
prosper
every woman will be a custo-
mer and tinting hair as common
as the use of lipsticks. A coIot
to match every ensemble may
therefore be the practice before
long To dye dh not to dye Is
no longer a question with many
women and the number who feel
this way about It Is Increasing
repldly.
Fireman Could
(iet Scorched
Separating the fire and smoke
in the Bobby Baker cpse would
achieve no useful end unless the
circumstances giving rise to the
operations In which the former,
Senate employe Is alleged to
have engaged are altered Con-
flicts -of - Interest regulations
are peculiar for failure to deal
with areas of public service
where both logic and fair play
would require their application.
Recent efforts to establish rules
of conduct for national lawmak-
ers calling for disclosure of
private business connections
failed to get anywhere. So long
as a situation prevails In which
one group of government
employes must abide by rigid
restrictions with regard to out-
side Interests while another Is
unrestrained, scandals quite
often reveal entanglements with
persona
