Vaccine Results The results of the Salk anti- Q; polio vaccine, announced in Stock- .-' holm last week by the World Health Organization, are. admittedly, of a tentative nature. Nevertheless, they

wmiouf workers. It is, of course, possible that the savage tribe will welcome the Americans and their bulldozers, glad to be in the march of progress. No doubt, the contrac- tors are hoping that it will turn out that way and are keeping their fingers crossed. It is a risky ven- ture, though, to say the best of it.

Facts Are Facts

It is difficult for anyone at this distance to understand the reasons for the current furore in the United Nations over the applications of 18 countries for membership in the Assembly. The United States seems irrevocably committed to keeping Outer Mongolia out by any measure short of the veto. The Soviet Union. on the other hand. appears deter- mined to let, Outer Mongolia in, or, if that be not possible. to veto the application of all those countries

appear to indicate that the vaccine is at least as effective as anyone l expected it to be, in some instances l more so. Certainly, they justify con- tinued use of the preparation on an increasing scale. - Following are some of the par- ticulars released by the report: In New York State the incidence rates of paralysis for vaccinated child- ren were 4 in 100000 population; for the unvaccinated group they rose to 21. In Minnesota paralysis occurred in 2.7 in 1000,00() vaccin- ated as against 30.1 for unvaccin- ated. Canada's showing, too, is en- couraging. A 4-Province survey in- dicated that 1.07 in 100,000 vaccin- ated contracted paralytic polio. while the figures among the unvac- cinated came to 5.39.

In Denmark and West Germany no paralytic cases were reported among vaccinated children. How- over, only 425,000 Danes were given the treatment. compared with 860,- 000 Canadians: while in Germany only 100,000 vaccinations were giv- en. South Africa and France had good results from their respective vaccines which are similar to but not identical with the Salk formula. No paralysis was reported among vaccinated children in the former country and only a few polio cases. In the latter country, where the experiment was tried on a relative- ly small and selected group, p01l0 did not appear at all-among the vaccinated, that is.

Allin all, the figures give a good report for Salk vaccine. This coming year, it is expected, the re- port will be better still.

Risky Venture

Highway engineers and builders who grumble about the hardship5 they encounter in extending roads ithmugh gcanadian wilderness - heat, mosquitos, heavy rains, pro- longed droughts, and a few other inconveniences-should be comfort- ed by a report from Cosa Rica "which tells about certain real dang- era that face American contractors and their crews who are gettlniz ready to build a road that will con- mm, Costa Rica with Panama for the first time. For the greater part of the way the road will follow ii thick jungle route.

First, there are the tigffsv mo"? adept than are American road mak- er: in the ways of the jungle. and almost certain t.o resent large Scale human invasion of their ancestral llrcscrvcs. They lZI'0W 35 muchp 35 15 feet. long and are V9l'.V QUIC-kt tempered. Then, there are deadly snakes, which are even more at gressive in their habits than the tigers. and more stealthy, if that be possible. But, the worst hazard of all comes from a tribe of head- hunters whose poison arrows can kill a tiger-or a man--in less than one minute. No one knows yet just how they will react to the road- bullding program, but they 3" "m an over-friendly lot at the best of times. It is not unusual for white explorers to disappear myst.erious- ly at the edge of the jungle; and some observers of the region Pill the dlaappearances down to head- hunters on the prowl for souvenirs to display to their friends and neighbours.

' Another difficulty facing the American: is due to I clause in the contract vdilch say: that, when- , . over possible, native labourers must . Jae nmpioyui. While the I my em-

supported by the i'nited States. If one may judge from the news re- ports. Caiindals chict delegate. the i lion. Paul Martin, is following the role of common sciise in recom- l mending admission of the whole 18 in order, HS he put it. "iii:-it the U.N. i may reflect the rcal world, not a political world of our contriving.” Of the 1R countrics on the wait- ing list, 8 can be said to be defin- itely pro-Wcsicrn in their political predilections; 5 are mcmbers of the Communist bloc; and 5 are on the fence, as it were, though probably a little to thc right of ccntrc. It would appcnr. llicrciorc, that ac- ceptance of lllr. Martin's package would mean very little advantage for either sidc in the present con- test of power politics. at least from the standpoint of voting strength. In any event. as Mr. Martin has pointed out several times lately, it is useless for either side to try and make the U. N. over in the imagc . of its own political likciicss. Some of the facts of the present. world situation are vcry unplcasant, and Soviet Communism is the most un- pleasant fact of all; but there is no escaping them. The world will have to live with them for a long time to come, regardless of what countries are or are not admitted to the U.N.

BLOOD DONORS NEEDED

5ll'.-- With Blood Donor Clinics being held this week. the time is opportune to point out to all our citizens the outstanding value of this free Red Cross service and the dire necessity of everyone in good health and between the aces of eighteen and sixty-five being. among the 2,000 donors required this week.

Every day we doctors call on this service on a 24 hour basis. In many cases we require not just one bottle of blood but many for one patient. Recently one of our cases required eight transfusions. Many operations just could not be sucessfully performed without the guarantee of an adequate supply of blood.

Patients in our Island hospitals require on an average of 250 hot- ties per month and I understand that, at the present time, Prince Edward island is in debt by over 500 bottles. The 2,000 donors being sought this week at five centres throughout the province are requir- ed to pay off our debt of 500 bottles and provide a credit of 1,500 bot- tles to do for the next six months since no further clinics can be held until early next June.

I would therefore urge all who can to report as donors at one of the clinic: this week.

SPENDING CHRISTMAS

Sir, - Every year at this time our thoughts are all about Christ- mas. We are planning for that big event that comes Once a year? and despit all this planning and gel- ting ready how many of us will spend the time as planned? Let us stop right short and look back into limbo of our past Christmas days and see how we spent them. and from that backward look we tan draw our course for this year, the year that for many of us will be the last.

Will we spend it with our families by the home fireside and hear the laughter of little children around the Christmas tree. or will we spend it in jail and bear the screams of others in a drunken state In another cell? We can plan it now. True, some will be over- taken with sickness and accidents and spend the time in hospitals through no fault of their own.

Others, we regret. will spend it in cold prison cells paying for their mistake in the past. They look :- head to another day, when they will be at home again, but you and I who are free to plan our Christmas let us get ready for the happy time. let us prepare to spend it with our families. We can enjoy life to the full; we don't have to be rich to do this. Think now how nice It will be if we can swing the gate of the jail open and leave it open and the police have no free rider: in their wagon, no drinking and fights In the homes. If our homes were a hell last year let it be a heaven this time. There are so many who were here last year that will look back this year from Eternity into a world they left so quickly. Now is the time, I! we stand at the crossroads, to prepare.

Seeking Zoological Frdiki

V By J. C. Gi-diam Canadian Press. Wellington. N. Z.

An expedition will set out from l Wellington this month in search of a ”zouIogical improbability"-a sea creature so strange that science has no record of it. either alive or in fossils.

Yet one man has caught several of these creatures and has been able to supply such acurate de- tails of them that scientists have no doubt they exist-a fish that does not remotely resemble any species ever recorded.

Somewhere in the black depths of the 30.000-foot-deep Kermadec Trench. off the east coast of New Zealand. there lurks a sea f with a jet black skin like the tex- ture of shark skin. It has numer- ous crescent-shaped dorsal fins. whereas no living shark has more than one. and no fossilized speci- men mure than two.

SEVERAL GILIS

It has several gills. a spoon- shaped snout and a mouth on top of its head.

The only man in history who has ever seen this creature is G. Da- vis, a commercial fisherman. who as a hobby put down set lines into the ocean depths to see what strange fish he might catch. Using 3.000 feet of line off the east coast of New Zealand. he caught several great fish with many dorsal fins. but he never brought a specimen back.

He cut most of them up for bait. Once he cut one up and sold the flesh to a wholesaler as "Chinese ling." the nearest description he could think of. There was no subse- quent complaint, so the fish is ap- parently edible, but the' people who ate it little thought they were con- suming something unknown to science.

Only a few years ago ocean sur- veys disclosed the existence of a great ocean canyon or trench off the coast of New Zealand. It is one of the deepest ocean depths within easy reach of land and scientists of Victoria University College. Wel- lington. began plans tmprobe into it in search of new species.

TRIP PLANNED

One plan hi to set and ball a mammoth ”mouse lap" at ex- Ircmi-. depth. It is believed. that the giant squid, a creature with plate-sized eyes and tentacles 25 feet long. lives in this canyon. as the strong tides which sweep out of it have cast remains 'of squid on the New Zcaland coast.

Word of these activities aroused the inicrcsi of Davis. who realized for the first time that his casual dcep-soap fishing had been over part of the hermadec Trench. II it In called. He also realized that some nf his catches might have been un- known. species.

Davis forwarded details of his catches to the scientists in Well- "lfilon and also contributed practi- cal ideas on methods of catching creatures at extreme depths. Hi: detailed description of "the mom- ter of the l(ermadec" at once aroused the interest of scientists.

ill: catch one of these things

it will make world news." said Prof. L. R. Richardson, head of the zoology department at Vic- toria University College and for- merly a lecturer at MCGlll Uni- versity. Montreal. He said there is every reason to believe Davls' in- formation is acurate.

DANGER SIGNAIJ

Cancer can ocur in any P311 of your body. bit it is more likeLY to be found in certain lites. If you know where to look for it and can .ecogni the danger nlgnall. you are more apt to detect it in time to save your life.

Women tend to develop cancer in certain parts of their bodies and men in other parts. Just why this is so we don't know, but it might be due to differences in habit: and occupations.

Women more frequmtly 09' velop cancer of their reproductive organs and breasts. Unmarried women are more likely to have cancer of the breast. It's believed that nursing a child reduces the chances of breast cancer.

On the other hand, married wom- en who have borne children have a greater chance of getting cancer of the womb. If you have given birth to a child, you must be sure that no minor injury to the birth canal goes uncured for.

It Is important that women learn how to examine thg breasts for cancer. The American Cancer Society has an excellent motion picture showing how this can enl- ily be done. 1 suggest you con- tact the society in your area and arrange to view the film.

It is also important that you avoid uncomfortably tight-fitting clothing that may irritate or chafe you. especially at the breast: or abdomen.

Most common sites of cancer in women, in order of incidence. are: genital, digestive. breast. skin. re- spiratory. urinary and mouth.

Men are more apt to develop cancer in the digestive tract. skin. lungs and mouth.

Regular eating and bowel habila, careful care of your mouth and teeth and moderation in use of tobaco might help provide pro- lection

How can you tell whether you've got cancer? You can't always. of course. but your doctor can.

Answer: Whether or not alco- hollc beverages should be used by a person with hardening of the arteries could only be determined by the physician who. after mak- ing a careful examination, will de- cide whether their us: might be harmful.
