Transfers last October of im-i portant amounts E t accounts of associated companies with head offices listed in Charlottetown have given rise to financial mystery at Ottawa. The transactions did not indicate any changes in con- ditions in Charlottetown or "on the island. but they proved a puzzle alike to the Finance De- partment. the research division of the,Bank of Canada. and the bus- iness statistics division of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

The mystery arose from the fact that last.year, according to carefully audited figures at Ot- tawa. cheques cashed in Charlotte- town amounted to S475 million compared with 8173 million in 1953. On this account. the Domin-' ion Bureau of Statistics announcedi on Wednesday that ”tbe largest increase in the value of cheques cashed last year tin Canadai was in Charlottetown where the total was up more than 164 percent.”

Before the true explanation was received locally. Bank of Canada officials told The Guardian rep- resentative at Ottawa that they had no explanation to offer for thc sensational increase unless by any chance the method of bank clearincs in Charlottetown had been changed.

Local Financial Mystery Had Ottawa Men Stumped

istics said no change had been made in the practice of bank clearings. but couldn't underlllnd why. when average bank clearings in the city run to 815 million a

month. they were listed. as 8222 In

million for October 1954.

"There seemed something ob- viously wrong about this." I D.B. S. official told The Guardian. "50 we checked with the Canadian Bankers Association. They as- sured us that the S222 million figure was quite correct but didn't mention why or how it happened. We're not too satisfied because we can't think of any sweeping changes either in Charlottetown itself or in the Island that would acc ' for this sudden jump in

the value of cheques cashed there." It was probable. they said.

that the answer could be found only by asking the various chart- ered banks and financial in- stitutions in Charlottetown itself. This latter suggestion provided the key to the solution of the mystery, as noted above.

Polio Discussed

iiection with our efforts to protect against whooping cough. diph- theria. tetanus and smallpox. Pro- in lion against the latter disease definitely occurs ventive injections. Possibly ex- perience over the next few years will allow us to endorse polio vac- cine with equal certainty.”

Dr. Shaw described the differ- ence between bacteria and virus

the latter being the smallest form-

of life, which cannot be seen ex- cept through au electric micro-

' scope.

”Speaking broadly." he said, ”I think that more diseases are caused by viruses than by bac- teria.”

Dealing specifically with polio. Dr. Shaw continued. "This dis- ease is caused by virus. The word polio means grey. myelo means marrow-the marrow in the spinal cord. We commonly call brain and .pinal cord tissue grey matter. Polio will only grow and survive in the human. in the grey matter of the brain or spinal cord.

”Poliomyclitis is a widely pre- valent infection. Let us compare it with . measles. chicken- pox and all viruses diseases-all very prevalent-usually all in children during school age and in mild epidemics. all given perman- ent immunity. Another feature about these three common virus diseases is that they are all usually quite mild.

"Would you believe me if I said that the vast majority of polio infections are even milder than "to above three? Polio is so mild in fact that only. and this is not :in exact or proven figure. per- haps onc in one or two hundred persons infected are recognized clinically."

Now the unfortunate individual in whom the disease is recognized by parent and doctor. usually has trouble. That is because the virus has caused. in these few cases, a greater degree of inflamation of the grey marrow of the brain. or cord. The cells there are damn"- cd. they are nerve cells which carry I , ' . to move ' The area affected in the spinal cord may be the nerve cells con- trolling the leg and arm muscles. so these muscles will not function and so paralysis.

"It may be the nerve cells whlqh cnervate or motivate chest muscles. Then we require the iron lung. Paralysis usually subsides to some degree. as the inflammation subsidies. Paralysis. Infantile paralysis. the old word Infantile usually young people ”
