... Ma
A nine million dollar gamble by the National
jundation for Infantile Paralysis may pay off,
n a big way, this sp%ng. We'll know the answer
next month, when studies of the Salk vaccine are
completed at the University of Michigan and
the Federal Government decides whether or not
to license the vaccine.
The stakes are high . . . and the nine million
dollars are peanuts when measured against the
potential value of a real and effective vaccine
against Polio.
The Salk vaccine, tested on 440,000 American
youngsters last Spring, may be IT . . . and every-
body is keeping fingers crossed and waiting
prayerfully for the announcement of final re-
sults. But all signs are hopeful.
If the vaccine is proved successful, nine mil-
lion first and second graders in U. S. schools
will be offered the vaccinations . . . free . . . be-
fore the close of school this year; and the medi-
cine will be available through regular channels
to millions of others this summer.
That's the reason for the big gamble. Such
mass vaccinations require time in preparation
and much planning . . . and there's no time to
f<raste. The preparations and the planning are
underway now, so that if the green light is given
In April, no time will be lost in getting life-
saving vaccine to nine million youngsters.

America's Answer
■y
To Communism
(From The Hereford Brand)
cently which should literally" sfiafe íjfeeí°¿&.sr8l
the Kremlin in Moscow. That announcement con-
remed the sponsorship of devotional periods in
Hereford High School, conducted daily by the
Student Council.
The devotionals are non-denominational. They
make no pretense toward raising the old ques-
tion of church and state. On the contrary. They
appear at the request of fine, wholesome boys
and girls and, coming as they do, the devotionals
represent America's true answer to the challenge
*>f Communism.
President Eisenhower opened his administra-
tion with a devout, sincere prayer. In recent
months special prayer rooms have been estab-
lished in the halls of the Legislative Building in
Washington, D. C. The improvements were made
at the request of Congressmen and Senators.
Faced with ruthless Communism on one hand
and by the unknown quantities of Atomic Power
on the other, the leaders of our nation are turn-
ing, more and more, toward Divine Guidance in
the course of conducting the affairs of our na-
tion.
This is fitting, indeed, when you recall that
Thomas Jefferson sought Divine Guidance when
he wrote out the inspired pages of our Constitu-
tion. Abraham Lincoln, likewise, sought Divine
Guidance when our nation was threatened with
strife and internal war.
The United States was founded as a God-fear-
ing nation, by God-fearing people. As such, it
has multiplied and prospered. So long as its
leaders — and its youth — continue to build
upon the foundation of Divine Guidance, America
has little to fear from Communism.
Parents will be called on soon to cooperate in
the big gamble. Here's where you will come in:
If the Salk vaccine is approved next month,
all first and second grade youngsters in the Ca-
nadian schools will be offered the vaccinations
free ... if their parents consent.
Parents of these youngsters will receive consent
forms in about two weeks. If you receive one of
these, act promptly on it. If you give your con-
sent, and the vaccine IS approved, everything
will be ready to provide the vaccinations for your
youngster without delay. If the vaccine isn't ap-
proved, there will be no program.
There's one other thing you CAN do now, if
you will: Join thousands of other parents in a
heartfelt prayer that the Salk vaccine will prove
to be a tremendous success . . . and the threat
of polio may be ended at last.

Ask the Teen-Agers . . .
. . . They Know the Answers
If you want to know what's wrong with your
town, ask the teen-agers, suggests the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States. They'll pin-
point your faults for you in a way that will
make you squirm. But you'll probably find their
criticisms sound.
Further, says the Chamber, their complaints
will give you clues about what to do with teen
agers themselves. Juvenile delinquency undoubt
edly could be cut by putting the teen-agers' sug
gestions into effect.
These conclusions were based on a unique sur-
vey conducted by the Independence (Iowa)
Chamber of Commerce in the town's two high
schools. The Chamber asked 160 juniors and sen-
iors for frank answers to 24 questions about the
community.
The experience of the Independence Chamber
of Commerce should be no surprise in Canadian
When City officials recently asked Canadian high
«school students for suggestions regarding im-
proved traffic regulations, the youngsters prompt-
ly came up with some sound, well thought-out
ideas which were promptly put into effect in
the school zones . . . and the improvement is
obvious.
Don't sell the kids short.

Natural Gas Industry . . .
. . . Faces a New Crisis
(From the Industrial News Review)
An official of the Sun Oil Company recently
observed that the natural gas industry now
faces a crisis so great that it could be disastrous
for everyone concerned.
An official of the Ethyl Corporation, in
speech on the natural gas situati^ ^|-'F¿ef¿
assure an abundant supply."
The Saturday Evening Post, at the end of a
long critical editorial on federal controls on nat-
ural gas production, said: "Any move to impose
regulation on an American industry should be
supported by substantial evidence that a need
for regulation exists and that the measures
sought are consistent with the operation of a
free economy."
No one is opposing regulation of natural gas
service to consumers. That is a public utility op-
oration and it is regulated as are all other public
utility operations. The current crisis has followed
a 5-to-3 Supreme Court decision holding that the
Federal Power Commission has jurisdiction over
the production and sale of gas at the wellhead.
To produce natural gas, like oil, is costly and
extremely risky—the great majority of wildcat
wells prove worthless. Then, if gas is found, each
producer must sell it in competition with all the
other producers to publicly regulated utility com-
panies. If on top of this a government agency is
to have iron-clad authority over the producer, the
end result is as inevitable as tomorrow morning
—fewer wells will be drilled, less new gas will
be found, and a gas shortage will-follow.
If and when that happens, consumers will be
the big losers. And that's why there is a strong
and growing belief in Congress that gas pro-
ducers must be freed from FPC regulation if this
great industry is to continue to exist as a dy-
namic force' in American life.

We don't know what kind of
blue sky laws they have in Ok-
lahoma to cover this sort of
transaction . . . but we hope the
Veterans Land Board in Texas
doesn't get onto the idea. What
a "block deal" they could have
made with the Milky Way!
Up in Kansas they're using
old automobile tires in plowed
fields to cut down blowing!
Our authority for this is our
esteemed fellow ink-slinger,
Harold Hudson of the Ochiltree
County Herald . . . and HIS
authority is Jack Payne, the
Herald's linotype operator.
"Jack went into Kansas over
the week-end," Hudson reports,
"and on the way back noticed a
lot of old automobile tires scat-
tered around the fields. Upon in-
quiry, it developed that these
old tires are used as wind dis-
turbers to keep down the dust.
Farmers up there hunt around
and find the high points of their
fields where the dust starts mov-
ing first, then throw some old
tires around these spots. These
tires cause enough turbulence in
the wind currents over these
spots to keep the dust from stir-
ring up. And everyone out here
know3 that a blowing field us-
ually starts from one point which
'smokes' and stirs up the soil
around it."
* «
Editor Hudson seems to have
his doubts about this story,
but we don't. Ifs a perfectly
logical way to keep the dust
from blowing. These Kansas
farmers are pretty sharp, and
they just weren't giving away
all their secret. Those wen
blow-out proof tires, naturally.

The Last Sorrowful Days
Of Jesus
The last sorrowful days of
Jesus before His Crucifixion were
brightened with hope, even as
He spoke of tribulation: "Be of
good cheer: I have overcome the
world."
The disciples may well have
recalled these words of good
cheer after the Resurrection as
they saw, by the light of obedi-
ence to their Master's command,
the Christian faith spreading and
beginning its world conquest.
But in the darkness of that
hour, with their Master saying
strange words of what was to
befall Him, their hearts and
minds were still evidently set
upon the idea of an earthly
kingdom.
We can well understand their
confusion. Peter was about to
deny vehemently that he knew
the Master who had been appre-
hended. Yet it was this same
Peter who had been with Jesus
on the Mount of Transfiguration
and who had hailed his Master
as the Messiah, "the Christ, the
Son of the living God."
Peter's denial was, in all prob-
ability, a reaction of disappoint-
ment from all that had led him
to leave his fishing nets and fol-
low Jesus. Yet his renunciation
had in it something of impuls-
iveness, and when the crisis of
his denial had passed, he went
out and wept bitterly.
But neither the denial nor the
repentance could overcome his
disappointment. He had left all
to follow Jesus, but he was go-
ing back to his fishing nets. "I
go afishing," he said to his fel-
low disciples, and they were
ready to go with him.
But then came the revelation
of the living Christ, and it was
a different sort of fishing in
which Peter engaged on the Day
of Pentecost.
Out of these days of sorrow
and triumph came the message
of the friendship between God
and man, and man's eternal
place in the love and life of
God.

From where I sit... ly Joe Marsh
Uses His Head
Saves His Feet
Nobody around here esn re-
member when Pop Turner wasn't
our town's postman.Hemusthave
been toting that big, heavy mail-
sack since Pony Express days.
That's why it's sometimes a
shock to see him these days pull-
ing his mail bag around in a
"caddy cart," a sort of light
wagon that golfers use so they
don't have to carry their clubs.
"Folks sometimes holler 'fore'
at me and ask me how my game
is," Pop reports, "but I'm not
ashamed to learn something new.
Just wish I'd thought about these
golf gadgets years ago!"
From where I sit, it's good to
see someone come up with a new
wrinkle —keeps us from feeling
too regimented. For instance,
perhaps you've always felt that
hot milk is the only thing te
drink at bedtime. Then someday
you meet a fellow who prefers a
cold glass of beer. Well, that's his
choice — and certainly he's en-
titled to it. We can't expect
everyone to follow our old habits
to the "letter."

Hot Water
ISN'T A PRODUCT OF CIVILIZATION but
the modern Gas hot water heater is.
Thousands oi years ago man learned how
to build a lire, and warm water quickly
followed. Building a fire wasn't easy, so
there was warm water only on rare oc-
casions.
THE AUTOMATIC GAS HOT WATER HEAT-
ER is a product of the modern age. The
home without it is almost as antiquated
as the cave of prehistoric man who strug-
gled to build his fire. No appliance can
provide so many comforts at so little cost,
- and it's automatic.
NEARLY TWENTY MILLION OWNERS are
enjoying the luxury of having all the hot
water they need, whenever they want it.
