Polio Foundation Broadens Scope,
Takes In Virus, Arthritis Research
New York — A program that
will permit a scientific as'sault on
major health problems of the na-
tion, with arthritis and birth de-
fects as initial new targets, was
announced this week by the Na-
tional Foundation for Infantile
Par aly si's.
Basil O’Connor, president of the
organization that made possible
the Salk polio vaccine, outlined
its broad new program of future
attack on disease and disability at
a press conference in New York
on Tuesday (July 22).
While carrying on the winning
fight against polio, the National
Foundation, a's it now will be
known, will continue its history-
making virus research program
and investigations of disorders of
the central nervous system, and
will add research and patient aid
in arthritis and birth defect's (con-
genital malformations), Mr. O’Con-
nor said.
The expanded program will be
financed through the traditional
March of Dimes conducted each
January by volunteers in 3,100
county chapters across the coun-
try.
Mr. O’Connor Said:
“This is our concept for the fu-
ture: The development of an or-
ganized voluntary force in the field
of medical research, patient
car and professional education,
flexible enough to meet new
health problems as they arise, with
specific goals initially.
“The heart of the new program
is research. Research will be ex-
panded from where it is now, with-
out the restriction of being con-
fined in the future to a single
training of personnel both for re-
search and patient care in all
areas of activity.”
Freedom to follow research
clues wherever they lead will be
combined with neces'sary limita-
tions on patient aid in the begin-
ning, Mr. O’Connor explained.
The limitations result from' the
enormity of the patient care prob-
lem: At least 11,000,000 persons
have arthritis and rheumatism;
20,000 children are born with sign-
ificant birth defects each year
(excluding birth injuries); an es-
timated 10,000 persons who have
had paralytic polio still will re-
quire some assistance in the years
ahead.
It is planned to otter patient aid
at first only to arthritis patients
through 18 years of age and to
children suffering from malforma-
ions of the central nervou’s sys-
tem also through age 18, he said.
Some 16,000 childhood arthritis
sufferers can be expected to seek
treatment each year and about

/lore Summer Hits
Slated at Wes-Mer
During Coming Week
The parade of summer hits con-
tinues at the Wes-Mer Drive In
"Theatre, located mid-way between
Mercedes and Weslaco on U. S.
Highway 83.
Tonight and Friday, the Wes-
Mer is showing the Academy
Award winning “The Joker Is
Wild” starring Frank Sinatra.
Mitzi Gaynor, Jeanne Crain and
Eddie Albert. In addition to fea-
turing a numberr of old time fav-
orite song hits, the film also fea
ture's the new song “All The Way”
which won an Academy Award as
the best song featured in any mo-
tion picture last year. On the same
bill, James Stewart and Audie
Murphy are co-starred in “Night
Passage” with Dan Duryea and
young Brandon de Wilde.
.Saturday only, the Wes-Mer will
present a double Technicolor pro-
gram in “Quantez” with Fred
MacMurray and Dorothy Malone
and Gordon Scott in the first Tar-
zan story filmed in color, “Tar-
zan and The Lost Safari.”
Sunday and Monday, Paul New-
man is starred in the first real
true to life story of Billy The Kid
in the motion picture “The Left
Handed Gun.” Others in the cast
are, Lita Milan, John Dehner and
Hurd Hatfield.
Tuesday night the Wes-Mer will
open a limited engagement of the
provacative “And God Created
Woman” starring the French sen-
sation Brigitte Bardot. Life Maga-
zine said, “Much more than Amer-
ican audiences are used to seeing
of wh&t 23 year old girls are made
of!” The Wes-Mer management
suggests that “And God Creat-
ed Woman” is adult entertainment
in every sense of the word.
HOUSEKEEPING #4
■■■ ■ ■■HftmuttwiuyiiMw—M—
In the tricky business of try-
ing to convince a balky husband,
the all-important thing is The
Approach. Whether you’re trying
to wheedle theatre tickets, a fur
coat, or, as in my case, a new
range, The Approach must be
developed to a fine art. The art
is in knowing which method will
•best apply to your particular
brand of husband.
Take the case of the hoped-
for range. Approach #1 (recom-
mended in only a few cases where
a favorite spouse loves to cook
and is half-way convinced to be-
gin with): “This old range is a
wreck. Isn’t it about time we got
a new one?”
Approach #2 (for the man
who takes pride, in his technical
know-how): “Will you explain
something to
% me, dear?
Your’re so
clever about
these- things.
Whirlpool has
a new electric
range with
controls that
pinpoint the
right heat
with a gliding
light. Can you
imagine? And
it has infinite heat on all four
burners plus the plug-in griddle.
How can they possibly, etc.,
etc?”
Approach #3 (positively guar-
anteed for the gourmet). Some
night after a dinner of wieners
and beans draw mouth-watering
word pictures of a standing rib,
roasted to perfection, ducks, ca-
pons, barbecued ribs, shish-ka-
bob, foods you never dared to try.
Then deftly slip in the fact that
the new electric range you have
your eye on features an automa-
tic rotisserie, an automatic bar-
b-kewer, even ah automatic bas-
ter which combine to produce
unheard of delicacies.
Approach #4 (This is for die-
hards who think a wood-burning
stove is rather snappy. This
method will take a little longer
and may be hard on your reputa-
tion, but it’s worth it). Over a
period of time manage to burn a
few favorite dishes, jump up and
down so your cake will certainly
fall, see to it that not everything
finishes cooking at the same
time. When the complaints be-
gin coming in, you have him
trapped. Throw yourself on his
mercy and mention the new
range with the built-in food guide
which dials the right time and
temperature for 82 main dishes!
If none of the above works, try
a combination of several. If he
continues to be unmoved, either
give up, study the approach prob-
lem more closely, or be philo-
sophical and congratulate your-
self on having a mate who can-
not be swayed by fire or flood!
