PAGE SEVEN - SECTION TWO
simple. They had five presidents
instead of one. They had one for
the Department of Food, Depart-
ment of Clothing, Department of
Transportation, Department of
Homes and Department of Courts.
All the men worked for the gov-
ernment, and the women could,
if they chose to. The government
repaid them by giving them food,
houses, transportation, and a va-
cation.
There were rivers and lakes
inside the dome. They grew fruits
and vegetables. There were tun-
nels leading underground to dig
metals and minerals. Money meant
nothing to them; they used the
minerals to produce oxygen. They
used the metals to build houses,
buildings, bridges, sliding side-
walks, and cars.
As the five men took off for
earth, they thought of what the
United States would do to keep the
Soviets off the moon. Would they
use force, treaties, or allow them
to go to the moon?
The men didn’t think that they
would find any life on the moon.
Now they wondered what else they
would find, up and beyond.
The End
duced against a major communi-
cable disease. Yet thousands of
people — forgetting their anxiety
of five years ago -- have failed to
take advantage of it for them-
selves or their pre-school child-
ren.
In ages between five and 20
response to the vaccine has been
good, showing the influence of
school - sponsored vaccinations.
Among children under five, the
response has been fairly good. It
has been less than fair among per-
sons between 20 and 40.
Does the vaccine really prevent
paralysis in cases of polio? Here
is last year’s record: There were
734 cases reported — both paraly-
tic and n6n-paralytic. Of that
number, paralysis developed in 62
percent of those with no vaccina-
tion; in 47 percent of those with
only one shot; in 37 percent of
those with two shots; and in only
22 percent of those who had had
all three shots.
In other words, in all cases of
polio reported last year, paralysis
developed in three dut of five
cases without any shots, but in
only one out of five cases in per-
sons with all three shots.
Despite a continuing barrage of
publicity concerning adult vul-
nerability to polio, many adults
apparently must still be con-
vinced. The truth is that about 16
of every 100 cases of polio in Texas
hits at people 15 and over. And
when it does hit it hits with great-
er impact. The National Founda-
tion tot Infantile Paralysis re-
ports that three out of four res-
pirator patients today are 20 or
older.
Another misconception is that a
child can be too young to be vac-
cinated. This is a judgment for the
individual physician to make. Be-
fore the vaccine, children age five
to nine years were polio’s princi-
pal targets. But last year it struck
hardest at children age one year.
As far as the picture in Texas
is concerned, we need a higher
level of protection among persons
20 to 40 years old, and among
children under five.
Texas has an estimated popula-
tion of 6,230,000 persons between
6 months and 40 years of age —
the age recommended for polio
vaccinations. It would require
more than 18 million doses of vac-
cine to fully protect that number
of people. But as of April this
year, total vaccine shipments in-
to Texas totalled 10.5 rnillion.
Protection against polio is one
of the biggest bargains you can
buy today. If you haven’t had your
shots yet, it’s time you started
them.

would have were guns that shot a
high voltage of electricity. It
would just take them about 23 to
25 hours to get to the moon, travel-
ing at a speed of 8,000 to 12,000
mph.
They could see the moon easily
now. It would be just another
four hours before they landed.
During the nights on the moon
the temperature drops down to
243 degrees below zero. In the day
the temperature reaches 212 de-
grees.
The moon has no rains or riv-
ers to wear away mountain peaks
and no dusty winds to etch the
rocks, because it has no water or
air. The surface of the moon prob-
ably looks much today like it did
millions of years ago.
They were now entering what
would be the earth’s atmosphere.
If they had entered the earth’s at-
mosphere, they would have ex-
ploded because of friction; how-
ever, the moon has no atmosphere
so they could enter it at unbelieve-
able speed.
They were now maneuvering for
a landing. They needed a space
of 800 to 1,000 yards. The landing
gear does not work like an air-
plane’s; it goes down vertically.
The landing operation took 17
minutes.
The suits they wore outside the
ship were two inches thick, with
very fine cords inside them work-
ing like an electric heating system
and an air-conditioner.
They got out and looked around.
The temperature was 160 degrees
below zero. The ground was hard,
and inside the craters the dust
was so thick, it was just like
quick-sand.
Seeing no life there, they got
into the mall spaceship, the Po 9,
and went to look at thb unseen
side, they began to see : ice. Soon
they saw nothing but ice about
20 feet thick. The temperature was
358 degrees below freezing, and
the suits couldn’t give enough
heat, so the men decided to turn
back.
Tom Lanton (racked their way
back carefully, but on a different
route. Before the men got back,
they saw a huge plastic-like
structure, some eight miles in di-
ameter. In this dome were build-
ings, people and plant life. The
people looked like the people from
earth.
They went down to investigate.
The people on the moon were very
friendly toward them. They took
them inside and showed them
around.
The moon men were called Kan-
atains. The city was called Kana.
They said they were the only liv-
ing life on the moon.
The temperature on the outside
of the dome was 348 degrees be-
low freezing. Inside the dome it
was 89 degrees.
The city of Kana was run com-
pletely by cosmic rays. They made
their own climate and weather.
They had summers, falls, win-
ters, and spring. They had rain on
Monday mornings and Wednesday
evenings. They had fog on Thurs-
day mornings.
They said they came from earth.
When the earth exploded, a few
people lived through the blast.
Being the only life, they had no
wars to fight, and they learned
things faster.
The Kanatains were twice as
civilized as the Americans and
twice as happy. They had no wars
to fight, and they had a good sys-
tem of government.
The Kanatain’s government was

Jaywalking was costly in the
U. S. last year—2,600 were killed.
Only one day it could be — Mother’s Day!
Father, son and daughter, too, have teamed
up with electricity to make Mother’s Day a
real treat.
Plenty of electricity for her dozens of elec-
tric servants makes Mother’s job easier every
day of the year. And housekeeping in the
future looks even brighter and lighter with
