He will serve his nation well as a federal judge.” The original Elks resolution was passed by the state association which represents 45 lodges and 45 I temples in its recent conference Harlem Globetrotters Enjoy Quick 'K’ Breakfast EM A breakfast habit picked up while on tour in the United States has traveled to Paris and Germany with the internationally famous Harlem Globetrotters basketball team.

FARMING RATED NATION’S 3RD MOST HAZARDOUS JOB Between 14,000 and 15,000 farm residents will be killed in accidents this year if the 1955 death rate conforms with that of previous years. Another 1,200,000 or more may be injured. According to the National Safe ty iCouncil, farming is the na tion’s third most hazardous in dustry, Mining and construction have a higher rate of work deaths per 100,000 workers, but agricul ture has the highest number of accidental deaths. Because farm mishaps tend to .occur most often during late morn ing or afternoon hours, when body reflexes are more sluggish, many safety men recommend that rural workers emulate office and factory employees and take brief coffee breaks about 10.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m. In one nationwide industrial study, 82 per cent of the personnel men interviewed reported that cof fee breaks helped to reduce fa tigue, 32 per cent reported a lower accident rate. The National Safety Council in cluded the following among “ma jor unsafe acts” which farmers should guard against: failure to make regular safety inventories; hurry (taking shortcuts that cause accidents); using defective, unguarded, or wrong equipment; inattention (daydreaming while working with heavy machinery or near hazardous work, improper animal handling; violating com mon sense safety rules; allowing children near dangerous machin ery.

I However, better methods of care ,and prevention today bring new hope for young hearts. Know ing the facts about these diseases (can spare you needless worry j over your child’s health. Here are the questions most people ask— | and the answers you ought to know. WHAT iS RHEUMATIC FE VER? Rheumatic fever is a dis ease that may affect any part of the body—particularly the heart, joints, blood vessels, skin or brain. Damage to the heart may be serious or even fatal, but the effects on other parts of the body are usually temporary. WHAT IS RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE ? Rheumatic heart disease is the inflammation and scarring of the heart muscle j and heart valves as a result of rheumatic fever. This may inter fere with the work of the vital “pump” that supplies the blood our bodies need. DOES RHEUMATIC FEVER I ALWAYS DAMAGE THE HEART FOR LIFE? No. Two out of three rheumatic fever pat- j ients get well completely or have ! so little heart damage they car. work or play like anyone else. WHAT CAUSES RHEUMATIC : FEVER. The immediate cause is unknown. When rheumatic fever strikes, it usually follows nose and throat infections that are caused by a germ of the strep tococcus family. For example, “strep” sore throat, tonsillitis or scarlet fever. Rheumatic fever often starts about two to four weeks after the “strep” infection disappears, but not all “strep” infections are followed by rheu matic fever. HOW CAN I DECIDE WHETHER MY CHILD HAS RHEUMATIC FEVER? Never try to decide yourself. Let your doctor be the judge at all times. To Honor Beauticians With Mural Washington, D. C. — The Na tional Beauty Culturists’ League has commissioned Lucille D. Rob erts, well-known Washington ar tist, to do a mural depicting the development of the beauty cul turist field. According to Mrs. Cordelia Greene Johnson, president of the League, Miss Roberts’ work will be unveiled in ceremonies at the organization’s headquarters in Washington during the 36th an nual convention, August 14-18, at which time the beauticians will create its Hall of Fame. Miss Roberts describes the mural as being a work expressing “the underlying philosophy of ‘unity among beauticians’.” It is designed to increase public un derstanding and acceptance of the professional aspects of beauty culture and the high educational standards required of people in the field. It is expected that around 1,000 delegates from throughout the; United States and abroad will be! in Washington for the anunal convention of the League to be held at the Masonic Temple, 10th and U Streets. During the per iod of August 8-12 the League will conduct its Institute of Cos metology at Margaret Washing ton High School. Among speakers to appear be fore the convention and institute are Fredrick Morrow, member of the White House staff, Edward R. Dudley, NAACP, Charles By num, National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Donald C. Stokes, Stokes Institute of Tri chology ,and Mrs. Carmen Mur phy, Detroit’s J^Iouse of Beauty Strict Tests Through Every.Process \ y) Assure Safety of Salk Polio Vaccine , - For the first time in history, a vaccine is protecting millions of human beings from paralytic polio. While the Salk vaccine will not work in every case, American children are being safeguarded against the dread disease, with no more risk than they would take in a vaccination against smallpox or a typhoid shot. The Salk vaccine must pass elaborate tests under the watch ful eye of a government inspec tor at every stage of production. Then the final packaged vaccine is approved by the U.S. Public Health Service for distribution. Here are shown a few of the steps that assure American parents their children are being given a safe vaccine. This technician is filtering dead cells and all other foreign matter from polio virus after it has grown on animal tissue in glass containers. Virus is “cooked” in tank with formaldehyde (from bottle) until it is rendered harmless, after which it must pass exacting safety tests. Animal tissue in tubes is inoculated with vac cine and let stand. If any live virus remains, it will multiply here, hence can be detected. This expert is examining tissue after contact with vaccine, to determine absence of live virus. It's all over and it didn’t hurt a bit! Salk vac* cine makes this little girl safer now from pal* alytic polio.
