TUKSUAY. SKITKMWKK 5, 1IM1 SYNTHETIC RUBBER Hero in XiiugiitncU syntliclic rubber is being manufncturod on so a scale that it is playing a very import- part in the nation's war effort, our residents are much interested in reading opinions expressed as to synthetics' lu- tiu-e after the war. It seems to be pretty generally ngreod tluit many now uses for that product will be found" and that the outlook for the industry is most promising The Chelsea, Record, in commenting- editorially on the subject of synthetic rubber says: ''Any Chelsea motorist who has scrimped and saved his automobile mileage an effort to make bis tires last the duration will have a decided interest in what is done with our synthetic rubber plants once the war is over.

He has expressed tin- opinion that possibly ludf the- present synthetic plants will continue to be operated in the post-war era.

He made the prediction that American chemists would develop better tlictics. If his prediction comes true, and there is good reason to believe it will, the -synthetic rubber plants eventually may be in a fair way to become ono of the great industries of this nation. QUIET CAMPAIGN So far, this "election lias been very quiet. Alt.hough it will naturally warm up as the formal campaign approaches, people obviously arc not expecting any groat excitement.

And lat.torly we grow more so. We go through the formal operations of a and try to maintain the procedures and precedents; but apparently even in this time of almost world-wide upheaval and uncertainty, we have not: started tearing our shirts, and don't expect to. We are really interested in the coming election, and millions of us are very deeply concerned, we can still behave in a civilized way. Being calm about our own national at- 1'airs, we can be reasonably calm about other nations, oven while waging two big In short, we Americans seem now to be really grown up.

Twelve-year-old Henry Novocinski, one of the" News' carriers, proved to he a lad of high courage and virtue, when ho turned 'over $.1,000 in cash to his father, John Novocinski, which be bad received as "hush money" from three youngsters who had found in a keg of used nails. Mr. Novocinski immediately called the police and Chief John J. Goi-inley and Sgt. Anthony Farrar be- iran an investigation which resulted in the recovery of the money.

The lads who had the money in their possession were 10, and 14. years old respectively. Of the total only $187 remained unaccounted for. Imagine what might have happened if some older boys had' the money fall into their hands. All in all, it was good work with all concerned.

The 194o i-eoort has -not yet been; printcu. Biit in there was no report- borausc there were 116 deaths from diphtheria in "the United.SUtcs. This is probably the most im- port-mt mpdicr.il event of the decade. It throws 'the sulfa drugs and' penicillin into the shn.cc. It is a truly epoch-malting' advance.

I select the year 1890, because that just before diphtheria antitoxin for treatment was introduced. At that time the average death rate from diphtheria was 50 per 100,000 in the United States The curative value of rliphthi-ria antitoxin cut the death rate until by 1020 it was 30 per 00,000, Diphtheria Treatment That was the first groat stop in diphtheria control. It was due to effective means of treatment after diphtheria had invaded. The second great step in prevention of diphtheria, so that nobody would cateli it and that was by the use of diphtheria tox- oid This can be said to have beer, begun about 1020.

It was then that health departments began a systematic campaign of prevention in children of the pre-schoo, "fee what this second preventive accomplished In .1.920 the mortality was 13. bv 1D30 it was 0. -By 13-10 it was ijss than one per 100,000 of the And-in 19-12 it was Hero.
