Oral Polio Vaccine Canada will be following the ex-

-ample of a number of nations, in- -;

cluding Russia, New Zealand and Japan, and will be going a step States and

the United Kingdom when it licenses oral poliomyletis vaccine. Word that this step will be taken in the next few weeks comes from - Canadian health department offic- ials, who hope that the vaccine to be produced in this country will be licensed for use against. all three types of polio, and anticipate that it will be available for use before the start of the polio season in June or July.

In the United States the live- virus Sabin vaccine has been licensed for manufacture to pro- vide protection against only two of the three types of polio. In Britain license for manufacture has been issued for protection against — all three types, but the vaccine itself . is not readily available.

Present plans in Canada are that the new vaccine will be used principally as a booster for those who have already received Salk dead-virus vaccine. It is possible, however, that it will eventually sup- plant the Salk vaccine completely as the approved method of protec- tion. Once viewed with suspicion, and the stibject of considerable de- bate, oral vaccine has now reached a stage of development and increas- ed acceptance where this prediction _ can be made with some measure of confidence.

STILL A LIVE ISSUE

1066 And All That Remains

National Geographic News Bulletin

The Battle of Hastings is still a live issue in England— though it was fought nearly nine cen- turies ago. _

Every schoolboy knows, or should know, that in 1066 Duke | William of Normandy started | the Norman conquest of- Eng. | land. by defeating King Harold | at the Battle of Hastings.

Time has not completely heal- | ed the wounds of the battle on | the southeast coast of England.

The Hastings Borough Council |

recently announced that it plans |

to commemorate the ninth cen- | tennial of the battle by re-enact- | ing the Norman invasion. The announcement touched off a bristling exchange of letters to the local newspapers.

A retired admiral protested the celebration of an English de-

feat by a foreign “gangster.” A

housewife with Norman sympa- thies maintained that ‘William had a strong claim to the Eng- lish throne. One letter called Harold the “noblest figure” of the fray; another said he was a bigamist and usurper who de- served to die with a Norman ar- row in his eye.

This probably’ won't do much good, comments the Milwaukee Journal. A motorist bent on evading the speed law won't hesitate to break -a law against radar detectors, if he can obtain one anywhere. But the police have already found ways. to outwit the gadgets. Their radars ean be aimed so that the motorist won't get warning soon enough to slow down much.

Or if that fails, the police could resort to electrical gadgetry, too. Some little unattended device every mile or so that would give out a rad- ar signal or its equivalent, night and day. This ought to confuse the detectors and cause the purchasers” to cast them into the ash can in dis-* gust.

Proposals | that Un forces police the bord- ers pending a final settlement were agreed to several years ago by Pakistan but were re- by India. - { UN calls for a plebiscite have | also been rejected by India. | About 80 per cent of the 4,000,- 000 people in Kashmir are Mos- lem, and Moslems predominate in Pakistan, India wants no part of selfdetermination be- cause it is quite sure that Kash- mir would vote to join Pakistan.
