"| IRDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1951 ~ ' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE P MICROPHOTOS SHOW VIRUSES DOING DAMAGE By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE New Haven, Conn. (AP) -- How does a virus infection cause the damage and misery you feel? Some clues are coming from pictures of viruses actually doing their dirty work to living body cells. 'Flu viruses leave pits and scars sometimes on red blood cells. Some human skin cells are left motheaten, full of holes, after the virus of a skin disease gets going. The pictures were taken with an electron microscope, which can magnify things 100,000 times or more. Viruses cause polio, 'flu, the common cold, smallpox, mumps and other diseases. Certain vague intestinal upsets are often blamed on virus infection. = ign Glimpses of the action of the three kinds of virus were reported tp the National Academy of Scien- ces by Dr, Joseph Melnick of Vale University. All three seem to have different ways of multiplying inside infected cells, he said. Viruses of influeza were brought in contact with red blood cells. Some viruses stick to the smooth, outside surface of the red cells. Other cells show a general rough- ening of the surface. Some had "scars" of the pitted areas, with no virus obvious on the surface. With these cells, the viruses may have gone inside. The sequence of events in, the flu attack on cells of the respiratory system still is not certain. Another virus causes molluscum contagiosum, a chronic skin dis- ease marked by pinhead to pea- sized skin eruptions, yellowish- white or pinkish in color. Strange thihgs happen when the virus gets inside skin cells. The cityplasm, the er sub- stance of the cell except for the nucleus or core, is affected.

Learning the different methods of action is a step toward understanding and better control of virus diseases. Silver Jubilee (Continued from Page 4) peared in brief in The Times-Ga- zette on Thursday. Letters of congratulation were read from Rev. E. Ralph Adye, of Collingwood, former padre of the branch, and John McClelland, of Belleville, charter president. MAYOR J. W. ELLIOTT Bringing personal and civic greet- 4ngs, Mayor Elliott said that the memorial hall--a veterans' home-- "is a token of your faith in your comrades." He said that Whitby Legion had also contributed to the organization of the Canadian Le- gion dn the province, as a number of their members have been elected to the provincial command, where they have and are serving with dis- tinction. ""The, Canadian Legion is united in its e that parties who would destroy our way of life shall not succeed," the mayor said. His Worship said that Whitby was proud of Branch 112 of the Legion. T. D. THOMAS, MLA Recalling that the branch was 25 years old, which was young in the life of an organization, Mr. Thomas said that "we realize as we gather here the good job you have done, No greater tribute could be paid to the Legion that all were seeking to help their fellow men, no that he had seen the branch grow with. Ontario, and with the Do- minion. Canada, he said, was play- ing a vital role in world affairs. If the provincial and federal govern- ments build as substantially as the Legion has done, all will be well, he said. Mr. Thomas congratulated the branch on its achievements for ex-servicemen of two wars and for the community, and his hope was for continued success and progress. W. ¥ MOORE, K.C. "Thid is your silver jubilee, and T congratulate you from the bottom of my. heart" Mr. W,. H, Moore, K.C., a warm friend of the branch, who has donated a won- derful library in memory of his wife, told the Legion. It seemed strange, or it might have been pre- meditated, that this anniversary should fall on the anniversary of Japan's entry into the war just ten years ago, a war in which that Asia- tic nation, with one third of the world's populatiog, challenged our way of life, our western civilization, for had she not'openly declared that she aws out to destroy Great Britain, the United States and their allies. Mr, Moore recalled how great the second world was, eclipsing that of the first. "What we may have in the future, we do not know," he de- clared. But he was glad to know that the members of the Legion were alert, and thinking. "You re- member that life is a struggle for social security, and you are the em- blem of the men who struggled in two wars for that social security," Mr. Moore said. Mr. Moore wished for the Legion in Whitby still greater achievements than those that had marked the past quarter century, . NEED FOR CIVIL DEFENSE Provincial President spoke at length on some of the vital matters of national importance in which the Canadian is interested, and matters of more or less of particular interest to the organimation which in Canada from coast to coast today has 507 branches, He scored the lack of civil defedse in Canada, in the face of present world condi- tions which might bring on a world war, and laid the blame at the door of the government at Ottawa. We have in Canada a great pre- paredness job to do, and the surest way is to be prepared to do it, he said. Even if there was no war he believed that the efforts along this line, including universal training for our young men, would not be lost for they would build healthy bodies and minds and bring about a greater and more responsible citi- zénship, He felt that the task of building up a civil defense structure should be undertaken by the gov- ernment working through the muni. cipalities, and he deplored 'what he termed the "continuous shifting of the onus". He felt that the muni- cipalities in the end would make a great contribution to civil defense, working from the bottom and giving INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE 'Making No Promises, Only To Do A Good Job I favour a real effort to get new industries and new citizens, and lower the tax rate. Polling Day -- Monday, Dec. 10 : TRANSPORTATION 2250 matter who they might be. He said | leadership at the top. He believed that whatever the cost might be the people of Canada were prepared to pay it, all they wanted was a request from Ottawa and leader- ship that would make for an ef- fective defense against any attack on this country. "The Legion is pre- pared to play its part, but the gov- ernment must make a realistic ap- proach to the problem: So far as Whitby was concerned, the speaker sald that its location made it cer- tain that it" would suffer greatly from any attack from the air. He toid the mayor that he was pleas- ed to see that a civil defense or- ganizer had been appointed, and he hoped that the town would show an example in the matter of or- ganization to others. He was con- vinced, he said, that defense was a national problem. He praised the Legion for its efforts towards na- tional unity, a problem which had yet to be solved in this dominion. Outlining some of the things in which the Legion was now interest- ed, he referred to increased pen- sions for all who were now receiv- ing them to meet advanced living costs; housing, social services and the Legicn scholarship project which was producing very satisfac- tory educational results. In closing he wished for the Whitby Legion success in all future undertakings. Bazaar and Tea at Bay Church Was Very Fine Success The annual Christmas bazaar of St. John's W.A, Port Whitby, which was held Wednesday after- noon, was an outstanding success. The weather was favorable and a large number of friends from To- ronto, Ajax, Oshawa, Brooklin and Whitby attended. "The President, Miss Olive Gold- ring and Rev. James Harvey, wel- comed the guests. The bazaar was officially opened by Mrs. Sunter, wife of Canon Sunter, who was also in attendance. Three charter members of St. John's W.A,, Mrs. E. A, McIntyre, Toronto; Mrs. John Moore, Brooklin, and Miss Margaret E. Sleep, Port Whitby, along with Mrs. Bunter, of Toronto, poured tea. The following were in charge of various tables: Parcel' Post, Mrs. A. Edwards and Mrs. H. Watson; travelling fish pond, Mrs. J. Hark- ness; homemade cooking, Mrs. S. Whitney, Mrs. C. Astrop, Mrs. N.

Mart New York (AP) -- A steady rise in the value of the free Canadian dollar at New York was attributed yesterday to demand for Dominion currency 'to purchase Canadian securities. The Canadian dollar was quoted at 97.68% cents in relation to the United States dollar in New York, a rise of 1% cents over the 96.43% of a week ago. Banking circles said the demand was created especially by pus chase of Canadian dollars to buy subscription rights or securities of Tmperial-Oll-Company--and-Cana- dian Pacific Railway. . They explained that these pur- chases must be made in Canadian funds. The Canadian dollar was set free to seek a level governed by supply and demand in October, 1950. The recent increase in value is one of the largest since it was freed of any restrictions. The fixed rate prior to October, 1950, was 90.9 cents in relations to the United States dollar. The first day of free trading wound up with a closing price at New York at 94.43 cents. Vote to . . .
