I’m not trying to belittle the great work of Dr. Salk. But a few Canadians made Dr. Salk’s work might have Take the matter of “Mixture No. 199”. Canadian scientists discovered “Mixture No. 199”. It was the use of this substance which enabled other scientists to go ahead with the discovery of a polio vaccine. Polio Research Polio research has been under- way for at least 50 years. In 1908 it was found that polio was caused by a virus. (A virus is a poison in the human or animal system). By injecting the virus in a monkey, the monkey would develop polio, and, for 30 years, this was the only way to show that polio virus was present in a stricken person (that is, virus was taken from the person, injected into a monkey, and, if the mon- key developed polio, it was evi- dence of the presence of the virus in the human). About 25 years ago, scientists learned how to protect monkeys against polio by means of a vac- ,cine, but the world had to wait until recent years for a practical way to be found to make a safe vaccine in large quantities. Connaught Lab. One key to the method of mak- contributions without which been long delayed. ing quantities safely was due to research work at the Connaught Laboratory at the University of Toronto. Here three doctors, Morgan, Morton and Parker, were trying to find a chemical substance to support the growth of tissue cells outside of the animal (or human) body. They were doing this work as part of a cancer research pro- gram. In 1950 the doctors announced the discovery of “Mixture No. 199”, made from over 60 chemi- cals. Then two years later, the Virus Research Dept, at the Hos- pital for Sick Children found that this mixture could be used to grow polio virus in tissue cul- tures. * Next Step The next’ step was the use of this mixture by doctors working in the U.S. Foundation for In- fantile Paralysis. They used it successfully to mass -produce polio viruses of all three types. And to this day, the safest polio vaccine is turned out in the Connaught, and other public lab- oratories in Canada, for use in Canada and other countries. UAW | FIGHTS BAN WINDSOR (CPA) — The United Auto Workers (CIO- CCL) has cancelled its annual golf tournament, planned for the Leamington Golf Club, be- cause club officials banned four Negro union members from De- troit who wanted to play a practice round on the club’s course. Negroes have played in the union tourney in previous years at the Leamington Club but the club professional, John Moffatt, said that Negroes had not had pre-tournament practice on the course before. Discrimination is believed to be common among semi-private clubs in the area. Announcing cancelation of the tournament, UAW Recreation Director Olga Madar noted that it was in line with the UAW’s “long-standing policy of not deal- ing with persons or organizations who discriminate because of race, color or creed”. She expressed surprise at finding discrimination against Negroes in Canada, stat- ing that it was fairly common in Detroit. Men still die with their boots on. However, today one of ’em is usually on the accelerator. Workers Win New Benefits TEL AVIV (CPA)—Not only holidays with pay but, in addi- tion, paid holidays are avail- able under a recent agreement signed between the Civil Ser- vice Commission of Israel and teachers which will have the en- tire cost of 5 days’ stay at a rest home paid by the govern- ment so long as the employees spend at ledst one week of their annual leave there. Contributions towards holiday expenses have been secured by workers in a number of industries during the last few years but this is the first comprehensive agreement covering government workers. ‘ A rest home for civil servants, established jointly by the union and the government, was opened by Prime Minister Sharrett re- cently. It accommodates '90 peo- ple and will be uséd as an educa- tional centre during the winter when it is not in use as a holiday resort.
