KODIAK INVENTOR
RECEIVES PATENT
A resident of Kodiak has per
| fected a device whereby the warm
air in a cook stove can be utilized
in drying clothes. The device was
patented by Bill Worth, a long
time resident of Alaska and Ko
diak, who has patented several
>ther devices, most of them
household articles.
Worth’s latest invention receiv
ed a mention in a recent issue of
the Newr York Times. The Times
describes the invention as a
“clothes dryer that fits in an open
oven of a cook stove or, range. It
whirls the clothes to dry them
and takes advantage of the stove’s
heat.”
The article goes on to state: “As
shown in patent 2,774,148, the
dryer consists of a hollow per
forated drum. It is filled with wet
laundry and pushed into the oven,
with its electric motor resting on
the open door. As the drum re
volves, projecting air scoops pull
in hot air and cleats inside turn-"
ble the clothes around.”
Bill has patented a garbage can
lid that stays on ,in spite of heavy
winds and marauding dogs. An
other invention is an amusement
device for telling the future.

POLIO VACCINATIONS
PROVED VALUARLE
Chicago’s polio epidemic of
1955, the most intensive in the
tountry during the year, under
scored the protection afforded by
the Salk vaccine, according to the
National Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis.
Although 1,098 cases were re
ported up to October 30 with
682 of them paralytic, 699 of
those who contracted the crip
pling form of the disease were
children and adults who had re
ceived no vaccine. The anti-polio
vaccine is designed to protect
against paralysis, not against
the disease in its mild, non-para-,
lytic form.
Records of th% Chicago Board
of Health show that of the 682
paralytic cases, none occurred in
a person having the full series of
three injections; 58 were in per
sons with two shots; 154 in those
with only one shot of vaccine.
Thus 470 of the 682 paralytic cas
es occurred in people who were
entirely unvaccinated.
The story of polio in Chicago
in 1956 gives ample evidence of

the wisdom of completing Salk
shots before the polio season.
Vaccine supplies now are ample
for both children and adults. v
More Shots Urged
Those who have had one in
jection are urged to get their
second if they have not yet done
so, since two shots give consider
able if not maximum protection.
And those who have had two
shots seven or more months ago
most certainly should arrange for
the important third or booster
dose well before polio incidence
starts to rise in 1957.
