public school workers, 220,000 volunteers, and nearly 2 million school kids in his trials of his new ‘killed’ vaccine. • Meanwhile, the polio epidemic was still raging. In 1952, nearly 60,000 cases were reported in the U.S., killing over 3,000 people and leaving over 20,000 survivors with some form of paralysis. Polio killed more people that year than any other communicable disease. • When the success of the new vaccine was officially announced on April 12, 1955, Salk was instantly hailed as a hero, becoming a national celebrity overnight. When he was asked in a televised interview who owned the patent to the vaccine, Salk replied: “There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” • According to one historian, the announcement led to widespread celebration: “People observed moments of silence, rang bells, honked horns, blew factory whistles, fired salutes, took the rest of the day off, closed their schools, drank toasts, hugged children, attended church, smiled at strangers, and forgave enemies.” • By the summer of 1957, 100 million vaccines had been distributed throughout the United States. By 1962, polio was nearly extinct, with only 910 cases reported that year. Today, global vaccination efforts by organizations such as UNICEF and the World Health Organization have almost completely eradicated polio from the planet. • The World Health Organization estimates that there are between 10 to 20 million polio survivors worldwide. In 1977 there were 254,000 persons living in the United States who had been paralyzed by polio. As one of the largest disabled groups in the world, polio survivors helped spur the modern disability rights movement through campaigns for the social and civil rights of the disabled. • Jonas Salk founded the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in 1960, and subsequently spent many years researching a vaccine for HIV. He worked until his death from heart failure at the age of 80 on June 23, 1995. ‪

Dollars $and $en$e$ by David Uffington

By Samantha Weaver

● It was American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox who made the following sage observation: “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.” ● During the Victorian era, a well-dressed gentleman was never outdoors without a hat, and most had different hats for different occasions. Of course, the cost of such haberdashery could mount significantly, so one enterprising British soul registered a design (which was much less expensive than registering a patent) for a “duplex hat” -- an elaborate contraption that, by means of hidden springs, could convert from a top hat to a bowler hat to suit the circumstances. ● Before you ink yourself, you might want to consider this: The cost of removing an unwanted tattoo can be up to 10 times as much as it cost to get the tattoo in the first place. ● If you’re like the average American parent, your kids get $3.40 from the tooth fairy for each tooth lost. ● You’ve doubtless heard of peak oil -- that theoretical point at which the global production of oil reaches its maximum output, after which production gradually declines -- but what about peak poultry? Those who study such things say that the world hit its peak production of chicken for human consumption in 2006. ● The first canned meat product, known as Hormel Spiced Ham, was developed in 1937. Several imitators followed, and the executives at the Hormel Company, concerned about the new competition, decided to have a competition to rename the product. The winner, Broadway actor Kenneth Daigneau (and brother to the company’s vice president), won $100 for the winning entry: Spam. *** Thought for the Day: “A good speech should be like a woman’s skirt: long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.” -- Winston Churchill

Student-Loan Debt The respected research group Brookings Institute has released reports that cast a disturbing eye on student-loan debt -- at least on the surface. The bare stats might look a bit more grim than the reality. Between 1989 and today, graduate students have left school with debt that has risen from $10,000 to $40,000. At the bachelor-degree level, the debt has risen from $6,000 to $16,000. However, because of having degrees, the lifetime income of those students also has increased enough. Over the past two decades, graduates have spent between 3 percent and 4 percent of summer special! their income repaying student loans, but the length of time for repayment has increased. The researchers concluded that graduates are no worse off than they were a decade ago when it comes to paying off student debt. Other Brookings researchers asked whether students know how much debt they will accumulate. Only half of students knew within $5,000 how much their first year of college cost them. Over a quarter said they didn’t have any federal debt at all (possibly because of the confusion about the source of student loans), and 14 percent said they didn’t have any student loan debt. Thirteen percent of students claimed to have no loans at all when they actually did, while 10 percent underestimated by more than $10,000 the amount of the loans they accrued. One disturbing conclusion was that “Students with high expected contributions are more likely to be unaware that they have any debt,” possibly because the parents were managing the decisions for them. The end result of this research? Some students might decide not to attend college at all, fearful of the debt. Others might reach graduation and be shocked at the mountain of debt they’ve accumulated. Some might be prompted to finish up

quickly. Research in 2009 showed that both private and public colleges have equal rates of “six-year graduations,” where students linger while getting an education. In the maze of filling out admission and financial-aid applications, students and parents need to pause and look closely at the numbers, especially when the financial-aid packages come back. Students also need to be aware of the amount of debt that they are accumulating in their own name and are responsible for. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

All the Presidents’ Dogs In the wake of the recent Presidents Day observance, I can’t stop thinking about all the dog hair that’s gracefully wafted through the Oval Office. Dogs have been keeping our presidents young for as long as we’ve been electing them. While George Washington never lived in the White House, he did live with dogs. According to the official Mount Vernon site (mountvernon.org), America’s first president “kept almost every group of dog recognized today by the American Kennel Club.” Calling the estate home: Greyhounds, Newfoundlands, Briards, spaniels, terriers, toys, French hounds Tipsy, Mopsey, Truelove and Ragman, coonhounds Drunkard, Taster, Tipler and Tipsy, a Dalmatian named Madame Moose, and a Staghound who answered to Sweetlips. John and Abigail Adams were the first president and first lady to live in the White House, and their mixed-breeds Juno and Satan were the first dogs to officially mark the White House lawn. There have been many since -- Calvin and Grace Coolidge alone brought far too many animals to the White House to list. While many of these presidential pups happily romped under the radar, some of them reached a level of fame -- or infamy -- equal to the presidents who adored them. Scottish terrier Barney Bush made headlines when he bit a member of the White House press corps. Bo and Sunny Obama, both Portuguese water dogs, made a brief splash, as well. But no presidential pooch has known enduring fame like Laddie Boy Harding. Warren Harding once wrote: “Whether the Creator planned it so, or environment and human companionship have made it so, men may learn richly through the love and fidelity of a brave and devoted dog.” That dog, for him, was an Airedale terrier named Laddie Boy. Arriving at the White House in time to interrupt Harding’s first cabinet meeting, Laddie Boy became the 29th president’s constant companion -- tagging along for golf outings, sitting in on cabinet meetings perched atop his very own chair, and attending first lady Florence Harding’s many fundraising events. In no time, Laddie Boy was a star, generating headlines, photo ops and tiny bronze statuettes in his likeness faster than his presidential counterpart generated scandals.

ANSWER: Unfortunately, I do see a problem. Odds are that you won’t have a problem taking this medication; it’s cheap and is effective for you. However, there is unequivocal, abundant, incontrovertible evidence that antihistamines like doxylamine or diphenhydramine increase fall risk. If you drive, they increase accident risk. They also can cause confusion. Although the benefit to you from quitting is small, if I can get enough people to minimize their sleep medications, I know I will prevent some falls. Falls are so often the first step in a progression from health to disability that I want to do all I can to prevent them. Adequate lighting in the house at nighttime, especially between the bedroom and bathroom, avoiding obstructions like area rugs and the addition of stairway railings and tub grab bars all help reduce fall risk. Exercise programs -- like the kind you are doing, but also tai chi -- are great at preventing falls. So is getting your eyes checked. No single one of these interventions can prevent all falls. All of them together will prevent many. Your medication list, even a simple over-thecounter sleeping aid, is the best place to start look-

Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way Q:

My sister and I are both in our 50s. I am happily married with children. My sister still lives at home and never married. She claims to have read our parents’ will and taunts me and refuses to share the details. She often makes the point of how much of her life she has given to our parents and the responsibility she has had to bear. She insinuates that I'm not doing my fair share by helping out. Is this her way of telling me she will receive a larger share of the estate because of her sacrifices?

the family dining room set. It’s my favorite and it always reminds me of the wonderful holidays meals we’ve shared.” She might offer a clue as to who will receive the set. Another leading question might be: “You know, we really do need another car. Do you think dad might let me have the extra one in the garage?” Her answer might reveal plans that have already been made. Ask about their day to day and future needs, and how you can best help your sister in meeting them. You do have a responsibility role in their lives even though your sister is so readily available to them. Remember, the financial wars always begin after the second parent is gone. Frequently, and unfortunately, these fairness issues are never resolved.

● On March 5, 1839, Charlotte Bronte writes to the Rev. Henry Nussey, declining marriage. The 23-year-old Bronte told him that he would find her “romantic and eccentric,” and not practical enough to be a clergyman’s wife. Her novel “Jane Eyre” was published eight years later. ● On March 3, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signs a bill creating the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands. Known as the Freedmen’s Bureau, this federal agency oversaw the transition of blacks from slavery to freedom. ● On March 4, 1888, Knute Rockne is born in Voss, Norway. He would go on to become one of the most successful coaches in the history of college football, leading Notre Dame during its golden era in the 1920s. Rockne won three undisputed national championships with the Fighting Irish. ● On March 7, 1938, Janet Guthrie, the first woman to compete in the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500 races, is born in Iowa. In 1976, she was the first woman to compete in a NASCAR Winston Cup superspeedway race. ● On March 6, 1945, members of the Dutch resistance attempting to hijack a food truck unwittingly ambush German Lt. Gen. Hanns Rauter, head of the Nazi SS in Holland. In retaliation, the SS put to death 263 Dutch. Rauter later was executed for war crimes. ● On March 2, 1978, in a famous case of body-snatching, two men steal the corpse of film actor Sir Charles Chaplin from a cemetery in Switzerland. After a five-week investigation, police arrested two auto mechanics, who led them to Chaplin’s body. ● On March 8, 1982, the United States issues a public statement accusing the Soviet Union of using poison gas and chemical weapons against rebel forces in Afghanistan. Evidence to support these charges was largely anecdotal. Some critics charged that the accusations were a smokescreen behind which the United States could go forward in upgrading its own chemical weapons arsenal. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Sitzendorf Porcelain Factory has been located in Thuringia, Germany, since 1845.

This is a photo of a picture case that I have. It measures 3 3/4 inches by 3 3/4 inches and is decorated with an intricate design on the top and around the edge. Inside is a picture of a girl. I think the case is plastic and have been told there were products years ago that were plastic. The case has the words “Holmes, Booth and Hayden -- Daguerreotype, Photographic and Ambrotype Goods of Ever y Description.” I would appreciate any information you can give me.

You have a Union Case used to display a daguerreotype plate. It is a thermoplastic case that was made by Holmes, Booth and Hayden in the 1850s. Samuel Peck introduced the process around 1853. The process was created by heating the combination or the union of several materials that included fibrous material, wood fiber, gum shellac and color dye, thus the name “Union Case.” Daguerreotypes were fragile and were easily scratched and damaged. Union Cases provided good p r o t e c t i o n. Although there were several mak- Union Cases made from early plastic. ers of “Union Cases,” Holmes, Booth and Hayden were the first to develop and use a range of colors other than black or brown. The cases were hinged to prevent them from flopping open. Some collectors refer to the thermoplastic cases as being made of gutta-percha, which is a very different process and incorrect term.

Sitzendorf Porcelain Factory made your figurine in the early 1900s. They have been located in Thuringia, Germany, since 1845. Sitzendorf Porcelain pieces are known for their high quality and workmanship. Much of their work has been inspired by early Meissen porcelain. Your figurine would probably be worth $125 to $175. * * *
