restrict their contact with residents
in this area as much as possible.”
Camps to Be Closed.
"Agencies holding short-term sum
mer camps have been contacted
within the past week and have
agreed to discontinue their camp
operations for the summer.
“The long-term camps already in
session are being asked not to per
mit visiting by persons from the
epidemic area of the State.
"Local health departments have
already taken action where indi
cated in limiting opportunities for
contact among children in counties
in the epidemic area.”
For the week ending today, a
total of 197 cases have been re
ported. Fifty cases were reported
yesterday, the highest number for
a 24-hour period during the current

Man-Made Rain? It's No Go
In Winter. Soys Bureau
By the Atieciatcd Prni
The Weather Bureau last night
threw a wet blanket on the idea
that men can make rain artificially
that will turn deserts into green
pastures.
Man definitely can’t do it in win
tertime by seeding clouds with dry
ice and other “stimulators,” the bu
reau said, reserving a final pro
nouncement on summetime possi
bilities until it finishes experiments
now under way.
The burea was making an official
report on results of some 40 cloud
seeding tests it made with the aid
of Air Force planes and pilots last
winter near Wilmington, Ohio.
So Far . . . Quite Ineffective.
“Methods so far tried are quite
ineffective in producing rain from
winter type stratus clouds,” said the
bureau.
“No appreciable amounts of pre
cipitation were observed unless it
was raining or snowing naturally
somewhere within thirty miles of
the treated coluds.
“Even when precipitation was pro
duced, it was too little to be .of
economic importance * • • to farm
i ers or water conservation districts.”
, The bureau said scientists re
sponsible for the research were
"generally disappointed, particularly
as published statements of earlier
experiments suggested that preci
pitation was easy to produce.”
That was a reference made to
—
claims put forth as the notion of
man-made rain developed such en
thusiasm about a year ago that
the practice of sending dry-ice
planes aloft became virtually a fad.
Particular enthusiasm over rain
making was manifested In the West.
There vast tracts of land lie useless
for farming because of lack of water.
Excitement rose among believers
that the time had finally come when
man could do more about the
weather than talk about it, at least
so far as rain was concerned.
The Weather Bureau kept quiet
through it all, expressing interest
but saying, as Bureau Chief Francis
W. Reichelderfer put It:
“It is necessary to secure highly!
reliable factual data, obtained as a!

result of carefully controlled experi
ments to prove or disprove the many
published reports of efforts to make
rain artificially.”
Flying Safety Involved.
Congress put up expense money
and the Weather Bureau and Air
Force went to work last winter,
aided by the Navy and the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.
They concentrated on determin
ing “the economic importance and
usefulness’* of rain-making Dm.
dry-ice and other stimulators.
A number of planes were used in}
each separate experimental opera
tion to scatter the ice among the
clouds, photograph cloud behavior
and measure induced changes in
cloud structure and pattern.
The results.were held to be dis
couraging not only as to rain-mak
ing but as to opening holes in
clouds large enough for airplanes,
thus cutting down on flying hazards. -
