Engineering race to save Colorado irrigation tunnel
Mountain States readers focus on a major water crisis at Cameo Colorado where a 1000-foot ridge slid into the Colorado River severing an irrigation tunnel feeding Grand Valley. The Bureau of Reclamation rushes a half mile tunnel through solid rock to restore 30 000 acres and 1 000 orchards with $3 million in annual crops at stake. Contractors rushed $508 000 of gear from four states to finish a $620 000 project and aim for completion soon.

Injection Ban Shocks London Poliomyelitis Link
London county council bans the combined diphtheria and whooping cough injection in clinics when infantile paralysis is most prevalent. The move follows British Medical Association warnings that vaccines may trigger severe poliomyelitis cases. Melbourne reports Dr Bertram P McCloskey travels to Britain to discuss possible links and Dr Kevin Brennan calls it a major new field of poliomyelitis investigation. A Victoria survey of 641 polio cases found 60 immunized children, under five, in the prior three months with 30 polio cases directly linked to the vaccine. Ottawa says Canada sees no tie between polio and the injection and will take no steps.
