NO ONE VACCINE OOSE 0 COMPUTED BY THE NATIONAL EOUNDATI Of Everyone Urged to Deadly paralytic polio cases have been rising for the past two years. Last year, the cases zoomed to 54 per cent over 1958. The Salk vaccine has been proved safe and effective in preventing paralytic polio. The first two years after it was introduced, the number of cases fell off spectacularly. Why the change? What's gone wrong?

All over the country, people rushed to get immunized before the supply ran m.l A r. .. 14 uu i. na ct lcduu, paralytic polio cases nosedived sensationally. Then apathy set in. Right now, 60 per cent of our population is not properly protected against polio, though there's more than enough vaccine for everybody. Though most of those not fully protected from paralytic polio are adults, 8,500,000 are children under five.

They can decide for themselves. But the children can't. Somehow, they must be protected against the crippling, pain, and death which can be avoided. It is up to us as ClintonLydia Mills parents to make certain that our children receive this life saving serum.

McDaniel, director of the Division of Disease Control, said there have been three times as many cases thus far this year as in a corresponding 1959 period.
