South Carolina is probably
not where you think it is.
For example, the closest salt
water ports to Chicago, 111. are
Charleston, Georgetown and
Port Royal right here in the
Palmetto State. That makes
the mid-western states area
closer to South Carolina ports
than any others in the east.
And by the way, South
Carolina's not in the east.
Oconee County, for instance,
is west of Detroit, Michigan.
Actually South Carolina is
completely west of eight of
the 11 Atlantic Seaboard
states.
But if not in the east, there's
no doubt that South Carolina
is in the south?part of it is
below the northern border of
Mexico!
Look it up.

Polio ? Lump It
December 8th is the date
set for the second "Sweet
Sabbath" oral polio vaccine
feeding in Laurens County.
Nearly 18,000 people in School
District 56 ate the tasteless
vaccine on sugar cubes at the
first feeding held in the
schools, October 27.
Three drops of the vaccine
begins a permanent and painless
immunization against
three types of polio. This vaccine
is necessary to eliminate
polio because even if the Salk
vaccine has rendered a person
immune to polio, he may still
be a carrier of the polio virus
and thus transmit polio to
others without actually having
polio himself.
