Plans Being Made For
Polio Vaccine Program
WHOSE FARM IS THIS?
■Detailed plans are now being
worked out for the possible ad
ministration of polio vaccine to
approximately 2,000 Laurens
county children in public and
private schools who will be eli
gible to receive the vaccine if li
censed, according to Dr. J. C.
Sease, head of the county health
department
Whether the children will re
ceive the vaccine depends upon
the findings of scientists now
evaluating results of the tests
made last year. It will not be
known for sure whether it really
prevents paralytic polio until
April when the results of the
evaluation study now being con
ducted at the University of Mich
igan are released.
Under the direction, of the
State Health Department Dr.
Sease has ben conferring with
school authorities and physicians
who have pledged their full co
operation, he said. If the “go
ahead” signal is given, he said,
the program will proceed with
the desire to start the vaccinat.
t ing at once, so that, if posible, it
can be finished before schools
close for the summer vacation
and the “polio season” starts.
The’ vaccine is given in three
injections. The second follows
the first by one week, and the
third is a month after the sec
ond.
“Vaccine wuold be given by
the health department this
spring only to those eligible
children whose parents sign
forms requesting it," Dr. Sease
added. “It is a completely vol
untary program. The forms will
be distributed through the
schools to ascertain as soon as
possible how many eligible chil
dren must be provided for, if the
program is carried out If the
vaccine is not licensed there will
be no program.
W. E. Bell Farm

Week's Series

The farm home place shown
last week was that of W. S. Bell,
well known fanner end dtigae

Cox Home & Auto
Formal Opuniog
For Three Pays
Cox Home and Auto Supply
company is holding a formal
opening event today, tomorrow
and Saturday in their new loca
tion, 205 North Broad street.
The store recently moved into
the remodeled and improved
quarters and Robert J. Cox, pro
prietor, has issued an invitation
to all friends and customers to
visit the store for the special
occasion.
Souvenirs will be given all
those attending in addition to
eight free prizes to the holders of
lucky Cegitration tickets. Draw
ing will be held Saturday, the 26,
at six o’clock. In the advertis
ing columns of today’s paper the
firm is offering during the event
a number of items at special
prices.
The 1954 vaccine trials involv
ed 1,830,000 school children, of
whom 440,000 received vaccine
in studies sponsored by the Na
tional Foundation. The March
of Dimes organization has con
tracted for $9,000,000 worth of
vaccine to be used this spring
if the vaccine is licensed. This
commitment has assured an im
mediate supply of vaccine and
has helped keep pharmaceutical
houses tooled up for full produc
tion while waiting for the evalu
ation report. It also will make
possible vaccine for distribution
to physicians through usual
channels.
The National Foundation sup
ply is being distributed without
charge for the product to State
Health officers across the coun
try. It wll be offered to all chil
dren in first and second grades
of public, private and parochial
schools whose parents request it.
They have been chosen because
of high polio incidence in these
age groups and their accessibil
ity in schools.
Complaint Filed
Against Clinton
On Water Project
Extension of the City of Clin
ton’s water supply source is head
ed for at least a probable tempo
rary hold-up, according to a sum
mons and complaint filed Saturday
in the clerk of court’s office.
According to the document,
Bryan Goodwin, and others simi
larly situated if they choose to
come in, is bringing an action to
enjoin perpetually the City |of
Clinton from “turning or divert
ing” the natural flow of an un
named branch flowing into Dun
can’s creek “from its natural chan
nels thereof across and over the
lands of the plaintiff,” and such
other and further relief as may be
just.
The City of Clinton has already
begun construction of a dun
across Duncan’s creek to enlarge
a water supply that became near
ly exhausted in the drought of last
summer.
The plaintiff sat forth' in his
complaint that he is in the dairy
business on lands adjacent to Dun
can’s creek and that he has re
parian rights along the branch
emptying into the creek after it
leaves his property. He alleges the
dam “would completely stop” the
natural flow of water of “said un
named watercourse, branch, creek
or streams from the lands of said
plaintiff and which would nop or
damage the flow of the surface
waters from the watershed above
his property. He alleged further
that the defendants plan to “di
vert” the water of the said stream
so as to cause it to empty into
Duncan’s creek without coming
