Children Need Polio Protection More than 90,000 South Caro lina elementary school children in grades 1-4 need additional pro tection against polio, according to a State Board of Health official. “This means that almost half of the youngsters we ’re sending to school could conceivably come home one day with the disease which used to scare people half- to-death,” Dr. Donald!!. Robin son said. Dr. Robinson, chief of Pre ventive Health Services, com mented also that at least 140,000 children in grades 1-4 are in completely protected against diphtheria and tetanus. Bureau of the Census figures indicate that 12,500 children in the same category have never had a diphtheria and tetanus shot. "Immunization is the only pro tection our children have," Dr. Robinson said. “We don’t want anyone to panic and we don't sug gest that people organize Polio Sundays or any other mass cam paigns. “However we do recommend that parents check their child ren’s shot records and, if neces sary, bring them up-to-date. “We urge parents to ask their family doctor or county health department now for a tetanus shot," he said. There has been only one case of polio in the Palmetto State since 1965, but officials expect scattered cases to occur at any time. South Carolina experienced a diphtheria epidemic in 1966. The year Richland County’s 22re ported cases were the most for any county in the United States. Only one case of tetanus has been reported in the state this year. * * + National Farm Safety Week - National Farm Safety Week is July 20-26.
