As of December 11, the State Board of Health had a record of 166 cases of polio for 1953 in South Carolina. This compared with 181 cases last year. The state record was 457 cases in 1939. There were no epidemics in this state in 1953, altlujugh one county, Greenville, had more than 40 cases. Eight county chapters which re ceived emergency aid from th.e National Foundation weie Chester, Clarendon, Colleton, Dorchester, Greenville, Greenwood, Lee and Williamsburg. Several other chapt ers had practically exhausted their funds at the year’s close. Grants to these chapters totaled 119,775, compared with $13,850 in 1952. Gamma globulin, a fraction of human blood, used to prevent paralytic pplio, was administered in South Carolina, through the state and county boards of health, to household and neighborhood contacts of all polio patients this year. There were no mass inocula tions of gamma globulin on a com munity-wide scale, as there were in North Carolina with its 870 cases in 1953 or in Alabama, Min nesota and several other states. However, mass inoculations cover ing three grades were given in a school at Union in September and covering two grades at Ware Shoals in December. WHY CHRISTMAS CANDLES? On Christmas Eve the Christ Child wanders all over the earth seeking deserving people—people who are kind and thoughtful of others, and people who have loving hearts. Lighted candles are placed in the windows by such pepple so that He may not stumble and fall. In the course, of His search He visits every castle and hut, ho matter how rocky and rough His path may be. There are two .well-known finishes for automobiles: Lacquer and liquor. \ SERVICE FINANCE CO. S. C. Altman 1506 Main Street Adella B. Summer Helen K.
