State Has Over 300 Polio Cases Columbia.—Statistics on file at the iSouth Carolina Board of Health show that seven counties have suffer i pproximately 60 per cent of iu lio cases in this state during 1955.

Greenville has been by far the hardest hit county with a total of 81 oases listed as having occurred this year. Anderson county is second with 25 new cases, followed closely by Pickens county with 24 cases; Spartanburg county with 23, and Charleston with 22 new' cases.- Richland with 15 new cases and Laurens with 14 cases were next in line.

General Dozier said the March of Dimes will be conducted as us ual in January to raise funds to take care of the patients, both old cases and new ones, who need help. He emphasized that a great many volunteer workers will be needed in all counties to help in the drive.

Built-in safety is credited by American Motors engineers with a preeminent role in the basic body design of the 1956 Ramblers, which are on display at Ruff Nash Motors, Caldwell street. Executive engineer Ted Ulrich said American Motors created the newest, safest and strongest body in the industry by approach ing the problems of safety and other advanced requirements at the fundamental design level.” “Little can be done about structural safety when it is treat ed as an afterthought,” he said. “The task of engineering great er safety into automobil bodies is primarily the achievement of maximum impact absorption and torsional rigidity, and these fac tors must be built-in. They can not bte hung on. “Impact absorption means the ability of a car structure to soak up the force of collision, so that the car takes the beating instead of the passenger,” Ulrich said. 'Torsional rigidity is the ability to resist distortion, which among other things, twists the car body. increasing the tendency of the doors to fly open under impact.” The new Rambler body is the first, to make basic structural pro vision for new developments, such as air conditioning, as well as embodying the company’s exclu sive single-unit principle of con struction, he said. Ulrich said the Rambler’s unique body construction in which body and frame are a single, all-welded unit, provides the greatest passenger safety under all impact conditions. He pointed out that in American Motors sin gle-unit construction, additional steel structural members extend ahead of the passenger compart ment, providing greater protection. He said: “The three-dimension al frame also affords more pro tection under other types of im pact as well, since the frame is not just under the bddy and at tached to it by bolts, but com pletely surrounds the passenger compartment in every direction. The car Is therefore safer in roll over and safer from side and requ* oollision.” Ulrich said the proven safety of American Motors’ , single-unit construction presages eventual adoption by other matmifacturers in the industry’s efforts to build more safety into motor cars.
