i { Ry ARR en EAT se 0) - THE POST, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1948 PAGE THREE — THE LOW DOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE = 8 More and more I get dubious about where we are coming out--this U.S.A. I mean—this land of the free and easy. This prodigal goings-on of our boss- men ‘in Govt., it is past being something to shrug off. Every page ~ the paper tells about more cash being dished into this or into that--no end. Today there are 2 items. One is for $43,431,000 bucks for. the Hungry Horse power house in Montana and the other is for a 64,000,000 bucks loan to the UN for a new building. And it is a 100 to 1 shot that neither of the loans will ever be paid off. A typical day, I calls it.t But some of these times we are going to get the feeling that the camel had on ‘that final day when the last straw was piled on-- and his legs buckled. The wait may not be too long. But there is always a hope that maybe Mr. Massachusett’s Joe Martin or that old Virginia gent, Mr. Byrd, or some other such level-headed person who figures that the U.S.A. is still worth saving and knows how to wrangle it, will be our next boss-man. There is no law against hoping--so folks, join in, let's hope-- also vote. Yours with the low down, JO SERRA Cameron County is the smallest in population in the State.

Schools For the second year, all students, faculty, and empbyees of the King- ston Township 5chools have re- ceived a complete medical and Sour} tal examination. v When the State law was passed there was a question of how dental or medical corrections could be met for students whose parents were not financially able to provide the correction. During the two years the new State Health program has been in effect, necessary corrections have been made through financial aid from local organizations and from the State Department of Pub- lic Assistance.

It is always with us, though no one knows where it will strike nor how severely.” Highest toll of infantile paralysis in Pennsylvania occurred in 1916 when 2181 cases were reported. In 1932, a total of 1111 were stricken while in 1942 there were 742 cases of which number 102 were in York County alone.
