A Latest On Polio Harrisburg, Pa. —The third and final round in this community's fight to knock out the threat of poliomyelitis was scheduled last week when more than 100,000 per- sons of all ages turned out again for the Sabin oral polio vaccine in a mass immunization program being conducted by the Dauphin Medical Society with the support of allied health groups and numerous local volunteers. The campaign Spent April 6, attracting 91,320 persons during the two-day administration of the vaccine (Type I). Some 85,000 of these participants returned last month for the second dose (Type III) along with 25,000 persons who came out for the first time and will be given an opportuni swallow the Type I vaccine special makeup session in the ! Dr. Thomas F. Fletcher, chair- man of the subcommittee on child health of the Dauphin Medical Soc- iety, called the “enthusiasm”for the program remarkable. He noted that usually there is a marked decline in the number who participate in an immunization program that re- quires a series of vaccinations. This has not been the case here despite inclement weather during the sec- ond round. The Harrisburg program, fourth major study of the Sabin vaccine in this country, is being conducted to gather data for licens- ing the vaccine for general use. Al- though laboratory information is being compiled from only about one percent of the participants, the vac- cine is being supplied free for the entire program by Chas. Pfizer & Co., from the three types of virus strains isolated by Dr. Albert, B. Sabin of the University of Cincinnati Col- lege of Medicine. Another program is in process in Boston and Brookline, Mass, where the respective public health depart- ments have administered Pfizer's Sabin waccine to 4,000 persons. The Dauphin County Medical Soc- iety is hopeful that the program here will serve as a pilot for com- munities throughout the nation when the vaccine becomes avai- lable—possibly this fall. Dr. Frank Procopio, chairman of the public relations committee of the county society, reports that the 110,000 wvaccinees were accommo- dated quickly and efficiently at 15 “Sabin Stations.” The county society is using schools, hospitals, the |.

Children Aren't The Only Victims Of Drowning Drowning victims are not by a long sight just little children or showoff teenagers. And most victims are not swimming in the water when they fall prey to a killer that takes roughly 6,400 lives a year. The National Safety Council points to those frequently twisted facts as two of the misconceptions many persons have about drown- ings. No one should be lulled by false facts into thinking — over the Fourth of July holiday or any time in the year — that because he’s in the prime of life, or just walking near water, he-is in no danger of drowning. Many grown persons — nearly 1,500 25-44 years of age alone — drown, each year. Four out of five victims are males. And only about 2,400 of the year’s 6,400 drownings happen to persons swimming or playing in the water.

If, despite all your precautions over the holiday, ‘a water emer- gency should arise, what do water safety experts recommend you do? — Throw a person struggling in the water anything that will float — a board, branch, large thermos jug. ’ — Or, hold something out to him — an oar, ‘branch, end of a piece of rope, even a sweat shirt.
