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 DALLAS POST,
THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1961
By Edward Collier
When you take to the high-
‘way, there’s one sure rule for
travel enjoyment — try each
area’s food specialties. In your
Magic Circle of interesting
things to do, you always have a
bonus of exotic foods. In West-
ern U.S.A. steak is tops—and
often served at breakfast with
brown potatoes—rainbow trout,
strawberries, hot biscuits and
brown gravy, gooseberry and
fried fruit pies.
} = Many Western states go in,
on occasion, for pioneer dishes:
Oklahoma — corn meal Squaw
Bread, rabbit in brown gravy;
New Mexico—hot, highly spiced
Mexican favorites; Wyoming’s
wild game even includes bear
meat; Missouri’s strawberry
pie; South Dakota — buffalo
Swiss steaks; Minnesota—wild
fowl and native wild rice; Ne-
braska — pork and potato pie,
Sandhill watermelons.
Other unusual delicacies:
Washington’s clam, the 10-pound
goeduck; Idaho’s celebrated
baked potatoes; Utah, the “Bee-
hive State”, produces fragrant
honey; North Dakota a bacon,
eggs and corn omelet called
Squaw Dish; California and Or-
egon, delectable seafoods of all
kinds.
Arizona home-grown sweets
range from date concoctions and
mesquite honey to grapefruit pie
and eactus candy.
Learn To Swim! 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.
These observations come as the

nation is busy preparing for Fourth
of July fun. The holiday, which
falls on Tuesday this year, will last
four days for some persons, -one
day for others.
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.
Best way to help make sure such
emergencies don’t occur?
Learn to swim! Even if you're
middle-age, . you're certainly not
past danger from drowning — and
neither is it too late for you to
learn to swim.
