MEDIUM , DOUGLAS COUNTY'S IBff Oregon's Salk Vaccine Shot Program Postponed (Continued" from Page One) when asked' a second time, said a postponement this time might mean cancellation until fall. At McMinville, 16 per cent of the parents who had authorized inoculations; sent in cancellations, taking their children out of the free program for first and second graders. ' ' - Dr. Samuel B. Osgood, slate epidemiologist, said that from these county actions and. the surgeon general's statement, 1 1 , would be "reasonable" to conclude that the postoonement would be ordered by the State Board of Health. He said Ihere really was no reason for it, though, aside from the confusion which grew up around the program. But. he said, "It would not be fair to the people of Oregon to go ahead when half i o'. them are scared." With the oostponement a virtual certaintv, the question of when inoculations would be given re mained unanswered. Some medical men expressed the v iew that the mechanics of lining un the program was so difficult that postponement now meant virtual cancellation so far as this nolio season is concerned. Others thought it could go ahead and the second shot needed two lo four weeks after the first could be given even after start of summer school vacation. 1.50 1.75 for Granted !
