Salk Anti-Polio Vaccine Program
Stalled in About Half of Cities
By UNITED PRESS
The Salk anti-polio inocula
tion program has slowed down
so that only about half the na
tion's communities have gone
ahead with the second shots or
plan to do so during the remain
ins summer weeks.
A shortage of vaccine, the
scattering of children on their
mmmer holiday, the vacation
absence of doctors, nurses. 'teach
ers and clerical help and a re
luctance on the part of many
parents to go ahead with the sec
ond shot in the polio season are
the reasons.
The United Press polled its
bureaus across the nation to find
out what the countrywide situa
tion is.
It discovered that, in general,
the Western states are tending
more to go ahead with complet
ing second shots than other sec
tions of the country.
In New England the situation
is simply that the states have
not received sufficient vaccine
yet for second shots.
In California, on the other
hand, 31 of the 58 counties al
ready have completed the sec
ond shots. Los Angeles, how
ever, has not yet decided wheth
er it will finish the program.
Second Shots in Texas
Texas is going ahead with
second shots. Fort V.'orth is the
only big town there to hold out
for fall inoculations. Houston
had planned a mass vaccination
in the city"s ball park but now
has decided to distribute the vac
cine to 24 clinics instead.
Illinois has called off the en
tire program until "after Nov. 1
or later' Chicago administered
the first shot, then decided not
to give the second because of
polio incidence in summer. The
stocks of vaccine have been put
in storage.
In the southeastern states, the
majority of communities are go
ing ahead with the program.
Georgia reports, however, about
40 per cent absenteeism on sec
ond shots. Inoculations in Lou
isiana dropped from 87,919 the
first time to 52,500, due mostly
to the difficulty of getting chil
dren together.

I soon as it gets sufficient vaccine,
i The state legislature voted S2,
' 000.000 to give all children free
j shots. State Health Commission
I er Dr. Albert Heustis said "we
! are not afraid of the vaccine end
apparently Michigan parents are
not afraid of it either."
New York has not received
enough vaccine to go ahead. In
New Jersey many communities
have postponed the program un
til after the polio season.
'Wait and See' Attitude
In Indiana most towns are
adopting a "wait and see' policy.
Of 30 counties offered vaccine
for the second round, 10 turned
it down because of children
being on vacation.
In Nebraska, Dr. Edwin Ly
man, Omaha health director, is
making no plans until more vac
cine is received. "Residents are
confused and disgusted with the
way the vaccine situation has
been handled," he said.
In Iowa only two counties
have completed second shots.
Des Moines health groups recom
mended postponement until fall.
North and South Dakota are
going ahead. Most communities
in Pennsylvania will give second
shots as soon as they get vaccine.
But in Minnesota, Tennessee,
Maryland, Delaware and most
of Ohio the program will not be
resumed until schools reopen. St.
Louis is another of the big cities
which will wait until autumn.
The Washington, D. C, Medi
cal Advisory Committee recom
mended against giving shots in
the polio season. Also officials
in the capital felt they could
round up only about half the
children.

FIRE BURNS WATER!
Yet, forest Area not only destroy
timber, they seriously damage our
water supply, too. When the for
est floor and tree are burned,
rainfall does not seep into the soil
to reappear as clear pure streams.
It is lost in flood run-off. Such
water is heavily silted. It pollutes '
streams, fills reservoirs with mud,
and kills fish. Water is already
short in many areas and becoming
to in many others. So protect our
forests an important factor ia
our water supply.
