o SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, November 22, 1955 The Polio Vaccine; Qyestions, Answers Following is the last in a series of five articles dealing with questions and answers on the Salk anti-polio vaccine. The art . icles were prepared by the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and released through the Jackson county chapter. Q. "Why were there delays in the 1955 school vaccination pro gram? A. Some delay was inevitable, since no new medical product can be produced instantly for all who want it. The National Foundation ordered 59,000,000 worth of vaccine before the ev aluation results were known, but full-scale production for gen eral use had to await the Fran cis Report. In addition, the new and more stringent testing reg ulations drawn up by the Public Health Service necessitated re testing of some existing vaccine and the establishment of length ier new procedures for the man ufacture and testing of subse quent vaccine. Q. Is gamma globulin the same as polio vaccine? A. No, it is derived from hu man blood which contains polio fighting antibodies. It is a tem porary preventive only, its effect lasting from five to eight weeks, but it acts immediately after in jection. If given before exposure lo the virus, there is considerable evidence that GG is effective in preventing paralytic polio. If given shortly after exposure (within a very few days) it may reduce severity of any paraly Story enchantment for you... for every child: THE FAIRY DOLL" It's a delightful Christmas tairy story that could truly have happened to your four- IJ ItTL T7- Tll 11 3 car-oiu. .. i ne r airy uuu, by Rumer Goddcn. 4 JS Every day is Christmas A with 10 adopted children and 3 of their own tfy Learn why the Carotas, of JVf Berkeley, decided a big fami- ly was their destiny. . . how m they happily manage on his yt salary of $480 a month as an AW atomic engineer at the Uni versity of California . . . why J7 they simply asked for "any SU child who needs a home" in "No Place Like Home at ft Christmas." ;V CHRISTMAS MENUS FROM Colonial SIUilliaTnsbuTg r Treat your family to a real old-fashionedChristmaswith these- simplified, rare old recipes from the greatest cooks of Colonial Virginia.

The National Foundation also has a supply, purchased with March of Dimes funds, available without charge upon request of state or local health officers for use in epi demics. March of Dimes gamma globulin has been used in scores of communities in 1955. Q. What research still is need ed ing the vaccine field? A. March of Dimes research is continuing to improve the Salk vaccine, to find out how long its effect lasts, to determine the best times and sizes of doses for long-lasting protection, to find out if occasional booster shots are needed over the years, and to discover more effective strains of virus for the vaccine. Also, experiments are under way to find more readily available cells in which virus for vaccine may be grown, and eliminate the need for expensive monkeys whose kidneys now are used to grow the virus. Other types of vaccine also are being sought. Q. What is a live virus vac cine for polio? A. It is another type of vac cine, still in the experimental stage, which would consist of live strains of polio virus which have lost their ability to cause disease, but would retain the ab ility to stimulate antibody pro duction. The smallpox vaccine, commonly used, is such a pre paration. No live virus polio vac cine now exists for practical use, but March of Dimes work to ward one continues. Q. Can a live virus vaccine and a "dead" virus be used to gether? A. Theoretically, yes. It has been suggested that the final answer to polio prevention may come from an injection of a vac cine like Dr. Salk's, followed by an injection of live virus vac cine. This procedure is being studied, but obviously must wait for the development of a suitable live virus preparation. Q. What did it cost to develop the vaccine? A. Records at the National Foundation indicate that S25, 500,000 was used in supporting virus research and the vaccine field trial up to April 12, 1955. This includes research done by many scientists over many years. The 1954 field trial alone re quired $7,500,000 in March of Dimes funds. Dr. Salk's work has been supported by nearly $2 000.000 and his laboratory is re. ceiving March of Dimes funds for his present research on im provement of the vaccine. Q. When will adequate sup plies of the vaccine be avail able? A. This is impossible to pre dict. Manufacturers are in large scale production and, as lots are cleared by the Public Health Service, supplies are going io the states under the government al plan for voluntary control. The. National Foundation has concluded its summer program but is supplying vaccine for sec ond shots in schools for children who did not receive them.

Swen son said he noticed Richard Sauer, 44, acting suspiciously in the bank lobby Monday and asked Sauer what he was doing. "You'd better call the FBI and police," Swenson quoted Sauer, "I was just about to hold up your bank." Police, who arrested Sauer on suspicion of bank robbery, said they found in his pocket a toy plastic gun with "Dragnet" stamped on one side and "Badge 714" on the other side. KMED Files Suit To Recover Taxes Radio Medford yesterday brought suit in Federal court in Portland to recover SI, 522 in in come taxes from the govern ment. The corporation claims it was taxed at too high a rate for an agreement made when it pur chased Medford radio station KMED from Blanche Virgin Randle in 1950. The agreement, representing some S82,000 of the S290,000 sale price, stipulated that Mrs. Randle would not engage in a competitive operation within 10 miles of Medford for 10 years. The federal government col lected taxes at regular rates, but the corporation said the agreement with Mrs. Randle should have been subject to tax concessions, and asks for a refund. Driver Injured When Car Overturns A Modesto, Calif., man was in jured early today when the car he was driving skidded and -overturned on Highway 99 between Rogue River and Grants Pass, according to state police. Driver of the car was Clyde B. Haddock, 43. He told police he was traveling north at about 50 miles an hour. The car went onto the shoulder of the highway and then went out of control, skid ding and turning completely over. Passengers in the car were the driver's wife, Exa, 39, and their three children, Francis, 19, Roger, 18 and Louie 8. The fam ily was taken to Sacred Heart hospital. Haddock received a broken collar bone. The others were re leased after a checkup. Morristown, 111.

Roth was charg ed with driving his car along a five-mile stretch of railroad track thinking it was a "short cut." port Pope HessrH 'True, Disf inetf Voice of Christ Unconfirmed by Vatican Vatican City (U.R) Italy's leading newspaper reported to day that Pope Pius XIII heard the "true and distinct" voice of Christ during a vision as he lay near death last December. The Corriere della Sera of Mi lan, the nation's influential and biggest circulation newspaper, said the Pope had told this to a group of 20 "qualified accle siasts." There was no immediate con firmation of the report in au thoritative Vatican quarters. Details Eagerly Sought Inquiries brought only terse "no comments" as the Catholic world eagerly sought more de tails of the second supernatural experience reported for the Pope in the past five years. The Corriere della Sera ver sion was the first which added any purported details to those disclosed in the Italian weekly magazine Oggi last Saturday. The Vatican confirmed the Oggi version Monday. The semi-official Vatican or gan Osservatore Romano still had not mentioned reports of the vision. Pope Pius' confirmation of the Oggi reports already had in creased the likelihood that he will someday be proclaimed a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. To Weigh Importantly The Vision, announced by the Vatican press office on the au thority of the Pope himself, was the second attributed to the Roman-born pontiff, now 79 years old and in the 17th year of his reign. Vatican quarters said the vi sions would weigh importantly in the eventual cause to beatify and later to canonize Pius XII. Ordinarily, to be beatified, a person must have inspired two miracles during his lifetime or after his death and two addi tional miracles between his beatification and his canoniza tion. Saw Sun Rotate The first vision attributed to the Pope was announced by Federico Cardinal Tedeschini at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fa tima in Portugal. He said during the 1950 Holy Year the Pope had seen the sun rotate on three oc casions just as reported by three shepherd seeing a Mary at 1917. children who told of vision of the Virgin the Fatima shrine in EX-LOOK EDITOR WEDS Los Angeles (U.R) Fleur Cowles, who resigned recently as associate editor of Look mag azine, has married British lum berman Tom Meyer here after obtaining a Mexican divorce from Gardner Cowles, it was dis closed today.

Q. Is polio conquered yet? A. No. But we now know its control is feasible. When sup plies allow vaccination for all those in the most susceptible groups, we should see a dimin ishing rate of paralytic polio. But large numbers of cases are occurino in 1955 and there mav be many cases in 195G. The Na tional Foundation will continue its research and professional ed ucation programs, and must con tinue to provide care for the many patients for whom the vac cine came too late.
