Grange later today in the weekly com municable disease report of the U. S. Public Health Service. Natural Decline Final death statistics will not be available for some time. But experts predicted the 40 per cent decline on the basis of figures available for the first nine months of 1955. Deaths for that period were estimated at 640 compared with 1120 for the same period in 1954. Dr. C. C. Dauer, author of the weekly disease report, said his "educated guess" is that about three-fourths of the drop in polio last year was due to a "natural decline in the disease." "Most of the rest was probably due to vaccinations," he said. "But there is no way to be sure because relatively few - persons were inoculated compared to the population as a whole." The case figure for 1955 was considerably lower than the epi demic year of 1952 but still higher than several low postwar years. Here are the previous yearly totals: 1947 10,827; 1948 27,726; 1949 42,033; 1950 43,300; 1951 28,386; 1952 57,879; 1953 35,592; 1954 38,476. Dauer said his guess is that the ratio between paralytic and non-paralytic polio in 1955 re mained about the same as 1954. A precise breakdown is impossi ble, he said, because many cases are not classified. The figures made public today i are provisional. Some corrections us-.ally are necessary and the final, official tally will not be issued for months. FIR SLABWOOD From Dry Decked Logs CALL TIMBERP MEftFORB 2-8086 Company OUftON BIG FIVE TIER LOADS!
