Then, tired and wet, he started for home, and having the heater on in his car, became drowsy. When the car jolted on the rocks at the edge of the river he awoke and had the presence of mind to open the car door.

"Second, we must make sure that funds are available to con tinue the important research which will ultimately make polio a disease of the past." She added that the Salk vac cine is rated between 60 and 90 per cent effective and re search is now going on to make the vaccine 100 per cent effec tive, or possibly find an even better vaccine.
