Chance of Polio Infection Placed At 4 of 5 by Recent Research If you are over 15 years of age the chances are four out of five that you have already been in fected with the polio virus. Tail statement — starling as it may seem — is based on prevail ing scientific opinion, according to Otto H. H. Petersen chairman of tie Columbia County Chapter A COSTLY CRASH Your car will come out “second best” if it tangles with a telephone pole. You will find the repair bills are “plenty.” Add collision damage to your Comprehensive Automobile policy and all such losses will be paid. Consult this Hartford agency NOW about com plete protection for your car. VERNONIA INSURANCE BILL J. HORN. AGENT 905 Bridge Street Phone 231, Vernonia of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. In a review of a recent re search report from national head quarters, Mr. Petersen revealed that March of Dimes scientists came to this conclusion after completing sample surveys to de tect polio antibodies in the blood of normal persons. Mr. Petersen explained that the presence of polio antibodies in the blood re sult from some previous contact with the polio virus. “Fully 80 per cent of normal adults tested showed the pre sence of polio anti-bodies in their blood streams," Mr. Petersen de clared. "Scientists now believe polio is much more widespread than the actual reported number of cases would indicate. In most of the individuals tested, there was no known previous history of polio. Scientists feel that the majority of these infections were of the unrecognizable, subclinical type which produces no symp toms at all or symptoms so mild that they cannot be diagnosed." Scientists believe tnat these subclinical polio infections are fortunate, Mr. Petersen explained inasmuch as it is this type of repeated exposure which can build up strong resistance to the disease. Without such protection, Mr. Petersen pointed out. polio would be an even greater tragedy than it now is. He added that more than $11.000,000 in March of Dimes funds have already been spent in seeking a preven tive to the disease and to mini mize its crippling after effects. Paul A. Gordon is heading the drive for funds which, is current ly underway and will continue to the end of this month.
