■H Every Man, Womanfand Child
Urged To Take Polio Vaccine
Sponsors of the county wide oral vaccine
against polio, are hopeful that every man, woman
and child above 6 weeks old will come in Sunday
for an oral vaccine that not only prevents the
dreaded disease, polio, but also immunizes you as
a carrier, which medical authorities claim that
many people do, without coming down with polio.
Sponsored by the Johnson County Medical
Association, and in cooperation with the Tarrant
and Dallas Counties drive against the epidemic
that has hit south Texas areas and Dallas county,
Sunday, July 29, and August 5, from 12:00 noon
until 4 p.m., free oral vaccine will be given every-
one at the Farmers and Merchants State Bank in
Burleson. To those that have already had the
polio shots, medical authorities advise to take
this oral one also.
A Grandview man, 11. B. Covington, has asked
The Dispatcher to help him in locating a grave
of his relative, that was buried either in the 187O’s
or 1890’s, somewhere in the northern part of John-
son County. The grave is said to have been in
the front yard of some farm home.
Anyone knowing the whereabouts of a grave
in what is now or used to be the yard of a place,
please advise the editor.
We heard of an old grave on a place south of
Egan, but couldn’t learn name of place. It is pos-
sible that the house has long been tom down,
leaving the grave in a field, pasture or timber.
The buried man was named Jones. No initials
given. It was not George Jones we know.
Joe Gude warns that no one leave the bank
building with one of the cups that contain the
vaccine, as they all must be destroyed by fire. A
doctor will be present to assist in every way pos-
sible. Enough vaccine for 3500 people will be
sent to Burleson, so please do your part by being
in the line this Sunday or August 5th. It’s Free
if you can’t pay.
