Fear Expressed
as Salk Vaccine
Goes Unused
By ALTON BLAKESLEE
NEW YORK, Jan. 9 — The
Salk vaccine has knocked polio
down—but, far from out.
Drop our guard and the crippler
can hit back hard again this sum-
mer or next, health officials warn.
And dropping their guard seems
to be just what the American
public is doing, they say.
Nearly 25 million doses of Salk
vaccine lie unused. Two firms
have already cut back produc-
tion.
Yet only a comparative handful
of children have received three
full shots. Millions of susceptible
children haven't had a single
shot. Many have had only two.
Few adults have taken shots.
Polio felled nearly 16,000 Amer-
cans in 1956. Although the inci-
dence was the lowest since 1947,
nearly 7,000 children and adults
have paralytic polio. (In 1955,
first year of partial use of the
vaccine, there were 28,587 report-
ed cases, with 10,286 paralytic.)
Health officials, nationally, in
cities and states, are aiming at
two goals:
Complete the series of three
shots for youngsters under 20.
Vaccinate adults up to age 40.
Their reasons:
One shot confers some protec-
tion, but it is not complete. Three
shots are needed to bring para-
lytic polio down to the vanishing
point.
About a fourth of reported polio
victims are adults aged 20 to 50.
When adults fall ill, the disease
often is more severe than among
children.
"I personally have seen in-
stances in which both parents in
an age span between 22 and 25
years have been stricken, and
one or both crippled for life," says
Dr. Leroy E. Burney, surgeon-

Reports from
the ASC Office

dation herd until March 15, 1957.
We may be authorized to take ap-

Sheriff Roy Brunson reports-,
that The Highway Department un-
loaded a valuable cargo of metal
at the sheriff's office Monday
of last week. This cargo was the
new 1957 license plates which
will go on sale Friday, Feb. 1st.
A big change was made in the
tags this year as the old color of
black and orange combination
was discarded and the present
tags are white with black num-
erals. The passenger car tags are.
numbered AT4125 to AT5124.
Another item of importance-
noted at the office was the
small number of Poll Tax re-
ceipts issued to date. Through
Thursday of last week 252 Poll
Tax receipts had been issued.
Sheriff Roy Brunson says, "Even
though this is an off-election
year, everyone should pay their
poll tax, for many important
issues could come up during the
year affecting every citizen of
this county. Be sure and pay your
poll tax right away; don't wait
until the deadline January 31st."
Approved Crops for
Acreage Reserve
Acreage Reserve, according to the*
local ASC office, means allotment
crops, such as wheat and cotton in
Armstrong County, that AGREE-
MENTS are approved for 1957 on
acreage designated.
Approved crops: Grain Sorghum,
Sudan Grass, Millet, Sweet Sor-
ghum and perennial grasses and
Legumes, including Sorghum Al-
mum. The Acreage Reserve may be
summer-fallowed and sowed to
wheat in the fall of 1957.
None of the crops grown on the
Acreage Reserve may be harvested
or grazed, however grazing restric-
tions have been lifted through
January 31, 1957.
Any crop that reaches maturity
in the fall of 1957 and the County
Committee believes there is some
likelihood that the crop would be
harvested after expiration date of
the Acreage Reserve Agreement,
then the committee may require
that the crop be destroyed by mow-
ing or by plowing under.
