Polio Vaccine Yet Necessary
To Preserve Ground Gained
Because the vaccine against
polio has been widely used,
paralytic poliomyelitis has
practically disappeared from
the U.S. To be sure we con
tinue to be free from this disease
it is necessary to per sue regu
lar immunizations of all chil
dren ip. early infantry.
Polio vaccine was first in^
troduced in 1955, with the oral
vaccine in three different types
introduced in 1961 and 1962,
and the tri-valent oral vaccine
introduced in 1963. A national
survey made in September, 1966
showed that 70% of the children
one to four years of age had
been vaccinated against polio
myelitis either with the oral
vaccine or by injection. It was
found that in the five-year age
group and older, 90% had been
adequately vaccinated, that is
given enough basic and booster
doses to produce adequate im
munization. Therefore, we see
that this vaccine is highly suc
cessful; however, in some areas
of the country the rate of

The National Planning Asso

drain population from the rural
areas during the next eight
years. The report said some 73

metropolitan areas by 1975.
vaccination is much lower than
this average.
In the week ending August
19th, there had been only two
parylitic cases of polio. For
the first 33 weeks of 1967,
there had been in the UJS. a
total of 22 cases with 19 of
r>thesfe^pe»ylitic. These reports
are most encouraging when we
look at 1964 when there was
a total of 18,308 cases in the
UJS. and in 1965 when there was
a total of only 61 cases. So
far this year, 1967, in the first
33 weeks as quoted above there
was a total of 22 cases as
compared with year before for
the same weeks of 61 cases;
the same as in 1965. In 1966
there was a total in the UJS.
and Puerto Rico of 108 parylitic
polio cases, these mainly oc
curing in Southern Texas in
children less than five years
of age, mainly who had never
been immunized with polio
agents and even one dose.
Three doses (usually given
on sugar) of the oral tri-valent
vaccine will produce an immune
responce in well over 90% of
all vaccinated. So far this year,
there has been only one case
of parylitic poliomyelitis in
North Carolina.

so well controlled is tetanus

ON VETERAN BENEFITS
The Senate has sent to the
President a bill that would
increase veterans pensions,
provide additional benefits for
Vietnamese war veterans, and
broaden the scope of the cold
war G.I. Bill. It is said the pro
visions in the bill go beyond
the President's budget.
Back in 1890 the Biltmores
put up a $4,000,000 home in
Asheville, North Carolina At
today's costs, think what you
would pay for a similar house.
On the other hand, why think
about it? There just isn’t that
much money.
You may not be putting up
a million-dollar home for your
family but we ll bet you’re
thinking of their welfare all
the time. And what better way
than to set up a Farmers and
Traders Life family insurance
savings plan that offers in one
policy for one premium, family
protection and retirement
benefits? This is the kind of
"Personalized Insurance" that
is Farmers and Traders trade
mark. Should this sound
promising to you, let me give
you details.
