Polio Foundation Plans For Program To Test Vaccine 500,000 to Million School Children Involved In Mass Vaccination A nationwide study to determine the effectiveness of a polio vaccine in preventing paralytic polio will get un derway in one or more southern states during the week of February 8, 1954. This study is announced by Basil O’Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. In a gradually expanding program, more than two hundred counties throughout the United States will be involved before the mass vaccination project ends by June 1, 1954. Dur ing that period, 500,000 to 1,000,000 school children of the second grade will have taken part in one of the lar gest studies of its kind ever under taken. Participation will be on a vol untary basis with the consent of the child’s parents or legal guardians. Fi nal results of the evaluation study are not exoected unt>'l snmp time in 1955. In general, school children of the second grade will be vaccinated dur ing a non-epidemic period and then observed during a subsequent polio epidemic to evaluate the protective ef fects of the vaccine. The basic factor for determining the protective effects of the vaccine will be a comparison of the incidence of paralytic polio in the vaccinated group with that of chil dren in the first and third school grades. In announcing the vaccine study, Mr. O’Connor emphasized that the uniqueness of the project was not merely its size. “For the past six teen years.” he said, “millions of Americans have actively supported scientists in the laboratory helping them create this new potential weap on against polio. And now they will continue that cooperation and help prove whether we have really reach- I GREAT I I OAK I I HE!! whiskey I I ——- SFy _ ■ $2.00 1 3| j mm $3-2o j iBP | ■ AustindNichols i 6Co.SK he.

BUNCH SHERIFF OF CHOWAN COUNTY - - ■ l6Ynry“^^ Here’s how your March of Dimes contributions were expended during the 16-year history of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. In 1954, there will be a new, costly and epic fourth front opened:] Polio Prevention. It will Include gamma globulin and trials of a test polio vaccine. Cost of this alone: $26,500,000. The other programs continue, too. This Is why the 1954 March of Dimes must be the most | successful ever. Contribute gep»ro'i*'v through the month of Januaryw ed our goal—the conquest of polio.” In the counties selected for the study, local physicians will adminis- i ter the vaccine under the supervision < of the county health officer. Mem- ; bers of the National Foundation’s 3,-1 100 chapters will participate as volun-l teers in providing the many non-pro- j fessional services required in the vaccinations. Other community and civic groups also will play a leading role in easing the task of vaccinating a half million or more children in hundreds of communities throughout the nation. The two hundred or more counties to be included in the vaccine validity study are being selected mainly on the basis of a previous polio history that will provide a statistically sig nificant result. Weekly Devotional] Column j By James Mackenzie V An extremely important article ap peared recently in the “Biblical Re- j eorder,” which is the official publi-l cation of the North Carolina .State j Convention of the Southern Baptist j (Missionary Baptist)' denomination, ; It Was unique in that, while it ap- j peared in a Baptist paper, it was ( copied from a Methodist paper, and quoted an Episcopal Bishop, and the moderator of the Northern Presby terian Churcii, and the president of Princeton Seminary, which. I believe, is the largest Protestant seminary in the United States, Further, it touch ed upon a political issue, and Baptists are notorious for refusing to meddle in politics. The political issue was the recent, ill-fated attempt by a non-Protestant Senator to use his position to dishon | estly smear some 7,000 Protestant 1 ministers as communists, or commun THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1954. ist dupes. This was an attack on Protestantism as such, not upon mod ernism, or fundamentalism; and it was a deliberate, organized, below-the-belt attempt by members of another faith | to falsify the facts of history, which i testify unanimously that Protestant j ism always has been, and still is, the t mother of democracy, and the only successful foe of dictatorship. For example, our American ideal of senaration of Church and State, of which the senator seems to be ignor ant, is primarilv a Raptist ideal. All the great social reforms of the past century and a half are a direct out growth of the Methodist revival.- And, I blush to mention it. our American concept of government, a representa tive democracy, with three branches, and two legislative houses, is pattern ed after the government of the Pres i byterian Church. Indeed, our modem [ concept of democracy itself, as well as ; our capitalistic system, stem from the . theology and the economic philosophy of that great Christian, John Calvin. ' Further, one look at a map of the world will convince anyone who is I neither blind to truth nor hopelessly stupid that it is the Protestant coun tries which are making the stand against communism, and the non-Pro- I testant countries which have succumb led to it. Italy, fhr example, 99.7 per | cent of whose population belongs to a j non-Protestant denomination, has the largest communist party outside of [ Russia, and would have long-sinre turned communist had it not been for economic assistance from Protestant America; As long as the senator from Wisconsin wishes to investigate Communist dupes within the church es,. I suggest he begin with his own denomination. It was the head of the senator’s denomination who un wittingly played into communist hands by urging our president to spare the lives of convicted communist spies, Julius and Ethel Rosenburg (sticking bis roman nose into some thing that is none of his business, by the way, since “His Holiness” is not an American citizen, and therefore in no position to tell us how to run our government). Three cheers and a box of sugar candy to a Baptist paper that has the courage to tell the truth, even at the cost of humbling itself and quoting a Methodist, an Episcopalian, and, let’s face it, a Presbyterian. Army Man To ‘Look Sharp* With New Socks The Army is dressing up its enlist ed man all the way down to his toes. Realizing that the soldier wants to look sharp from head to toe when | he leaves the barracks, the Army has taken steps to provide a G.I. sock 1 which dresses up the enlisted man’s i uniform. The old sock was an “admirable foot covering” but contributed noth ing to the soldier’s appearance, the National Association of Hosiery Man ufacturers notes. The new sock is a handsome rib bed style made of the finest mer cerized cotton yam. Hosiery experts I have been working with the Army I for months to get the best possible C. H.
