A LIFT FOR TODAY
“ Man shall not live by bread alone.—Matt. 4:4.
We do not inherit immortality. Eternal life is
a reward from God to those who, through prayer,
worship and obedience, have lived a God-directed
life.
Merciful Father, may we not dwarf our souls
with the material, but fill our hearts with the
Truth and Light of Thy Love.
It Can Happen Again
Have you forjsotten what a polio epidemic
is like? Let this description of what hap
pened in a single state, frcm a recent speech
by Raymond H. Barrows, executive director
of the National Foundation for Infantile Pa
ralysis, refresh your memory: “People were
cleaning their houses, raking up their lawns,
discussing summer vacations on that warm
spring, dav when four hospitals admitted pa
tients suffering from high fevers and paraly
sis.
“Still that wasn’t enough to alarm anybody.
Four cases don’t make an epidemic. But as
May passed; the dread word ‘polio’ began
creeping into backyard conversations. By
June polio had made its presence known with
smashing effect. Hospitals began frantical
ly checking their equipment and facilities.
“July became a nightmare as the weekly
number of cases passed well over a hundred.
By early August the word ‘polio’ blazed daily
in newspaper headlines. That week 211 new
cases were reported. Public gatherings were
banned. Summer camps closed. Vacations
were cancelled. Patients were bedded in hos
pital corridors. New words crept into the
daily vocabulary: ‘hot pack machines’. ‘To
ronto splints’, ‘isolation gowns', ‘iron lungs’.
The National Foundation recruited 718 nurs
es and 81 physical therapists from other areas
annd rushed them into epidemic centers. Po
lio chapters spent $431,000 and the National
Foundation’s New York office advanced more
than a million and a half.
“Volunteers gave their time and energy un
til the bitter end—and the end came all too
slowly. Not till late September did the week
ly case load drop below 100. The last case
of the year was reported just before Christ
mas. Health authorities then totaled up the
damage: 2,516 persons stricken, 143 of them
dead.”
That was in the state of North Carolina
in 1948.
Last year, in contrast, the U. S. had no polio
epidemics. To the Salk vaccine and the 65
million Americans who have been vaccinated
goes the credit.
But with three out of seven Americans still
unvaccinated, polio epidemics can happen
again. For the National Foundation warns
that paralytic polio cannot be really wiped
out until every person under 40 has had his
full series of Salk vaccine shots.
If you are one of those who haven’t, don’t
fake a chance. Get your vaccination now.

Commencement exercises be
gan Friday night when a delight
ful program was presented by the
Senior High Mixed Chorus, the
Junior Choir, the Treble Clef
Club and the school band. The
various portions of the program
were under the direction of Mrs.
Mary L. Browning and Miss Lula
Williams.
Sunday night the commence
ment sermon was preached by the
Rev. J. Earl Richardson, pastor
of the Methodist Church. Mr.
Richardson spoke to the graduat
ing class on the subject “Who Am
I?” He referred to the book of
Genesis, “So God created man
in his own image, in the image
of God he created him, male and
female he created them.”
The answer to the question, Mr.
Richardson said, is that ”1 am a
redeemed sinner, a Christian in
whom the image of God is be
ing traced more deeply each day
I live.” Concluding his remarks
Mr. Richardson said, “To be re
sponsible to God is your task and
that defines your very being as a
person.”
Class night exercises will be
held tonight (Thursday) when the
usual program will be presented
together with presentation of var
ious awards.
