Below Last Year
For First 30 Weeks of
1961 Only 327 Cases
Reported In United
1 States
The number of polio cases re
ported in the United States
this year is running far below
the incidence of recent years,
P* Health Insurance Institute
reports.
I In the first 30 weeks of
1961, going through the end of
July, a total of 327 polio cases
weie reported, the Institute said
in its statement based on data
supplied by the U. S. Public
Health Service.
Although last year, 1900, was
the lowest for polio incidence in
over 20 years, a total of 837
polio cases were reported in the
lirst 30 weeks of the year. i
In 1955, the year when the
Salk vaccination programs were'
initiated, 6,520 polio cases were
reported in the first 30 weeks.,
The Institute said the 30-week
polio totals were 4,564 for 1956,
2,244 for 1957. 1,168 for 1958,
and 2,036 for 1959.
’ In all of 1960, there were 3,-
277 polio cases in the United
States, the lowest figure since I
1938 when there were 1,705
cases. The lowest intervening!
year was 1942 with 4.167 cases
of polio.
The Institute said the highest
year for polio incidence was
1952 when nearly 58,000 cases!
were reported.
• The current 1961 total of 327!
polio cases is less than 40 peri
cent of the 1960 figure of 837,
cases. Os the 327 cases, 207 j
were paralytic, 72 were non-j
paralytic, and 48 were listed as
unspecified. j
Os the 1960 total of 837 polio
cases, 609 were paralytic, 168
were non-paralytic, and 60 werej
unspecified. Os 1960’s full-year,
total of 3,277 cases, 2,265 were
paralytic, 658 were non-paralytic,
and 354 were unspecified.
As an indication of how loW|
the polio - rate is this year, the
median 30-week total for the
years 1956-60 was 2,036 cases,
consisting of 1,338 paralytic
cases, 498 non-paralytic, and 200
unspecified.

Letters are still being pub
lished in various periodicals
concerning how to figure out
what movies children should
see. McCall’s Magazine recent-•
ly published one from an irate
parent who walked out in the
middle of a movie, children in
hand, then wrote a nasty .let
ter decrying the idea of letting
children see certain shows. Os
course, some people just like to
gripe, but if you’re interested
in having your children see
movies that you feel won’t harm
them in any way, there are sev
eral things that can be done.
Reference to movie reviews in
some of our larger newspapers
or checking with theatre own
ers regarding the type of story
they are showing on the screen.

Sneaking of the cinema, a few,
notes on same: Idea behind the
movie “Shadow of a Cat” came'
from the producer's own pet
Siamese, which purportedly
purred and spat at almost the
same time; Actress Catherine
Feller,- starring'in “Curse of the
1 Werewolf,” was actually born on
top of the Eiffel Tower, an
event which seldom happens in
the French capital; Jim Brown,
who portrays Lt. Rip Masters
I on tee-vee’s “Rin Tin Tin” stars
now in the movie version of
“Wings of Chance.” Brown, by
the. way, is also a fine singer.
