WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1964 5c A COPY PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY In Brunswick County Wage All-Out War On Polio Sunday A concentrated effort to wipe out polio through mass immun izations in the county with Sabin oral vaccine will be condicated at all schools in Brunswick Sunday afternoon. The first of the three "Stop Polio Sundays” will 'be held this Sunday, March 22, from 12 until 5 p. m., at all schools in the coun-. ty. The two other clinics will be held on April 19 and May 17. Complete polio clinics have been established in each of the 11 schools in the county and will be in operation Sunday. The Sabin vaccine is a clear, tasteless liquid which will be dropped on a cube of sugar find fed to older children and adults. Infants over two months old will be given vaccine by dropper, spoon or paper cup. “No inject ion is required,” said Dr. A. H. Elliott, Brunswick County Health Officer. “The vaccine is recom mended for people from six weeks, to 100 years old.” All county residents need to take the oral vaccine, regardless of whether they previously have taken polio shots, Dr. Elliott em hasised. ."Everyone should take the oral vaccine so they will not be in a condition to carry polio virus from a patient to a sus ceptible child,” he added. What is the difference between the oral and vaccination method of controlling polio? “The shot protects the individual from hav ing the disease but does not de velop in his intestinal tract re sistance to the virus”, Dr. Elliott stated. un uie oiner n<uia, me oral vaccine develops in his intest inal tract an intolerance for the virus and keeps hime from trans mitting the disease from a pat ient' to a susceptible person,” he J- answered. Dr. Albert B. Sabin of the Un iversity of Cincinnati School of Medicine developed the oral vac “ Cln<t against the three types-of— polio virus. It is approved by the U. S. Government and has proven extremely effective against polio. Millions of people have taken it safely in mass immunization campaigns held in various sec tions of the U. S. The "Stop Polio Sundays” in Brunswick are sponsored by the county health department and the county medical society. “The state and national medical soc ieties have all endorsed and re commended the use of oral vac cine as a positive means to pre vent polio,” Dr. Elliott said. "The Stop Polio Sundays” have been assured the full sup port of medical, health, welfare, educational, civic and governmen tal organizations,” Dr. Elliott re ported, "but it will require the active interest and help of every group and every family to make “Stop Polio Sundays” a real suc cess”. Dr. Elliott said expectant mothers and diabetics can take the vaccine in a cube of sugar in perfect safety. Only persons tem porarily troubled with vominting, diarrhea or fever should wait until a later date to take the vac cine. “Everyone needs to take Sabin vaccine on “Stop Polio Sundays”, he added.

Moore, candidate for gov ernor in the Democratic primary, discuss his program for the state’s needs in Shallotte Thurs day afternoon.

Moore suggested taking an overall view of the needs of the state. “Eastern North Carolina, as well as Western North Caro lina, has been neglected in high way construction and mainten ance,” he stated. “My plan is to take an overall view of the needs of each section and give priority to those needs that are most important in each section.” He said he knew of the need for the Fort Fisher to Southport ferry. “I wish I could say I would see that you get the ferry, but I can assure you that I will give the project understanding,” he declared. “If the funds are available, I will do what I can”.

The expert would look at natural resources and seek appropriate industry, he added. Since the perfect school sys tem is in the future, Moore said advancement must be made in the field of education. “We need to expand, improve and broaden our educational system in the state,” he declared. He suggested reducing the heavy pupil-teacher load, adding more vocational educational pro grams and fighting high school drop-outs. Moore said he favors the $100 million school construction bond issue to be voted on by the peo ple. “I am the only announced candidate for governor who has made his stand known to the people in this matter,” he add ed.
