Children Here
Receive Salk
Polio Vaccine
Virtually all of southern
Orange county’s first and
second grade elementary
school pupils whose parents
registered for Salk polio vac
cine inoculations for their
tiildren have received the
jections, it was reported
by Dr. 0. David Garvin, Dis
trict Health Supervisor.
Dr. Garvin said that shots
were administered to 527
children in this area early
this week. About 25 regis
tered children were absent
the day the shots were
given, but were to get them
later. Registered children in
the northern part of the
county received shots yes
terday and Wednesday. A
complete report on the num
ber vaccinated there was not
available at press time. Dr.
Garvin anticipated that by
today all 4,300 registered
children in the Orange-Per
son-Lee-Chatham health dis
trict woulld have been inocu
lated.
“District health officials
are well pleased with the
general operation of the
plan,” Dr. Garvin said. “So
far, no serious complications
Jwve been reported to our
Wice.. Our only regret is
that we cannot give the
serum to more children, but
the allocation of the first
shipment to this district was
such that only properly
registered children in the
first and second grades were
eligible for it.”
The shots given here this
week are expected to give !
immunity to polio for sev
eral monthfc at least, and
poaoibiy fe? Ig*. Boggtar
shots may bo heeded occas
ionally, however. It is nf*
yat known when there wfl
bo enough serum for every
body who wants it. Public
support of the March of
Dimes helped to bring about
the discovery and dissemina
tion of the fifllk vaccine.

L.G.
There are citizens ofj
Chapel Hill, among them
some University professors,
who have increased enorm
ously in bulk with their ad
vancing years. Let us not
say they have become cor
pulent. That word, some-]
how, has a coarse and brutal?
sound. Let us say it more!
delicately: they have “put
on weight."
It is surprising, how sud
denly it happens in certain]
cases. A friend of yours has ]
stayed slender through his!
forties, maybe even through'
his fifties, and you have sup-!
posed, without thinking
much about it. that he would
always be that way. Then
one day you meet him on the
street and discover that he
is about twice as big around
as he used to be. (I am talk
ing now' about fat men only,
not fat women.)
i
I have observed, and have
had reported to me strange
things about the putting on
of weight. Not long ago the
wife of a professor told me
that her husband’s getting
fat had come about without
any increase in the amount
of food he consumed. He
ihad only a moderate appe
tite. and he took as much
exercise as he ever had
taken. Yet just look at him!
iShe just couldn't understand
it
I told her that in my boy
hood, sixty years ago, I was
a frightful little glutton but]
stayed thin—the word com
monly used, to describe my
jfigure, was skinny—who*
my older brother Ernest was
a light eater but took on a
shape that led to his being
called Pot. a nickname that
stuck to him through the
rest of his life. My mother
often expressed surprise at
his getting so fat when eat
ing so little. Medical science,
I believe, has revealed that
this kind of sequence is due
to something wrong with
the glands.
What got me started on
these remaaks was a specific
