the vaccine. This is why we will
look with growing interest to
ward the 1956 polio season. By
that time enough youngsters
•should have received their com
plete series of injections to make
a substantial difference in the na
tionwide polio rate. Then we will
be able to look forward to final'
control of polio within a few
years.
This fall the vaccine program of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis will be conclu
ded in school clinics in all states.
In these clinics youngsters from
the first and second grades will
receive their second shots of vac
cine, and so will, third and fourth
graders in schools that participa-
' ted in the 1954 field trials. No
first shots will be given.
Supplies Allotted
. The United States Congress has
appropriated $30,000,000 for the
purchase of polio vaccine during
the coming few months. Supplies
of vaccine are allocated to states

Three Hurt In
Head-On Crash
Near Carthage
There was no lack of investigat
ing officers when a head-on col
lision took place just outside Car
thage, near the J. C. Grill and
the Victory tobacco warehouse
Monday afternoon.
The sound of an ambulance si
ren brought several patrolmen
and police officers to their feet,
as they waited in the courtroom
to testify in upcoming recorders
court cases, but it was Patrolman
Samuels who was elected to make
the investigation at the wreck
scene.
He found the cars locked in the
position they had hit—a 1950
Mercury driven by Billy Marsh,
18, of Carthage, Star Route, and
a 1939 Chevrolet pickup, driven
by Robert Caddell, Carthage Ne
gro, headed north. The pickup
was entirely over on the wrong
side of the road.
Caddell had already been re
moved to Moore County Hospital,
apparently with serious injuries,
when the patrolman arrived at
the scene. Marsh and a compan
ion, Johnny Sizemore, 16, were
treated for cuts and bruises at a
Carthage physician’s office.
Both cars were rated almost to
tal losses by the investigating of
ficer. He estimated damage to
the pickup at $250 and to the Mer
cury at $300.
The Mercury was the property
of Luther Cagle, Carthage used
car dealer, who had loaned it to
Marsh to try out.
There was no evidence of
speeding, the patrolman said.
Pending further information from
Caddell, no charges were prefer
red, although it appeared likely
that Caddell would be arrested
for driving on the wrong side of
the road.

How much electricity is there, Dad ?
t *
You can answer that question—as well
as Jinuny’s dad can.
The answer is pretty clear—there’s
plenty of eleetricity.
Just look around your house. Elec
tric lights—radio and television—re
frigerator, dishwasher, range, washer,
dryer, clocks, freezer, vacuum cleaner.
You’ll be able to think of many other
electric helpers at work or standing
ready to serve you. '•
There’s plenty of electricity because
America’s electric light and power com
panies keep the supply ahead of your
needs. Today you’re using twice as
much electricity as you did in 1945.
In 5 or 10 years you’ll be using a lot
more. The new power plants and equip
ment to bring you that additional elec
tricity are already being built or on
the drawing boards.
This is a good thing to remember
when you hear people say that the
federal government ought to build
more electric power plants. That is
unnecessary—and a waste of tax dol
lars. In addition, government-built
power plants present the threat of a
socialistic U. S. A.
