Survey Duplin
Polio Cases Be
Held In Clinton
A unique and hopeful step will
be taken on Friday, September 13,
when a survey of Duplin county po
lio victims of past years wiU be un
dertaken at the Health Department
in Clinton. AU of the more than 29
post polios in Duplin county are
urged to attend this orthopedic
clinic where an evaluation team of
medical experts wiU give them a
thorough medical. check-up.
This survey-f past poUA victims
Foundation; Jo? miamue roraiysts.
It is estimated that there are some
80,000 polio victims throughout the
country. There is strong evidence
that some of these may be able to
further overcome the after - effects
of polio thanks to briUlant achieve
ments in orthopedic surgery, correc
tive devices, and the whole field of
rehabilitation.
The survey of local polio patients
at the clinic on Friday is the first
stage of a "March of Dimes project
that promises 'A Forward Look for
the Polio Patient.' The program
seeks to extend help to patients who
could benefit from care at a respira
tory or rehabilitation cepter, from
new types of self-help or adaptive
devices, or from recently developed
surgical techniques.
The Duplin County Chapter has
contacted as many of these patients
as possible, but there may be post
polios who do not appear on its
books either because of change of
address or because they have never
registered with the Chapter. How
ever, aU polio patients regardless of
age or extent of present disability
are urged to attend Friday's clinic.

Chalong Ruangsiri and Kobkial
Suphanich are visiting in Duplin
County on their first touch with
America from the County level.
They arrived in Washington, D. C.
August 9, and remained there untU
coming to Duplin Counay for one
week's study and observation. When
they leave Duplin, they will enroU
at N. C. State College where they
will study until February 7, 1958.
Ther studies will be centered a
round agricultural economics.
March 17 through May 30, they
will be enrolled at Ohio University.
Their schedule calls for them to
attend the Agriculture Cooperatives
Training Course in Washington, D.
C, June 9 through July 25.
They will be in the United States
one year, scheduled to depart for
Thailand August 2, 1958.
Ruangsiri, chief of the Depart
ment of Producers and Consumers:
Wholesale division, said today that
he has been 'very much impressed
with the living standard of the Am
erican farmer.'
He pointed out that farmers liv
ing conditions are 'very good' and
that in Thailand, farmers do not
own automobiles.'
While in Duplin County, Ruang
siri and Suphanich visited the Ken
ansviUe Production Credit Associa
tion and talked to manager Gar
land King about his office's func
tions and association with farmers.
Ruangsiri said that in Thailand
the credit cooperatives loan abput
$10,000,000 annually (American mon
ey standard). He said there are
more than 10,000 credit cooperativ

Suphanich. whose "duties are to
organize and inspect cooperative as
sociations in the central part of the
country, pointed out there are four
objectives on their visit to the Unit
ed States.
The objectives are: (1) to develop
an understanding of the feed, seed,
tools, machinery and other farm op
eration supply needs that farmers
have and which must be obtained
from reputable dealers, farmers' co
operatives, or other sources.
Two, to acquire a working know
ledge of the way that farmers deal
with their cooperatives when they
need these supplies and how their
cooperatives service them.
Three, to acquire a sense of va
lues and a knowledge of the farm
