McGuire, District Health) Officer, said Tuesday that lie does not-plan to give the second anti-polio shot until after schools open the early part of-September. - Formulation of plans for giving this second Salk shot is expected at a staff meeting of the Depart ment to be held Friday afternoon. In announcing the postponement of the second shot Dr. McGuire stated there were a number of rea sons he will wait until a later date to -resume these shots among the first and second graders of - the schools. If the shots were resum ed at the present time all chil dren would have to go to the near est Health Office, and this could be a matter of, inconvenience. The Department1 also hopes to have lo cal physicians to volunteer to be present at the time the second shots are given to children. i "The' Health Officer also stated it is very likely the Department will again ' request the consent of the parents before a child is given the second anti-polio vaccine shot. Another factor in the delay Dr. McGuire said,- is due to the vast amount of publicity that has been given the vaccine and the fact that some parents are against the vac cine program because some of the children who took the shots, in other states, died with the disease. Dr.. McGuire said he believed those who had taken tHe vaccine and had died were already sub ject to the disease before they had the shot He also said he would give the Vaccine only to the chil dren whose parents sign a written request for their child to have the second shot The yacclne for the second round of shots has been received at Wil liamston, from .the State Health Department, and the allotment for the local Department has been se cured,; v. i ."' s County library Perquimans County's library ex perienced another fine year, ac cording to an annual report re leased by Mrs. Silas M.
