The National Communi-
cable Disease Center at
Atlanta, Georgia, in
serving as a statistical
center for all disease
reporting over the
United States, reveals in
its report ending July
29 that there have been
only (15) fifteen cases
of paralytic polic
reported since January
1 for the whole United
States. Of these (15)
fifteen, five have
occurred in Texas and
have been in South Texas
and Rio Grande Valley
Counties. There has
been one case in Demmit
County, one in La Salle
County, one in Cameron
County, and two in
Uvalde County.
Commenting upon these
statistics, Dr. Mack Hill,
County Health Officer
and Director of the
McKinney Collin County
Health Department
points out that at this
time a year ago, Texas
had accumulated a total
of 30 cases of paralytic
polio. Dropping from 30
to 5 is an impressive
figure, but for Texas to
have 5 cases of paralytic
polio out of 15 for the
whole United States
indicates that Texas
population cannot
neglect carrying on the
polio immunization pro-
grams.
Even though these 5
cases were in South
Texas and Valley
Counties, Dr. Hill points
out that there is a large
segment of our North
and Central Texas popu-
lation that has either
not been immunized, or
has not completed the
series, or has not had
a subsequent booster.
Hence there could be
false security in looking
at the statistics alone,
and a continued program
of keeping polio immuni-
zations up to date is
recommended by Dr.
Hill if we are to bring
polio under full control
and avoid sporadic out-
breaks of this still dread
cripple r which can
strike, in a horrible
manner, those who are
unprotected by immuni-
zation.

fraternity, Sigma Chi, are blonde lovelies Devon Cofer

that blondes were their first choice in dating, which
should give some credence to the fact that "Blondes
Have More Fun." Why they do and if they do will be
the basis of "Blondes Have More Fun," an hour-long
ABC-TV color special Monday, August 28 (8:30-9:30
P.M., EDT). Exploration of the blonde phenomena will
include comments by authorities Anita Loos, cartoon-
ist A1 Capp and social critic Marya Mannes.
