Second phase of polio immunization program planned Sept 9
The second phase of a mass
polio immunization program
in Morris and Camp counties
is scheduled for Sunday,
Sept. 9.
Type III of the Sabin oral
vaccine will be given out from
1 until 8 p.m. Sunday week.
Centers again will be set up
at Pewitt and Carver schools
for the Omaha-Naples area, at
Monitoring
Daingerfield and Rhoads high
school in Daingerfield, and at
a tent across Highway 26 from
the main entrance to the Lone
Star Steel plant.
A contribution of 25 cents
per person again will be ask-
ed but those unable to pay
will be given the vaccine free.
Persons who took the Type
I vaccine here in mid-August
and have kept their reminder
cards issued at that time won't
be required to register again
it they take their cards with
them.
Those who did not receive
cards, or have lost them, may
register again at the centers.
The oral vaccine is given
on a cube of sugar and im-
munity is assured within a
week after the vaccine is
swallowed.
The Type III vaccine gives
immunity against the second
most prevalent strain of the
crippling disease. Type II will
be offered to the public here
later.
The Tri-County Medical So-
ciety and the Steelmen's Care
and Benevolence Society of
Lone Star Steel will again co-
sponsor the program as a pub-
lic service to the people of
the two counties. Physicians
will supervise the centers.
Officials made it clear that
those eligible to participate
are not required to live in one
of the sponsoring counties.
Persons who live near these
counties and want to receive
the vaccine at one of the cen-
ters will be welcome.
More than 14,000 East Tex-
ans were immunized against
the major strain of polio in
the August program. More
than 2,400 showed up at Pew-
itt and Carver schools, about
800 area residents had re-
ceived the vaccine earlier at
the hospital here, and many
employees of Lone Star Steel
had taken part in a program
at the plant.
Sponsors expressed a hope
that the Sept. 9 response will
be even bigger.
Physicians urged everyone
to take the full series of three
doses of the vaccine. Each
type gives immunity against
a particular strain of polio,
and protection against the
disease is not complete until
all three strains have been
taken.
No booster doses will be
needed each year, however,
and present studies indicate
that the new Sabin oral vac-
cine proviuus lifetime immu-
nity.
MAIN
STREET
Bubble gum makers now
offer the stuff in little sacks
oi several packages.
Howard Hart, the young son
of the Wayne Harts of Oma-
ha, received one of the pack-
ages the other day and the
generous supply was a chal-
lenge to him.
By bedtime, he had done
justice to it.
During the night, he arous-
ed his mother with the fa-
miliar call of "Mama".
Mrs. Hart tried the usual
midnight problems.
A drink of water? No. A
trip to the bathroom0 No.
She checked. Her son had
lost his bubble gum from his
mouth and the gob had him
firmly stuck to his pillow.
Don't you believe it.
The Pewitt school board
had business of its own to
tend to Monday night.
The meeting was not called
so members could stand guard
over the school's pond while
the Sulphur River Hunting
and Fishing Club was meeting
at the school.
Bruce Lancaster's dad wish-
es he had ueen that smart
when Mrs. Orene Slider was
his English teacher.
The young son ef Mr. and
Mrs. Carson Lancaster recent-
ly was introduced to Mrs.
Slider by his grandmother.
The grandmother explained
that some day when he went
to school. Mrs. Slider would
likely be hi<: English teacher.
Mrs. Slider paid Bruce a
compliment by telling him he
"sure was pretty".
He looked up with a big
smile and said, "You sure are
pretty, too.."
Mrs. Slider's reply: "Honey,
you have just made your first
A."
Mrs. Jack Brock of Colum-
bus, formerly of Naples, sent
us this clipping from a Har-
lingen Rotary bulletin.
It hits home here:
A young man courted a girl
with flowers, sweets and many
promises. The girl turned him
down for two reasons.
She had never had flowers,
sweets or promises before, so
she felt they couldn't possibly
be good for her, and anyway,
the man of her dreams would
ccme soon with better things.
The young man gave up and
moved away.
There seems to be a similar
probUri within our cities to-
day, IHh. ''t our city really
it needs, or are
we always looking for a dream
existence sometime in the fu-
ture?
Do we stifle our local talent
and send them elsewhere be-
cause we are not accustomed
to new ideas, unless they come
from outside our city?
Why do we talk of our
dreams, and then when we
are put to the challenge, pass
the work to someone else?
Why are we so willing to
accept the stranger into our
gates, pay him his wage, and
send our own workmen away
in frustration?
You say this doesn't apply
to you. You will ignore this
shallow criticism. You will not
accept this because it smacks
of a zealot?
I say you are one who drops
a bundle in the collection
plate and says, "I am sav*d"
... or holds office and says
"I serve" ... or pays Cham-
ber dues and says "I have
given" . . .
Are you?

UFO to hear
fund requests
Requests for funds from
the Morris County United
Fund Organization will be
heard at 7:30 p.m. next
Wednesday and Thursday.
The hearings by the
Budget and Admissions
Committee will be held in
the county judge's office

ing to be included in the

information organized.
Although there are no im-
mediate plans here now to
participate in the program,
the present study is a prere-
quisite to aid under the fed-
eral urban renewal program.
The city council authorized
the master plan early this
year and hired the Dallas
firm in March.
The Texas Health Depart-
ment pays two-thirds of the
cost and the delay has been
caused by waiting for appro-
val of that department. Total
cost of the survey and pre-
paring of the master plan will
be about $9,000 with the city's
share about $3,000.
The survey will include a
population and economic base
study, water and sewer plan,
street plan, zoning regula-
tions, and a capital budget
program for water and sewer.
