Final evaluation to reveal Salk vaccine in 217 areas
A large study on the polio vaccine given to about 1.8 million schoolchildren last year will be released in April. Houston was among the areas receiving the shots. If favorable and licensed, the National Polio Foundation will fund free vaccine through local health departments for first and second graders with parental consent. Administration details will be coordinated with school officials. The usual three-shot schedule covers two weeks. If licensed, vaccines would be available through drugstores and family doctors. Dr. Wiede notes the vaccine rarely causes a heavy polio case. The Eagle marks its 73rd year of service to the community and invites continued support.

Wool Incentive Payments Prompted by 1959 Sales Slips
With April 1 as the start date for the wool incentive program, the Texas State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee urges wool growers to secure and keep all sales slips showing 1955 clip wool sold. Payments depend on a fixed percentage of sale price, with a minimum of $3.00. Eligibility covers wool sold Jan 1, 1955 to Mar 31, 1956, and lambs or yearlings slaughtered with sufficient wool growth. Ownership and certificates affect eligibility. payments after Mar 31, 1956 aim to yield about 62 cents per pound grease basis and 106 percent parity, funded by 70 percent tariff income on imported wool, targeting U.S. production of 300 million pounds. Mohair also qualifies to lift the return to 91 percent of parity.
