Still Need Funds For Polio Work
Homer Davis of Emporia told the Rotary club that polio funds remain essential for treatment and research as the county March of Dimes canvass begins. He noted the Salk vaccine’s success, that initial vaccine production won’t be needed this year, and urged immediate vaccination for younger adults as vaccine access expands. Davis presented the county chapter a 1000 dollar check to cover treatment for two severe cases, illustrated with photos of severe polio cases across the country. He recalled epidemics in Massachusetts and Wisconsin while noting Kansas saw reduced prevalence. Aimed at schools, literature will be distributed and parental vaccination urged amid new Rotary member Truman Day and visiting Rotarians from nearby cities.
