Dr. Carl B. Jordan of the Iowa Department of Health says fewer than 100 polio cases have been recorded so far this year, with September usually peaking. Through two weeks in September 21 cases were reported, August had 48, and total cases may reach about a third of last year's 620. The 1940 record was 929 cases, and high prevalence years tend to be followed by lower years as immunity builds.
