"Wipe Out Polio" Drive This Sunday, April 5th
-Oral Polid Clinics To Be Held At Sewickley Elementary and Quaker Valley High Schools
This Sunday, April 5th, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. is “Wipe Out Polio” time. All that remains to make the campaign, sponsored by the Allegheny County Medical Society, a success, is die participation of you and yoiir family. You will immunize all your family against polio and at the same,time will.be prevented from becoming à carrier of the disease. Only in this way can the residents of Allegheny County eliminate this dread »disease once and for all.
Type I vaccine will be given tins Sunday, Type HI, on‘Sunday, May 3rd and Type H vaccine on Sunday, June 7th. By filling out the coupon at the bottom of this story and taking it to the clinic in thè Sewickley Elementary School or in the Quaker Valley High School, Leetsdale, you will reduce the time required to only a few moments.
Polio has not been defeated in the state or even in this area, even though die Salk vaccine has reduced die number of caSes. Last year, Pennsylvania had 82 cases, not only die highest number in any state in die nation, but over a quarter of 'all cases in this country! Philadelphia had an outbreak of epidemic proportions, with the result that a crash immunization program had to be conducted and there were three eases in tliis area. .Obviously, there is polio virus circulating in this area,
You and your family can stop it by going to the % clinics tliis Sunday and swallowing a cube of sugar, containing a drop of Type I polio vaccine. There are no Shots, no injections, no pain. Also die oral vaccine used gives longer lasting immunity, perhaps for a lifetime. But, if booster shots are ever needed, they will be just as simple to take. Also, only with oral vaccine is it possible to stop the spread of die disease, The reason is., that polio is spread by the intestines and oral vaccine gives intestinal immunity and prevents you and your family from becoming carriers, innocently spreading the disease to other members of die family and the community.
Incidentally, for persons suffering with diabetes, the vaccine is dropped in a small quantity of distilled water. Families who have had the Salk vaccine should also take die oral vaccine, oven though tiioy have had several
shots of .the Salk waccine.
It is particulary important that all children, particularly those from the ages of six months to nine years, he immiinized, because the incidence of die disease is much greater in tiiose age areas. On the odier hand, polio is usually more severe when it occurs in the young adult, so diey, too, have an equal need of immunization.
Volunteers to man die clinics are requested to call Mrs. Minnie Gray, 741-4752, after Seven o’clock to offer their services. PTA and PTG women will help at die clinics, plus women from the Modiers* March of Dimes, Boy Scouts, doctors, nurses, pharmacists and representatives of the Health Research and Services - Foundation. Members of United States Steelworkers Union, tiio Teamsters and Yellow Cab will help to distribute die supplies
Business firms, too, are taking an active part. The Purchasing Department of United States Steel Corporation has supervised tho purchasing of all supplies. The Union National Bank -will supervise die collection of all donations, dirough 15 centrally located branch banks, Brinks will furnish five trucks to pick up donations. Pcpsi-Cdla is furnishing trucks, Liquid Carbonic is supplying dry ice for per-serving the vaccine, Hills Brothers Coffee is supplying coffee, and members of the Western Pennsylvania Res-

Former Resident Wins $81,181 At Track
Mrs. Marion Whidock Jones, formerly of Sewickley, went to the Gulf-stream races at Hallandale, Florida, on Monday, bet $2,00 on the twin double and won $81,181.80, the second highest payoff in U.S. track history. She was accompanied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs, Frank W. Whidock of 336 Thom Street, who are also vacationing in Florida.
Mrs. Jones, who resides at 803 Chesapeake St., South West, Washington, D.C., said, “my creditors sure will be happy.” She is the proprietor of the Jones Real Estate Company in Washington, where she has been residing for about two years.
She bet one $2 ticket that the 3-9-3-4 combination would win the fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth races. Her explanation of the way she picked the horses was enlightening, to say the least. She picked Hy-Jeep,-" winner in the fifth, because her Tdd’ brother, Eugene, back in Sewickley, had been called ‘Jeep’ all through school and the nickname has stuck. She figured that picking that horse was the same as saying Hi-Jeep to her brother.
The winner in the sixth, Challenge Ship, was chosen, because her realty business is a challenge, ha the eighth, she chose March Blow, the winner, because she and most of her family had birthdays in March. The ninth winner, RomoquiU, was chosen because her daughter, Offline, is stdy-ing Latin in school and RomoquiU sounded like a Latin' name. Simple, isn’t it? When you know howl
Meanwhile, hack at the house in Sewicldey, as word..spread of his sister’s good fortune, “Jeep” had so many congratulatory and inquiring telephone calls that he first tried leaving the receiver off the hook, But that just resulted in a long, annoying beep signal. So, he went to the Sewickley police station and stayed there practically all night on Monday night, talking to the night desk man and policemen, to avoid answering the phone any more. The Herald finally reached him on Tuesday evening, when he answered the phone thinking it was another call from the Whitlocks who are staying. at the Roney Plaza Hotel in Miami Beach.
Eugene denied the part of the first story out of Hallandale, saying that Marion had borrowed twenty dollars from a Philadelphia friend to whom she gave $25,000 as his share. ‘Jeep’ said she had bet her own money.
Mrs. Jones was married in 1951 to Clifton Jones, who died the same year.
