There's an undercurrent runnini
the streets and by.ways Of the tow
so strongly these days, / mus
speak OF II here. II all started
early In the week with an al b!
the Dade County Polio Prevention
Society. Now that Is a nice noble
sounding name. However, II wal
later discovered that these people
however well meaning, were try
Ing TO obstruct the injection of ths
gamma globulin for Key Wes
Children. We've had quite a few
years to investigate the worth ant
In many cases, personal ones like
my own, to find out just exactl,
what the National Foundation fol
Infantile Paralysis has done to
wards starping out this horrible
disease. That's why / see red ant
q few other crimson shades wher
someone tries to discredit these
people. II they say that gamma
globulin Is the most effective II
the treatment and the prevention oi
polio, I know the. there isn't one
or two, or ever half a dozen doc
tors working on It, but thousands
Of the very best medical men in
the country. This being a free
country and 1 relatively free press
one doctor or one man has a per
feet right 10 stand up and say thai
he thinks the new injections are
worthless or harmful. He also has
q perfect right to keep his child
from taking them. But let me ash
you, when the National Foundation
has spent thousands to aid you
and your child might be the next
to be crippled for life, aren't you
going to do everything in your
power to prevent that and accept
the help that is offered?
II you haven't already accepted
their help, I'm sure it's not toe
late II you change your mind, 81
make some inquiries. A little
friend I visited this morning wher
! was shop hopping. one Barbara
had just had her injection. didn't
see q tear stain, and she's only
eight. I asked her If il hurt, anc
she said. "Only little, but polio
would hur. q lot more" Barbara
Baldwin is a very smart little
girl.
