Hearing Sought
On Race Funds

The Prince Georges County
Municipal Association will re.
quest a hearing before the
County Commissioners to ask Q
change in the method of allocat-
ing racing revenues to towns.
The group agreed to the ac-
tion last night at q special
meeting called to discuss what
it feels is an unfair method Of
distributing some $250,o00.
Members feel that population
figures, used to determine how
much each town shall receive,
should come from the latest re-
liable count. The County Com
missionerS this year used the
tallies of the 1850 Federal CEN
sus.
The association stated that
figures of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission released this
year should be used since they
show sizable population growths
in at least three towns. The
towns, which then would be
eligible for more money, include
Forest Heights, District Heights
and Seat Pleasant.
Part Of the county's racing
revenues are returned to it an
|nually by the State. The exact
amount is based on the Federal
Governments 1850 census. The
country. however. is free to use
any reliable set of population
figures 1t chooses when 1t passes
the money to the towns.
Allocations made by the previ-
GUS Board of County Commits
sioners were based on population
growth submitted by the towns
themselves, members were told.
Ross G. Porter, attorney for
District Heights. presented the
case to the County Commission
ers several weeks ago. It then
was taken under advisement.

Demand HEAVY
For Polio Shots

Fairfax County Health De-
partment officials said today
more gamma globulin probably
will have to be sought to meet the
demand for the anti-polio shots.
They administered 1856 shots
over 1000 more than expected
at yesterdays first clinic in the
drive to prevent a polio epidemic
this summer.
Children from months to s
years lined UP this morning at
Herndon High and Vienna Ele-
mentary Schools to receive the
injections in the second day Of
the clinics.
Additional clinics are sched-
uled daily through August z in
various sections of the county.
Need Seen Certain
Mrs. Donald Quarton, secre-
tary to DR.. Harold Kennedy,
county health officer, said the
public "is turning out in such
great numbers that it's almost
certain we will need more gamma
slobulin."
She said the county will ask
for additional supplies from the
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis which has sent
enough for approximately $4,000
shots.
About 1000 children were ex-
pected to be given the shots TO-
day at Herndon and 1900 at
Vienna. Some of the biggest
clinics are still on the schedule.
22 Cases Listed
Fairfax County has recorded
20 polio cases compared with one
at this time last year. Mrs.
Quarton said health officials were
"very pleased" at the response
to the first clinic.
The national foundation,
which has established a recruit
ing ofnce at the Fairfax County
Health Department, said more
volunteers are needed to help al
the clinics.
A representative said that
citizens who can work all day
$3.50 am. to 4:30 p.m.-are
needed. Volunteers for halliday
work will be accepted, however
A total Of Is persons are required
at each clinic to line UP children
register them, hold them while
they get the shots, wash syringes
and otherwise help the doctors
and nurses
Volunteers may call the Health
Department.
