1t is ironcal that Massachusetts has been hit with
polio severely when medical science is on the threshold
OF successfully wpng out the disease It is refreshing
TO know that paraytic polio among children who have
had only one Sak incubation is extremely low
1t is regrettabe that in Everett adult death from
polio has been recorded
The best of all advice during the polio season is
ton here are some suggestions made by the National
Foundation for Infantie Paralysis in regard to pre-
cautions against polio.

been with right along Keep them away from new peo-
pie, especially in the close daily living of home

after using the toilet especially important when polio
is around Also keep food clean and covered
DO watch for signs of sickness, such as headache
fever sore throat upset stomach extreme tredness or
nervousness trouble in breathing and swallowing
others, and call the doctor Quick action may lessen
gripping.
DO phone your local chapter of the National Foun-
dalton for Infante Paralysis you need help Locate
through the phone book health department No pa
tient need go without care for lack Of money. Your
chapter will pay what you cannot afford
DO remember - at least half of all polio patients
get well without any Gripping.
DON'T get overtired by hard play exercise, work
or travel This means men, women and children.
DON'T get chilled. Don't bathe or swim long in
cold water, or sit around in wet clothes.

HOW SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS MAY BE INCREASED

Those people who are per-
manently disabled from sub
stantial gainful employment
and have 4een disabled at
least six months should look
into the possibility of pro-
tecting their social security
rights, Mr.. Henry E. Good
nough, manager of the CheI-
sea social security district
office, said today.
The 1854 Amendments to
the Social Security Act pro-
vide for a freezing" of a
disabled persons earnings re-
cords as of the onset of the
disability. This means that
when his or her earnings re-
cord is averaged for purposes
of paying either retirement
or survivors benefits, the
earnings average and the
benefit amounts will not be
lowered by including all of
the time the worker was pro-
vented from having subStan-
tial earnings by reason Of his
disability.
However, Mr.. Goodnough
says, he believes that many
people who are eligible for
the disability freeze are not
aware Of this provision of the
law, or are not aware Of the
effect it can have one the old
age and survivors insurance
benefits payabl to them or
to their family. He pointed
out that it is particularly
important for people who may
+ be eligible for the freeze"
to contact their district Of
flee as soon as possible, or
If they are unable to do so
to have some member of the
family, or a close friend, get
in touch with the office for
them.
The reason it is so i'm
portant to contact the social
security office is that begin
ming as early as July OF this
year, benefit amounts can oe
increased for those people
j who become eligible for bene-
fits on the record of a worker
who has been disabled" Mr.
Goodnough declared. This is
true for suryivorship bene-
fits as we'll as for retirement
benefits, and is particularly
true for those people whose
disability has extended for
more than a few years. A per-
iod for more than a few
years. A period OF disability
cannot be omitted from figu-
ring the average earnings OF
the worker unless the worker
himself, or someone on his
behalf, has made application
before his death.
Supplementary this word OF
warning, Mr. Goodnough ex-
planned some other provision,
of the freeze. To qualify FOL
the freeze, in addition 10 be-

ing disabled, the worker must
have had certain amount
of work under social security.
The requirement is that he or
she worked at least 5 years
out Of the 10 years before the
disability started and at least
year and a half of this
work must have been in the
3 years before the disability
started.
Another important provision
is that if the disability had
its start before July 1856, the
freeze application must be
filed before July 1857, to be
effective for the entire period
of the disability.

Oak Harbor, Elmore, Join
Ohio Villages At Hearing

Two Ottawa county villages, Oak
Harbor and Elmore, were among
Il communities appearing last
Thursday at hearing by the water
pollution committee of the Ohio
Legislative Service Commission at.
Columbus.
Spokesman for the villages as
serted the state is trying to force
them to build sewage treatment
plants they cannot afford. They
suggested state or federal aid to
build treatment plants, or con-
tinued exemptions from Ohio's
anti-stream-pollution laws.
Let us go back to back houses
or let us float along as we are"
said John Cloyd, Rocky River en-
gineer who appeared for eight
towns in that area.
The state has issued temporary
permits allowing dumping sewage
into streams but threatens to inn
pose fines unless stream pollution
is ended.
The 1858 Leg. stature created
the Commission to serve as fact
finding body in the study of pro
blemS facing lawmakers.
Mayor Joseph Flury of Oak Har-
bor was quoted as saying the vii
lige had paid Toledo engineering
firm S10,240 for the design of a
treatment plant which will cost
an estimated $525,OOO but would
total S763 900 with financing and
interest over a 20-year period. He
called for a bill to exempt villages
under 5000 from the pollution con-
troll
Mayor Ray Petersen, Elmore,
said his village would have to pay
between $1,000 and $4,000 for
plans for a $4,000 system.
Committee members indicated
several legislative measures to
help the villages will be presented
to the Legislature after its find
ings have been tabulated.
