Saik Polio Vaccination
Forms Distributed To
1st And End Grade Pupils

Forms upon which the parent
can request the vaccination of
the child are being distributed
today to the children in all first
and second grades in LincOlntOn
and Lincoln County. 1t is imper-
ative that these request forms be
filled out and signed by the par
entS and returned to the child's
home room teacher by the end
of this week March 18TH.
The quantity of vaccine issued
for use in our schools will depend
entirely upon the number of sign
ed forms returned requesting vac
cination That we may know def
initely and accurately the amount
of vaccine needed, it is requested
that all forms be returned, includ-
ing those of the children whose
parents do not desire the vaccin-
etion of their child.
"It is essential that we all know
that the vaccinations will not be
given unless the vaccine is found
effective and is licensed: that on
ly our 1st and End grade pupils
are eligible to participate in the
free vaccination program; an d
finally, that only those children
of parents who request the child's
vaccination on the forms issued
today will be vaccinated
The Lincoln times., 1955-03-14

Full cooperation with health Of
ficials in planning for the Polio
vaccination in Lincolnton and Lin
coin County elementary schools
was pledged today by Mr.. S. Ray
Lowder, Superintendent of City
Schools, and Mr.. Joe Nixon, Su-
perintendent of the County
schools.
Mr.. LOwder and Mr.. Nixon
said, IF the Salk Polio vaccine
is found effective and is licensed,
our principals and teachers are
prepared to assist in the vaccin-
alton program planned for all
pupils now enrolled in our first
and second grades"
"The vaccine to be used, if and
when licensed. will be paid for by
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis with March of
Dimes funds. 1t will be supplied to
each State and territorial Health
departments without charge for
use in vaccinating eligible children
throughout the United States. Ha-
waii. and Alaska. Because the de-
mand for the vaccine will un-
doubtedly be far greater than the
supply allocated for free use, only
those first and second graders
whose parents request it can be
vaccinated.

Jack Dellinger is a 17-year- old
Iron Station youth whose life of
promise became one of abpect
gloom one day last August when
he fell head-first from a china

For seven months now, this Lin

lain helpless and paralyzed from
the chest down.
Jacks story was carried on this
page of last Thursdays Times

April 9th Is
DeadIine For
Cotton Acreage

April s, has been set as the
deadline date for releasing cot
ton acreage which will not be
planted this year.
This is the latest date that
could be set and yet give far
mers the opportunity to plant
this reapportioned acreage, the
ASC office reports.
Last year, Lincoln County lost
two thousand acres which was
not released nor planted. This
is definitely money out of the
farmers profit and income lost
to the county which is Sorely
needed at this time.
Lincoln County farmers should
put a stop to this policy which
is costing the county in future
allotments.
MONEY CROP
The law provides that the far
mer releasing the acreage will
be given full credit for history
purposes provided he has plant
ed some cotton in one of the
previous two years. IF you can't
use the allotment, don't lose it,
cotton farmers are advised.

amount of blood used in that

This would change the local
procedure of many years stand
ing, whereby party candidates
have been selected in cOnven-
tions or mass meetings.
Because of heavy sentiment
found locally for primaries as op-
posed to conventions, Sen. Garri-
son and Rep. Clark have submit
ted to the Lincolnton Board of
Aldermen for their recommended
tions as to dates and procedure
bill to provide for party primaries.
JOINT STATEMENT
The text of the joint statement
issued today by Sen. Garrison and
Rep. Clark is as follows:
"Several weeks ago we request
ed the people of Lincolnton to eX-
press their preference as to the
primary or mass meeting method
of nominating party candidates
for the elective municipal offices.
"The response to that request,
in our opinion, has been positive
and clear cut. We have been con-
tacted by a large number of inter-
ested citizens. and they have by an
overwhelming majority indicated
a preference for a party primary
method of nominating candidates.
The Democratic Party in North
Carolina has long used the pri-
mary method of nominating cam
didates. The Democrats in Lin
colnton have affirmed their faith
in that system by requesting that
the primary system be adopted for
the nomination of municipal can
didateS.
SEVEN POINTS
"Therefore. we have submitted
to the Board of Aldermen for their
recommendations as to dates and
procedure a bill to provide for
party primaries for the nomina-
ton of candidates for municipal
offices. The essential parts of this
Bill are as follows:
al. Establishes party Demo-
cratic and Republican, primaries
for nomination of candidates for
municipal offices.
%. County Board Of Elections to
supervise municipal primaries and
elections.
"3. Municipal primaries and d
elections to be governed by gen.
eral election laws of the State.
a. General election to be held
on the fourth Tuesday in May.
MAY % of this year,
"5. Primaries to be held on
fourth Saturday preceding the
general election april 80 of this
year,
IS. Registration books to be
open on s, 7. and 9th Saturdays
preceding the general election.

dates to be ten 10) days in ad-
