7>437 Polio
Patients
In County

Pointing to the need for another
generous outpouring of funds in
this January's annual Mothers
March for polio, East Cleveland's
campaign chairman, Judge Stanton
Adams today offers a few peril
nent polio statistics.
In 1854, says Chairman Adams,
there were 36,591 cases of polio in
the United States. In 1856 there
were 29,146, and this difference the
chairman attributes directly to the
Salk Vaccine.
And it is because only few thou
sand children last year had the Salk
Vaccine, and the knowledge that
every child, and many more people,
should have this health protection,
that the Salk Vaccine research and
production must continue, he states.
While the government recon-
mends and distributes the vaccine,
it does not make it or pay for it.
This is up to the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis.
East Clevelanders are reminded
by Mrs. Alcwyn Isaac, co-chair-
man., that their opportunity to
give to the 1856 Polio Fund will
be in the Porchlight Mothers
March January 31st.
In Cuyahoga County in 1866 there
were 242 new cases Of polio and
seven polio deaths. Today's case
load is 1,431 cases. The number of
polio victims throughout the nation
receiving care is staggering
$4,000.
East Cleveland listed three new
polio cases in 1866, one of which
has been receiving every known
treatment since August 21st. The
other two cases the listed as
eight"
In the meanwhile, thankful know
ing that his vaccine does reduce
both the incidence and severity of
polio, DR.. Salk continues his re-
search for the vaccine to end polio.

HAITPS
PRESIDENT IN
EXILE

PORT-au-PRINCE, Haiti -
CAMP - President Paul Magloire
of Haiti and nine members of his
family and cabinet are in exile
this week in Jamaica.
The former army general re-
signed Thursday and agreed to
leave the country.
Magloire left for Jamaica
Thursday night aboard a military
transport plane. With him were
his wife, two children and two
other relatives, Herve and Ann
Magloire.
Also in the plane were the for
msr interior minister, Roland
Lattiard, and his wife and three
children.
aMgloire's resignation came af-
ter the fourth day of a general
strike made in protest of his one
week reign as commander in chief
of the armed force.
He stepped down as president
week before when his six-year
.erm ended, only to assume wider
powers as head of the army. His
action provoked discomfort, and
General strike was called in pro-
test.
Magloire'S last day in power
was marked by bloodShed, with
,wo army officers and one SOL
lier reported killed and six SOL
dierS injured.
The soldier was killed, reports
laid, when the army men tried
to hold back a crowd that w S
moving on the city prison to re-
lease political prisoners.
A military posse was ambush
ed later when entering the home
of former Col. Henry Clermont to
arrest him for questioning in
connection with the shooting.
Reports said Clement and his
relatives fired on the posse, kill
ng 1t. Lahore AuguStin and 1t.
Alix Jean, and wounding six
soldiers.
Clermont's home repeatedly was
burned to the ground, although
no one was injured.
When the strike continued for
the third day, Magloire turned
over the power as chief of the
Negro Republic to Supreme Court
Chief Justice Joseph Pierre Louis,
who conStitutionally was next in
line to be president.
The chief justice has promised
full political freedom and a Goa
lition government to assure fair
presidential elections next April.
