In announcing the arrival of

urged its use and the cooperation
of parents in making the vaccine
effective in prevention and elm
ination of polio. He said:
observations throughout the
nation are providing wealth Of
evidence which confirms the safe
ty and potency of the Salk polio
vaccine. Although final data are
not yet available. the reports ac-
cumulating clearly demonstrate
the effectiveness of the vaccine as
a preventive agent against para
lytic polio during the past season.
"Paralytic polio in the United
States can be cut in half in the
epidemic period in 1856 and can
be reduced to a negligible amount
in 1857 if there is coordinated
effort during the remaining
months of 1856 by all concerned
and particularly by parents.
Polio is contracted through
close association With infected
persons. Avoid crowds and min
