Vaccine by Mouth
Seen as Polio Aid

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Nov. IL
Pl-The possibility of increas-
ing protection against poliosby
following Salk shots with doses
Of vaccine taken by mouth was
outlined to the Southern Medi-
cal Association. today. a
Drs. Harris d. Riley, jr., and
Randolph Batson of the VAN
derbilt University School OF
Medicine said the killed virus
vaccine now in use for polio i'm
munization does not give per-
manent protection.
Thus, as long as there are
unvaccinated persons in a pop
ulation we still have poliomy-
elitis since the virus is present
and potentially dangerous. "
they said.
Until a live virus vaccine can
be developed. the researchers
said. the next logical step prob
ably will be protection of in
dividuals by giving Salk shots
and then providing a weaker
vaccine to be swallowed.
This would produce a mild
internal infection which would
leave an individual with a long
standing immunity to polio
they added.

U.s.. and Syria
Exchange
Again

The State Department today
refused to confirm or deny re-
ports that the United States
and Syria are about to ex-
change Ambassadors again as
a step toward normalizing their
strained relations.
Officials would say only that
various matters of mutual
interest to both countries" had
been discussed by Assistant
Secretary of State William
Rountree and Syrian Foreign
Minister Salah Bitar in an in
formal meeting at the United
Nations last Thursday.
A well-informed diplomatic
source at the United Nations
was quoted by the Associated
Press, however, as reporting
that the ambaSsadorial ex-
change was 'favorably con-
sidered' at the Rountree-Bitar
meeting. Neither United States
nor Syrian officials at the UN
denied that the reported agree
ment had been reached.
Neither country has had an
ambassador in the capital OF
the other since August, when
Syria expelled three members
of the United States Embassy
in Damascus for allegedly plot
ting to overthrow the Syrian
government. The United States
replied by sending home the
Syrian Ambassador, Farid lei
neddine.
Mr.. Zeineddine now is head
of Syria's delegation to the
UN General Assembly. He said
any comment on the reported
agreement would have to come
from Damascus.
Mr.. Bitar left Saturday by
plane for Damascus. He was
expected to report to his gov

TO FIELD DRESS
GAME BIRDS

If hunters would field dress
all upland game birds and wat
erfowl a. soon as bagged, much
tastier meat would result, w. Ken
Thompson, chief Of the Informa-
ton and Education division, ad-
vised this week.
1t is a common belief, Thomp-
son said, that game birds need
not be cleaned at once. However,
the meat will be more desirable
when it gets to the table if the
abdomen of the bird is opened
and the entrails removed i'm
mediately. This simple operation
will prevent strong juices which
may be released in the birds
body from penetrating the meat.
"Often the strong, or so-called
"gamey" flavor of wild meat is
the result of improper care Of
game" Thompson said. If the
feathers are plucked from the
birds, hunters are reminded that
sufficient evidence must be left to
identify sex and species of the
game birds.

|Elks Sponsored
Speech Therapist
Reports on Clinic

Screening of the 1st grade
childrne for speech defects was
accomplished Monday, October 81,
by Elton L. Stewart, speech Their
apist, with the Elks Mobile
Speech and Hearing Clinic which
visits Sidney two days each
month.
Screening was done in coop
Grafton with local school officials
in order TO discover any speech
problems for which clinical help
might be desirable. Stewart re-
ports that his schedule, bringing
direct, monthly speech and hear
ing services to nine Montana
towns, does not allow screening
for hearing problems, or for
more than the 1st grade for
speech problems at the present
time, but that screening of at
least the 1st grade each fall
should tend to reduce the Incl
dence Of such problems in upper
grades. Stewart said that he
depends largely on r~eferrals from
teachers and parents for finding
and helping children with speech
or hearing problems not found in
screening. The Elks clinic also
serves ~pre-school children, handi-
capped children not attending
school, and adults.
Children found to have speech
defects r not required TO at
tend the Elks Speech and Hear
ing Clinic each month, but are
merely brought to the attention
of parents by school officials or
the County Health Nurse so that
parents may bring their children
TO the clinic for a more extensive
examination and enter them in a
regular therapy program if it is
needed.

Red Cross
Reciprocity
Program

The reciprocity program of the
Regional Blood Center at Great
Falls, Montana is of benefit to
residents Of Richland county due
to the fact that we have an active
Red Cross Chapter which pro-
notes the Red Cross blood pro-
gram. We are a participating
chapter.
The following explanation OF
the reciprocity program is taken
from Montana Lifelines', the
official paper OF the Center:
When a citizen Of a participating
chapter goes into another state
TO be hospitaiized or to a Mon
tana hospital which is outside the
program, ii may be necessary for
him TO receive blood. The pa
tent, or a member of his family,
should notify his local Red Cross
blood program chairman as soon
as they know how many pints of
blood were used. The blood pro-
gram chairman will then notify
the Montana Regional Blood Cen
ter in Great Falls, which con-
facts the nearest Red Cross re-
gional center and they in turn
will deliver the blood to the
hospital which administered it,"
The Red Cross never charges
for the blood. The charges are
for administration.
