week by Stanley T. Fauhl, district

possibility that Congress may not be
able to act within the short time re,
naming. Further information regard.
ing the special Saturday service and
the disability provisions is available

Teams Lead Church
Play In 1st Round

st Johns Evangelical and Re-
formed and the First Mennonite
teams hoped off to quick first round
leads as they took the opening games
in church league play at Harmon field
Monday evening.
In the opening game the town
church hoped all over their country
cousins as First Mennonite defeated
Ebenezer 1872. Pitcher Bob Simcox
went all the way with errorless sup
port, rarity in church league play.
He was helped considerably when Jim
Knox teed off on Ebenezer pitcher
Bob Gratz for big home run.
In the second game Methodist
pitcher Bill Hart saw a no-hitter go
by the boards as the Evangelical and
Reformed team nosed out 5-4 win.
E and R pitcher Bob King barely
outlasted two run rally in the top
of the seventh to save the one run
margin for his squad.
Methodist right fielder Jim Dray
did most of the hitting with a triple
and a single. Rex Alderman got the
other hit for the MethodiSts, a single.
Hart lost his no hitter to a con-
glomeration of walks, errors, and hit
| batsmen.
The second round of games pitted
the E. and r squad in last nights
opener against the Presbyterian team
and sent the Ebenezer and Methodists
against each other in the night cap
No games are scheduled for next
week because Harmon field will be
taken over by the Rodeo committee
for the 14th annual outdoor celebration

partment, says that the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is
asking all those persons working with
poliomyelitis patients to aid in the
program of encouraging other people
in their communities to take the Salk
shots.
"As an occupational therapist who
has worked with patients who have
had residual paralysis as an after
math of poliomyelitis, l have seen
how an attack of paralytic polio can
shatter ones future.
1.-The American Medical association
has stated that everyone should be
encouraged to be vaccinated, particu-
larly those under 40 years of age. ;
Many children have received the
shots but l would encourage young
adults to also be vaccinated.
'I work in one of the Is respiratory
polio centers in the country. About
| three-fourths of the patients whom
we treat are young adults between
the ages of 2040. These patients not
only have paralyzed legs and arms
but also have paralyzed breathing
muscles. They must be weaned from
the iron lung to other types of breath
ing equipment as chest respirators
and rocking beds" Miss Linden
states.
The former Blufftonite reminds her
friends that 'paralytic poliomyelitis
can be controlled, but only if the
people in your community and mine
take the shots.
