Polio Campaign Fund
Far Below Average

A report was issued this week
that the infantile paralysis cam
paign in the county early this year
raised total Of S1,946. This is less
than half the amount raised the
previous year and came at time
when most people we're of the
opinion that polio was licked.
Campaign chairman Charles L.
Briner said this week that polio was
rot licked and noted a recent case
in this county that the local chap
ter is caring for financially. He
said that in the past two weeks the
Garrett County chapter had spent
$3.50 on this case and expected to
spend nearly $1,000.
There are three cases IN the
county that the local chapter is
continually spending money for
braces, shoes, etc, and this year
expenditures have amounted to
$285 for these cases.
In order that there will be no
need for further cases of polio, the
local chapter is urging everyone
to contact their physician or the
health department in order to gel
fbair tbroo ipOo,,Iat;opc thof mill
make him immune to the disease
Briner said every one up to age
40 should have the three shots.
The county chapter received &
check this week for $500 from the
Allegany Ballistics laboratory, neal
Cumberland, to be applied to the
1858 polio drive.

Corrects Impression
On Fishing For Pike

Edwin NJ. Barry, chief Of fish
management for the State Game
and Inland Fish Commission, has
advised that many anglers have
the wrong impression about the
stocking of predator fish in Deep
Creek Lake.
Barry said these fish, such as
northern pike and pickerel, are not
placed in the lake to provide sport
for anglers but are being used in
an attempt to bring the fish popu-
lation into balance.
Following a test few years ago
at the lake it was determined that
the waters had too many yellow
perch. The predators were placed in
the lake to kill off the over supply
of perch.
Barry has asked anglers who
catch either pike or pickerel to
return them to the lake.

"Watch Out for
The Chi|dren"
Weaver

GO slow on a residential
street."
This is the warning given out
today by Chief of Police H. S
Weaver who points out the
danger of too-fast driving or
the narrower street which also
is the home street of many chill
dren.
"a motorist on a residential
street." says Chief Weaver,
Should be constantly alert
When he sees children playing
on the sidewalk or on a front
lawn he should Immediately
slow down. One never knows
when a child might suddenly
dart out into the street.
Parents are also reminded to
point out to their children the
hazard of chasing ball or a
toy into the street, or of trying
to cross the street without first
looking both ways to see if a
car is coming.
Summertime means chill
dren out-of-doors. Play safe.
Drive slowly" he emphasizes.
