Polio Clinics This
Week In Della.

Free polio incubation clinics
open throughout the state this
week, as the third and final phase
of Delaware's all-out drive against
paralytic polio gets under way
This series will represent an op-
portunity for Delawareans to re.
ceive their third shots of the Salk
vaccine, and a final chance for
those who have not begun the SER
les to do so. Scattered clinics have
operated in March in Sussex Coun-
ty and in Wilmington's Health Unit,
but the full-scale campaign is bel
ginning now.
Many people still suffer from a
tragic misconception that polio,
long known as infantile paralysis,
is a children's disease. In reality,
the pattern of the disease has
changed in recent years so that
over half of the paralytic victims
in this state have been over Is
years of age. Adults, particularly
young parents, can and do con-
tract paralysis, often with drastic
emotional and economic consequen-
ces. For this reason, doctors are
very anxious that all adults, un

At Salisbury School April 3Oth

This years Annual Delmarva

ctanico High School of Salisbury,
Maryland on Wednesday, April
30th according to Ray Murphy,
committee chairman for this year s
S100-a-plate dinner.
Edmund Harding. well known
humorist from nearby Washington,
North Carolina, has been engaged
as the featured speaker of this
annual affair. Mr.. Harding has
been a professional after-dinner
speaker since back in 1910 and
averages 200 speeches year, rang
ing in North America from his
native Washington to California
and from Alaska to Mexico.
Twenty years ago, Harding was
district governor OF Rotary Inter-
national in the area around Wash

had to visit each club at least
once during the year, and give it
a talk as district governor. 1t

ing. as he always has liked to visit
with people. And, it wasn't hard
for him to give the talks, either,
for he was salesman and talking
came naturally to him.
In his talks to the clubs, he
tried to give them a sugar-coated
pill rather than bore them to death
with platifudes. They must have
liked it, for during the years after
he completed his Rotary district
governorship, they kept asking him
to come back and give more of
his talks.
For three years, he kept at his
full-time job as fertilizer salesman
and tried to fill all the speaking
dates at nights, and without fee,
either.
Then, all of a sudden, he found
out that the speaking was much
more Of q business than anything
he'd ever been in. And, as a college
president once said in later years
in introducing him, Edmund Hard
ing changed them from humus to
humour.
Harding stayed in the fertilizer
business for more than 13 years,
before / found out that anybody
would pay anybody for just talk
ing. One he found that out, he
switched Jobs.
That was i'm 1910, and since that
time he has given more than 1880
talks. He has criss-crossed the ma
ton, with his glib tongue flying,
doing most of his travelling by
plane.
He tries to tell many, many
stories during each talk, averaging
Q story and a half a minute. "I
trv-ts~ tell quick stories and tell
them faSs so the folks won't get
a chance W1lt back and wait for
the end of the aory." he explains.
His tales are stories, not jokes,
he feels, and he'd rather be called
the Tar Heel story teller than the
Tar Heel humorist.

Home Accidents High
On List Of Deaths
In Delaware Last Year

Home accidents were second to
motor vehicle accidents among the
causes Of 225 accidental deaths in
Delaware last year, ii was reported
yesterday by the Delaware Safety
C9ancil and the State Board OF
Health.
Grouping the accidental deaths
In four types, the agencies found
that motor vehicle accidents ac-
counted for 81 deaths and home
accidents 63, for a total of 154 out
of the 225 deaths. Public non
motor vehicle which includes
drownings, firearms and other ac-
cidents, accounted for so deaths,
and accidents at work resulted in
21 deaths.
The 63 deaths in home accidents
included 81 deaths resulting from
falls OF the 81, falls on the same
level accounted for "a deaths and
falls to a different level-as down

13 lives. Fire or explosion took IL

Among the so deaths in the pub

here were Is drownings, IL falls,
five i'm connection with water trans
portation and four in connection
with air transportation. There were
four firearms deaths in this class
of accidents outside the home. Two
persons died in railroad accidents
rot involving motor vehicles and
one from a vehicular accident not

to the age of 45, realize that fail
ure to obtain the polio shots is
taking a foolish and unnecessary
risk. Three shots are necessary
for the best protection.
Medical authorities in Delaware
are warning that the Salk vaccine
must be received at this time if
there is to be protection for the
polio season of 1858. A third shot
received this spring will provide
lasting immunity to the disease.
while the first and second shots
should see the recipient through
the summer.
The public clinics will be spon-
sored, as in the past, by the
Medical Society of Delaware, the
Delaware Chapters of the Nation
al Foundation for Infantile Para
lysis, and the State Board of
Health. DIR. John B. Baker, Mil
ford pediatrician and president OF
the medical society, said in dus-
cussing the campaign, We feet
that our efforts against polio have
accomplished a great deal, but
that there is still a lot to do We
know, for example, that polio in
cidence dropped off dramatically
last year, but we are pretty sure
that the rate will stay down only
if people follow through with all
three shots. One or two shots alone
would account for increased public
immunity in any one year, but a
permanent immunity cannot be es-
tablished by less than three ino-
culations with the Salk vaccine.
In other words, we Delawareans
have come a long way toward de-
feating polio but we haven't done
it yet. We hope that everyone who
has had his two shots will get his
third, and that anyone who hasn't
started the series will start now,
before the polio season begins"
Public acceptance of the Salk
vaccine, slow in the beginning,
scared last spring when an esti.
mated 100000 Delawareans receiv-
ed the polio shots. Paralytic polio
cases in the state dropped from
10 in 1856 to / in 1857. Physicians
attribute this drop largely to public
determination TO halt polio with
the vaccine. They emphasize; how
ever, that a lasting immunity will
not result from one or two shots,
and stress that everyone must re-
ceive his third and final shot il
he is to retain his protection "a
gainst the disease.
Private physicians are giving the
polio vaccine in their offices, and
are volunteering, with nurses and
hostesses, to serve in the public
clinics. The following free clinics
have been scheduled for this area:

said Chairman Murphy in COM
menting about the program for the
evening. This noted humorist
speaker comes to our committee
highly recommended; and, from
what we've heard, will be well re-
ceived by the approximately one
thousand people expected to attend

continued Murphy.
This $100-a-plate dinner has gain
ed national attention for the Del
marva Peninsula as unique
means of raising funds to promote
the poultry industry. truly the eco

the founders of the $100-a-plate din

and past president of the Del
marva Poultry Industry, was the
special speaker at $50 Plate Din

try. Other organizations from var
ious parts of the poultry world
have copied the idea in a modified

that our leaders,, both in poultry
and other businesses, have pioneer

Oil Well Drilling
Launched In Isroel

TEL AVN (JTA) - Oil drilling
operations were begun here by two
American-financed companies, Pan
Israel Oil Company and Israel-Med-
iterranean Petroleum, 20 miles
southeast of Tel Aviv. The well,
which win be drilled to a depth OF
5000 feet, is located on a 98,0O0-
acre petroleum concession jointly
owned by these companies.
H. I. Harris, chief geologist for
Pan Israel and Israel Mediter-
ranean, said the drilling site is the
result of 10 months of intensive
seismograph studies using special
American crews and equipment
brought to Israel by the companies
in August, 1857.
Harris advised that the joint
venture will seek oil in the Heletz
sands, which now produce approx
imately 1000 barrels daily from 20
wells in the nearby Heletz field,
and will also investigate deeper
prospective reservoirs.

False Picture
Of indemnify
Is Charged

DUSSELDORF, (JTA)-The Ger
man people have been given a dis
torted picture of Bonn indemnifica-
ton payments in an official report,
the Allgemeine Wochenzeitung der
Juden charged.
An editorial in the Jewish organ
takes issue with the fact that the Of
ficial government Bulletin reported
recently that by the end of the cur
rent fiscal year victims of Nazism
will have been paid 10000, 900
deutschemarkS, "one-fifth of this
years total federal budget"
The distortion lies in the fact
that the 7 billion mark total, Cap
proximately 81, $50, 900, ,000 was paid
out over a total of several years,
not in this fiscal year as implied,
the editorial points out. In addition,
the sum includes funds paid out by
the various states as we'll as the
federal government.
An additional distortion is created
by the government failure to point
out that indemnification payments
to victims of the Nazis make up but
fraction of the Hitler war costs
to the German people, the news
paper underlines.

Bv RABBI ALBERT PLOTKIN

The tragedy of war which struck
Europe has never really been felt
by Americans. Living in a secure
environment, it is impossible for
us to imagine the depth of the
depravity and chaos which struck
the whole of Western civilization.
The greatest catastrophy was
the distraught conditions which
destroyed the lives of the young
people of Europe. They were
caught in a hopeless dilemma be-
tween death and destruction. They
knew not why and they could not
tell where the end would be. It
made them feel hopeless and lost
in a world of terror and confusion.
A DIARY was found of a Dutch
Jewish girl in an old warehouse
in Amsterdam which related the
experiences of a girl Ann Franks,
in the midst of persecution and
chaos. She was 13 when forced by
the Nazis to leave her home in
Germany and to take refuge in the
warehouse with her mother, faith
er, and sister.
Ann Franks was forced to aban-
don school, playmates, and live
in a dark and dingy world of wait
ing. She was a lonely girl, deeply
sensitive to companionship and af-
lection. She had to occupy her
time and suddenly there came to
her the idea of writing a diary,
recording to that diary her inner
most experiences and deep felt
needs. She affectionately called
her diary kitty" and to Kitty
she could tell the things that she
could tell no one else. That diary
reveals the inner tragedy of lit
tie Jewish girl of 13 who tried
desperately to keep her faith alive
even in the sea of darkness which
enveloped her and her family.
WHAT rs so amazing in this
book of Ann Franks is the wit and

JEWISH BOOK CORNER
Ann Frank DiorY Is Beacon

The Jewish people have not suf-
fered in vain, she tells her heart
their suffering has meaning. 1t
shows that this people live for
higher truth that will not die even
though they be led like lambs to the
slaughter. The terrible price her
people had to pay for their tradi-
tons will leave humanity with a
nobler ideal and finer sense OF
the spiritual values.
IN THE CLOSING words of her
diary she has one great hope that
if something happens to her this
diary might be found and people
might read and know the inner
heart and feeling of her people.
Her hope that these words may
never vanish come to fulfillment,
and no one who reads these words
can not but be choked with the
emotion that justice has been vindi-
Gated.
Her words live on though her frail
body perished in the concentration
camp of Bergen Belsen.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1958-09-12

intellect and, even more, insight,
that girl of this age had of her
impending doom. Her writings re-
veal a deep realization that men
live by faith. She struggled with
determination to keep hope alive
in her family. Cheerfully she
sought to make her family happy
even though the days were long,
monotonous and boring.
When she looked out and saw
the children playing and enjoy
ing life, her heart yearned for that
freedom. Yet, she comforted her
self with the thought that the time
would grow near for their free
dom.
THE AMAZING quality of this
young girl is her wisdom of life.
She discusses religion as the an
Swer to mans crying need for Sc
curity and solace. Having very lit
tie Jewish religious training, she
awakens to the need of religion in
her own life. She finds great COM
fort that she can pour out to God
the innermost needs of her heart.
The prayers she reciteS, the
psalms she says, become towers of
strength in the hours of trial. Man,
she finds, is desperately alone un-
less he has Divine help. She under
stands that it will be her faith
which will carry her victoriously to
the end-whether that end be life
or death. The faith in the Supreme
has prepared her for the way ahead,
and so this adolescent girl makes
every reader realize the comforting
influences of religion. She stands
Iready to meet what will come with
a tranquil heart and uplifted spirit.
NOT ONLY does she understand
religion, but she tries to understand
the tragedy of her own people. She
sometimes becomes melancholy
with the thought of the terrible per-
secutions coming to her people, of
their hopeless, ignoble slaughter in
the concentration camps, and yet
she desperately realizes there must
be an answer.
