The Giants have been setting
the fastest pace in the National
League for these and some 9th
er reasons. One Of the major
factors in their performance has
been the hitting support provid-
ed by Willie Kirkland and Leon
Wagner, both from Detroit sand
lots. The club started the season
as a prcdominatntly righthanded
swinging outfit In fact, when
Kirkland was sent 10 Phoenix.
early in the race, the Giants
regular lineup was without a
Iefthanded hitter for a time.
Since kirkIsnd's recall, and
with Wagner returning with
him. Giant hitting has picked
UP. Neither hits into double
plays with great frequency.
Both are smashing the ball.
They are hitting singles 10
right that rival infieIders can't
knock down. And when they
get loft, some horrendovs hon.
ers have resulted.

Three Shots 80 Per Cent Protection

that two injections of the Salk vaccine are
not enough. A third shot, due eight or
more months after the first two, is abso-
Iutely necessary. Almost everyone, if given
enough vaccine at the proper times, can be
protected against the Gripping forms of
polio.
The very success of the Salk vaccine in
reducing paralytic polio is perhaps one
reason for the lag in vaccinations. Since
1855, when the vaccine first became avail
able, the cases Of paralytic polio have been
reduced by about IS per cent. Whereas in
1855, there were 1880 new polio crippleS;
in 1857, there were only 2, 100.
Epidemic In 1882
The reduction, however. cannot be en-
tirely attributed to the vaccine. Polio strikes
in irregular cycles. Even before we had the
vaccine, there were some years when very
few cases occurred and other years when
major epidemics swept through community
after community. Considering that there
are still so many people who are just as
unprotected as if the vaccine had never been
developed. it is quite possible that 1856 and
1857 happened to be light years for polio
and that we may still see epidemics in 1888.
We don't think that win happen, but it is
only common sense to prepare for the worst
while hoping for the best.
Don't be tripped up by that common and
very human feeling that III won't happen to

cans this year. Vaccination viii provide

Unlike children, who often escape paraly-
sis even when they get the disease, these
young adults are likely to be paralyzed If
polio attacks them.
Joe Randall, age nine, is one of the par
TALLY Vaccinated. He was sent home from
school early one day few weeks ago be-
cause he had slight fever. He was worse
the next day and his mother called the doc
tor. She was amazed at the diagnosis polio.
Hes been vaccinated twice with the
Salk vaccine" she exclaimed. ''How can it
be polio?'
Charlotte Komula, Walter Scheltema
and Joe Randall are but three Of hundreds
of Americans who became polio victims
after plenty of polio vaccine was available
to protect them.
Some Of them, like Mrs. KomuIa, simply
gambled on their luck and lost. Many,
however, like Scheltemas and the RandallS,
fell victims because they didn't take enough
precautions.
Two Shots Not Enough
Mr.. and Mrs. Scheltema. for example,
would probably have taken their polio shots
had they realized that, while the vaccine
prevents paralytic polio, 1t doesn't neces-
sarily prevent polio. Vaccinated children
may carry polio in a harmless form and
bring the virus into the home where it can
attack and paralyze the unvaccinated par
ents. 1t is important for all adults under 20
to be vaccinated, but it is especially impOr-
tant for parents, teachers and others who
are in close contact with children because
the disease is usually spread by children.

ers of more than II million children face a
similar one = was that she failed to realize
