POLIO: UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Almost from the beginning of recorded history, paralytic polio was a dreaded blight. The ancient Egyptians knew it: one of their bas-reliefs pictures man with polio-withered leg and primi tive crutch.
 The turning point came in 1888 when President Franklin ID Roosevelt, himself a polio victim. formed the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The name is misnomer. InfanitIe paraly- sis is not exclusively disease Of young children; as matter of fact, 34 out of 100 cases occur in persons aged 15 or over.
 Vaccine Approved The great day came IT years later, on April 12, 1855, at the University of Michigan, Dr. Thomas Francis Jr., announced that vaccine developed by pr. Jonas Salk with March of Dimes funds had been found effective in preventing polio paralysis.
 The news exploded in front page headlines the world over. From hundreds of millions of par ents rose sigh of relief. Before them lay the hope that one of mankind's most haunting night mares-a life devastated by an unpredictable disease might at last be erased.
 Picture Changes
 Since that day the polio pic ture in United States has under gone radical change
 In 1857 beaches and play grounds no longer were closed because of alarm over polio cpl denies; there were none. Alth- odgh there were still cases, hos pitals were no longer jammed with fever-burned bodies render ed helpless, inert.
 The Salk vaccine will go down in history as a milestone in mans conquest over the dark forces of nature.
 The year 1857 will be remem- bered as the year of the big vac cination drive. Never before has a major step inxpreventive medi- cine been achieved on so vast a scale in so short a time.
 Ii was March of Dimes money and effort that alerted the coun- try 10 this need.
 Future Discoveries
 More of this kind of research is now going on in the crucibles of discovery that are the labora- tories where National Foundation grantees pursue their investiga- ton.
 Patient Aid
 In 1853 patient care will re- quire $21, 100000 in March of Dimes funds. Despite another ex- pected decline in new cases, this is only $60O,O0O less than was spent in 1857.
 The 1858 figure remains high because through Operation Come back many post-polios will turn to the March of Dimes for re- valuation of their condition in the light of modern rehabilitation measures and modern surgical techniques that might enable them to take their place again in the community of useful men and women.
