nurses will give the anti-polio in
jections from 6-S p. m, Wednes-
day evening. March 25. On Satur-
day, April 4, teams will be at the
Middletown School, 504 South
Broad Street, from Gil a. m. Will
mington's City Health Unit at 1913
Walnut Street will also be open
for the shots from 9-12 noon on
April f.
Warm weather and the promise
of an early summer make early in
oculation against polio even more
important. This is especially true
for people who have not received
three shots of the Salk vaccine. The
inactivated polio organisms in the
vaccine cause the human body to
develop protecting agents, called
antibodies. When the polio virus
gets into the system, these anti
bodies attack and kill it before a
true case of poliomyelitis can de-
velop. But it takes time for the
antibodies to form, and the peak
polio season is approaching. Two
shots should give protection for the
summer of 1859 if the first is re-
:eived now and the second in about
thirty days.
Two shots are never full protec-
tion. Being polio-proof for long
periods of time requires at least
three shots of today's vaccine. Per-
sons who got three shots of the
iower-pOtency vaccine available be-
lore 1857 should have a fourth or
booster shot this spring. This is
especially true of young children
ind their parents and of pregnant
mothers, the more susceptible
groups. Authorities point out that
yaccinated people can still carry
The virus to the unprotected with
out becoming i'll themselves.
Recent studies reported that mo
hers who receive polio shots be-
ore the birth of their children give
higher than normal antibody lev
ell to the infants at birth While the
evel is lower than that given BY
shots themselves, it will lessen the
)aby'S chances of contracting polio
before he starts his own series.
Children and teenagers in schools
will receive booster doses in
spring in in-school inoculation pro
rams. This will mean that this
group will have no need for the
rec public clinics unless they have
lot had three shots by now. The
sponsors feel that the clinics can
provide quicker and better service
o adults and pre-school children
~ this improved distribution of
The work load.
This year, for the first time,
;tate-purchased vaccine is avail
able for private office administra-
ion to people who have their own
doctors, but cannot afford to pur-
chase the vaccine. Physicians, if
lotified few days in advance, can
let vaccine for this group through
he State Board of Health. They
ire also, of course, continuing to
provide the Salk shots on the usual
Zee basis for anyone who wants it.

Post ONCE officials say a pro-
posed limitation on how small
a mailed letter can be, sched-
uled to be effective July /, has
been postponed because the de-
partment has revised it's think
ing on the subject.
The July / limitation would
have ruled out both first and
third class envelopes smaller
than ga by 4 inches.
Now the prospect is that the
limitation will apply to any en-
velope under 8 by s inches, along
with a requirement that the
envelopes must be rectangular.
This will possibly be made eff
fective July /, 1861.
officials said this will give
the public additional time to
adjust to the proposed restric-
tions. described as required by
increasing use of machines for
processing mail which tend to
become fouled by odd shapes.
The Post Office Department
in 1855 applied the 234 by 4 inch
restriction to international mail
at the request of the Universal
Postal Union. Two years ago
1t announced the same restric-
ton would apply to domestic
envelopes July i, 1859. How
ever, Congress last year directed

problem, and was recently given
notice of the 3-by-5-inch pro-
posal suggested to be effective

New Peak Hit
REPRODUCTION

Industrial production hit a

Economic activity continued
to increase in April" the Fed
eral Reserve Board said yester-
day in reporting the new high.
Industrial production rose fur
ther and housing starts re-
manned at an exceptionally
high level.
"Gains in employment were
widespread and a decrease in
unemployment was consider
ably more than seasonal. Con-
sumner incmes and buying were
at record levels"
The board computes indus
trial production in cmparison
to the average output in the
three years 1947-49.
The highest point the index
reached prior to the recession
was LAG in February, 1857. The
recession low was 1876 in April.
1858. The progression peak
was surpassed in March OF. this
year. when the index reached
lat.
In April, the figure advanced
two points more to 149--a gain
of % points in a year.
The Reserve Board said pro-
duction N durable goods indus
tries rose substantially in April,
steel output bucked the sea-
sonal trend to reach a post
recession high, soft goods pro-
duction was up slightly, but
output was little
changed.
There were significant gains
in industrial machinery and
