March of Dimes
Issues Warning
on Rise of Polio
On the fifth anniversary of
the Francis Report, which on
April 12, 1955, found that the
Salk polio vaccine was "safe,
effective and potent," Richard
T. Kelly, chairman of the Wayne
County Chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paral-
ysis, issued a warning that para-
lytic polio is on the rise..
Kelly said that public apathy
is responsible for the upswing,
adding that only 38 per cent
of the nation's population has
had the prescribed three injec-
tions of the vaccine.
Figures listed by Kelly indi-
cated that the • incidence of
paralytic polio dropped from
18,850 in 1955 to -7,911 in 1956
and to 2,499 in 1957.
In 1958, with Detroit having
the worst • epidemic in the na-
tion, 3,697 cases were reported,
and last year there were 5,694,
which represents, Kelly said, a
"substantial and ominous up-
turn."
"On the fifth anniversary of
the Francis Report, the Detroit
Chapter is joining the nation's
3,100 March of Dimes chapters
in urging everyone to receive
polio shots," Kelly said.
"One urgent reason for re-
doubling our efforts is that to-
day, almost on the eve of the
`polio season,' almost 91,000,000
in the United States (among
them 5,000,000 children under
five, the most vulnerable period
for infantile paralysis), is with-
but any Salk vaccination.

April to Be Cancer
Control Month in
State; Launch Drive
Gov. G. Mennen Williams
has proclaimed April as Cancer
Control Month, urging that "all
our people observe this period
through increased support of
the efforts of the American
Cancer Society."
A copy of the Governor's pro-
clamation, concurring with one
issued several days ago for
the entire nation by 'President
Eisenhower, was received in be-
half of the residents of Wayne,
Oakland and Macomb Counties,
by the American Cancer So-
ciety's Southeastern Michigan
Committee, Inc., 2895 W. Grand
Blvd., Detroit.
Gov: Williams noted in his
proclamation that the research,
service and education programs
of the American Cancer Society
have helped to save 1,000,000
Americans, now living and
cured of cancer. He pointed
out that early detection and
prompt treatment could pre-
vent 85,000 needless cancer
deaths each year—deaths which
he described as being due to
"ignorance, delay and neglect."
The Governor urged the pub-
lic to learn "all the facts abOut
cancer that are vital to per-
sonal protection against death
from this disease."
The American Cancer So-
ciety's traditional educational
and fund-raising Crusade will
be conducted by its Southeast-
ern Michigan Committee, Inc.,
during April, climaxing with a
house-to-house drive April 26.
