Faure's classic, "Requiem." prepared to face any eventuality is a wise course to follow. Many of us were brought up on the adages that stressed the value of always ready and what could happen if we were not. Sometimes we may question the value of making advance prepar-aton- s for an event that may not occur. But when we are dealing with the lives and health of our children, nobody can challenge our duty to be fully prepared. Right now tens of thousands of health officials, physicians, school authorities and lay volunteers all over the country are planning and preparing for a polio vaccine program that may start in April.
