Show Polio Immunization to be Emphasized March March 27 to 31 will be Do It Now week for polio immunization throughout Utah and Governor George D. Clyde and many city and county officials are joining with the Utah State Medical Association in urging citizens to do something about polio immunization now." Despite the fact that in the Salk vaccine we have one of the best preventive measures yet discovered to fight a disease, there are still far too many who have not taken advantage of the safeguard, points out Dr. Wallace S. Brooke, president of the Utah State Medical Association. Incidents of polio in Utah have increased during the past two years and the major reason is that too many people are not vaccinated, according to Dr. Brooke. Utah has one of the best records in the nation for the immunization of school children. But even this is not good enough. Every child should have this protection, he reports. The record in Utah is poorest at and adult ages. the When the vaccine was first brought into general use, it was recommended for children and adults up to 40. Experience has proved that the protection is almost as important for adults as for children. The National Polio Foundation strongly advocates immunization for adults of all ages. Three shots are required to build up maximum immunity to polio. The second shot should follow the first by about one month. The third should be given about seven to twelve months later. This means about pre-scho- ol a 27-3-1 jear for the full program and its resulting protection. The frequency of booster shots following the original immunization program is still being debated by medical men, but authorities generally agree that a booster shot is desirable one year after the basic three-shprogram is completed.

The joint commission is an agency established by the American College of Physicians, American College of Surgeons, American Hospital Association, and the American Medical Association to conduct the hospital survey and inspection program. Accreditation of a hospital means that it has voluntarily submitted to a survey of its facilities and its patient care, said Dr. Kenneth B. Babcock, commission director. It is a badge of recognition which the hospital can display to its community to prove that it conforms to high standards of patient care. Among the hospitals accredited were the Carbon Hospital at Price and the Utah Permanente Hospital at Dragerton. is commander. er N E W S - A D V O C A T E Number 12 The problem of water shortages, both for culinary and irrigation uses, is again rearing into the forefront of discussions and planning sessions but this year the problem bodes a more serous aspect due to the shortages of snow in the mountains of the Price River drainage area during this past winter. Present forecasts of stream flow in the Price River drainage area indicate that the supply will be only about 30 per cent of normal for all water users of the area this coming summer. In order to alleviate this serious shortage in the culinary water field, Price city is ever-prese- hammers permeate the air and give every indication that the treatment plant is being constructed as quickly as possible in order to be ready to supplement the water supply of Price city and its other users by of this year. The contractor has 180 days in which to complete the plant and from the present progress it is almost a foregone conclusion that this deadline will be met or bet- nt currently engaged in an extensive program to obtain more culinary water which is hoped will prevent the necessity of ordering any large-sca- le curtailments of water this summer to culinary users. The city officials have held a meeting with representaitves of the Garden Waterusers organization to seek their cooperation in using irrigation water as beneficially as possible with the full realization that a normal supply will not be available for the entire summer. Collect More Water The city administration is presently engaged in the construction of an underground collection system in the Colton springs area which should supplement the normal supply of the city and possibly make up in part for the decreased flow of water of the springs which supply the citys culinary needs. In addition to this project, the city is presently negotiating with other waterusers to exchange early water for water that can be used later in the year through the treatment plant which is now under construction near Royal . It is pointed out that one problem exists that will require the cooperation of every culinary on Price citys water line. This is that Price city must supply the Independent Coal and Coke Company and the town of Castle Gate with water for a period of ten days to two weeks while changes and improvements are made to the line that belongs to the Independent Coal and Coke Company at the site of the water treatment plant. It will be necessary for the city to replace a small eight-incline with a larger eightee- mid-summ- er C. E. WOOLERY Communism Threat Nick tered.
