One of the nation's largest v"bank: accounts" against the pos-sibility of enemy attack is the Offtca of Defense and Civilian Mobilization's stockpile of stra-tegic materials. Stored away in 43 ODCM ware-houses across the United States are about $225,000,000 worth of medical and engineering supplies enough to aid millions of Americans after an attack. MEDICAL STOCKPILES in-clude 1,932 civil defense emer-gency hospital units and back-u- p supplies estimated sufficient for the emergency medical care cf 4V4 million persons for three weeks. In the engineering stock-piles are approximately 25,000 tons of equipment and supplies. They contain mate-rial essential to restoration of public facilities water pumps, generators, purifiers, storage tanks, pipe and simi-lar items. To assure that this survival "hardware" will be located where it would be most needed after an attack, ODCM has chos-en warehouse sites convenient to but outside the nation's 92 critical targets. Among these storage sites are three "general reserve" ware-houses with stockpiles designed to supply any section of the country. Most unusual of these reserve storage areas is the vast( underground warehouse in a con-verted limestone mine near-Neosho- , Mo. IS THIS HUGE privates-owne- d cave, shared by ODCM with the stockpiles of industrial concerns, is 14 acres of space served by special automatic sprinkling and ventilating equip-ment. Kenny Foundation Co-Spons-ors Live Polio Vaccine Test Minneapolis, Minn. Financed in part by a grant from the Sister Elizabeth Kenny founda-tion, a test of "tamed" live virus iiifWJ ""in i , 1 ' 1 ' polio vaccine, ad-ministered orally in capsule form or in infants' for-mula, is currently being conducted by the state of Minnesota, ac-cording to Dr. E. J. Huenekens, na-tional medical di-rector. Participants in " the test, results Dr. Huenekens o which wU, fee evaluated in 1959, include a ma-jority of 1,400 residents of Uni-versity of Minnesota village, near the campus here. Co-spons- of the project is Lederle Laboratories, Pearl River, N. Y. The Pan-Americ- an Sanitary bureau, a branch of the World Health Organization, also is using the oral polio vaccine in tests in Central and South America. A severe polio outbreak in Columbia last spring resulted in a program of oral vaccine ad-ministration to both children and adults throughout that stricken South American country. Dr. Mauricio da Silva, for-merly on the Elizabeth Kenny institute staff in Minneapolis and University of Minnesota assist-ant professor of pediatrics, now a special polio consultant with the Pan-Americ- Sanitary bu-reau, helped plan the Latin American vaccine trials and is medical supervisor of the study. The oral vaccine against each of the three types of polio is given at three-wee- k intervals. It is considered capable of con-ferring long-lastin- g immunity against polio without booster doses. Grownups take the vaccine in capsule form. For infants and small children, the capsule is opened and the contents stirred into a spoonful of jam or liquid. r t V I I , f- ? j j , THINGS ARE LOOKING UP for this little Miss, a post-poli- o Satient at a Sister Elizabeth foundation treatment and rehabilitation center. Thousands of boys, girls and adults, too, are leading normal, useful, hap-py lives after having received Kenny treatment for polio. The same Kenny treatment which helped polio patients is being found beneficial in the treatment and rehabilitation of those with other neuromuscular disabilities. Kenny treatment and rehabili-tation are made possible as re-sult of generous public contri-butions to Kenny fund appeals. The Kenny foundation pro-vides the full Kenny Treatment, under medical supervision. Since Kenny medical and treatment techniques, used for polio cases, have proven beneficial in the treatment and rehabilitation for other crippling disorders, the Kenny foundation is continuing and expanding its services to include thousands of unfortunate victims of other neuromuscular diseases and disorders.
