month from Dublin, Ireland, and London,' where he was  called when an
epidemic of infant diarrhea threatened
the British cities.
In the State Journal interview Dr.
Cummings said in part, "Contrary to
public opinion, we're not .ready to start
Vaccinations against polio yet. If such
& situation existed, we would be the
happiest people in the world, but unfortunately a long, painstaking process of trial and error still lies ahead
before we can offer anything more
concrete, than a ray of hope.
"The story of the hours, weeks and
years of experimentation that have
■already gone in£o study of the polio
virus bears mute testimony to the
iact that this is not a problem capable
of overnight solution.
"We don't know yet what causes a
person to contract polio, so we're
working from every angle." a
What is true in the Michigan Department of Health, is true among
medical and scientific authorities
working tirelessly throughout the nation in an effort to control the ravages of dread poliomyelitis. Though
progress has been made in research
sponsored by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis and other
groups, a long battle still lies ahead,
and this battle must be largely financed by the public and rightly it
should for it is in the interest of the
public that this effort is being carried
on.
Although infantile paralysis is more
common in the summer Months, one
case is reported from Clare county at
the present time. Roger, the six year
old son of Mr, and Mrs. Herman Lower, of Sheridan township, was taken
to the Saginaw Contagious Hospital
January 15th for hospitalization and
treatment and examination revealed
him to be suffering the disease. Alt
though he was stricken in the knees,
hip and neck, thus far the attack is in
a moderate stage, and with some improvement in his condition it is hoped
that his life may be saved.
Tho Clare County Chapter of the
National Foundation is sponsoring a
President's Birthday Ball tomorrow
evening, Saturday, J'anuary 25, in recognition of the birthday of late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, founder
of the foundation/ and to assist in raising funds which will be equally divided between the National Foundation
and Clare County Chapter.
The ball will be held in the auditorium of the Clare city hall, with dancing fvom 10:00 until 2:00 o'clock to
the music of Don Bryant and His Vets.
Let'3 all remember, "While You Are
Dancing You May Help Some Child
to Walk."
Also contributing to this worthy
humanitarian cause,, is the March of
Dimes, with dime boxes located in
convenient places in business and other public places throughout the county the school children's dime card project; and activities of social and civic
groups.
Let's all help, realizing that a nickel
out of each d|me will be forwarded to
the National Foundation and the other
nickel added to the Glare county fund
for suppression of polio here at home
and to assist those who already have
or who may becme a victim of the
disease.
Pioneers
Gladwin
Tuesday evening, 39-37, in a hectic
and hair-raising second overtime period, the results determined by the
breaks of the game.
The Pioneers, as usual, got away
for a poor start and trailed GJadwin
by eight points at one time in the
second quarter, but came back fighting and kept the score close throughout the second half.
The score at the end of the regulation game was 34 all. Gladwin sunk
the ball for three points in the first
(three minute) period, Cappaert made
a field goal for Clare and Rodabaugh
was fouled just as« the whistle blew
and capitalized on the free throw to*
tie it up again at 37-37.
In the second overtime period In
high school basketball the first team
to score two points is the automatic
winner. The ball was tossed to start
the period, both Clare and Gladwin
boys jumped for it and knocked it
out of bounds. The referee awarded
the ball to Gladwin out of bounds and
the Gladwin player tossed the ball to
Schelthaus, who stood in the middle
of the floor and made a successful
throw, hit tlie rim of the basket, the
ball bounded several feet in the air
and" came down right through the
hoop to end the game 39-37 in Gladwin's favor.
Rodabaugh scored 12 points, Smith
10 and Cappaert eight, for the Green
and White.
The Little Pioneers were more suc-
cespful, defeating their Gladwin opponents 42-17, with Elwood Worstell
starring for the locals with six field
goals "for 12 points. All ten of the
second string players going to Gladwin got into the game and the scoring
was fairly even among them.
The Varsity and second team will
play Harrison here this Friday evening and both teams will go to Shepherd next Tuesday evening and to
Reed City Friday of next week.
The attendance at home games has
been good this season and it is hoped
That a good cheering section will be
present for tonight's game and as
many fans as possible will accompany
the team to Shepherd and Reed City.
