Marching Mothers to Stress
Urgent Need for Complete
3-Shot Vaccine Protection
During- the Mothers March Against Polio, which -will be
held on Thursday, January 31, the members of the Saline
Child Study Club who"" conduct the porchlight campaign, have
been asked to perform, a double service during* -their hour-
long campaign. ',. .,„-.-• •■ ■    -
On behalf of thfe. National.;.E6undation**oi Infantile"
Paralysis. the marchers will call I ^ r ; ;—*—
at every horn-a to leave a message the dread polio, for tihem. the dis- j
sfress'ing the ui-gency of Salk vac- covery is meaningless. Three" shots I
cine inoculation for parents as well, of vaccine- are recommended, and
as for all children, and they will
be collecting for the polio fund, as
they do annually.
The need for 'March of Dimes
contributions is' still great, as there
are many victims 'of polio for whom
the discovery of the Salk vaccine
came too la'te. But, unless everyone takes advantage of'the vaccine
discovery which protects   against
many parents' have not as yet, had
their children fully  protected by
seeing  that they  "have  all three i
protective shot^. |i
The Saline fire siren will signal
the beginning of the ' drive ne-jt
Thursday at 7 p.m., and it will be
a signal to all residents' to, turn on'
their porchlights and welcome the
marching mothers.
DON'T TAKE A CHANCE
fl?? Neighbori
t
By Ella V. MacQueen
The failure of parents to see to it thafth'eir children
have the full protection-of all three shots of Salk vaccine
is reported all over the country", and this community
is no exception. Young adults wider 35 years of age should
take advantage of the opportunity to get full protection..
"flow, before the polio season begins next, summer.
This apathetic attitude, especially on the part of par-,
ents, is deplorable, especially to those who were P?ho
victims or the relatives of victims who contracted polio before the long-awaited discovery of the vaccine which has
saved untold thousands from* the ravages of the dread
disease. - >
We lost a small son just three months before the discovery of* a miracle drug which could have saved mm. The
"Vaccine to protect your children is. ready today, and there-
is still time for the three-shot treatment before the polio-
season strikes.   For your sake, and theirs, don t delay.

""**" The Polio Dinner Committee of
the Jaycees, at 'a meeting Thursday, completed plans for t*hevan-
nual event which last year netted
the. Saline campaign more .than
$1,000. The. committee is hopeful that this year's1 event will set
afc all-time record.
The committee has announced
that local and area business firms
and wholesalers, will -furnish the
food for. the - meals' with Saline's
Universal Die" Casting and Manufacturing Co-rpoi-atibii footing the
bill for all meats ■consumed. Ham

"Mrs1. Gertrude Rankin and Marty
Hemenway, are'turning overtheir
resfcaurant and the services of .'its
employees, and proprietors, for-,
the .eye^t.-^ The.- occasiofii^viU".
A naval transport plane, carrying seven men on a funeral mission crashed and burned during a blinding * snow
storm Tuesday 'night at Huron River Drive near. Textile
Road, killing one man   and injuring six .others.    Picture,
taken during the storm, shows the tail section of the
plane and strewn wreckage. Light spots on picture are
snowflakes close to lens of camera.- Viewers of the
wreck marvelled that   any   of   the   airmen escaped alive.
In response to Ordinance /140
passed by "the Saline Village Council at Tuesday, eyening's meeting, The Observer obtained the
following-opinions from'soma per-,
sons whom the> new curfew -law
will effect, along with other Sa-
li'neites.
The ordinance provides that all
sixteen-year-olds and under must
be off the streets 'at. 0:00 . Sun-
jfj-j J through Thursday evenings
' and=at.11:30 p.m., on "Fridayand
Saturday evenings. The * ordinance also states that the young
people cannot be on streets before 6:00 a.m., unless they have
a specific and approved purpose
or destination.
Student opinions' were- generally
the  same. They" were,   needless
to say, rather surprised    at   the
action  ta"ken   by    the   council.
Reactions were:
Joan Begole, a 16-year-old junior- "I don't iaiink.itwill.be
worthwhile, because the few .people that are out late now will only
s'ee how far they can go and how
late  they can actually stay'out."
