Another task which involves
much time, and effort by the city

In ♦* interest af the

More philosophically, "When
you become an alderman you be
come fair prey for objectors and
I haven't really minded. The tax

find they aren't always ss well

they might be."
He feels not enough citizens
attend council meetings. "We
have a fair number, some In pur

ed in city business. But perhaps
there are not as many as there
should be."
"The dty, after all, is the larg-
est business in the dty. The
school probably has a large*
budget, but all their funds come
from tax money whereas ours
comes from taxes, water, sewage
and electrical power. Consider
all the thousands of pipelines
for water and sewage. At $1.10 a

itself," he said.
At the time the light plant wa

c.n Oral Polio Vaccine stated on
Dec. 8, 1962: "Communities plan-
ning imunization campaigns
against polio are urged to move
ahead, using all three viru
types of Sabin Oral Vaccine with
particular emphasis on children
and young adults."
Local physicians point out that
the need for immunization di-
minishes with advancing age.
"As a potential risk is believed
by some to exist for adults, es-
pecially above the age of 30, we
are primarily recommending the
vaccine for children and adults
under 30 years," states Dr. Dale
R. Rhoades, city health officer.
Dr. Terry's committee has partic-
ularly recommended vaccination
for those adults who are at high-
er risk of naturally occurring
disease; for example, parents of
young children, pregnant wom-
en, persons in epidemic situa-
tions and those planning foreign
travel.
"Risks involved in getting the
disease are one in one million,"
Dr Rhoades stated. "There have
been no cases reported in Texas
connected with the Sabin vac-
cine," he said.
