Vaccine Against Polio NOW
When controversy leads to public enlightment, we’re
all for it. But there are times when controversy results in
public confusion, with disastrous results. This is particular
ly true when experts clash on technical points that cannot
be gasped quickly by those of us without scientific back
ground.
We fervently hope the recent controversy over the rela
tive merits of polio vaccines will not discourage parents
from seeing that their families are given a full series of
Salk shots immediately. This is the critical time of year
when the unprotected are most exposed to the polio attack.
The Salk vaccine is available now. It is more than 90 per
cent effective in preventing paralytic polio. Those who
have not been vaccinated are gambling against the pos
sibility of being crippled for life through their own negli
gence.
Whether or not the Sabin live-virus vaccine is a better
vaccine than Dr. Salk’s is a matter for scientists and
physicians to decide — later. The National Foundation,
which financed all the research leading to both vaccines
with funds contributed to the March of Dimes, gives the
only sound advice which parents can follow. It points out
that, since no live-virus vaccine has yet been licensed for
distribution, since you cannot get live-virus vaccine from
your physician, and since the present polio "season” will be
over before mass production, licensing and distribution of
the live-virus vaccine are completed, there is only one
course of action for conscientious parents to pursue. Get
your family started on a full series of Salk shots TODAY.
Millions of pre-school children and young adults are still
without protection. These are the age groups most open to
attack.
Don’t let technical controversy confuse you. Vaccinate
NOW.

How wonderful it is to enjoy vibrant health. Wealth means
nothing when health is gone. The best investment a person

At the outbreak of the Civil War, one hundred years
ago, Georgia was at her peak of prosperity and prog
ress. The population had increased to 1,057,286, several
railroads had been chartered, banking institutions num
bered 26, commerce and agriculture had been greatly
stimulated and the public wealth of the state had in
creased over $60,000,000 during one year alone.
Cotton was still king in Georgia, with production of
corn close behind, but we were far from being depen
dent solely upon an agrarian economy. During the ten
years prior to the Civil War, Georgia had made tre
mendous strides in industrial expansion. The amount
of capital invested in manufacturing and the annual
value of industrial products in this state was exceeded
only by Virginia and Tennessee in the South. Our rail
road mileage was greater than any other state in the
South except for Virginia, and Atlanta was one of the
most important railroad centers in the United States.
The hands and minds of Georgians had taken a wilder
ness of mountains, forests, red clay and swamps and
molded it into a thriving, prosperous and proud state.
We had passed through the lean pioneer years into a
golden age and emerged as the Empire state of the
South.
Seceding from the Union was a serious menace to
the progress of our state. On the other hand, there
were forces threatening that which was even more
important than our progress—our independence as a
state.
On November 7, 1860, the day of Lincoln’s election,
the Georgia Legislature convened for its annual session.
The result of the presidential election was yet un
known, but many Georgians believed that Lincoln’s
election was a foregone conclusion. This, by itself, was
enough to warrant secession among many Georgians.
Lincoln’s popularity in this state at that time was re
flected in the fact that he received not one single vote
for president, probably the only presidential candidate
who has ever registered zero among the voters of
Georgia.
Some of the greatest leaders in Georgia history were
present at the 1860 legislative session. Most of those
who favored John C. Breckinridge for president de
manded immediate secession. The brilliant orator,
Thomas R. R. Cobb, his brother, Howell Cobb, who
resigned as U. S. Secretary of Treasury, and Robert
Toombs, urged the legislature and the people to take
Georgia out of the Union.
Other prominent Georgians such as Benjamin H.
Hill, Alexander Stephens and Hershel Johnson, believ
ing that the South’s grievances could be remedied
within the Union, urged Georgia not to secede. Gover
nor Joseph E. Brown and the legislature called for a
state convention of delegates to meet and consider the
advisability of secession. This assembly met in Milledge
ville on January 16, 1861, and voted 166 to 130 in favor
of secession. The Ordinance of Secession was adopted
on January 19, and Georgia was formally out of the
Union.
Disunion, in itself, did not mean war. To many it
was a means of demanding more favorable terms for
the Southern states, with the ultimate aim of returning
to the Union. To others, it was a plan for a Confederacy
to prevent disintegration of the South—and, to some, it
was an expression of defiance for the failure of Cong
ress to guarantee protection of Southern institutions.
Georgia, along with her sister states, was moving
unwittingly toward the brink of disaster. Her proud
sons and daughters, faced with little choice but dis
honor and utter submission, were being forced uv.a
the path of tragedy.

In bringing electricity to rural areas, a quar
ter century ago, Rural Electric Systems
harnessed the cooperative spirit of rural people.
Now, almost 98 percent of rural America enjoys
low-cost electricity—and members of America’s
electric co-ops create a billion dollar market
yearly for goods and services because of it!
Today, we face the problems of under-em
ployment and economic distress in many areas.
There is the need to revitalize many communi
ties —to renew our vigor and dedication to the
task of making these communities come alive
and prosper ... to make them attractive to
our young people, and to newcomers ... to
create job opportunities . . . build for a better
life . . .
By cooperation and hard work we helped
bring light to the dark areas, many years ago.
With continuing cooperation, understanding,
and by working together—city and country
folks alike —we can meet the challenge of area
re-development! . . .
