Polio cases reported during the last fifteen years are as follows:
Average
Per Year
1938 to 1942 inclusive 31,993 6,398
1943 to 1947 inclusive 81,530 16,306
1948 to 1952 inclusive 189,629 37,926
POLIO Cases Reported in 1952 _ 57,249
You can see at a glance that Polio cases are increasing year by
year, with 1952 the worst of all.
The annual premium for a whole family is small and with the
policy covering Blanket Medical Expense up to $5,000.00 on
seven other dread diseases—you surely want this protection
when the cost is only a few pennies a day.

little shadow right behind me'
She’d wait until I turned/around,
and then followed me. •‘‘Tardy”
was marked on my report card
every such morning, and never
did I tell the teacher why . . .
cause after all, wasn’t she worth
it? I’ll say she was, and still is!
Then we reminisced again! Me
shadow’s grown up now and has
a little son in Kindergarten at
Cochran, Ga. Graduation Night
... they looked like little midgets
in white Caps and Gowns, if you
please . . . but the picture I re

only, inquisitive Guy of three, |
did not stand like a starry eyed |
angel, meek, with his Dip in his'
hands ... no siree! Through the \
end he had guessed the contents! i
Rolled inside that Diploma was a
stick of red candy . . . and out it ।
came and business picked up all
over the platform when they saw .
what he had found! Then we
saw the shadow graduate one ■
time, (many, many years ago)]
and believe it or not she had to*
make her own dress and all of
them did! I could tell you about
mine too . . . but you meet me ’
outside for that . . . something
very funny happened! Yes, to
me!
