Final compromise was a meas ure which said the Board should he full time for the fir* year with each member receiving $15,- 000. Beginning in September, 1058. it was to become part-time with each member receiving $80 per day. Up to 300 working days a year (worth firi/XM) was au thonsad Actually, to work 300 days out of 3A5 the Board would have to work Saturdays and holidays - or else give up vacations.

It is urging vaccination for everyone under 40, and one es timate is that 44 million persons between 20 and 39 years of age are without any polio protection. Under 20, the most vulnerable period, the picture is different, but not as good as it should lie. the foundation says. Here’s the way it looks. Of those under 20, 66 per cent have all three doses of the Salk vaccine; 9 per cent have two doses and 2 per cent have only one dose That means 23 per cent of the nation’s teen-agers and chil dren have no polio protection.
