To Issue Polio Post Quarterly

"It has been decided by those connected with the publication of the Polio Post. that beginning with the next issue it will changed from a monthly to a quarterly Issue." stated Mr. Jerry Mccormack in an interview last night. Mr. Mc- Cormack. who is the Editor of the Post. stated that this will enable them to put out a bigger and more readable ' . "Until now, "he said" we have been putting out an issue on an average of every month and as everyone knows this is not an easy job when you have to contend with exercises. rest periods and operations. so it is felt that by having one issue every three months more time andl thought can be put into each publication resulting in a far more interesting paper for the reader."

"Tuberculosis of the bone case are now being treated at the Polio Centre and with the inclusion of articles on this disease in future copies. we are expecting quite an increase in our circulation." he said. "In the past we have senll the Post to our readers free oi charge and we are not planning to put it on a subscription basis now, but any person now receiving this magazine and anyone who would like to receive it can heir to defray our expenses by sending a contribution to either me person ally or to the Polio Post, Polio Centre, Charlottetown. P. E. I.' The next copy of the Post is expected to be ready for mailing in about five days and promises to be the best issue of the ten already published to date. In it Therapy by Miss Mera Lewis advice to Polio parents by Miss Heather MacLean. Senior Physio-

therapist; an interview on bone T. B with Dr. T. Gencheff. Orthepaedic Surgeon. and two

articles on how to make the best use of hospitalization by patients at the Centre. There will also be numerous item including poems. Famous Quotes. sketches on some of the patients. etc.

"The object of the Post is to acquaint the families and friends of patient in the Centre. of the disease. and of the activities here.

are sailing round the west coast of Britain in the royal yacht Britan- ma.

While the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh fulfilled public engag ments in the area. the children were brought ashore and taken to the castle home of the Earl and Countess of Stair. The earl's daugh- ter. Lady Jean Ranking. revealed details of the fishing trip after the Briannia had sailed away.

"Princess Anne was thrilled and shouted excitedly when she caught a small perch." Lady Rankin said. RIDES FIRST BICYCLE

She also reported that Anne rode a bicycle for the first time Wed- nesday. .

Two accidents marred the royal visit to Stranraer.

About 20 men, women and child-

en standing on a small wooden ridge to watch the Britannia leave plunged 15 feet into a stream when the bridge collapsed.

The stream was only about Ill inches deep but some people were injured. They were taken to hos- pital in private cars belonging to ioihers watching the royal depar- iture.

The accident occurred after the Britannia had left the local dock- yard and was too far out for the Queen to have seen what happened.

Earlier. while the Queen and the duke were presenting prizes at the local agricultural show. a man and a woman clambered on to the roof of a refreshment pavilion just op- posite the royal box.

The roof gave way. they fell ailzotlit 20 feet. and ended up in hos- p a.
