EXPECT BEFINEMENTS

Mr. Martin said research scien- tists undoubtedly will develop ro- finementa in the vaccine "which will make it even more effective." The vaccine now is judged to be at least 00 per cent effective for all types of polio and as high as 90 per cent for some types.

Children receive the vaccine free. The federal government pays half the cost. the provinces the other half.

Children so far inoculated have been those in the first two grades of public school. except in Quebec where two- and three-year-olds re- ceived the injections first.

Once the six- and seven-year- olds receive their third shots, other age groups will be inoculated. Which groups will be a matter for provincial decision.

To date. there has been only one case of a child contracting polio after being vaccinated.

The polio rate in Canada up to July 26 was less than half that of the 1950-54 average.

Mr. and Mrs. Bill Maccormack, who has been located after a year by the Shelburne Rotary

Blind Musicia

A contestant in ma 1954 Cana- dian Championship Old Time Fid- dlers Contest sponsored by the Shelburne (Ontario) Rotary Club was a blind young man named Bill MacCoi-mack. from Prince Edward Island. Shortly after the contest the club. impressed with the young man's musical ability. both vocal and instrumental. and his cour- ageous demennour in spite of his handicap. voted 3100 towards the purchase of a seeing-eye dog for him. Unfortunately. the Shelburne club officials were unable to lo- cate Mr. Maccormack. and all this time the money has been kept in trust awaiting such time as he might turn up-again. This week the club officials communicated with the Guardian for lnforrnatlon and Mr. Mac- Cormack's whereabouts were promptly ascertained through the Guardian's Summerside office. Born at St. Margarets. P.E.I.. Bill. who is now 22. lost both of his eyes through illness at the age of five years. and has been totally blind since that time. Four years after the loss of his eyes Bill went to the Halifax School for the Blind where he re- mained for about eight years un- til 195l when he moved to Hamil- ton. Ont. The follnwing year he moved to Toronto where in 1954 he met and married Margaret Cormier of North Carleton. P.E.I.. who was then employed with a Toronto branch of the Bank of Montreal. In March of this year they re- turned to North Carleton. where they now operate a road-side canteen. and Bill began a regular ha1f.hour saturrlav afternoon orn- aram nver CJRW in Sttmmerslfr which has attracted an ever in- creasing number of listeners frnrv whom he receives upwards of 100 In"-rs per week. Being a member of a family gifted with musical talents. Bill's musical career did not begin until he was 14 years of age. when. while at the School for the Blind. he began playing different instru- ments snd took some vocal in- struction. Today the musical ln- struments he can play includes the guitar. violin. piano. banio. mandolin. accordion and mouth- organ. Within the past three years Bill has rsonnally composed LVPICS and music for ten songs which have proved extremely D0001” wherever they are heard. One 01 these.

His popularity as an entertainer was evidenced at the Raceway Stadium in Summerside this week when he appeared as a guest artist on the program of a group of professional entertainers from Wheeling. West Virginia, and drew tremendous applause and recalls from the 1,200 people present. Fgblights of his entertaining career have included an appear- ance on a television program in Toronto in March. 1954. and sev- eral programs at the Yacht Club in Toronto. Since returning in the Island he has. in addition to his radio programs. been in frequent demand as an entertainer at num- erous concerts. weddings and house parties.

At the present time the objec- tive of Bill and his wife. who is necessarily his fant guide. is to find ways and means of mak- ing recordings nf some of his most popular songs so that they may be had by the nuhiic.

Let's Talk It Over

5, udn

Here are some of the views of Summerside citizens. including Mayor Henry Wedge. who favor using the Brennan property, re- cently purchased by the town. as the site for the new high school and auditorium:

('1') The softball field is too small to serve as a suitable site for such a building as the new auditorium will be, in addition to the new high school.

(2) The beauty of the Brennan property will serve as a proper setting for the new buildings whose value will be enhanced by such ideal surroundings.

(3) If the softball field were used for these buildings. there would not be sufficient room for the ambitious sports program in Summerside. and inevitably there would be an agitation to use the Brennan property for softball or other sports.

0 O 0

We have tried to give some of the arguments put forward by both sides in the controversy. The significant thing is that those who favor the Brennan property as a site for the new structures are in a position to carry out their preference. for they are the ones delegated to make the deci- sions. We are sure that. "K8!!!- less of the site. 111! DOW ludllm” ium and High School will be I source of pride to our Cm?-9'15 from both a practical and pictur- esque standpolnt.

The caliber of ball the ” side little leaguera are piayllll this year is surprisingly good. We were talking on the stands re- cently to a summer visitor who lives handy Boston. He said the little league brand of ball -in his home town couldn't compare with what the kids are showing hero. He was also impressed with the gentiemanly conduct of the play- ers. even when they obviously dis- agreed with the Empire's decision.
