Step POLIO Before POLIO Stops Your ChM! POLIO wards in Oklahoma were crowded to capacity last year when the epidemic struck down twice as many children as it did in 1945 Hospitals were not prepared for this increase What will happen if POLIO cases double in 1947? Will Oklahoma still be unprepared? Will there be enough nurses enough doctors and enough of everything to prevent the horrifying spectacle of 840 Oklahoma youngsters some dead some crippled for life because the people of Oklahoma failed to give enough money to insure adequate care for them?
