Hénderson of the local March of Dimes Commit- tee, stated that the Ontario March of Dimes were making a considerable effort to encourage adults to become immunized, and that the recent heavy of polio in eastern Ontario had emphasized the need to continue this project on a top priority basis. Of 28 cases in Cornwall and 18 in Ottawa this summer, all were paralytic and several need- ed iron lungs. The March of Dimes provided five portable respirators in these communities.
