THIS WEEK'S QUOTATION comes from one of our early presidents, who was a radical free thinker, and made his thoughts clear. His name, Thomas Jefferson, and he is reported to have written;
"When the people fear the government you have tyranny...when the government fears the people you have liberty."
A ROTARY MOMENT
Mankind's battle with the Polio virus took the first turn for the better in 1955 when Dr. Jonas Salk invented the first inoculation process with a killed virus and within a few years polio was a thing of the past in all industrialized countries. Developing countries continued to suffer though, and with transportation systems throughout the world able to spread the disease, the battle was not finished. With the development of an oral vaccine in 1960, by Dr. Albert Sabin, a method arrived to attack the problem in remote areas. The 1978 Ri President was Clem Renouf, who created a project named Health, Hunger and Humanity, out of which gradually grew the polio plus project we know today.
