children in the world
against polio. Rotarians in
‘160 countries are conduc-
ting a $120 million fund-
raising effort to reach the
immunization goal.

A large cadre of Rotari-
an volunteers is being re-
cruited to lead the fund-
raising effort. They in-
clude Wayne Braid of Ter-
race, a member of the Ter-
race Rotary Club, who has
been appointed one of the
Area Coordinators of the
PolioPlus Campaign in

District 504. He will coor- .

dinate fund-raising activi-
_ ties in five Rotary Clubs in
this district.

.Braid is one of six Area
Coordinators leading the
. fund-raising campaign in
‘the District. These Rotari-
ans are among about
"3,100’who are working as
volunteer fund-raisers in
447 Rotary districts a-

to purchase all the polio -

vaccines for the 60 to 70
million children who go
without polio protection
in developing countries
each year. In the fight
against polio, Rotary [n-
ternational is working
with the World Health Or-
ganization (WHO) and
supports the WHO goal of
conquering all six dreaded
childhood diseases — that
can be prevented by vac-
cinations: polio, measles,
tuberculosis, diptheria,
pertussis (whooping
cough) and tetanus.
HEALTH THREAT
‘While poliomyelitis has
been virtually eliminated
in industrialized countries,
it remains a serious health -
threat in the developing

nations. It is a spécial
danger to children under

three years of age. Each

year some 275,000 chil-
dren become its victims in
the Third World. Ten per-
cent of them die, and
about 70 percent suffer
permanent paralysis or
residual weakness of af-
fected muscles.

In eight years, Rotary
International has made.
grants to the sum of

$37,415,200 for polio im- —

munization projects in-42
countries, When all 42 are
completed (most projects

. last five years), a total of

240,733,000 children will.
have been protected from
polio. The first Rotary

- grant to fight the disease

was $760,000 made for the
1979. beginning of a pro-

ject in the Philippines, It is

hoped that the immuniza-
tion of all children will be
completed by no later than
2005, the year of. Rotary’s
100th anniversary.

Terrace lies in an area with
a certain amount: of
geological instability...
The moonscape of an-
cient lava flows in the
Tseax area north of the
city and the steam rising
off pooled waters by
Lakelse Lake are evidence
that, beneath the feet of

_ pedestrians strolling .in-
nocuously down the city’s |

streets, inconceivable

energies sit compressed

and ready to relieve stress.
by shaking the ground,
Terrace, however, is an

unlikely site for a major

upheaval according to.
Allan Gottesfeld, a
geology instructor at
Northwest Community

Terrace lies on a fault line

few million years there has

‘been about a mile of ver-
tical movement along that

line,”” he said, ‘There is
