There is urgent demand for po- talo pickers in the S arcs of Prince Edward island and 1,. the Woodstock and Grand Falls areas of New Brunswick and for wple pickers in the Annapolis Val- ley and Gagetown.
This is further aggravated by the delay in "W er-in harvest caused by wet weather. By the end of September 75 percent of

Coast To Coast-
By THE CANADIAN PRESS
The incidence in Canada or poliomyelitis this year has been just less than onehaif of last of last year's. a coast-to-coast Canadian Press survey discloses.
Authorities in the 10 provinces say widespread use of the Salk anti-poio vaccine. is cool summer and usual fluctuation in the dis- case's cycle appear to be the fac- tom in its sharp decline to 435 cases. from 887 to the same date in 1955.
so far 15 deaths have been rec- nrtlcd this year. 14 less than in the comparative period last year.
Health officials said it is too early to say how effective the Salk vaccine has been in combat- ting the disease but added that few children who were given shots have been stricken and nearly all were mild cases.
iiany mddicai experts give the major credit for the low incidence in the overall cool and damp stun-

Polio Shows Sharp Decline
This Year
mer. while others say that polio's four-year cycle is in a decline after a peak in 1953.
Officials are not prepared to draw conclusions from Ontario's comparatively slight drop in cases from 150 in 1955 to 14 so far this year. Statisticians now are making a study of the trend in the last five'years to pin down the factors bearing on polio in- eldence. Deaths totalled four this year and there were five to this
Toronto has recorded seven cases in 1956. with no deaths. compared to six cases and one death ast year. The city's peak

The exception to the 1056 over- al drop may be Quebec province, where the total so far is 90. only one behind the figure for all 1955. Five have died so far. compared to 1! last year. .
In the Atantic provinces New Brunswick's 1955 total was halved to 17, a figure way below the five- year 1051-1955 average of 13 cases. Official comment was can- tious: "It may just be a low-polio year."
Nova Scotia said 16 cases were notified. exactly 1 less than last years comparative total to the same date.
