February, 1954 The Health Bulletin 11 "Moreover, the committee said their 6tudy of the family contact use indicated that when gamma globulin was administered to exposed persons before they came down with paralytic polio, there was no measureable effect on the severity of the ensuing paralysis." The health service said the 20-mem-ber committee had "studied medical data from all parts of the country which had been collected and analyzed since the end of last year's polio season" by the staff of the health service's Communicable Disease Center (CDC) at Atlanta. The evaluation program was sponsored by the health service in collaboration with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers, the American Physical Therapy Assn. and the D. T. Watson School of Physiatrics, which is affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Dr. Alexander Langmuir, chief epidemiologist of CDC, was chairman of the committee which included the following non-governmental representatives: Miss Lucy Blair, consultant, professional services, American Physical Therapy Assn., New York. Dr. Roy F. Feemster, director, division of communicable diseases, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Boston. Dr. Thomas Francis Jr., professor of epidemiology, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor. Dr. D. G. Gill, state health officer, Alabama Department of Public Health, Montgomery. Dr. A. L. Gray, director of preventable disease control, Mississippi State Board of Health, Jackson. Dr. William Hammon, professor of epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health. Dr. Robert F. Korns, director, bureau of epidemiology and communicable disease control, New York Department of Health, Albany. Dr. John R. Paul, professor of preventive medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven. Dr. John D. Porterfield, director of health, Ohio Department of Health, Columbus. Dr. Albert B. Sabin, director, children's Hospital Research Foundation, Cincinnati. Dr. Leonard M. Schuman, deputy director for division of preventive medicine, Illinois Department of Public Health, Springfield. Dr. Thomas F. Sellers, state health officer, Georgia Department of Public Health, Atlanta. Dr. Jessie Wright, medical director, D. T. Watson School of Physiatrics, Pittsburgh. * * * * DO YOU WANT TO BE A DOCTOR? Whatever the trials and tribulations of a career in medicine, it seems we'll always have doctors. This reassuring prospect for the future health of the nation is borne out by the spontaneous response received by a leading insurance company to an advertisement it ran recently in national magazines. The double-page ad, entitled "Should Your Child Be A Doctor?" and written by Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, emeritus consultant in medicine at the Mayo Clinic, appeared in Collier's, Ladies' Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post. It is one of a series which the company is running on choosing a career. Hundreds of letters poured into the company from all parts of the country written by parents, students, educators at the high school and college level and distinguished practitioners. The letters, praising the advertisement and the public service it performs, contained so many requests for reprints that the company has made it available in booklet form. Typical of the letters was one from a young girl in Nevada whose ambition is "to become a child specialist," a pre-med student at Texas A & M heard about the ad and wanted a copy; a mother of two children, aged 6 and 8%, wanted it to file away for the children to read when the time comes;
