Hi All:

A new book of potential interest to members of this list was
successfully launched in Montreal on March 28. It is called:

"Walking Fingers: The Story of Polio and Those Who Lived With It"

and is edited by Sally Aitken, Helen D'Orazio and Stewart Valin and
published by Vehicule Press.

Walking Fingers tells the story of polio--its history and Canada's
pivotal role in the production and mass distribution of vaccine to
thousands of children, and the story of determined people and
organizations (like the March of Dimes) who raised funds for
immunization clinics across Canada in the late 1950s. At the core of
the book are 36 poignant stories of polio survivors and their
care-givers from all walks of life, including Paul Martin, Jr.
Arranged in chronological order (from the date of their infection,
ranging from 1923 to 1984), their accounts reveal the evolution of
medical treatment in Canada over the last 80 years

I've posted the cover of the book on the home page of my PolioHistory Group,
