State Health Officer
Gives Some Advice
Regarding Hot Days
Emphasizes Fact That
Hazards of Heat May
Prove Fatal
Precautions against over-heating
and excessive sunburn are urged by
Dr. J. W. R. Norton, North Carolina
State Health Officer. “Regardless of
what may be the daily weather fore
casts,” he said, “we have entered the
summer season and may expect many
excessively hot days from now until
fall. Moreover, we have come to the
time of the year when many of us en
gage in pastimes and practices which
expose us to the hazards of heat.
“There are a few simple rules the
observance of which might spare us
much discomfort, perhaps illness and,
in some cases, even death,” Dr. Nor
ton continued. “At the first sign of
becoming overheated, we should stop
what we are doing and rest, and if
certain symptoms manifest them
selves, we should seek not only first
aid, but medical assistance, as well. It
is even better to avoid reaching the
point of feeling that overheating or
overexposure to the sun is being ex
perienced.
“It is also well to remember that
overexposure to the sun’s rays may
cause burns with serious effects. Ser
ious burns may result from overex
posure to the sun. The result is the
same, regardless of the inflicting
agent. There are three degrees of
burns: first, which redden the skin,
without blistering; second, which re
sult in blisters, and third degree
burns, which‘seriously injure, and
sometimes destroy, the deeper tis
sues. Overexposure to the sun may re
sult in burns of any of these three
degrees. It is, therefore, best to avoid
overexposure and let discretion be the
better part of valor. While brunettes
can stand more hot sunshine than
blonds, it is well for both to avoid
the causes of severe skin, perhaps
tissue, burns”.
Dr. Norton also emphasized the im
portance of patronizing only those ar
tificial swimming pools which meet
sanitary requirements. “To conform
to these requirements,” the State
Health Officer said, “pools should
receive a constant and uninterrupted
application of chlorine, which, unless

the flow is constant, is soon The
water should also be examined daily
for bacterial content, as swimmers
invariably get water into their
mouths, ears, eyes and swallow por

to any swimming pool operator and
to advise him not only as to how a
pool should be constructed, but also
how it should be maintained, to
keep it safe for its patrons”.
New Hope Seen In
War Against Polio
Cause For Optimism as
Result of Scientific
Study
The conquest of infantile paralysis
is now within sight, Alton L. Blakes
lee, noted science writer, predicts in
a pamphlet published by the Public
Affairs Committee, Inc., of New
York.
“No one can predict just when the
victory will come, or in what way,”
he adds, “but medical science is mak
ing such progress that there is real
cause for optimism.”
Such striking progress has been
made in treatment during the past
ten years that only about 15 to 25
per cent of polio victims are now
“left more or less severely handicap
ped. . . . Forty to 60 per cent of the
children or adults who get the illness
in recognizable form will recover com
pletely, or almost completely, without
any visible evidence of paralysis.”
Scientific study of means for pre
venting the disease has been slower,
Mr. Blakeslee admits in the pamph
let “Polio Can Be Conquered, but he
lists a number of recent developments
that appear to carry great promise.
Monkeys have been inoculated against
polio safely and effectively, he points
out. Unfortunately, the vaccine does
not protect the monkeys against all
strains of the virus and thus could
not offer satisfactory protection for
humans.
Top scientists are cited as believing
that a safe vaccine for humans will i
some day be found. The recent suc
cess of scientists in almost completely
purifying one kind of polio virus :
should hasten this day, Mr. Blakeslee
declares.
“Drugs and other chemicals have
been found.” he reveals, which “pro
tect mice against viruses like the
> • - ■ > • ...
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1949,
polio virus, or which help the mice
recover when they are given the vir
ruses.” So far, however, none has been
used successfully on humans.
Although little is known about the
way in which polio spreads, the
pamphlet carries a number of tips
for parents in the event that infant
ile paralysis breaks out in epidemic
form in their neighborhood. Parents
are urged to:
1 1. Watch for symptoms that may
I be weathervanes of polio: a tired feel
ing, headache, nausea, upset stomach,
pains or stiffness in the muscles, or
a fever. A big part of the victory in
polio is immediate rest and immediate
treatment.
2. Avoid crowds. There is no way
of telling who has the virus, who is
becoming sick, or who is a healthy,
unaffected carrier.
3. Keep children from becoming
overtired or chilled.
4. Do not let children ’swim in
polluted waters. Attacks of polio have
followed after such experiences.
5. Keep clean. Make sure that the
children wash their hands before eat
ing.
6. Keep garbage covered and screen
the house against flies.

Lee Blakeslee, is Pamphlet No. 150 in

FFA And 4-H Boys
Now Being Chosen
For Training Camp
County Forest Warden Frank V.
White announces that vocational
agriculture and agricultural extension
leaders are now selecting FFA and
4-H boys to attend the annual forestry
training camp held by the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment on August 15-20, at Singletary
Lake. Fifty boys who have carried
on outstanding forestry projects on
their farms will be chosen for this
honor. The Seaboard Railroad will al
so send 20 boys from other Southern
States.
The camp, sponsored each year by
the member mills of the Southern
Pulpwood Conservation Association,
will again have a staff of trained
foresters to teach the boys the basic
principles of farm forestry manage
ment, said County Forest Warden
White. Timber marking and estimat
ing, tree identification, pacing, and
iog bucking are some of the things
boys will learn. And on the last day
of the camp, contests will be held and
valuable prizes will be awarded the
winners. County Warden White added
that the boys will have plenty of
chance for swimming, volleyball,
softball, and horseshoe pitching.
