PAGE TEN Precautions Should ContinueToPrevent Spreading Os Polio Pointed Oat That Infan tile Paralysis Not Only Summertime Disease New cases of infantile paralysis throughout the nation are running! higher today than they did at the same time during last year’s record epidemic, and precautions, therefore, should he followed by parents and children for at least another month, it is recommended by Dr. Hart E.j Van Riper, medical director of the. National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. “Contrary to popular belief, polio is not just a summertime disease,” he explained. “We are having more polio now than was reported in June or July, even though the numbers are on the decline from August and early September. “This has been a strange polio year. At the beginning of the summer it looked as if there might be less than the number of cases reported in re cent years. Now it is quite apparent that 1950 will be the second highest polio year we ever have had, second only to 1949.” According to the Public (Health Service Report, there were 606 cases of polio reported in North Carolina as of October 15, 1950. At the same time last year, there were 206 polio cases reported in North Carolina. Dr. Van Riper said that early in the summer the National Foundation distributed widely a leaflet entitled j “A Message About Polio,” containing! recommended precautions for families to take when polio was aroynd. He urged that parents who had put it aside as being “no longer necessary” refer to it again now. Among the precautions listed in the leaflet is that of keeping children with their own friends and away from people they have not been with right along, especially in close daily living. This precaution is based on the fact that many people have polio infection If* oleman juro/mncl OIL HEATER I - ‘ V I Makes It Easy To Have < WARM FLOORS BHBlßSilili \\« Twin itends Ijjra|jj 3! no ashes toMsUan oat; cuts I|jß|l| I || J 3 ! ond, it’s so efficient even the |®|f|}| j »|||!| II J J floors are warm!

Dr. Van Riper pointed out that school attendance ! does not conflict with this advice, > since children in school are not in ’ close daily living situations and are < with people they have been with right i along. But he advised against un necessary trips, visits and exposures j to new groups outside school hours. “Keeping from, getting chilled > should be easier now than during the summer,” he added, "since in most places the swimming season has ] ended. If one is caught in the rain, i however, wet clothes should be re- I i moved at the earliest possible mo ; ment. Good rules to follow now as « j well as in the summer include keep | ing clean —particularly through wash- < , ing hands carefully before eating and , | always after using the toilet—keep- j , ing from getting over-tired by work, , I hard play or travel and watching for j i early signs of sickness so that a doc- j i tor can be consulted promptly.” Polio is on the decline, Dr. Van , Riper repeated, thus there is no cause j , for alarm. But the unusual exten- ( ' sion of the high incidence period this , , year makes it worth while to continue j , reasonable precautions, he said. | George W. Shaw Dies After Long Illness ] George W.
