GREGG URGES CANCELING VISITS IN POLIO CRISIS Dr. A. D. Gregg, county health officer, today advised all persons who planning to visit any section of the State to cancel their trips unless they are planning to go to the coast, as increasing re ports of new cases of Infantile paralysis have come to the health office. "As yet there have been no cas es reported in ? Vance County," Dr. Gregg stated, "but the safe thing tQ do is to stay at home, away from places of public resort or public entertainment. At the present time there is no danger to be feared from local gatherings of -children, but my personal ad vice to parents is to keep their children at home for a few weeks until the progress of the epidem ic is checked." The people of this county are advised to ask no relatives or friends to visit them from coun ties north or west of Quilford and Randolph counties, or from any counties where cases have been reported, In an efTort to keep the epidemic from reaching Vance county. "The State Board of Health" has requested camps in the moun tains to cancel all applications from infected counties", Dr. Gregg stated, "but we have no guarantee that the request will be strictly observed. And so there remains an element of risk in sending children to these camps. Then, too, those going to the camps must almost necessarily pass through infected counties to reach their destination, and there I; is danger that the germs jnay still be in the air." The last two counties reporting new cases of paralysis to the . State Board of Health were Wil son and Lee, Dr. Gregg stated, and expressed the hope that this county might remain free from infection. "It is to the advantage of citi zens that they be careful In tak ing their children to public plac- < es, and I believe with proper co operation of the people of the county, we may keep Vance coun * ty safe from the infantile paraly sis epidemic," Dr. Gregg ddclar , ed. ?
