Gives Advice On
Prevention of Polio
Chapel Hill ? Precautionary
measures against the possible
prevention of the spread of polio
have been printed and issued In
a bulletin by Dr. O. David Gar
Hvin, District Health officer here,
Has a result of Orange county's
(only case of polio in the current
^outbreak.
Dr. Garvin, in cooperation
with the University of North
Carolina officials, has had the
[entire Victory Village, occupied
II by married students and their
Hfamilies, sprayed with DDT and
^bulletins issued on precautions
to be taken.
These actions were the result
of the only case to develop here.
Dr. Garvin, who took a re
fresher ? course in the diagnosis
and treatment of polio last spring
at the Knickerbocker Hospital
in New York, drew up the fol
lowing list of. precautions:
1. Avoid unnecessary contacts
with groups and crowds, especi
ally indoors.
2. There is no advantage in
going away, chance of exposure
is greater if you travel.
3. Continue your normal acti
vities. ?
14. Treat every fever not
readily explained as poliomy
litis and go to bed.
5. Don't take medicine for
protection. Do not use gargles or
nose drops.
6. Avoid fatigue.
7. Avoid use of contaminated
water.
8." Avoid insult to mouth, nose
and throat.
9. Kill flies.
10. Don't get panicky.
Dr. Garvin pointed out that
Dr. Charles Armstrong of the U.
S. Public Health Service has de
monstrated that "approximately
71 percent of the adult popula
tion have had poliomylitis ex
perience without having known
about it. This means that 71 per
cent of adults have developed
some immunity to the disease.
"Dr. Philip Stimpson, special
ist with the National Founda
tion," Dr. Garvin went on,
"states that for every 1000 per
Isons exposed to the disease, 45
will have the disease in such mild
form that it will be disregarded
or passed by as a minor illness.
Only three persons of the 1000
will have enough sympt-jma to
be diagnosed. Of theso three
cases only one will have any
type of residual paralysis.

Commission is sponsoring a

but we couldn't do business without him!
.
When you take your car to an Esso Dealer
Station for gasoline, motor oil, or a complete
lubrication job - you're not really "doing
business" directly with Eno Standard Oil
Company, even though we make the fine
products you get.
Instead, these *25,000 Esso Dealers from
Maine to Louisiana are local, independent
business men. You deal with the owners them
selves ? men who have invested their money
and their initiative in building their own fu
tures on serving you.
From many competing brands of gasoline
i . ,
ESSO STANDARD OIL COMPANY
and oil, these local business men have chosen
Emo products. Year after year, they have seen
first-hand evidence of the satisfaction to the
buyer that Esso quality stands for.
As of today, these able business men have,
on the average, handled Esso prpducts for
12 years each.
Esso
Many have bought from us for 35 to 40 years.
Obviously, we couldn't do business without
these men. And naturally we're proud of them
? just as proud of them as we are of die
28,000 workers who are on our company
payroll.
Both groups? our own employees and these
"partners" in their independent businesses ?
express this company's basic belief that indi
vidual enterprise, given its fair chance to earn
fair rewards ? is the best way and the Ameri
can way to make progress with and for all
the people of this country. ?
