stated that he had checked with hei.lth
officers In South Carolina and Geor
gia, and was convinced that the jpl
demic stage of "polio” had passed.
The health officer pointed out that
restrictions In most of the counties
In South Carolina had beer lifted, ex
cept for children 12 years and under,
and that In many of the counties the
younger children were allowed entire
freedom, due to passing of what doctors
and health officials there considered
the danger period.

Tuesday was to the effect that not
an active case of polio was In that
county, although there had been 15
cases during the earlier part of the
summer.

departments that the disease Is on
the wane, and that no further out
break Is anticipated.

who come from sections regarded as
"epidemic” areas will be required to
remain In quarantine for two weeks

will not be under restrictions.
