Polio Hifs Two Times In Orange Father of Victim Is UNC Employe; Both 2 Years Old In reporting the appearance of two cases of poli0 in Orange County Dr. O. David Garvin, district health officer, asked cit izens of, this area to maintain a calm and sensible attitude to ward the outbreak and, at the same time take the necessary precautions against the spread of the disease. James Dixon, 2-year-old son of University, employe Clarence Dixon of Chapel Hill, Route 2 and Judith Strowd,.2, daughter of E. N. Strowd of Chapel Hill, are the two cases reported. Both are undergoing treatment at Watts Hospital in Durham and it is reported that neither of the chil dren are crippled and that no complications have appeared in either case. Garvin. said that the outhrpnV "was not unexpected." but adrlpri that in both cases the attack was so mild that had the old type diagnosis been used, the illnesses would probably not have been recognized for what they were "In the past," he stated, "a diag nosis for polio had to await par alysis." During the month of June, 1948 one i. cases were discovered in North Carolina, but for the same month this year only nine have been reported. So far this vear Durham, Chatham, Caswell and Person Counties have had no known cases of polio. The other county bordering on Orange Ala mance has reported a single case. Last year's totals for the entire t state showed that the number of polio occurances declined after July. Dr. Garvin requested that cit izens of the county avoid chills and fatigue, keep clean, and stay away from polluted water. He also' pointed out that the danger of picking up polio was increased by traveling.
