ONE INFANTILE PAR ALYSB CASE . BEING TREATED IN MADISON Parent Warned to Keep Child ren at Home 1 Madison's first case of infantile paralysis this summer was reported Monday to Dr. W. A. Sams, County physician. The patient ia a four-year-old boy, James Thorpe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Thorpe, Marshall Route 2. The' child became ill last Friday, and is now quarantined under the surveillance of Dr. H. B. Ditmore. However, it is not necessarily true that the disease will spread farther, nor that this, case is related to the so-called epidemic in the eastern part of this state. Prevailing' opinion among authorities seems to be that the mountain section is about as safe a place to be as any other part of the country. The North Carolina State Board of Health, in a pamphlet issued last month on infantile paralysis, points out that the disease is only slightly contagious, since as a rule only one person, out of thousand or even two thousand is affected during- an outbreak-, In one case, only 14 out of 2,070 persons known to have been- MARS HOI Hendricks Is Elected President of Civitans fully exposed: to the germ developed! ew to Ratherfordton to the the paralytic form of the disease; Football At Mars HilL College With football practice but two months away, the local fans are be ginning to show a great deal of inter 's est and concern about the 1935 team.

Everybody invited to come ana Dring flowers. General opinion along the street seems to be that the fourth dance of the Virginia Reel Cotillion Club Mon day night was the best of the series so far. To begin with, the weather man must have overheard some very ur gent pleas for a cool night, for he knocked about ten degrees off the prevailing temperatures of the pre ceding few days in time for the danc ers to benefit. .Moreover, Al Green and his excellent Silver-Dollar orches tra' supplied music that was neither too fast for the weather nor too slow for the mood of the evening. Finally, the crowd of about 35 couples was just about right for the size of the floor at the Masonic Hall. Many out-oi-town people were present, in addition to Marshall's own younger set. From Hot Springs came several carloads, among whom were Charlie Runnion. Bud Parris, Miss Ollif sfParris, , Carl Carter and Mr. Fairfax.

Upper New York State got it worst, with 40 dead, 3000 homeless, and more than $25,000,000 property damage. Worst feature is that in many places the storms have polluted water supplies, bringing danger of epidemics in the striken areas. The record-breaking rains are expected to let up today.
