Schlicker, 83, native of Wisconsin, was found dead in his bed in his work shop on Meadow Street Sunday morning, by Allen Melton, negro, who lived next door. Mr. Schlicker lived in his wood working shop next door to Melton, who had not seen him for two or 'three days. Melton fearing that something must have happened to the old man forced his way in the shop Sunday morning and found him dead. The sheriff's department was called. The county physician, who stated that from all indications, Mr. Schlicker had died some time Saturday of a heart attack. Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon at 2 o'clock at Green Hill cemetery, where burial follow ed. Rev. M. R- Williamson, pastor of the Waynesville Presbyterian church, officiated. Mr. Schlicker, a mill mechanic, came here with the Suncrest Lum ber Company about twenty years ago. For the past few years he had operated a wood working shop on Meadow Street. He is survived by one brother, Dr. A. G. Schlicker, of Chicago, who came to the funeral. The Massie Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements. Continued Care Will Likely Prevent Polio Epidemic (Continued from page 1) M. H. Bowles, of Waynesville. The board adopted the following rules and regulations in view of the possibility of an epidemic in the county and the fact that it had been reported that children from areas affected with poliomyelitis were being sent to Haywood coun ty: "Every person under 15 years of age coming into Haywood coun ty from an area having poliomye litis which in the opinion of the Haywood county health officer may be dangerous to the citizens of Haywood county, shall be placed place of abode or at a place ap place of abode or ata place ap proved by the health officer for a period of fourteen days from the date of the last contact in said area. "The proprietor of a hotel, boarding house, tourist home, tourist camp, private home or any other place of abode giving lodg ing to such a person shall become responsible for such person ac cording to the quarantine rules and regulations prescribed by the N. C. State Board of Health and subject to the penalty as provided for in the Consolidated Statues of North Carolina for violation of these rules. "From this 7th day of July, 1944, the management of boys and girls camps shall prohibit the en rollment of a boy or girl in a boys or girls camp from a county having reported five or more cases of poliomyelitis." Calls have been constantly com ing into the office of Dr. Sisk not only from points throughout the county but from out-of-the state from prospective visitors. He has reassured them all of the condi tions, but has cited the rules re garding the bringing of children into this area from sections suf fering with an epidemic of polio mylitis. Dr. Sisk is urging the continued precaution, as other counties of the state have had epidemics, which, he stated, however, he felt were getting under control. He referred to the cooperation exer cised by the citizens of Canton im mediately following the diagnosis of the case there, stating that in passing through the town he did not see any children on the streets. 1 RALEIGH, July 10 Health of ficers of eight southern states and officials of the U. S. Public Health service and the National Founda tion for Infantile Paralysis closed a one-day meeting on infantile par alysis here this afternoon with "recommendations which they offer ed as the best protection against the disease "in the light of what is known today." The recommendations, drafted by the group and presented for final approval by Dr. Don W. Gudakunst of New York, medical director of the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis, stated: "In the light of what is known today a few essential recommenda tions should be stressed. "Any program limiting the num ber of contacts of people of sus ceptible age groups in areas where there are outbreaks of infantile paralysis should be encoruaged by every possible means. In rural areas where infantile paralysis is present or in communities adjacent thereto the opening of schools would definitely increase the amount of contact between chil dren, therefore, should be delayed. However, there is no point in clos ing schools and allowing children to congregate in groups elsewhere: at picnics, on the streets, churches, swimming pools, theatres, day nur series, homes and playgrounds. "The improper disposal of human : excreta may be an important fac Twenty-Nine Men Left Yesterday For Camp Croft Twenty-nine men left here Wed nesday morning under the selec tive service system for induction at Camp Croft. - Under the new ruling the men will be placed in the branch of service in which the authorities feel that they are needed.

Where ap proved sewage systems do not ex ist, excreta should be disposed of only in fly proof privies or in a manner approved by local or state health authorities. "Increased attention should be called to the hygiene in the home. Food should be prepared and han dled in a manner to prevent con tamination by flies, other insects, and from all other sources of hu man excreta. Homes should be screened against flies, since in cer tain instances flies have been known to carry the virus of infan tile paralysis. "During outbreaks of infantile paralysis children should be kept from indulging in exercise that will produce exhaustion or an un due amount of fatigue, since this has been shown in many instances to be a contribution factor in the development of a more serious form of the disease. 4'Rfmoval of tonsils and adenoids during an epidemic or during the infantile paralysis season is con tradicted and should be discour aged in all but exceptional cases. Early Medical C8re "Medical care early in the course of the disease is important in as suring a maximum degree of re covery. Adequate treatment, in cluding medical care, nursing, and physical therapy, can, best be given in a properly equipped hospital. ToH assure the best medical care, it is necessary to have correct diagnosis established as early as possible. All who show signs of illness which is suspected of being infantile paraly sis should be kept isolated and kept at absolute rest until they can be seen by a physician and a correct diagnosis made. The family should in every way co-operate with the health authorities in carrying out the rules and regulations of the state and local health departments in respect to isolation and quaran tine. "Since as yet there is no vaccine or serum that will prevent infantile paralysis, full co-operation in car rying out these recommendations offers the best protection for every one." Good Handling Reduces Dreaded Chick Disease Better management of growing chicks and pullets in the first weeks of their lives can help to prevent erious losses from the "avian leu kosis complex" which took heavy toll from pullet flocks of 1943. Range paralysis, big liver, and several other maladies of poultry are caused by this 'leukosis com plex," says Prof. C. W. Barber of the New York State College of Vet erinary Medicine. Birds seldom recover entirely from the disease, and if they do manage to live, never become good producers of eggs or meat. They are also carriers of the disease. For reducing the damage caused by leukosis, Professor Barber sug gests the following steps in man agement: Keep adult birds and young birds on separate farms if possible, at least in buildings separated as much as possible. Direct travel from laying pens to chick houses should be stopped. Never crowd the chicks, he ad vises, and keep the houses well ven tilated. The poultryman should try to keep the brooder house at the right temperature, should keep it clean, and if possible allow the birds plenty of sunshine. Birds should be kept on good clean range as much of the rearing season as possible. Life on Atoll Lived To Thunder of Waves Life on a Pacific atoll likeihe Mar shalls or Gilberts is lived under the glare of the sun and the pallid light of moon and stars. Temperatures run high. Vegetation is likely to be sparse. Drinking water is a prob lem. Where coconuts grow thirst can be quenched with their milk. Natives look to trees for much of their food coconuts, pandanus fruit, breadfruit, bananas, and the like, Taro and arrowroot have been grown where soil and space allow. Fish are a staple. Atoll life is isolated, is lived to the thunder of the rollers pounding the sea face and the thumping of coral fragments shaken together in the backwash. Houses, if any, are usually built on the lagoon side of the atoll, have thatched roofs, are pitched on poles. Range of animal life is narrow; only native mam mals are two species of bats. Dogs, cats, pigs, rats have been brought in, have Increased. Islanders could once thank their lucky stars that they were free of man-borne diseases. Mid-Paciflc ac tivity of the Japanese after the first World war scourged atoll dwellers with the ills of civilization, caused native depopulation. Bamboo Pulp Indian paper mills are carrying out successful experiments In the manufacture of Kraft papers from bamboo. Fine quality writing and printing papers have always been made from bamboo, but the ever increasing demand for strong wrap ping and bag materials has induced the Indian paper Industry to test the adaptability of bamboo in the manufacture of Kraft. The present available facilities in India for the manufacture of Kraft pulp are inade quate but the experiments conclu sively prove that by improving man ufacturing methods It will be possi ble to produce bamboo Kraft pulps that will compare with the best Swedish and American products. Face Camouflage Paint for face and hand camou flage for soldiers has been standard ized in nine colors: light green, dark green, sand, field drab, earth brown, earth yellow, loam, earth red, and olive drab. These tints of paint art put up in tubes and Issued to sol diers in selected areas, with small booklets containing Instructions for the use of the paint The funda mental purpose is to overcome the conspicuous reflection of white skin and to obscure the face by the appli cation of Irregular blotches of paint. The colors used are determined by the prevailing colors of the environ ment in which the soldier is oper ating. Luminous Lighting While authorities on paint are not yet ready to confirm the predictions of those enthusiasts who believe that luminescent paint will supplant light from lamps sometime in the post war period, many new uses for luminous coatings already have been developed and are expected to have extensive application in Improving illumination in homes, factories, stores, theatres and other structures. As an example of the development of luminous materials, "Wltcomb ings" reports a fluorescent material which shows a warm yellow color when exposed to ultra-violet rays, Instead of the usual glaring white or bluish-white color. Brown Bet "The importance of timely spray ing to prevent brown rot in apricots, and other stone fruits, cannot be overemphasized," affirms H. M. But terflelo specialist in agricultural extension, University of California. "The control of brown rot in apri cots is mainly a matter of complete removal of 'mummies' and blighted twigs of the preceding year, and thorough spraying at Just the right time in the spring when the blos soms are In the red-bud stage," But terfleld said. "Too early or too tate sprayings are equally useless." Buy War Bonds and Stamps, In South Pacific PFC. MONT H.
