Parsons under 18 years of age - should not use public swim ming pools. 2. All large gatherings of children should be avoided, especially at picnics, on camping trips, or where children from outside the immediate locality are present. S. All children returning from in . . fected areas should be kept at home and not allowed contact , with visitors for 14 days after returning home. 4. Since the virus causing; infan tile paralysis is known to be' eliminated from the body by way of the intestinal tract,1 great care should be exercised, in disposing of human excreta,' and In protecting food and wa-j ter supplies from possible con tamination. 5. Indiscriminate visiting of sick: children should be avoided, re-1 gardless of the suspected trou ble. These recommendations are made in an effort to help pre vent the spread of Infantile paralysis, and as such should not cause undue alarm or pan ic. Since there has been only one known case of Infantile paralysis In Dnplln County to date, the local board of health does not deem It necessary or wise to Invoke more rigid or compulsory restrictions on ju venile activity.
