V Proper Precautions, Careful Watching Help Prevent Polio Along with the pleasant things of good old summertime comes the (ear of polio. Folio begins with vague symp toms: fever, a generally tired and irritable feeling and headache. There may be vomiting ana diar rhea; then may be constipation. These are the symptoms of lots of minor illnesses. Don't jump to the conclusion your child has polio just because he has a head ache and a fever. It's much more likely to be a throat infection or flue or a stomach upset than polio. However, it's a good idea to have your child seen by a doctor whenever he gets sick. Mild ill nesses and serious ones often start the same way. If you can't get to the doctor right away, there are two simple tests that may reassure you. If your child can bend his head so ASC Employees Meet at Beach ' The North Carolina Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation meeting opened yesterday morning at Atlantic Beach with 2020 mem bers, representing 23 counties, at tending.

If he dous have polio, it's impor tant that he be under the care of a good doctor rifht from the be ginning. Good care can do much to prevent serious after-effects by protecting weakened muscles from strain. The great majority of children who do get polio never have any paralysis at any time Of those who do have some paralysis during the acute stage a goodly number recover completely. Those few who have considerable paralysis improve a good deal during con valescence. If any weakness remains it is very important that the child con tinue to have whatever physical therapy the doctor recommends. Many weakened muscles can be brought back to fair function with long continued treatment. During the polio season, and es pecially if a few cases of the dreaded disease occur in your com munity, you may be asking what you can do to protect your child. Nobody knows exactly how po lio is spread from person to person. We do know, however,* that the virus that causes it is present in the mouth secretions and also in the stool of people who have the disease. It is probable that the dis ease is caught by getting this vi rus in the mouth. But everyone who gets a dose of polio virus doesn't come down with the disease. It has been discovered that when a case of polio occurs in a house hold almost everyone in the house will have the germ, even if not another one becomes sick. These healthy people are just as likely to spread the disease around the community as is^the person with polio? more so in fact, because the sick person is at home in bed.

LOOK KNOCK "CLEANERS" IN THE YELLOW PAGES your Telephone Directory L resist catchiag polio. Maybe it's because they have had small doses of the virus from time to time and have built up an im munity. This may be the reason why children are more susceptible than grownups, to polio - they haveh't had time or opportunity to build up resistance. In any case, in time of a polio epidemic there are probably many healthy people walking around who have the polio virus in their bod ies. To protect your child, take a 4ittle extra care with cleanliness. See to it that hands are well wash ed before meals and, if you can, be fore they go in the mouth. Since anyone is more apt to catch anything when he is tired or chilled, it's a good idea to avoid fatigue. Probably it's also a good idea to Veep children out of crowds during a polio epidemic. Avoid crowded stores, amusement parks, movies. At the same time don't make a hermit of your child. Let him play with his friends and live as normal a life as possible. The time may soon be at hand when we will have a vaccination against polio, but for this summer you will have to protect your child with general measures.
