A Drunken driving accounted for ,786 Van Riper, medical director of the National . (Foundation tor Infantile Paralysis. . , "Contrary to popular belief, polio is not just a summertime disease,'' he explained; "We are having more polio now than was reported in June or July, even though the numbers are on the decline from August and early September. "This has been a strange polio year. At the beginning. of the summer it looked as if there might be less than the number of cases reported in re cent years. Now it is quite apparent that 1950 will be the second highest polio year we ever have had, second only to 1949." According to the Public Health! Service Report, there were 606 cases of polio reported in North Carolina as of October . 15, 1950. At the same time last year, there were 206 polio cases reported in North Carolina. -, 'Dr. Van Riper said that early in the summer the National Foundation distributed widely a leaflet entitled "A Message' About Polio," containing recommended precautions for families to take when polio was around. He urged that parents who had put it aside as being "no longer necessary" refer to it again now. Among the precautions listed in the leaflet is that of keeping children with their own friends and away from people they have not been with right along, especially in close daily living. GefaToPrcvpt Sprctfg Of Pc:!d New cases of throughout the infantile paralysis nation are running of the violations which ended in revo cation or suspension of driver's li censes. Seventy-five of the defend ants were convicted on second offense. Last year, during October, 018 were convicted of driving drunk'. Fifty nine of those were convicted on sec ond offense. Sixty-six persons were convicted of driving after their licenses were re voked and four of driving after li censes were suspended. Aiding and abetting in drunken driving convicted 'two persons. Three persons were convicted of hit and run, Involving personal injury and one of hit and. run involving property damage. Thirty-three persons were found guilty of two offenses of reckless driving. Other convictions were as. follows: Reckless driving, involving . personal injury and property damage, 45; speeding over 75 miles-per hour, 65; two offenses of speeding -over .55 miles per hour, 38; Involuntary man slaughter, one; , manslaughter, four; transporting liquor, 40 ; i aiding and abetting in transporting . liquor,' six; unsatisfied judgment, 25;' habitual vi olator,' 15 and failure to maintain' financial responsibility, 186. In addition, 8,894 persons were found guilty of moving violations , which do not require revocations or suspensions on first offense. Of the number, 7,910 were North Carolinians and 984 were out-of-state drivers. Speeding headed the list with 2,940 cases, as compared with 2,316 during the same month of last year. Fail ure .to. have driver's license was sec ond with 1,795. Reckless driving was listed in 796 cases, and running through a red light in 87. Faulty equipment was listed in 589 cases. One hundred and seventy-four per sons were found guilty of improper passing as on a hill or curve, 508 had improper lights, S86 failed to stop for a stop sign, and 132 for passing a school bus while it was loading or unloading. This precaution is based on the fact that many people have polio infection without showing signs of sickness, and can pass it on. Dr. Van Riper pointed out that school attendance does not conflict with this advice, since children in school are not in close daily living situations and are with people they have been with right along. ' But he advised against un necessary trips, visits and exposures to new groups outside school hours. "Keeping- from . getting .;' chilled should be easier now than during the summer, ne added, "since in most places the swimming, season has ended. If one is caught in the rain, however, wet cloflies- should be re moved at the earliest possible mo ment. Good rules to follow now as well as in the summer include keep ing clean--particularly through wash ing hands carefully before eating and always after using the toilet keep ing from getting over-tired by work, hard play or travel and watching for early signs of sickness so that a doc tor can be consulted promptly." Polio is on the decline, Dr. Vant Riper repeated, thus there is no cause for alarm. But the unusual exten sion of the high incidence period this year makes it worth while to continue reasonable precautions, he said. The Teacher "Now, "if there's anything you want," said the landlady, "just let me know, and I'll show you how to do without."
