WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF POLIO
According to a bulletin issued by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc., the polio sea
son is June through September and since we now have
known cases in the community it is advisable that some
of the suggestions from the Foundation be reviewed.
One of the first things advised is that should there
be any cases in your neighborhood, do not become hy-.
sterical. “While infantile paralysis is communicable or
catching during any outbreak, there are many who
have such a slight infection that there are few or no
symptoms. This large number of unrecognized infec
tions is one of the reasons there is no practical' way of
preventing the spread of the disease. But it is also re
assuring to know that, of the many persons who become
infected, few develop serious illness and that, with
good care, the majority who are stricken will make a
satisfactory recovery. Remember that although this is
a frightful disease, needless fear and panic only cause
more trouble.
Attempts to stop the spread of the virus by closing
places where people congregate have been uniformly
unsuccessful. The resulting disturbance to community
life is a disadvantage. Today there is no way by which
the spread of infantile paralysis can be completely
stopped.
There is no known cure for infantile paralysis.
Good medical care will prevent or correct some de
formities. But in about every fourth or fifth case there
will be permanent paralysis that cannot be overcome.
Do not believe those who for one reason or another
promise to cure these cases. Be guided by sound medi
cal advice if polio does strike in your family.
Our Public Health officers have taken all neces
sary measures and are capable and conscientious in
their duties. Let us abide by their decisions for our wel
fare.

Harriman May Be
Summoned For
MacArthur Inquiry
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, (JP) — A move
to summon W. Averell Harriman
from Europe for testimony on Far
Eastern policy threatened to pro
long the Senate investigation of
Gen. MacArthur’s ouster.
Senator McMahon (D-Conn) told
a reporter he plans to bring be
fore the committees Monday the
question of calling Harriman.
Harriman, presidential foreign
affairs adviser, is in Europe check
ing the progress of attempts to
weld the North Atlantic Pact
countries into an effective defense
until against possible Communist
attack there.
McMahon said he thinks the
group ought to hear from Harfri
man in rebuttal to testimony by
Patrick J. Hurley, Republican for
mer ambassador to China.
Hurley bitterly denounced the
Yalta agreement as an “immoral
and cowardly” pact which he said
gave Russia unwarranted terri
torial concessions in Manchuria at
the expense of Nationalist China.
The committee had planned to
wind up hearings with testimony
Monday from Maj. Gen. Emmett
(Rosie) O'Donnell, former com
mander of the Far Eastern Air
Force, who once urged that the
“ultimate weapon” — the atomic
bomb—be used in Korea.
Fog Hinders Search
For Missing Flyer
KODIAK, (JP) — Burl Clymer,
39, pilot of a four-place Aeronca
plane, has been unreported for
four days on a flight from Kodiak
to the Chignik cannery on the
Alaska Peninsula, with 50 loaves
of bread.
He was flying the bread to the
cannery. The plane radio was re
ported out of commission.
The Alaska Communication
System maintained a 24 - hour
watch on Kodiak Island cannery
frequencies for any word, and
Coast Guard planes awaited lift
ing of a week of fog to join the
search.
BALTIMORE, (JP) — The bride
was the daughter of John McIn
tyre, the bridegroom was John
McIntyre, the bridegroom’s fa
ther was John McIntyre and John
McIntyre was an usher.
The wedding Saturday climaxed
a mixup of five years standing
over names.
In 1946, letters from John Mc
Mclntyre, Pawtuckett, R.I., kept
going to his namesake, a Balti
more resident stationed at Fort
| Bragg, N. C. So the Baltimore
John soon discovered that these
Rhode Island letters signed “dad”
■ were meant for the Rhode Island
McIntyre’s son of the same name,
; also stationed at Fort Bragg.
The Pawtucket McIntyre even
tually became interested in the
j Baltimore McIntyre’s sister — and
1 the wedding resulted.
