By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Haven’t you often wondered
how a rumor gets started? Well,
I happened to be in on the be
ginning of one this week.
Everyone who has ever been
to my house knowrs that it has
a way of piling up cats and kit
tens as fast as the snow piles up
around my front steps in the
winter time. It so happens, also,
that one of my favorite nick
names is “Grammy.”
Well, one night recently, my
prettiest cat presented me with
a beautiful new family. I had
just told it to a friend who called
across the room to another,
"Grammy is having kittens!”
Now, there was just one other
person who heard that exclama
tion. But he must have associ
ated it with the slang expression
meaning that "having kittens” is
to be in a state of having a tan
trum, or being very angry, or
raving about something unplea
san. Anyway, I was asked the
next day, “What are you mad
about now?” So, you see, I know
where one rumor started.
. There is another rumor that
has spread like wildfire among
the school children this week.
Some child claims to have “read
it in the paper,” that there is a
case of polio in the Seward hos
pital. The story even reports
that the case is a man who came
into town on a boat, and fell
sick with polio.
I checked with Dr. Sellers,
city health officer this morning.
He said that if there were a case
of polio in Seward, that he cer
tainly would have heard about
it. He has not. If it were true,
he would tell me so after check
ing.
So, kids, and parents, THERE
IS NO POLIO in Seward. Stop
your worrying, and kill the ru
mor. It is no more true than the
rumor about me going about
“mad” at something all the time,
when truly, I am the most good
natured, easy-going creature im
aginable.
No mad—no polio. Only kit
tens!
