Polio Group
Is Disbanded
The Valley chapter of the In
fantile Paralysis Foundation,
which has been inactive this
year, met last Tuesday evening
to vote for disbanding of the
local group.
Principal subject of discussion
at the Tuesday meeting, was dis
position of the fund of slightly
more than $450 remaining in the
local treasury.
It was the group’s decision to
equip an isolation room in the
Valley’s permanent hospital, con
struction of which is soon to get
under way here. Polio patients
always will have first priority
. for use of the room, it was stipu
lated. However when no polio
patients arc hospitalized, the
room is to be used as an isola
tion room for hospitalization of
anyone with an infectious
disease.
