WHEN POLIO STRIKES
HELPFUL HINTS

June through September is the
season when infantile paralysis gen.
orally is on the upswing in the Uni
ted States. The National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis has compiled
the following suggestions which will
be helpful to residents of areas where
poliomyelitis is on the march.
1. During an outbreak of infantile
paralysis be alert to any early signs
of illness or changes in normal state
of health, especially in children. Do
not assume that stomach upset
with vomiting, constipation, diarrhea,
severe headache or signs of cold
and fever are of no Importance.
These are among the first symptoms
of infantile paralysis. All children
and adults sick with unexplained few
er should be put to bed and isolated
pending medical diagnosis.
2. Don't delay calling physician.
Expert medical care given early may
prevent many of the Gripping de-
formities. Proper care from the onset
may mean the difference between a
life of Gripping and normal rec9v-
cry.
3. Today there is no known pre-
vention or protection against infan-
tile paralysis. All that can be done
is to provide the best care possible.
Your doctor, your health officer and
your local Chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
can and will do everything in their
power to see to it that your communi-
ty is ready to meet an epidemic.
4. Observe these simple precau-
tons:
(a) Avoid overtiring and extreme
fatigue from strenuous exercise.
(b) Avoid sudden chilling such as
would come from plunge into ex-
tremely cold water on very hot day.
(c) Pay careful attention to per-
sonal cleanliness, such as thorough
hand washing before eating. Hygien-
ic habits should always be observed.
(d) If possible avoid tonsil and
adenoid operations during epidemics.
Careful study has shown that such
operations, when done during an cpl
demic, tend to increase the danger of
contracting infantile paralysis in it's
most serious form.
(e) Use the purest milk and water
you can. Keep flies away from food.
While the exact means of spread of
disease is not known, contaminated
water and milk are always dangerous
and flies have repeatedly been shown
to carry the infantile analysis virus.
(f) Do not swim in polluted water
(g) Maintain community SANTA
ton at a high level at all times.
(h) Avoid all unnecessary contact
with persons with any illness sus-
picious of infantile paralysis.

Organ Pine Cactus

Ventana cave, the discovery of
which revealed that man had lived
in Arizona 1000 years ago, has a
companion wonder of sightseeing
interest in Organ Pipe National
monument. The monument, known
as Uncle Sans miracle garden, to
preserve the rare pipe organ cactus,
is the dividing line between the SIG
square miles of arboreal growth
and the Papago Indian reservation,
which contains the cave. The organ
pipe cactus resembles the pipes of
giant pipe organ, with the lone
whisker cactus acting as giant
sentry of the desert. In a gorgeous
spectrum of color, the blossoming
of organ pipe cactus is one of ma
ture's most enhancing scenes en-
livened in celebration by night bloom
ing cereus.

COUNTY POST WAR FUNDS
Total, Increasing Yearly, Does Not
Include State Construction Reserves

Total, Increasing Yearly, Does Not
Include State Construction Reserves
Postwar reserve funds totaling
$2,664,750 have been established by
counties and municipalities of the
State in accordance, with the provis-
sions of Chapter CSC of the Acts of
1943, according to report prepared
for the Postwar Commission, Gov
ernor O'Conor has made known.
These reserve funds which are in
tended for postwar construction, de-
ferred maintenance and the replace
ment of obsolete equipment, he point
ed out, cover five counties and seven
teen cities. At the rate with which
counties and municipalities are es-
tablishing such funds, he said, it is
estimated that the total may reach
100000 before the termination of
hostilities. This total, the Governor
emphasized, is in addition to the ST.
100000 Postwar Reserve Fund es-
tablished by the State Administra-
ton, to which will be added any bal
ances from the $2,O0O,OO0 of emer-
gency funds also set up at the 1913
session. Nor does it include any Bal
timore City funds.
The Governor called attention to
State Planning Commission recently,
which showed the high water mark
in public construction during the Is
years preceding the present war was
in 1880 when the counties and NUM-
cipalities exclusive of Baltimore
City, spent $1O,097,774 for public
works construction. 1t is, therefore,
safe to conclude, the Governor went
on, that our local governmental units
will be in most favorable position
to finance their postwar public
works program.
Further, he pointed out, if the
Federal Government in it's postwar
program makes grants available for
public works construction on a basis
similar to that of the Public Works
Administration during the 1905,
funds on hand would be adequate to
cover normal construction needs with
out mourning any new capital debt
or additional taxes.
According to the compilation to be
presented to the Postwar Commits
sion the reserves actually in hand
by counties and municipalities by
March l of this year were as follows:
Allegany County, $S00,000; Anne
Arundel County, $295,O0O; Balti-
more County, 100000; Caroline
County, fredericksburg, $4,000; Car
roll County, $4,000; Cecil County
$4,000; Dorchester County, Hur-
lock, $4,000; Frederick County !,
Brunswick, 100000; Middletown,
$1,000; Garrett County, Kitzmillers-
vile, $3.50; Oakland, S35,00O; Har-
ford County, Aberdeen, $4,000;
Havre de Grace, 100000; Kent
County, Chestertown, $4,000; Ga
lena, $1,000; Wilmington, $4,000;
Prince Georges County, Laurel, S.
600; Queen Anne's County, Sudlers-
Vile, $1,000; Talbot County, Easton,
1000; Washington County, Hag-
erstown, $1,000,000; Hancock, ST.
500; Worcester County, Snow Hill,
$4,000.
Many of these funds will be in
creased by December 81, 1914 Car
roll County, for instance, will have
100000 set aside by that time
Havre de Grace, Chestertown and
Hancock will each have an additional
5000. Easton will increase it's fund
from $4,000 to $4,000 and many
other funds will show increases of
lesser amounts.

One development which is helping us
with our war business is carrier cur

wires. Today hundred kilograms may
flash over telegraph wires simultaneous
ly with never mix-up.
Curiously enough, the telegraph has
passed through complete cycle since
Morse's day. The inventors first instru-
ments were of a semi-automatic type
but gave way to the hand-operated key
until more recent times. Today auto
matte equipment has virtually replaced
the old-time telegrapher. Every year
the Morse telegraph key is used less

Most messages in telegraph offices are
written on machines known as tele-

typewriters. The printed kilograms you
