BOARD WILL TAKE
ACTION ON POLIO

In consideration of the infantile
paralysis epidemic which has re-
suited in five cases in this county
and 494 in North Carolina since
June /, recommendation to defer
the opening of New Hanover school
until September 10, coinciding with
the request of the State Board OF
Health, will be presented to the
Board of Education by the Consol-
idated Board of Health at a meet
ing this afternoon.
DR.. A. H. Elliot, city county
health officer, said last night that
with the polio conditions as they
are by September 10 further post
ponement of school opening may
be necessary. However, if we
have a normal fall season and a
return of cool weather, the disease
will probably be subsiding by that
time, he added. According to the
health officer, infantile paralysis,
as rule, declines in the cooler
seasons of the year.
At the meeting today, DR.. Elliot
said he would ask the health board
to "give the public some specific
suggestions on the goi1gs and COM
ings Of Individual children under
Is. Since the ban on gatherings of
children under Is was placed Mon
day, We have received many phone
calls from anxious parents wanting
to know what their Individual chill
