Polio Outbreak
Waning Here,,
|RuhIandFee|s
Official Reports Only
Five New Cuses
Appeared Last Week

Health Officer George C. Rutland
today held out hope that the current
outbreak of infantile paralysis has
passed its peak
DR.. Rutland said in the week end
ing Saturday there were only fiva
cases of polio reported in the Dis
trict compared with nine the week
before, which may represent the
peak of this summers outbreak
He explained that last year the
epidemic in the District began with
the report of eight cases during
the third week of July and during
the following eight weeks there were
116 cases reported. This year, how
ever, he said, one case was reported
as early as the first week in June
and during the following eight weeks
of the present outbreak only 25
cases have been reported.
Therefore, for comparable epi-
demic periods of eight weeks, there
we're more than four times the num-
ber OF cases reported last year." DR..
Rutland said
While the departments statement
used the term comparable epidemic
periods, DR.. Rutland concluded his
announcement with the statement
"the department does not feel there
is a re-occurrence of the epidemic
last year
DR.. Rutland said if cases did
occur in a post epidemic year, their
early appearance was to be expected.
He said not only are there fewer
cases for the eight-week period used
in comparing the outbreak with last
year, but there are also fewer para
lytic cases this time Last year dur
ing the eight-week period eight
cases out of every 10 were paralytic
and one person out of five died,
while this year five out of every
10 cases are parlytic and only one
out of every 25th person has died.
This does not necessarily mean
that the disease is milder, but
rather that more nonparalytic cases
have been diagnosed" DR.. Rutland
stated. Furthermore, last year no
suspect polio cases were reported
for the eight-week period, while
this year 81 cases have been ad-
mitted to the hospitals and found
not to be polio. Taking all facts
into consideration, the department
does not feel there is a re-occur-
renee of the epidemic last year"

BETH BLAINE

A small, alert, brown-eyed lady of
great distinction, who knows the
Red Cross Volunteer Special Serv-
ices from a good many angles is
Mrs. Forrest B. Royal. Just now
she is serving as vice chairman for
recruiting and training in the Ar
lington County chapter, and do
ing fine job of it.
The wife of a Navy rear admiral
Mrs. Royal began her Red Cross
volunteer work in Brazil with the
British branch of the Red Cross
sometime before the United States
was in the war. In Brazil the Red
Cross not only recruited the volun-
teers, but the volunteers in turn
raised the money for materials used
and the finished garments were then
packed and shipped to England.
1t was about four years ago that
the Royals returned to their home
in Arlington and soon after that
Mrs. Royal went to work with the
Red Cross chapter there. She has
taken the standard staff assistants
course and worked with home
service and at the information desk
She was chairman of the Chill
drens Theater for the Junior
League before she went to Brazil
and since returning has served as
a sort of liaison officer between the
Washington Junior League and the
Arlington Red Cross. AS a Navy
wife she has been much interested
in the work of the Army and Navy
Auxiliary of Red Cross also.
While her husband is on active
duty in the Pacific, Mrs. Royal
has with her her elder daughter,
who is taking the nurses aide course
right now. The younger daughter
is Jango.
The biggest thrill the family had
at Christmas time was the news
that Admiral Royal and his son-in-
law had Christmas dinner together
somewhere in the Pacific.
Mrs. Royal finds the Arlington
Chapter of Red Cross Splendidly
organized. There are activities
enough to interest any one, she
saws. and the fact that their
training has been more than far
reaching are the letters which pour
In from every State in the Union
from women who have taken Red
Cross courses in Arlington, and
later been transferred along with
service husbands.
