pending polio epidemic in
Florida, according to the
| State Board of Health.
| DIR. e. F. Hoffman, Bureau
| of Epidemiology director,
said that although a so per-
cent increase in polio has
been reported : nationally,
Florida so far, has been fort
innate in holding her own
against the disease. -
1, 1T is true that up to July IA,
|I194S, WEI had 30 cases of infantile
paralysis reported as compared
with f26 for the same time last
!. year. But most of these occurred
back in early spring. long before
the usual polio season. DR..
Hoffman said.
One Case Reported In July
For the week ending July IA,
1945, we had just one case re-
ported, while during the CORE
spending week of 1914 seven new
cases were on tap.
Usually, June through Sep

posed season has not run true to
form in Florida this year. Cases
reorted by the month so Tar: jan
uary, three; February, four;
March, none; April, seven; May,
nine; June, five. and for the first
part of July, one.
"Ten of the is cases reported
during April and May were in the
vicinity of West Palm Beach. Be
cause these cases were recognized
and treated early, none of the in
! dividuals developed paralysis
Because very little is known
about polio We are unable to
warn against definite dangers,
such as milk and water, for in7
stance, where typhoid fever, is
concerned. Therefore, in an eff
! fort to lock the stable before
the horse is stolen, we list from
time to time the usual precautions
which we trust will enable every
community to guard more thor
oushly against polio outbreaks.

Except for the hospital and
medical care program that was
inaugurated, this session was not
a historic one, although it was
very eventful. The question of
when will the war end?", made
it necessary to deliberate on all
permanent measures, subject to
the answer to this vital question.
The accomplishments of the 1915
session show a combination of
good sense, conservatism and pro-
gressiveness, with minimum of
selfishness on the part of indivi-
dual groups or classes.

Beginning the first week in

because the Commodity Credit

weigh this wheat out to feeders.
The price of wheat for April will
be $1.45 per bushel.
"Since the supply of feed wheat
in storage is very low all over the

tain any more wheat for sale in

when our present supply is sold
we have been instructed to sell
