County S 4ih Polio
Case is Reported

Union County's fourth case of
infantile paralysis this year, and
the second in Marysville, was re-
ported this week when the illness
of Jon Ricky Hurd, 3-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Max Hurd,
E. Fourth ST., was diagnosed as
poliomyelitis.
Definite word of his illness was
received by the Union County
Health office Tuesday. The little
boy was taken to Children's Hos
pital, Columbus, last weekend
and his case diagnosed Tuesday.
1t is added that his case is a mild
one.
Previously reported cases of in
fantile paralysis in Union County
are:
Mrs. Alva Daniels, 20, of Dover
Township, who died of the dread
illness about five weeks ago;
Marilyn M t Us, 7-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. David
Mathys, York Township, who was
taken to Children's Hospital last
week.
Bobby Clevenger, % month old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. d. c. eleven
ger, Milford Ave-, who is now re-
covering at his home from what
specialists termed light case of
polio. The case was diagnosed
Monday. Weakened leg muscles
in his right leg is the only af-
fected area. Specialists state the
little boy will be perfectly normal
in six weeks by exercising the leg
regularly.
Last year there were six cases
of infantile paralysis in Union
County during the entire season.
To this date year ago, there had
been no cases reported. Five of
last years cases were discovered
, in August, the sixth in October.
Mrs. Aida Davis, foundation

The George P. Little Co., of
Columbus, was awarded a con-
tract for Suond treating the rec

building. A covering of acoustic
celotex will be applied to the

Ever since the building has
been built, the recreation room
has been poor accoustically, and
it was thought that proper cell

uses. 1t will also cut down on
the noise in the kitchen and cafe

more pleasant.

first step to rescue Britain from

In nation wide broadcast as head
of the Conservative Party, Mr.

a new Parliament" he said.
why can we not earn our living
pay our way and stand on our
feet?' Mr.. Churchill asked.
ut is because our whole life is
being handled the wrong way
around. The&pcialist planners have
miscalculated and mismanaged ev-

have tried to substitute government
control and direction for individual
enterprise and skill. BY their re-
strictions they make scarcity; and
