An Editorial
"Aging Successfully"

PECENTLY we came across a little
~ book with the above title. 1t has
many good things in it for everyone,
young as well as old. The gist of the
volume is that if we are to have Sc
curity and satisfaction in our later
years we must prepare for them.
We all have heard the statement
that beauty at 20 is endowed while
beauty at so is achieved.
Growing old, the writer says,
should be growing in wisdom and
mother should be expected to do the
dish washing and the baby tending
while the younger generation fits
about socially. That's not the idea of
usefulness. Many a grandmother is
tolerated in the home of her son or
daughter so she can do the little odd
jobs. Ones heart aches for such a
person. She must have many heart
aches.
A well adjusted person is willing
to assume the responsibilities appro-
pirate to each age or period of life
as he reaches it. He enjoys each
stage and is neither trying to hold
onto earlier years nor longing for
later ones.
A well adjusted older person ac-
cepts the fact that life is an endless
struggle in which human purposes
are hurled against external resisting
forces, human and natural. He knows
that in the struggle the person who
fights himself least will have the
most strength and best judgment fol
the outside battle.
We are indebted to Jean Brenne
man, whose poems appear frequent
ly on these pages, for this from
Dorothy Dix, 'The only reason tina
old age is unattractive is that tn
great majority of old people max
it an alibi for slouchiness and SLOW
enliness and selfishness and ba
manners"
Mrs. Brenneman sent it with he
poem "a Tribute" dedicated to tw
elderly women, Mrs. Hunt of Mel
raska and Mrs. Viva Clark of MOI
tana, who have aged successful
We should like to include in tn
tribute all women who, too, ha'
grown lovely growing old.
Aging successfully is the fine a
of living each day thoughtfully.

Progress Has Been Made in Preventing Deaths and Gripping by
PoliO>>>the Dread Disease
By H. v. GIBSON, MD, Health Officer, Cty-County
Health Debortnent Greot Falls
Health Debartment, Great Falls

INFANTILE paralysis is of the
= diseases still unconquered by med
ica1 science. Public health author
tiles are still helpless to predict or
prevent the occurrence of the dis
ease. Doctors have made a great
deal of progress in saving the lives
and preventing the Gripping of the
victims, but there is no effective
vaccination or medicine to prevent
persons acquiring it. Usually one
attack of the disease immunizes the
patient, but second attacks do oc-
III
The disease acquired it's nam be-
cause originally it occurred mostly
in children and the only cases rec
ognized were those who were para
1yzed. Since that time it has grad
ually been realized that the disease
is fairly common, that it affects all
ages, that for some still unknown
reason it causes paralysis usually

that most cases do not become para
lyzed. 1t is not a disease of filth and
it does not frequently paralyze the
undernourished rundown person.
1t occurs more among civilized peo-
pie of the better class and with the
best sanitary surroundings.
Affects Healthy Tissues
The cause of the disease is a virus
which affects first the throat and
bowel, and then, in certain cases,
goes further and invades the spinal
cord and causes paralysis. This in
vasion is the mysterious phase of
the disease. Good, healthy nerve
tissue is required - an underfed
person with vitamin B deficiency is
not often affected. A state of body
fatigue or chilling, or both together
as occurs in swimming, often pre-
cedes the attack of paralysis.
There is no simple way of testing
a person who may be a carrier or {
mild nonparalytic case to tel
whether he has polio or not. Al
suspected cases should be studied
, by means of a spinal puncture. Thi
:. procedure is a simple, harmless on
and enables the doctor to tell if tn
spinal cord tissues have become in
famed. If a case is suspected of be
ing infantile paralysis, he should b
watched closely by the family ply
:. stefan for any danger signs.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-08-15

Even the best experts have trouble
diagnosing some cases of polio IN
the early stages. Any child with an
unexplained fever, with soreness
and pain in the muscles particular
ly the back or neck muscles) or a
severe headache and vomiting must
be suspected of possibly having
polio. The appearance of these
symptoms calls for putting a child
to bed and calling a doctor. If the
child must be moved, he should be
made as comfortable as possible for
the trip.
Special care should be used not
to let an arm OF leg dangle unsup-
ported. Prompt medical action can
often save a life or reduce the Grip
ping of a limb. The doctor can tell
when it is necessary or wise to move
a patient in order to reach special
care or equipment. He a also tell
how to best protect the patient while
moving him. Above all, panicky be-
havior is to be avoided. Rest and
quiet are essential.
All Equipment Available
There is available in Montana al
most all the equipment ever used IN
treatment of polio. In a large state
with a small population, much of
this equipment will often be ut
quite a distance. The state board of
health, the Montana office of the
National Foundation of Infantile
Paralysis, and the family doctor
are kept informed of the where
abouts of special equipment. Much
of this equipment is moved about
and may be found in different places
at different times.
Cases of polio can be treated In
the early stages in any of our gen.
eral hospitals. During convalescenct
when special orthopedic Ear may bt
required, the family doctor may
wish to refer the case to one of thu
larger medical centers in the state
There are several of these wei
equipped orthopedic services il
Montana, and the family should ex
ercise their own choice after ascer
tanning from their doctor where sue
care can be obtained.
Because the tremendous expens
involved in the care of infantile pa
ralysis cases was keeping many {

provide, the late Franklin D. Roose-
welt organized the National Founda-
ton of Infantile Paralysis. This
foundation now has a chapter in
every county in every state. It's
purpose is to see that no case of
infantile paralysis goes without
needed medical care for lack of
funds. When the expense of care is
more than the family can stand
without mourning great hardship,
appeal can be made to the nearest
county chapter for aid.
The foundation has been most
liberal in the past. 1t also maintains
epidemic aid teams of skillful spe-
c~ialists and maintains pools of spe-
cial apparatus for use in epidemic
areas. The center serving Montana
is in Denver, Colo. From this center
the state board of health can at any
epidemic time secure needed pro-
fessional assistance and additional
special equipment such as iron
lungs. The foundation also aids
greatly in medical research being
done to conquer the disease.
Closing Schools Questionable
The question of closing schools or
swimming pools is a hard one to
answer. 1t is probably best to pro-
hibit all children under IL from all
public gatherings when an epidemic
of polio appears. This means keep
ing these children on their own
premises. 1t is not logical to close
schools and still allow children to
wander about the streets and stores
or to attend shows or churches or
other places where they contact
children from other neighborhoods.
In spite of any such restrictions,
very little effect has ever been pro-
duced IN an epidemic of the disease.
Medical Investigators believe that
the disease is carried by healthy
carriers, and since we have no test
to identify them, we cannot restrain
them. While there is no sound evil
dence to support closing of schools,
public opinion often demands this
procedure. The closing of swimming
pools is more logical, since the
water may be a means of ingesting
the virus and most swimmers will
swallow some water. Ordinary dis.
infectants such as chlorine will mo-
| destroy the polio virus; hence water
that will meet all standards fol
swimming pools may carry polit
virus.
