2 Members Of Family
Stricken With Polio
Within Two Weeks

For the second time in two
weeks, infantile paralysis has
struck down a child in a Silver
Spring family whose home is near
open drainage bitches which resi-
dents of the area claim are breed
ers of the disease.
The victim, a 7-month-old boy
in the 200 block of Franklin ave-
nue., is the 35th case reported in
Montgomery County this year.
Two cases were fatal. The child
has been admitted to Children's
Hospital after being stricken about
two weeks ago.
The bitches run along Franklin
avenue between Flower avenue and
Old Bladensburg road.
AS result of complaints from
parents in the neighborhood,
county and State officials inspect
ed the bitches last week and
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr promised that the bitches
would be drained and graded to
prevent water from collecting in
them. i.
n DR.. v. L. Ellicott, county health
officer. declared today. however,
that poor drainage plays no part
in the transmission of polio"
Some factors in poliomyelitis
epidemiology are still unex-
planned" he asserted, but we dc
know that the mechanism OF
spread is that Of direct contact
from person to person. This dis
ease is not spread through out
side environment, as in the case OF
typhoid fever.
The discouraging factors of
poliomyelitis are that no effective
type of immunization has been
discoverd and that there is no ef-
fective way Of stopping the chain
of transmission from person to
person"

program which would involve the
employment of about eight physi-
clans in the Greenbelt area. He

projected plan would probably
cost no more than $1,000 yearly
paid to DR.. Eisner.
Mr.. Mcdonald said that in the
interim he is serving as acting
health officer and that he is now
employing on an "honorarium
basis" several physicians in and
around Greenbelt to conduct the
city clinics as the need arises.

Gil created a new post Of leader Of
the recently founded Greenbelt
Childrens' Orchestra, at a fee Of
