Only Six Cases Of Polio In
Key West In Recent Months
Has Not Reached
Epidemic Stage
At This Time
DIR. Peoples, County
Health Officer,
Says Polio Here
In Very Mild Form

There have been six cases of in
fantile paralysis developed in
Key West in the last few months,
DR.. William j. Peoples, Monroe
County Health Officer, said to-
day.
"The outbreak of polio here has
not reached the epidemic stage,
said DR.. Peoples. There has been
no paralysis in any of the recent
cases. The polio is a very mild
form. There is no cause for alrm.
Three of the patients are now
in the hospital. They are in an
isolation ward. Two of them are
adults and one is a boy of IA.
Three of the cases had developed
here in the last two weeks. Two
weer in April and one last June"
DR.. Peoples said that one of the
cases that had developed had
been of a Navy officer who had
just completed a six-week cruise
on destroyer.
Since that virus takes about
two weeks to incubate the officer
must have fallen victim to the po-
lilo attack while at sea-, said DR..
Peoples.
In connection with the out
break of polio, it was announced
today that films would be shown
on Thursday and Friday at 8 p.
M, in the Public Health Clinic,
Fleming and Thomas streets. The
film is a special showing loaned
to Monroe County by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis. The public in invited without
cost to see the film.
ANY local organization wish
ing'to show the film should contact
Mrs. Barbara Hawkins at 1882 w"

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-Sen. c. G.
Wimbish this week introduced
into. the legislature a bill to
license bookies in Chicago and
divide the revenue between the
city and the school system. The
bill as. introduced by the Chicago
Democrat is identical with that,
passed by the legislature in 1885
but vetoed by Governor Homer.
Sen. Wimbisn, who said he had
consulted party leaders about the
bill, stated that he had never at
tended a horse race in his life
but he felt that Mayor Kennedy
and Police Commissioner, Prem
dergast face an impossible task
in their attempt to eliminate
gambling in the city and feels
that it should be licensed and
useful revenue gained from hand
