Error Brings Reply
From Former Erie
Railroad Employee
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
| could not refrain from taking
exception to your account of the
accident at Claiborne last week.
In your account you mention
''The little used branch of the
Erie RR running from Marion to
Springfield" and 'The one day
local freight.
To the one who gave you this
information let me say in the
first place this division of the
Erie runs from Marion to Dayton
and besides the one day local
freight there are from four to
six through freights each day. 1t
is very advisable to take better
look when you cross the tracks
than you do when you cross that
streak of weeds and rust that
runs through your town from
Delaware to Springfield.
Respectfully Yours

out of the motel L. L. Clymer
proposed to operate at Five
Points. He was denied permission
to open the business after con-
siderable protest by the resi-
dents in that area.
Had that section of land OH
Five Points been transferred to
the commercial zone, there
would have been no control on
the type of business that could
have been operated there in the
future despite that fact that the
motel constructed by Mr.. Cly-
mer would undoubtedly have
been of the type permitted under
the new amendment.
The new amendment would
permit the operation of such
business as motels, funeral homes,
and other quiet and inoffensive
commercial projects. Dance halls,
saloons, etc. would not be per-
mitted in that area under the
amendment.
Two resolutions calling for tax
levieS, one a continuation and
the other new levy, were

The season when we expect the
highest incidence of poliomyelitis
is here. What do we know and
how can we be prepared to meet
the threat of this disease? For
the past several years only 10
persons out of every 100000
throughout the United States
have been paralyzed.
Even during epidemics the rate
has rarely been more than one
paralytic case per thousand popu-
lation. Approximately half the
people who are diagnosed as hav-
ing polio will have any paralysis.
OF those who do, about 80 percent
will have no lasting weakness,
and Is percent will have a milk
physical limitation.
Polio is caused by a virus of
which there are at least three

strains. There are no drugs, vac
cine or serums proved to be of
value in preventing or treating
the disease. The virus may be
spread by discharge from the nose
or mouth, by feces, or by flies
and by contact with a person who
is not recognisably sick. Children
seem to be more susceptible than
grownups, although an increas-
ing rate in young adults is being
reported.
The onset of the illness may re-
semble a common cold or an up
set stomach. In fact, that is all
that may be present in the non
paralytic or abortive cases. These
are rarely recognized as polio,
but fortunately the person af-
fected thus gains immunity to
the disease. If fever persists or
recurs and there is headache,
sore muscles, sore throat, trouble
swallowing, unusual nervousness
or crossness, pain in the back
of neck, or vomiting, a doctor
should be consulted is once.
What would you do if the di-
sease is in your neighborhood? L
is sensible to keep children away
from people whom they are no
with right along in close daily
living since the virus can be un

DDT Dip For FidO
VIII Control Ticks

A DDT dip for the family dog
will give protection against ticks
in the early summer when the in
sects are at the height of their
activity, says DR.. L. A. Stearns,
entomologist at the University of
Delaware.
1t is easier to cover a dog thor
oughly with DDT by dipping rath-
er than busting with powder, al
though a 10 per cent DDT powder
may be used. For a weekly dip,
buy so per cent wettable powder
and use in water according to di-
rections on the package. Usually
one level tablespoon of the powder
to one gallon of water is enough.
I If it is not practical to prepare
dip for your dog, satisfactory
water suspension spray can be
made by mixing ounces (about
two tablespoonfuls) of so per cent
wettable powder in one gallon of
water. This spray can be applied
with small compressed air spray
er. Saturate the dog, and repeat
the treatmen about every two or
three weeks during the "tick''
season.

County Farmers Warned
of Sun, Heat Stroke

High temperatures and the
rush of summer farm work makes
it easy to be overcome by several
forms of heat illness" commented
William E. Tarbell, County Agent,
today. Sunstroke follows prolong-
ed exposure to the sun; heatstroke
is from excessive heat with or
without exposure to the sun. The
effects are the same and either
may be fatal.
Mr.. Tarbell made the statement
in connection with National Farm
Safety Week, which will be observ-
ed July % to 20.
The symptoms of these strokes
are hot and dry skin, face red and
flushed, breathing hard and loud,
pupils enlarged and unconscious
ness may follow in severe cases.
Prevention is the best cure, but
you should be prepared if it does
strike. Here is what the National
Safety Council suggests for sun
stroke or heatstroke:
1. Move to a cool shady place,
strip to the underclothes, lay on
back with head and shoulders
raised.
2. Apply ice or cold wet cloths
to head, cool the body gradually
with cool bath or with a hose or
wet the clothes and rub limbs to-
ward the heart.
8. After treating for several
minutes, stop and observe patient.
If skin becomes hot again, resume
treatment.
4. If conscious, give cool drinks,
not ice cold. Do not give stimu-
lants.

Delaware POultrymen
Keep Eggs Cool

Several Delaware hatcherymen
are improving their egg holding
rooms to keep temperatures down
and humidity up this summer, ac-
cording to Silas McHenry, assist
ant extension poultryman at the
University of Delaware. Many new
cooling units and humidifiers are
being installed. He points out that
more ideal conditions for egg stor-
age mean better hatchability and
chick quality.
Charles Marker at Dover has
recently built a new 10 foot by 80
foot egg holding room with an
overhead garage door and truck
loading platform at one end. Ad-
poining it is the egg traying room

Plenty of Water Important
To Dairy Cows

1t may not be practical for dairy
men to give their cows ice-cold
lemonade this summer, but it is
practical-and profitable-to keep
them in the shade and provide
plenty Of cool water.
Edward H. Schabinger. New
Castle County's Agricultural Agent
says that keeping cows comfort
able in summer is more important
than many dairymen realize.
He tells of a farmer who had
field of good degume pasture and
another with a lot of shade, but
not too much for cows to eat. Mr..
Schabinger says the cows produced
more milk when they were pastur-
ed on the legumes at night and
kept in shade during the day than
they produced when they couldn't
get into daytime shade.
Smyrna times., 1950-07-13

The spray is not effective after
the ticks have already become at
tached to the dog. Use it before
the dog has a chance to come in
contact with the insects.
Stearns warns tina DDT should
never be used on the family cat.
Cats are much less tolerant to this
poison than dogs, and when they
lick their fur they may eat enough
DDT to cause illness and some
times death.

5. Get the patient to doctor or
a hospital as soon as possible. Con-
tinue the treatment in the ambu-
lance.
With heat exhaustion, the pa
tient's skin is cold and clamy. A
simple rule may serve as a guide
and avoid treatment confusion.
Briefly, it is this: If the patient is
cold, make him warm; if he is not,
make him cool.
