Health Office Warns Against Undue Fear
OfPoHo Infection From Swimming Pool

formation, the State Department
of Public Health has no reason
to expect that closure of properly
equipped and operated swimming
pools will have any effect on the
occurrence of sporadic cases of
poliomyelitis in communities.
However, this policy further
states, Unsatisfactory con-
structed or operated swimming
pools should not be permitted to
operate regardless of whether or
not there is poliomyelitis in the
vicinity"
Latest Facts of Polio
Polio is caused by a virus. A
virus, like a germ, can cause di-
sease. Some other diseases caused
by different viruses are chicken
pox, measles and influenza.
The polio virus probably enters
the body through the mouth. In
some people it may then attack
the nervous system. When nerves

picion that a pool has any con-
nection in the spread of polio or
other diseases, the pool water
must be maintained in accordance
with recommended safe quality
standards. In order to satisfy
these standards, proper and ade-
quate equipment must be avail
able at the pool to effect recircu-
lation, disinfection and filtration
of the water. The following con-
troll practices should be rigidly
adhered to:
Exercise strict supervision
over bather preparation. Each
person should be required to
cleanse his entire body surface
through the use of soap and warm
water showers to minimize the
introduction of contamination in
to the pool water. 1t is important
that patrons be made to realize
that the function of a swimming
pool is solely aquatic recreation
not cleansing agency or bath.

Speed is Cause
OF Most Accidents

| Colonel George Mingle, super
intendent of the Ohio State High
way Patrol, pointed out today
that for the first six months OF
this year 1853 persons have been
killed in traffic accidents in
vestigated by the Patrol, which
is an increase of 81 over the 329
fatalities for the same period in
1949.
Speed" he said, ''is by far the
most frequent violation in traf-
fic accidents on rural state high
ways. A speed violation is in
volved in traffic accidents on
rural state highways. A speed vio-
lation is involved in about one
tout of three fatal accidents. Fast
driving not only increases your
likelihood of having an accident
it also increases the chance
that the accident you may have
will be fatal. An accident which
happens at go mph, is 212 times
! as likely to be fatal as an accident
at 40 mph. 1t is eight times as
likely to be fatal as an accident
at 20 mph.
"An unsafe speed" says Colo
mel Mingle, sis any speed, even
if it is below the posted limit,
which is too fast for you to take
sharp corner or to stop sud-
denly to avoid a collision; any
speed which may be too fast
for the condition of the road,
the weather, the traffic, the driv-
er's car or the drivers own
ability.
Fully as important then, as
the posted speed limits, Colo
mel Mingle added, ARE the speed
limits that each motorist should
| impose upon himself. In every
driver there should be a sense
of responsibility toward his
driving "a realization tn a {
posted speed limits are an inter
probation of what constitutes a
safe. speed on road under ideal
conditions"
How fast you may drive de-
pends upon conditions - night,
fog, rain, other traffic, the road
surface, etc. A fundamental
speed rule which every motoriSt
must observe is that any speed
which is unsafe is unlawful.
''The fact that speed, which is
strictly a driver action, is re-
sponsible for so many deaths on
our streets and highways, it pres
ents a challenge to every motor
ist and a personal obligation to
drive at a safe speed at all times.
Speed control, Colonel Mingle
said, becomes an Individual re-
sponsibility and should take pre-
cedence over any other considera-
ton"

Football Practice Two Weeks Off;
Seven Lettermen Return From '49

John Evans and Bud Hoffman
are the sole lettermen in the
backfield. Evans proved himself
one of the best during last years
undefeated season and Hoffman's
record speaks for itself. He was
All-Ohio last year at halfback on
the Associated Press Class B
team and had an invitation to
play in the State north-South
all-star game this fall. This pair
will give Marysville two of the
best running backs on any team.
Both are good on defense and
Hoffman will do most of the
punting and a lot of the passing
this year.
Dave Linzinmier, George Hill,
and Bill Porter will round out
the running backs and Jim De-
Good, sophmore, seems to be
the only prospect at quarterback.
Gene Woods was a good defensive
back last year.
Jim Kleiber and Charles Nc
Cracken are both lettermen at
the end posts. The latter has
proven under fire and can be
counted on to hold up his end
of the line play all season. Klei-
Der is a sophmore but performed
well in the Marysville win over
Delaware last year. Both are
big, strong, and capable.
The center of the line looms
as big question mark. Three
lettermen returned and they
must be spread thin. Gone are
the 200 Founders that made the
Marysville forward wall one of
the best in this area last year.
Returning are Jerry Ruble, who
can play guard, tackle, or CEN
ter; Dave Dayton, and Ed Low,
guards. Center and the tackle
positions will be hard to fill.
AT this stage of the game
Coach Wenzel is as much in the
dark as any of his fans. He does
not have the manpower in re-
serve to build with as he did
last year when the lack of letter
men was offset by a group of re-
serves who came through in
grand style. 1t remains to be
seen how the Monarchs will make
their entry into the newly formed
Mid-Six League which will pres
ent the toughest kind of COM
petition for a class B school.

Northwest Rains Bring Floods

SEATTLE, (P)- Rain pelted down on most of the Pacific northwest today, bringing ming led feelings of relief and appre- hension.
 The accompanying rise in tenn peratures meant at least a tenn perary end to the bitter cold that has locked Oregon, Washington, Idaho and cross-border British Columbia in it's grasp for more than week.
 But it also brought fear of a new danger-floods-to loWland residents.
 Already in Oregon the Kilchis river had left it's banks and coV- cred the coastal highway GUS 1O1 with a foot and a half of water near TillamoOk.
 Washington national guard un- it's were ordered to prepare fOr flood emergencies.
 In Seattle, police were armed with shoVels and ordered to free all street drains as miniature floods blocked intersections.
 The weather bureau said to- days rainfall would be accompan. jed by freezing in scattered spots of the region.
 Yesterdays near silver thaW sent numerous areas into virtua isolation as the weight of ice felled utility lines and poles.

Vatican Envoy Resigns

WASHINGTON, P)-President Truman said today a decision on whether to name a new ambassa- dor to the Vatican is under study.
 The president told a news con- ference that the question of con tinuing representation at the Vati- can and appointing successor to Myron C. Taylor are both under study at the state department.
 Taylor resigned yesterday af- ter 10 years as the presidents special envoy to Pope Plus XII.
 The announcement of Taylor's action brought to a fresh boil a controversy that has been hot be- fore.
 Taylor, an Episcopalian, had held the job since it was created. During most of those ten years, there has been strong Protestant pressure to call nm nome. On!Y Tuesday a group of 15 Protestant clergymen called on the president to abolish the alleged legation at the Vatican"
 But such a decision probably would result in equally vigorous dissent from American Catholics.
 In congress, there was some sentiment especially among Catholics-for naming a success sor to Taylor, a 76-year-old busi- nessman.
 Most lawmakers backed away from the question.

Statehood Bill Chances Good

WASHINGTON, (P)-A bill to grant Alaska statehood may be brought before the house as a re- suit of today's defeat in attempt
 to restore the house rules commit
 tees power to pigeonhole legiS-
 lation under present rules. Com mittee chairman was given the right to ask the house to take the bill away from the rules commit tee if he served notice at least tWenty-one days before. Chairman Peterson D-FlaO of the public lands committee told a reporter he well seek recognition to call up Alaska statehood bill when the house cOnVeneS Monday. Notice of his intention to do so was served on rules committee last session. Chairmen and several other committees also expected to seek recognition to bring their bills up. What legislation is to be called up depends on whom the speaker recognizes. Peterson says he plans Alaska statehood first, then Hawaii statehood, then one to provide Alaska homesteading whereby war veterans can home stead as much as 256O acres. Bart lett says he believes today's ac- tion improved chances of getting house to vote for statehood bills.
