@. How long does it take for
polio to develop after being near
somebody who has the disease?
A. 1t usually takes 7 to Ia days
to come down with polio if you
have been infected with the virus
causing it.
@. How often is it safe to take
laxative? Our whole family
takes one at least once a week
to keep the bowels clear.
Normal people need no laxatives
to keep the bowels open. The right
kind of food plus plenty of water
and some daily exercise will help.
1t is not good idea to take laxa-
tives regularly because they can
do more harm than good. In severe
cases of constipation, doctor
should be consulted.

Patrol Cites The
Mistakes Causing
Fatal Accidents

In reviewing the fatal traffic
smash-ups that occurred over the
most recently holiday, last Labor
Day weekend, Colonel George
Mingle,s y Superintendent of the
Ohio State Highway Patrol, as
serted that the sixteen citizens
who lost their lives in these
sfnash-ups were needless victims
of some of the most common
driving mistakes and failures on
the part of drivers to exercise
good judgement and common
sense. q!4f3g
5g4sfett 4af eRf
The mistakes and failures which
accounted for the death toll were,
Colonel Mingle said: I. Driving
while under the influence of
alcohol which cost three lives; 2.
Failure to stop for stop signs and
yield the right of way claimed the
life of another three persons; 3.
Six were killed because the drivers
were travelling at an excessive rate
of speed and were unable to stay
ON their side of the road; A. Turn
ing left into the path of oncom-
ing traffic took another life; 5.
Passing over the yellow line where
the drivers did not have the as
sured clear distance ahead added
two more names to the list of
those killed, and 6. The pedestrian
attempting to cross a busy
thoroughfare between intersec-
tions lost his life.
In this total of eleven fatal ac-
cidents which claimed the lives
of these sixteen persons, funda-
mental and basic rules of the
road were ignored, Colonel Mingle
said.
Driving is a full time job and
requires strict obeyance to the
traffic rules and regulations if
accidents are to be avoided. Those
who persist in doing a bad job
of driving and disregarding the
traffic rules must expect to ulti-
mately pay, one way or another,
very costly price, Colonel Mingle
concluded.
