LlstPrecautions for
Polio Prevention

Chilling or over-fatigue may
constitute the trigger which
connects a silent case into a
clinical case; these trigger fac
tors may also make the differ
ence between a mildly paraly-
tic case with full recovery
and a severe case with residual
crippling.
The Geauga County Chapter
officers are: Chairman - Mrs.
Isabelle Kochert, Chesterland;
Vice-chairman - Mrs. Audre
Blair, Newbury; Treasurer -
Mr.. Lester Rayl, Chardon;
Secretary - Mrs. Paul L. John
son, Chardon.
Thanks to the contributions
of local citizens to the March
of Dimes last January" Mrs
Kochert, Chairman said, 1--WE
have at hand what we hope
will be sufficient money to
assure each patient adequate
care. We pray our county will
escape a severe polio outbreak
but should it occur, we want
the community to know that
our Chapter will make its en-.
tire resources available for the
assistance of PATIENTS

A new set of 'Do's and
Dont's" in guarding children
and adults against polio dur
ing summer and fall months
was issued today by Mrs. Isa-
belle Kochert, chairman of the
Geauga County Chapter of the
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis.
eff polio comes" Mrs. Koch
ert said, "the National Foun-
dation recommends positive
action as follows:
"Do allow children to play
with friends they have been
with right along. Keep them
away from new people, espec-
tally in the close daily living
of a home.
"Do wash hands carefully
before eating and always after
using the toilet - especially
important when polio is around.
Also keep food clean and
covered.
"Do watch for signs of sick
ness, such as headache, fever,
sore throat, upset stomach, sore
muscles, stiff neck or back,
extreme tiredness or nervous
ness, trouble in breathing or
swallowing.
do put sick person to bed
at once, away from others, and
call the doctor. Quick action
may lessen crippling.
"Do telephone your local
chapter of the National Foun-
dation at Chesterland Gil if
you need help. No patient need
60 without care for lack of
money. Your chapter will pay
what you cannot afford.
do remember - at least
half of all polio patients get
well without any crippling."
Here are the "don'ts":
Don't get over-tired by hard
play, exercise, work or travel.
This means men and women
as well as children.
Don't get chilled. Don't
bathe or swim too long in
cold water, or sit around in
wet clothes.
Don't have mouth or throat
operations during a polio out
break.
Don't use another persons
towels, dishes, tableware or
the like.
Don't take children to places
where there is polio. Ask your
health department.
Don't take your child out
of camp or playground where
there is good health supervis-
ion."
None of these precautions
can guarantee immunity to
polio, but they are common
sense steps that may very well
reduce a youngsters chances
of getting paralytic polio.
Scientists have found that
during polio outbreak there
are hundreds of "silent" car
rierS of the disease - that is,
persons who have been infected
by the infantile paralysis virus
but are not sick.

) Polio
Cases in
Geauga

Geauga's first three polio
cases for 1852 were reported
by county health commissioner,
DR.. w. P. Edmunds, during
the past week.
Jean Gemsek of Russell was
admitted to City Hospital,
Cleveland, Wednesday, July 23,
but returned to her home on
Waters rd. Monday. Also hos
pitalized in the Cleveland hos
pital is Darrell Mastrongelo,
aged three, of Chesterland. She
was admitted on July 27. Ber-
niece Baptie, wife of Kenneth
Baptie of Parkman, was ad-
mitted to Akron City hospital
on July 27.
Closes Swimming Pools
DR.. Edmunds, in an attempt
to prevent further cases in the
county, has closed Wearsch's
pool in Chardon and swim
ming pool operated by the West
Geauga Recreation Council in
Chesterland. Both pools were
open to the public.
He explained in a letter to
the Chardon Aquarius club and
the West Geauga Recreation
Council that 81 regret very
much having to close the swim
ming pool to the public"
He further stated, "Our
knowledge of polio is limited
even with physicians who are
spending their entire time stud
ying the disease.
"The action taken in the
various counties depends main
ly upon the judgment of the
health commissioner, and this
judgment differs in each
county. My own belief is that
we should do everything which
seems sensible to prevent the
epidemic. The belief is pretty
well accepted that the polio
virus gains entrance to the body
through the nose and mouth,
and is excreted by way of
the nose, mouth or rectum.
This being true, it would be
very difficult to justify the
use of the small pool by
large number of children, and
so / have taken action to close
the Chesterland pool and the
Chardon pool to the public.
1t is especially hard to make
this decision because the peole
who own these pools have
been most generous in granting
their use to the public and
the organizations which have
promoted the use of the pools
were entirely activated by their
wish to make life more attrac-
tive and healthful to children.
II have today requested that
churches hold no picnics nor
dinners during August and
September, and will try to take
every reasonable precaution to
protect. the people of this
county against polio. I'm
doubtedly number of people,
will disagree with my decisions,
and they will have good auth
ority to sustain their position,
but will try to be as correct
in my judgment as possible
and not be influenced by fear
of criticism"
Mrs. Tom Bostwick, head of
the Aquarius club project, said
if the pool could not be open
during the remainder of the
summer, the persons who have
purchased season passes would
be offered half the cost of
the pass as a refund, but 1--WE
are hoping they will leave the
entire amount as a donation to
the fund"
She also stated, "We have
cleared about $500, but we
were hoping to make $1,000
during the whole summer to
add to Chardon's municipal
swimming pool fund.-"
