The healthy financial state of
the regatta is in keeping with

Don't Worry About Polio,
DR.. Ellicott Tells Parents

duce needless economic and social
hardships for patients and their
families.
knowledge of the facts of polio
often helps to calm fears. We
know that transmission of the
disease for the great majority of
cases. is by close association with
infected persons. Outbreaks attri-
butable to milk have been rare and
limited, and although flies have
been found to be contaminated
with the virus, there has been no
reliable evidence of spread by in
sects, water, food, or sewage, DR..
Ellicott said.
There are known to be approx
mately 200 non-paralytic infec-
tons to every paralytic case. Dur
ing any outbreak, therefore, the
virus is so widely spread that
quarantine methods other than
prompt isolation of recognized
cases is useless, the Health Officer
commented Quarantine of camp
or a school during an epidemic is
generally not advised as those pre-
sent would have already been ex-
posed.
Current scientific evidence in
dicates that, unless an effective
vaccine becomes available ultimate
escape from infection is impossible.
Temporary escape from infection
may prove to be an actual disad-
vantage because of postponing it
to later date when consequences
might be more severe.
People Is years and older usual
ly build up antibodies which pro-
tect them from at least one of the
known polio viruses. During child
hood, contacts usually unknown at
the time give this immunity to polio
viruses. Children who have no re-
serve of antibodies, are more su-

Don't be too worried about polio
myelitis, Dr., V. L. Ellicott, Coun-
ty Health Officer, has advised par
ents. Polio is not as common and
usually not as dangerous as many
other less publicized illnesses.
Rheumatic fever, tuberculosis, and
many handicapping conditions, such
as accidental injuries, tumors,
epilepsy, cerebral palsy and host
of others are more to be feared.
During the last four polio cpl
denies in Maryland; namely, in
1914, 1949, 1850, and 1852, the
total number of reported cases
showing any sign of paralysis
averaged only BAL for the entire
State during the epidemic year.
This amounts to only one case in
about 2900 Of the population under
age 20. Moreover. about 76 per cent
If the cases diagnosed as paraly-
tic poliomvelitis eventually re-
covered with little or no handicap.
On the basis of Maryland expert
ence, therefore, the risk of con-
tracing severely paralyzing polio
is about l in 10000, even during
an epidemic year.
Deaths and severe disabilities
resulting from many other condi-
lions, such as rheumatic fever,
accidents, and tuberculosis, far ex-
iced those caused by polio, DR..
Fl'icott pointed out.
Maryland has been among the
first States adopting rational an
proach to polio based on scientific
knowledge rather than on unrea-
soning fear. Guided by enlightened
measures of control, camps and
schools are seldom closed any more
when an outbreak occurs. Unwar-
ranted quarantine regulations may
create or increase public fear or
hvsteria in epidemics, waste the
time and efforts of professional
personnel and facilities, and pro-

ed systems to a system not based on color
distinctions indicate that the Court is we'll
split in its collective thinking
The background of the Fourteenth
Amendment at its passage is contained in
Congressional records, which are available
to the Court. Certainly they must have been
searched in the decision Of 1896 which was
in effect that the amendment was not
preached where equal facilities were pro-
Vlded 1t would appear to a layman that the
question of intent is one which requires the
Judgment of the Court. There should be
enough information readily available to
them to reach a conclusion.
On the second question a progressive
non-segregated school system by law would
be as unacceptable to all parties concerned
as would an immediate revision. If an in
tegrated system is to come into being by
law. then it might as we'll begin now when
the changes necessary can be accomplished
for once and all. We still hold to the opinion
that a non-segregated school system in Vir-
ginia and in the South, where populations
are nearly equal is not desired by the think
ing people of either race and can become a
perpetual disrupting influence in race re-
lationShps. Under a program of gradual
effectiveness 1t would tend to prolong and
perpetuate the differences of opinion.

Such wholesale robbery Of the popua-

without precedent in the Communist world.
The Soviet monetary reform" of l947 and
the more recent reforms" in Rumania. Bull
garla and Poland have been similar But the
latest decree from Prague carries this open
robbery one step further Where the other
countries sought to avoid open repudiation
OF the Government debt and employed a
conversion process which left state bond
holders with at least some small fraction of
what they had originally invested, Czecho-
SloVakia has simply declared all its obliga

to have bothered those who planned this
financial surgery.
For us of the outside world who can
only grleve at the inhumanity shown to the
once free and proud people of Czechoslo-
Nakla there are some instructive features
IN this REFORM" The move stamps that
country's rulers as liars, for until the last
minute they kept on denying that any such
reform was contemplated and sought to
stem panic buying by false assurances.
Moreover, the very severity of the confisca-
ton imposed by the changes testifies to the
fundamental economic crisis which grips
Czechoslovakia and gives the lie to the glow
ing claims emanating from Prague about
the prosperity Of socialist Czechosovakia.
Finally, the cavalier fashion in which
this robbery was executed, without public
debate and in complete secrecy up to the
time the reform had been approved by the
rubber-stamp Parliament, is most illumi-
mating evidence of the true dictatoria ma
ture Of Communist rule in what was once

Wholesale Robbery


FREQUENTLY one hears the statement.
why worry about the national debt we
owe it to ourselves, 50 we can Just wipe it
off the books and start over again
There are fundamental errors in this
line OF reasoning: One. the government and
its people are morally obligated to pay the
debt; and two, for those who are not in
terested in principles, the reputation Of
the national debt would wreck almost every
bank and almost every insurance company.
And down with the banks and insurance
companies would 90 the money of the de-
positors and the value of whatever life in
surance an individual might own
Government bonds today represent a
high percentage of the assets of the average
bank and a substantial percentage of the as
sets of the average insurance company Also
there are millions of individual citizens who
have put part or all of their life savings in
government bonds. A Reputation of the ma
tlonal debt of course. would be repuda-
ton of all government bonds.
SoIthose who say that the national debt
IS Of no consequence and can be repudiated
at will not only are advocating thoroughly
dishonest course, but, also advocating
economic ruin
Communist Czeohoslovakia Just this
week repudiated its debt. In an editorial en-
titled Robbery in Czechoslovakia." The
New York Times discusses this action. The
editorial follows:
Rulers Of CzechosIovaka have struck
heavy blow at their helpless subjects.
They have completely rcpudiated the in
ternal state debt, wiped out bank deposits
blocked since 1915, ordered the compulsory
exchange Of old money for new at a rate
which amounts to virtually full confiscation
OF purchasing power, and created new
price level several times higher than that
previously prevailing for rationed goods.
For all practical purposes, therefore, say
lngs have been wiped out in the country and
prlce-wage relationships set up SO that
