Ohio AIerts
Parents On
Polio Day" ="

The infantile paralysis season
is at hand in Ohio, one of the
states hardest struck by polio in
last years all-time record num-
Der of cases.
To better acquaint parents-and
children-with the dos and dont's'
to be observed during the months
when polio is prevalent, Wednes-
day, June "a has been designated
Polio Precaution Day in Ohio.
Polio Precaution Day is spon-
sored in the interest of public edu-
cation and service by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
Inc, which is sponsored by the
March of Dimes.
Spokesman for the Foundation
yesterday pointed out that last
year there were 1880 diagnosed
cases of infantile paralysis in
Ohio. 1t is interesting to note that
on the first of June last year there
were 18 cases reported in the
Buckeye State; on the same date
this year, SO cases had been re-
ported.
The five-year average, in Ohio,
for the first of June is 18 cases.
Nationally there were 2,047 cases
reported on June 1 last year, with
a five-year average of 1895 cases
on that date. On June l this year
there had been 1860 cases reported
throughout the U. S.
These figures, the spokesmen
said, do not necessarily mean that
1853 will be the worst polio year
in history. In fact, medical records
over the years prove that they
cannot be interpreted to chart any
kind of course.
The only thing the figures do
prove is that polio is present, cur
rently in Ohio and that more
cases may be expected-but how
many more is question only time
will answer.
Meantime, there are some polio
precautions to be borne in mind:
If polio strikes your community
pay attention to good, common
sense health rules recommended by
local health authorities and the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis:
1. Don't let your children mix
with new groups.
2. Don't let children get over
tired.
8. Don't let children get chilled.
A. Do keep them clean.
5. Consult your doctor if these
symptoms appear: headache, fever,
sore throat, upset stomach, stiff
neck or back.
6. Keep in touch with your local
National Foundation Chapter and
be guided by the recommendations
of your medical and health author
titles with regard to Gamma Globu-
lin inoculations.
Remember, Gam m Globulin
(GG) has proved to be an effec-
tive, but temporary, preventative
of crippling caused by polio. It is
extremely scarce. There will be
only about one million doses of
GG available in the entire nation
from now to September. There are
about 46,00O,0OO children and adol-
escents in the age groups most
likely to get polio.
Polio health officers working
with private physicians will dis
tribute GG in Ohio.
Where it is made available, you
should not be able to buy it nor
should there be any charge for it.
A private physician however, may
charge for his service in giving it.
The state health director is re-
sponsible for the ALLEGATION of the
limited amount Of GG in Ohio.

Dry Cleaner Wins
Suit Against Phone
Co., Awarded 81

A dry cleaner who had pressed
a $4,000 suit against two tele-
phone companies today wound
up with a 81 verdict.
The cleaner, Thomas H.
Woods, had brought the suit
against the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone companies Of
Washington and Virginia.
His attorney, Foster Wood, as
serted that Mr.. Woods had
been refused a requested listing
as 'Drycleaner Woods" After
four years, the attorney declared,
Mr.. Woods, in 1850, was granted
the requested listing. The at
torney declared that SubSe-
quently Mr.. Woods business
crossed an additional $4,000
yearly.
It was contended that through
the failure to list as requested in
the previous years, Mr.. Woods
suffered loss of potential buSi-
ness.
But today Federal Judge Wal
ter M. Bastian held that the A.
nancial reasoning was too spec
ulative and awarded Mr.. Woods
81. The dry cleaning plant is
situated at 112 Shreve street,
Falls Church, Va. Mr.. Wood said
he would appeal the verdict.

Sitting on Front Lawn Brings

Two families have been Or

Operators of the 240-unit de-

It's against regulations to sit
