It is definitely known to be a virus infection. It is an ex tremely small virus and very resistant to the usual methods of destruction, such as extreme heat, freezing, chemicals, etc. Polio virus has been found in the intestinal tract, nose and throat, and has been removed from sewage disposal. It is known then, that polio may be gotten from flies and insects from contaminated sewage, contaminated vegetables and from direct contact. Tl, _l ---i iiicic iimy aiso De UHKnown means of infection. It is important then that boys and girls camps for outings should not be located near streams, lakes or springs where any polio cases have occurred. Before we go any further, let us say this: our local doctors tell us that the present epidemic of polio which fortunately struck only a few in this area, apparently has reached its peak and is on a decline at this time. Nevertheless, all of us are interested in polio because we do not know who or when it will strike and for this reason we are presenting these facts. Much has been said about children not having their tonsils removed during the summer months because of the danger of polio. It has been definitely established that this should not bo done in the midst of a polio epidemic area but a competent doctor will know and give you the proper advice as to when tonsils should be removed from your child. Consult him and unless conditions change, a tonsillectomy which has been changed to a later date can be performed unnn \im1U .] ? -? e ??.. ??.wi mi uciiifjiT ior alarm on your part. There has been a tremendous amount of research done by the polio foundation and medical centers throughout the world in an effort to discover an effective serum or vaccine to prevent polio. Out of this effort has come Gamma Globulin or immune human serum, three or four years ago. It is made of a by AUGUST IS, 19S4 MP?Scoutmaster John Vassey is Clinton Mi'l Boy Scout Troop were a doctor before going to Camp instruction. By CAROLYN INGLETT MYRTLE WEST Clinton-Lydia Nurses product, or derivative, of the blood which so many of us have contributed through the Bloodmobiles. Gamma Globulin has been used in mass innoculations of whole communities where polio epidemics prevailed and the results have been gratifying but not completely successful. The latest estimates are that about 80 per cent of the innoculations produce a sue cessful immunity to polio. There is a discouraging feature about Gamma Globulin. There is only a comparatively small quantity available. This fact creates such a problem that it is not for sale. The entire supply is distributed free of charge by the various state health departments and is necessarily limited to families and contacts of polio victims. More recently, a Doctor Salk and his associates have developed a new vaccine which they hope is more ef fective that Gamma Globulin. This vaccine, however, is still in the experimental stage and the dangers of its use have not as yet been determined. Yet, this indicates progress. The best scientific minds, backed bv enormous financial support which includes our own contributions here at Clinton-Lydia, are working constantly and feverishly on the problem and we can only hope that out of it all will soon come a sure, safe and comolete nrovpntinn nf this I - 1? ~ " disease.
