ATKEY - - Editor ;and Publisher THURSDAY, t AUGUST 21, 1947 POLIOMYELITIS -- A A WARNING TO PARENTS MILD epidemic of tih:e dread disease, poliomyelitis; is zepcated fromWestern Canada and Ontario, and ouist even a few causes are suspected in our own County Fif Huron. WIlih the idea in mind that a warning may be of. some value to parents :and others, Miss Marilbelle Macken- zie, C13hton, supervisor Of nurses for the County, has sup- plied The NEWS RECORD with some of the facts and symptoms in connection with "'polio". Poliomyelitis, commonly called "infantile paralysis", !s centuries old. During the past decade, our knowledge of ;alis disease hes been considerably advanced through many scientific studies. The causative agent 'of poll: myelitis is known as a virus; it is a lhvh'hsg micro-organism, not identi- fied by the ordinary laboratory microscope 'and laboratory procedures. It grows on living tissue, man and certain types of monkey. The virus has been recovered frown sew- age and flies; and also the nose, throat and exeremenits of 4128'17. ,. ,•. ,: The two types of poliomyelitis are "abortive" and "paralytic", the mjld or "abortive" type. being more common than the "pa'ralytic" type. 'Sylmptonhs df 'the disease are headache; apprehensive or drowsy temperature, 99-103;. Stiff neck or !stiff ;back; upset stomach; diarrhoea or con- stipation. The great majority out cages occur in children in the 5-9 age group. Children up to four years do not develop the disease as readily, nor do the Chiifdren in the alder, age group. Adults oceaksia>Inafly may develop :poliomyelitis. The chance of infection is greater in children who have had tonsils and 'adenoids removed 'during the summer months. Children Should not (become chilled fihrougll 'swimming in cold waster; they should not play in wet bathing suits too long. Food may be infected by flies. Flies may carry the virus; flies frequent and breed in refuse of all kinds. Protect your food from. fl'i'es. 1)o not use unsafe milk or waiter. See that the c'hildren do not Swint in polluted waiter. Here's what 7shpuld be done when poliomyelitis vaides: Put your :child to bed, on the filrst sign of illness - do not become panicky. Lek your physician know immed- iately. Isolate the child until :the physveian makes a dilag- nests. Only a few Oases stiffer from paralysis. Make sure you kill all flies. You ishould .protect all food from 'Blies. Elimb:mite their (breeding places. Let us pay more attention to sanitation and cleanliness. Insist upon knowing your child's whereabouts. Tell your children not to, play too strenuously, or swim in polluted waters. Invitattions to parties, movies, ib'aby shows, should be declined for'child- ren up to 14 years. Stick playmates should be avoided. 0 0 0 ri WORK SAFELY DURING the past twety yeas, seadily-increasingsing use of mechanized equipment in iagri'cuiture has greatly aided the farmer in the numerous tasks he must periform in the working day. It iii a Igrbn fact, how- ever, that While the use :of this equipment has saved lira countless bnen4houms of work, its Misuse in responsible yearly for thousands of farm 'accidents -- with resultant loss of time, money 'and, in tar too many oases, life. It would be 'ridiculous to say that the farmer would be batter off Iw7Nloutt modern mechanised egidpment; such a statement would be nnitrue. It is not the machne that causes the:accidents, 'buit ;the operators. Farm machinery is conr4tautly being timproved to make it en nearly"fooi- proof as possible so thtalt momentary carelessness, on the part of an otherwise careful :Operator will not result in injury. 'This knprovement will continue; but despite the wu10m'alte perfection of tare Iinaelline, .aeciden4s will:continue as long :as operators continue to disregard safety rules. Repair, adjust, unclog your equipment yes but not while it is running. 'Just las a chain is no stronger ttiivan its weakest link, so you are no safer than your most thoughtless act! For that reason, don't delay, speck your working 'habitis now With accepted safety rules and resolve to observe them. every day of the year.
