Cautions Against Closing Os Schools Oppose Upsetting Os Normal Living Chicago, Aug. II.—(UP)— The American medical association today cautioned against polio prevention measures that upset normal living habits. Unnecessary closing of schools and playgrounds may "bring more trouble than good.” an editorial in the AMA's journal said. Summer eamps and boarding sdbools should open as usual un lew there ts an outbreak in the immediate area, the journal said, sad public and private schools should not be closed during an outbreak "except for specific rowsona." , "Places of recreation and amusement need not be closed. However, the attendance of children should be discouraged." the journal said. "Whatever Is done to upset the a seal routine of children in the household, or adults in their regu lar habits, is likely to bring more trouble than good." The medical publication said that while Isolation Is recommended for actual polio cases, "quarantine has not proved valuable in limiting the spread of the disease. For every known case of the disease, It estimated there are "between 10 and 100" persons with infection that is not apparent. Pregnant women probably are no more susceptible to the disease than anyone else, the journal said, and children born to women who have polio are normal. Only about 15 percent of all polio cases result in permanent crippling. About 50 percent recover completely and 25 percent retain mild physical limitations. One of the best ways to prevent polio or lessen the paralytic effects Is to avoid overfattgne, the journal said. It also recommended avoiding unnecessary travel and physical strain; isolation In bed of all children with fever until the illness can be diagnosed; post poaement of nose and throat operations and dental extractions whenever possible until the polio outbreak wanes; and education in technique. of home bedside nursing. CONFESSES (Cast. From Page One) tight in a double knot. "I jut -couldn’t stand the thought of It growing up without the . best things In life," Mrs. BkeoeTlmid "Where I was raised in Astoria. Ore., my parents gave me everything I wanted and needed. I wanted my baby to have the same. 1 didn't want her to grow up the way we were force to live."
