Milder Forms of Polio

By HERMAN N. IUNDESEN, M.D. A FEW days ago, I was glancing over the figures showing the number of polio cases reported to the various health departments, year by year and month by month. A question that struck me at once was, why should so few cases be reported, when so many occur? I believe that practically all health authorities are now agreed that polio Is as common as measles; that, in fact, almost everybody, sooner or later, has at least a mild attack of this disease. The Mild Form Fortunately, by far the great majority of cases are so mild that they can hardly be detected. The child afflicted has a degree of fever, perhaps a little pain In the back and a feeling of tightness. Now and then, there might be symptoms resembling a cold, for a day or two, or perhaps even some kind of bowel upset, but the symptoms disappear as rapidly as they come on. Luckily, too, these mild attacks seem to immunize or protect the child against further attacks. Perhaps It is only the few children who escape these mild In-

accused of taking a SIO,OOO bribe for approving a change in building plans for a housing development and inference is given that he made money on the side while serving in the government post. If guilty, he is not the first man to break a trust, nor will he be the last. However, that line of reasoning not excuse him for violating the law and if he has committed a crime he should be punished. 0 -0 There are four candidates tor the judgeships of the Indiana Appellate court, northern district, two from each of the major political parties. . Although elected from a district, a state-wide vote decides their election. This means that either two Republicans or .two Democrats, or one Republican and one Democrat can be named by the voters. Each candidate Is not pitted against one man as arranged on tlfe ballot, but the law provides that the two receiving the largest number of votes shall be elected. Our fellow townsman, Severin Schurger is one of the four candidates and to elect him to the Appellate bench, he must be one of the two highest when the votes are tabulated. Adams county friends can help him along the road to victory by remembering him when they mark their ballot Nov. 2. -—fl -fl— The Republican organization in Nevada is giving the country a poor demonstration in upholding the constitution and observance of the law in trying to prevent the' election of a United States Senator next month. The death of the late Sen. Patrick McCarran has created a vachhcy in the upper branch of congress and an interim appointment has been made, which act is not contested. Leader!. in the legalized-gambling state are going to court to prevent the Republican and Democrat parties to place their nominees for the senate on the November ballot. The move is to keep the appointed senator in office until 1957, when the new congress convenes. No doubt the political fight will go on and the appointee’s right to the tan will be contested on the floor of the senate, if the party bosses succeed in circumventing the law.*

Sore Throat A good treatment for a sore throat is alternate gargles of peroxide and listerine, both diluted with water.

sections who succumb to a inore severe one that may even produce paralysis. Even when paralysis does occur, complete recovery may be looked for in the majority of the i cases. Sometimes the paralysis is i so mild that It is hardly discoverable, except by special tests of the nervous system and muscles. Modem Methods Invaluable For the severe cases of polio with paralysis, and the bulbar cases that affect the breathing and swallowing, modem methods of treatment have done much to save the lives of most of those ' affected. Hope for permanent protection , against polio lies In the develop- ’ ment of vaccines and, as most people know, studies to deter- ’ mine the efficacy of various types , of vaccines are going on at the ( present time. , QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. C.: I had a heart attack one year ago. Since that time I i have lost my appetite. Could the i heart attack bo responsible. Answer: Injury to the heart does in many cases produce nausea and loss of appetite.

Is it -proper for a man to say, “I am very glad to have met you,” when taking leave of a womw to whom he has just been introduced? A.

- - Red China Is Delermined To Take Formosa Signs In Far East Point To Formosa As Next On List WASHINGTON (INS) — All signs in the Far East pointed today to a Chinese Communist determination to conquer Formosa by words if possible but by arms if necessary. Washington experts said the Red timetable apparently puts Formosa next on the conquest list — well ahead of any move info southern Vietnam or Thailand. They pointed to the fact that Red Premier Chou En-lai said that China’s foreign policy is for “peace’’ and her domestic peace requires the "liberation’’ of Formosa. There are psychological grounds for the Communist determination to capture Formosa, but there are even more important military reasons,Red possession of the island would drive a wedge into the carefully developed U. S. western Pacific defense arc. It could even lead to a shift in power balances which would force pull back to islauds like Guam and Saipan. The psychological reasons are simple and apparent. The Communists have been promising to "liberate" Formosa siqce 1949. It is the one “promise” they have failed to fulfill. _ The Red Chinese have made much of the claim that they do

what thpy say they will do. In addition, the Mao Tse-tsung government, sensitive about its prestige, has declared that it Is an affront to have a part of China territory withheld with the aid of a foreign power—the U. S. Diplomats of nations that recognize Red China are being urged by Peiping to support the Communist regime’s claim to Formosa before the United Nations. Non-official sources such as the recent Attlee-Bevan British Labor party group which recently visited China, are being wooed in an effort to swing world public opinion behind the Communist claim. An ominous factor was injected recently when the Reds renewed the old and familiar* tactic of trying to induce Chiang Kai-shek’s troops to desert—a tactic that paid off so well during the fighting on the mainland. A direct appeal was made to the Nationalist officials and men on Oct. 1 by the "People’s Liberation army” headquarters. The appeal claimed social and economic gains had been won by the Chinese people; declared the U. S. had turned Formosa into a "colony;” said the Chinese Red army is now one of the great military forces of the world; and finally offered jobs, homes and forgiveness to any Nai tionalist who would defect.
