Subscribe for The Plaindealer (From "The Health Messenger^ ' No disease of tour time is more productive of panic and hysteria than _ is poliomyelitis. Exactly why this is true is not known. From the standpoint of fatalities, polio does not compare with diseases such as Kneumoma, cancer or tuberculosis. Tor do its crippling after-effects leave their mark on anywhere near as many children as does rheumatic fever, whfth leaves a permanently damaged heart in many a child. Perhaps the explanation lies in the fact that the sum total of knowledge available about this disease is still meager. Or perhaps it is the total unpredictableness of the diease. No 'one knows or can foretell when poliomyelitis will strike. Usually there are, very few cases until July, but this year in Illinois there were more cases recorded from January to June 80 than have been recorded for that period of any other year in the past twenty-five years. By the first of September this year there had been 1,088 cases reported, well scattered throughout the state. The disease this year is rather mild when compared to some of the previous epidemics and the death rate has been low. The peak is usually reached by the middle of September. However, the parents of a child ill with poHbnyslitie are not interested in whether the disease is present -in what might be called ita "nofmal seasonal incidence" or in epidemic proportions. Polio striking without warning and with practically no positive preventive measures available has much the same effect on the fears and superstitutions of many as the plagues and yellow . years gone by. Often resort is made to more or less prinfltive defense' action, aueh as running away from affected neighbors or communities. The futility of such measures has been .demonstrated again and again sincf they are not based on established scientific evidence and are mrpoesMe of complete achievement under modern conditions. There are nevertheless certain general precautions which can be put into practice. A high standard of personal and community hygiene should be maintained. To the individual this means a sensible program of work and play, avoiding over-exertion and eteessive fatigue, a well-balanced diet and scrupulous cleanliness. Parents should look with suspicion upon even minor upsets in their children--vomiting, constipation or diarrhea or a slight cold. A child coming down with poMo may become drowsy or restless, feverish, irritable. A doctor should be called without delay if a child shews even slight signs of illness when cases of polio Appear in the community. To the community these standards mean a BOOTIES Haitdnade moccasin-type booties widijibbee.lieesid ey broidery. P«ldt.

India* Fighters How American Indians put the Indian sign on Hitler and Hirohito is disclosed in the 1940 Encyclopaedia Britannica Book of the Year. Three hundred Navaho Indians acted as code talkers in the front line communications of the marine corps, using their native language. It proved to be an unbreakable code. Reports to the Indian office announced that 4 Indians merited the Distinguished Service Cross;.86, the Distinguished Flying Cross and 8, the Soldier's Medal. Fifty-two Indians were awarded the Silver Star; 53 won the Bronze Star; and 71 received the Air Medal. Many additional awanfp and oak leaf clusters wefe also credited to Indian G.I.s. The Book of the Year points out that a full-blooded Pima, Pfc. Ira Hayes, was one. of the six flag raisers on the summit of Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima. Harvey Natchees, a Ute, was the flrst U. S. soldier to enter the center of Berlin. LeRoy Himlin, another Ute, was with the first group to make contact with the Russians on the Elbe. i* end "Thanksgiving* en two wotds Art ehreys bfaed to- 0iatW)f, rtHrvflt plttwwt lwemcariis fee jo% jetaabmjmt.
