PAGE TEN The World's Best Climate State's Polio Cases Predicted To Be 150 More Before First Of New Year PORTLAND If Oregon’s polio pattern continue to follow trends which the disease took in the state1 in 1943, Oregon residents can expect to count an additional 150 cases by Jan. 1, 1950. This year’s polio incidence in Oregon bear a striking resem blance in some respects to the 1943 outbreak, according to the state board of health. For exam-* pie, it was pointed out that the 41st week of 1943 brought on the heaviest infantile paralysis on slaught of that year, a total of 33 cases, and 33 cases also were reported for the 41st week of this year. It was the state worst polio week of the year and also its worst since the 41st week of 1943, Dr. Saffniel B.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1949 BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON demiologist informed the Port land office of the National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis. Dr. Osgood’s report to March of Dimes agency said that the state board is wondering “if 1949 will continue to adhere* to the pattern of 1943 when a gradual decline began after the 41st week and continued right into Janu ary.” The number of cases re corded between Oct. 15 and Dec. 31, 1943, was 150, Dr. Osgood added. Commenting on 1ht' sharp out break of cases after this year’s cool weather had set in, Dr. Os good said he "rather suspected that more cases of the milder type an* being recognized.” He ex plained that, due to the widely- spread nature of this year’s polio attack, there is a greater famili arity now with abortive and non paralytic type of infection than there might have been at the outset of the season when it was possible that some milder cases were thought not to be j polio. The 33 cases of the 41st week lifted Oregon’s polio total for the , year to 234 cases, approximately 100 more than had been counted at the same time in 1948. Nation al estimates place the final figure for 1949 at a record of 40,000 to 45,000 cases. Getting Their Men, No Worry For Any Ore. College Coed EUGENE To get your man. girl, go to Oregon State College! In fact, each girl at OSC is en titled to three and one-fifth men, and discounting a few who are married, that is a pretty good percentage. OSC records this fall show 5146 men to 1617 women, a bigger ratio of men to women than at any other major insti- tion of the state system of higher i ducat ion. A girl at the University of Or egon can only fairly claim 2.3 men. for there are 4078 men and women. Coeds at leges of education have between one and two men as their share. At Southern Oregon are 185 men and 275 women (ration 1.8 to Eastern Oregon, 325 men to 245 women (1.3 to 1); and Ore- gon College of Education, 318 t ) (1.2 to 1). Five year ago the ratios were the direct opposite, for most of tho men were at war. Oregon State's was 3 to 1, with women outnumbering men 1511 to 468. But the 115 women at OCE didn’t have a chance. The 6 men enroll ed each had 19 women from which to choose.
