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,

In The Mail-box:
Editor, Pilot: I noticed in one
of your editorials of a recent is
sue of your newspaper, a wish
that some one would sing a song
of the' Chetco since “the mouth
is closed and it cannot speak
for itself.”
1 first came to Brookings about
17 years ago and after a stay of
about three months, went back
home, purposing to sell out and'
come here to live.
It took nu* two years to ac
complish my purpose, and dur
ing the interim the strong yearn
ing lor this place and the friends
who came with me and those'
whom I met here during my so
journ, found expression in the
enclosed effort which I wrote at
that time and which 1 now sub
mit to you in answer to the afore
mentioned call. — J. J. Gallagher.
THE CALL OF THE CHETCO!
Hark! A call to the poor and
opprest
“Come, dwell in my Valley of
Peace and find rest
Where the Westerning Sun
a bright golden sheen
O’er my bosom of Azure, com-
mingled with Green.”
Bordered by Redwoods and Myr-
And sweet-seenIt'd wild flowers
perfuming the air
V here Nature* weave's bewitching
spells ’round the heart
Anel her charms make» my visit-
ors loath to depart.”
I here is beauty and grace in the
mountains and hills
In the deep-hidden grottoes, the
riv’lets and vales
But surpassing the magic of
streamlet and rill
There’s a charm more alluring,
more equisite still.
It is Friendship, that dear preci-
ous boon from above
Bonds of mutual purpose, ce-
mented in love
V here self and self-interest are
utterly lost
In service to others - whatever
the cost.
Sweet Valley of Chetco how
lovely to rest
On thy fair shaded slopes, with
friends I love best
Where friends freely spend
and are willingly spent
For mutual weal, and for love
Heaven sent.
How I long to go back to 1 that
valley of rest
Where brotherly kindness is haL
lowed and blest
Where the sweet bond of friend
ship is made more complete
Ey good-will at work, in that
sylvan retreat.

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.

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.
