Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1942. PAGE TIVB HEALTH ASSN. IN BI-MONTHLY MEET Mystery of Polio Told By Buonocore Dr. Merkel Tells Cantonment Needs. Tte little progress made to date in solving the mystery of the dreaded disease, infantile paralysis, was traced yesterday for members of the Jackson County Public Health associa tion in an address by Dr. Law rence Buonocore of Medford and in a film, issued by the Na tional Foundation and shown by Dr. A. E. Merkel, county health officer. Both were given at the bi monthly meeting of the Health association in the court house auditorium. Both showed that while the public has suddenly become awakened to the neces sity of research work in this field, that the medical profes sion still knows little about the cause of infantile paralysis. It Is caused by a virus so small that it is not visible under the most powerful micriscope, Dr. Buono core stated. Name Is Misnomer The name infantile paralysis, jr : Tk HEIOCI fid rtmous tenor TV sire touh com rug tin. tS OIKtCTtO. ORors or COOLHO. SOOTMHO MPEETR0B, he pointed out, is a misnomer, as it also affect adults. The highest lnfectivity however, he stated, is among children under three years of age. The disease, first recognized in 1774, is quick in onset and leaves great devas tation, but the National Founda tion has been able to determine little about its cause beyond the virus. The film, shown by Dr. Mer kel, for its first Oregon appear ance, showed the ravages of the disease during the great New York epidemic, the beginning of the campaign for funds for re search, as initiated at the first President's Birthday ball, and the hope of the future, that some one will make the experiment, which will reveal the cause of infantile paralysis as science has found the cause of typhoid and diphtheria. It is for the accomplishment of this hope and for the care of those afflicted by the disease that funds are raised each year on President Roosevelt's birth day. Camp Work Told Prior to showing the film. Dr. Merkel spoke on the work being done in Jackson county, pre paratory to establishment of the army cantonment. He stated that while all the surveys have been made for the extension of sew age disposal and water supplies that no actual work has been done and that no funds are as yet available. He issued the "certificate of necessity", he stated, to put the program thru the required channel, but was informed that an emergency does not yet exist in the Med ford area. Hospital facilities will have to be expanded, he stated, and the trailer situation, experienced by other towns in army camp areas, will arise.
