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.

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.
