Erin Merkel, county health officer. They are the first cases of the disease reported this year for local residents. , The first was a three-year-old boy, who is hospitalized in Med ford, and who is suffering a mild shoulder weakness from the dis ease, Dr. Merkel said. The other two cases involve a Central . Point husband and wife. The Woman was stricken with polio last week, and was flown to Eugene's Sacred Heart hospital by a Mercy Flights plane for treatment. . Husband 111 Yesterday, her husband came down with polio. Arrangements were completed with the non profit air ambulance service to take him to Eugene last night, and the service's twin-Cessna plane left the airport at about 10:45 p.m. A mechanical diffi culty in one engine developed about 10 minutes out, however, and the plane1 returned to the airport. The patient,. who was having difficulty breathing, was transferred to the Beechcraft twin engine plane owned by the Morrison-Knudsen company. The M-K pilot, Bill Ewns, flew the man to Eugene, and Bill Yerkey, of the Conger-Morris ambulance firm, accompanied him and serv iced the Conger-Morris respira tor which was used to aid the man's breathing.

No Cause for Concern Dr. Merkel said this morning that there had been six or seven cases of polio by this time last year, and the fact that there were three cases In one week here is no cause for any particu lar concern. Epidemic incidence is not reached until there are 20 cases per 100,000 population. . The health officer advised, however, that usual anti-polio precautions be observed. Most important of these are to avoid excessive fatigue and excessive chilling, particularly while swim ming.
