Th ree Cases of Polio
Reported in County;
No Cause for Concern
Three cases of infantile par
alysis were reported in Jackson
county last week, according to
Dr. A. 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.
Responding to Treatment
Both he and his wife are suf
fering from' paralytic polio, but
the Eugene hospital reported
this morning that they are now
responding to treatment. Both
were subscribers to the Mercy
Flights pre-paid plan.
Only other polio case in this
area in 1952 was a transient,
whose disease was not classed as
a Jackson county case. Another

polio case, which resulted in the
death in southern California of
August 4, was not classed as a
local case. .
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. Lots of rest is important
too, he said.
