Pickin' Pears By SID HOLLINGSWORTH . . Minnie Bryant has been busy "this week assembling material : for her "History of Camp White," which will be brought up to date after' the revision made year ! ago. , . i .. Few people are in a better position to relate the story of Camp White than this tireless J social worker of Medford, WCTU state director in the de partment of soldiers and sailors, and a charter member of Ameri can Legion Post 15 auxiliary. . She started looking after the boys when the! Army was en- i camped here, and continued her work after the Navy took the hospital ' which now accommo dates the Veterans Administra- , tion domiciliary center. I Minnie , Bryant started . her special mission for the domici- liary aien about four years ago. In 1133, she decided to publish i a mimeographed story about ? Camp White today. The idea !. grer out of the numerous re l quests for information from the 'soldiers 'and sailors she knew, wttsri they were here. I ' The pamphlet, which she pays 100 copies.

There are few families in this valley who don't' know of the work- Minnie Bryant is doing, and they assist her in many ways, and furnish her with a vivid cross section of the vicissitudes of life. Only once in her exper ience, she says, has any mother stated her desire to keep her child out of school. She has been engaged in re cent weeks with arrangements in connection with the Legion poppy poster contest in the Med ford public schools, an annual affair, conducted Viationally. The winning posters are now being shown in Medford, she stated. "We handled the Army and Navy .housing bureau, under sponsorship of the Chamber of Commerce, for families of serv icemen during the war,"- she re lates. "And we made it a rule never to turn anyone away in all of this time." This, she .ad mits, was sometimes a difficult assignment for'the WCTU house holds offering assistance. She could write another book about these experiences, but they will have to remain a part of the leg end of the times. Her work here now is largely with the American Legion, and every post in the state knows about Camp White from the his tory she is writing each year.

' MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1955 Existence of Anti-Polio Said No Cause to Be Careless Br DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Polio spe cialists are afraid the mere ex istence of the Salk anti-polio vaccine will make some people careless about polio, which would be too bad because polio is not something to toy with. When some one is about to come .down with polio, there us ually is fever. The fever may be accompanied by headache, lassi tude, sweating, nausea', vomit ing, constipation, diarrhea. During the summer polio sea son, fever in combination with any of the others is justifica tion enough for calling a doc ton If there also is sore throat or stiff ,neck or back, walk fast when you walk to the phone. When it comes to deciding whether a slight illness is the beginning of a pelio case, doc tors divide the polio possibil ities into three categories abortive, non-paralytic, and paralytic. There isn't much doubt about the full-blown paralytic case for very long. These cases proceed quickly into paralysis which may be temporary. But there may be much doubt about abor tive and non-paralytic cases. Vague Symptoms The truth is that the first signs may' be almost anything. The ill person doesn't feel well. The symptoms are vague; a doctor can't say positively what it is which, produces fever and "general malaise." 1 The patient seems to get well. But four to seven days later, he is hit again and this second time the central nervous system may be involved with the dan ger of permanent paralysis. Usually this does not happen in abortive or . non-paralytic cases, but it can. This is why any; vague illness during the polio season should be looked at and watched by a skilled and knowing person. The chances are that polio is not the cause. But when there are quite a few polio cases in the community,' . these chances are lessened. The summer polio season has already started , in the Deep South and is moving northward. ' s Polio specialists estimate that up to 90 per- cent of all polio illnesses are abortive.

Poliophobia is the illness of a person who if so afraid of polio, fear alone makes him ill. In extreme cases, there may even be paralysis, along with fever and other symtoms.
