. . 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. She has mailed
tbem to WCTU organizations
' throughout the country, and
tf V&s on sending the latest issue
'z toxne convention at Long Beach,
r; 'j Calif., "in August. Copies were
1 1 Wnt to the meeting at Lexing
. ' tan,' Ky., last year. ,
j if Response from this unusual
t rJublicity effort has brought in
i quiries from churches and fami
: Bes affiliated with the WCTU,
t Concerning how they might help
in her. work at Camp "White, as
! member of the Legion auxili-
iry. "' .
:Z Minnie Bryant knew what was
4 Deeded most, and what could be
..' supplied by the women on her
i. mailing list. She told them to
i iend lap robes, table . covers,
; 1 'laundry bags, Christmas and
' ; other greeting cards, and they
have been arriving by the hun-
dreds from California and Ore
! gon, Washington, Idaho and Mon

News and Notes
From Camp White
a continuing count is kept to
ascertain the number of child
ren, of school age in the family
of new arrivals.
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.

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. Indeed,

should be observed most rigidly
during polio seasons.
' Sudden chilling is bad. . So is
violent exercise by persons un
accustomed . to it, or anything
which brings about inordinate
fatigue. These things 'have been

polio specialists said. They warn
against "poliophobia" as Well as
against polio. 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.

is being powered , by hysterica
fear, can do to its body. .::
