The Medical
by
Typhoid Carriers
Some people want to know
if typhoid carriers are quaran
tined. No; I haven't heard of
their being
qua rantined,
but health au
thorities will
insist that
they must
never work as
a cook. A ty
phoid carrier
who works as
a cook is al-
dr. alvakez most criminal
because a number of the peo
ple for whom he prepares
food are likely to get typhoid
fever, and some may die of it.
Unfortunately, in many places
the health department author
ities are unable to restrain a
typhoid carrier as strictly as
they would like to.
I remember a friend of
mine, a professor of bacteriol
ogy, who once was asked to
go to a big construction camp
to find out why so many of
the workers were coming
down with typhoid fever. He
quickly found that the head
cook was a carrier, and had
him fired. A few weeks after
he got back to the university,
he got a telegram from anoth
er big construction camp, say
ing "Our men are coming
down with typhoid fever,
come and help us." All my
friend did was to telegraph
"What is the name of your
cook?" Sure enough, as he ex
pected, they had promptly

Germs Live for Years
In many of these cases the
typhoid germs have lived for
years in the person's gall
bladder, and then the remo
val of the gall bladder may
work a cure.
Every so often I read of a
severe epidemic of "food poi
soning" perhaps wtih fever,
diarrhea and great prostra
tion. This involved most of
the people who went to a big
church picnic. Practically al
ways what happened was that
a woman who was a carrier of
para-typhoid germs was asked
by the committee to prepare
a big dishpan full of spaghet
ti. She made it the night be
fore, at which time she got the
material infected from her
hands. By next noon, the
germs had grown and grown
until the spaghetti contained
billions of them.

Parks, Recreation
Department Sending
Out Party Pamphlets
The Medford parks and re
creation department is send
ing to all interested groups,
without charge, a pamphlet
entitled "Party Ideas for Spe
cial Days."
Robert Haworth, parks and
recreation director, said the
pamphlets are applicable to
all age groups, and contain
many kinds of party ideas,
from how to plan games to
how to prepare special party
foods.
The pamphlet is not an
original idea, Haworth said,
but is a service that many
parks and recreation depart
ments throughout the coun
try offer groups performing
volunteer recreational duties
in the communities.
The first edition of the pam
phlet, which the department
started mailing out Friday,
has 17 pages of party ideas
for Washington's and Lin
coln's birthdays, Valentine's
day and St. Patrick's day.
Five Other Pamphlets
Five other pamphlets deal
ing with, spring outdoor re
creation, summer vacations,
Halloween, Thanksgiving and
Christmas will be sent out at
the appropriate times of the
year, Haworth said.
Approximately 300 copies
of the first edition have been
printed and are being sent
to all recreational groups in
and around Medford which
request them.
Requests have already been
received from the Camp Fire
Girls, Boy Scouts and local
Granges, Haworth noted.
He said the department is
establishing a mailing list for
the books and asks that all
groups which might be inter

ested in having copies to con
tact him at the city hall.
Not all of the ideas found
in the pamphlet are original
with the Medford depart
ment, he said, as many of
them were obtained, with
permission, from other parks
and recreation departments
throughout the country.
All of the six editions of
the pamphlets will be distrib
uted this year, he pointed out,
with supplementary editions
being sent out in the ensuing
years to keep the pamphlets
up to date.

The Jackson County chap
ter of the Izaak Walton
League has sent a letter to
President Eisenhower encour
aging him to sign into law
House Bill 3610.
The bill would provide fed
eral matching funds for sew
age treatment plants and pol
lution control.
The letter, signed by Robert
A. Huff, chapter president,
sets forth the chapter's views
regarding the bill.
It states "reasonable men
must agree that like the age
of the last frontier, the age of
the open out house is past in
this country. We can no longer
use the streams of our nation
for pollution abatement and at
5)W
the same time pump water
from these same streams for
municipal and domestic use.
Yet this is the case in many of
our communities. Unless these
same communities are en
couraged to treat their sewage
before releasing it into
streams they will attempt to
live beside filth until serious
health problems arise."
