Some of the stories were of the most grotesque character, as in the case of a fond mother in one section of the citv who sent her boy to school for his books because six of the pupils of i-ma pew uv-uicu jiisuLuiiun naa cuea irom meningitis and "0 publicity had been given in anv instance. As a mat ter of fact not a single student from this school had the uisease ana mere naa Deen no deaths among the children attending it. Most of the stories that have reached this paper have been predicated upon the statement of a doctor. Some of these doctors have stated that the newspapers have ueen suppressing me news ana were not giving proper publicity to a serious situation. Now we are going to nail that lie and nail it so that every reader of The Evening Herald will know the real facts and can govern ihiumju accoruingiy. There have been nine cases of meningitis reported to the county health department. The following list shows ine name oi me patient, the date upon which the case was reportea, now it terminated and the situation to date Name J. H. Donnell Norman Burk H. C. Killian Mona B. qdy Boy Hau.kms Jack C. Haney Bill O'Day "Luther Stiles Lea M.

This list shows nine cases. We know that two of these cases neve had meningitis. There is a serious ques tion about two others no report has been received from the state board of health about them and the symptoms do not indicate that they had meningitis. When this disease first made it appearance, The Evening Herald gave it the publicity its importance de served. For some unaccountable reason it created a str in the community out of all proportion to what con ditions justified. Rumors as senseless as the one about the six deaths spread throughout the county and the radio was brought into play to tell the coast that Klam ath Falls was in the throes of an epidemic of menin gitis. At this point we learned of reported cases that were surrounded by very doubtful symptoms and further in vestigation revealed the fact that practices of a question able ethical character were being followed by some of the ineaicai proiession. When we were convinced that it was a genuine case of meningitis, we published it. But we had to be shown. If all cases reported to us had been meningitis'the number would have far exceeded the nine reported to the health department, two of which we know were not meningitis at all. Last year one physician had three cases of meningitis in his general practice. Fortunately he is a physician who recognized the serious responsibility imposed upon the doctor by his profession. There was no panic then, because he was not trying to profit by the terror that :.o qt'ickly spreads in a community when an epidemic is ilneatened. Like all real, conscientious doctors should do, he simply did his duty and' kept his name out of the papers. When you find a doctor standing on the street or vis iting the places of business in the city decrying the lack oi puncjiy aoout the meningitis "epidemic you will find a man of little practice, a man whose thought is iot, as it should be, upon the welfare of the community, the peace of mind of his patients and the building up a healthy public sentiment that has so much' to do with wauding off disease and aiding in the speedy recovery of those unforunate enough to be afflicted with any rickness. As to the publicity end of it, The Evening Herald will take care of that. If we believe that the occasion justi fied it, we would be in favor of an air tight quarantine, even though we were the only person in the county that believed In it. We are not governed by questions of expediency. It is not a question with us of dollars and cents or what this doctor or that business man may think or believe. We are concerned only with what we VIVIAN MAP: TKIIH i:(Ull:l Mr. and .Mr.'. It. W.

Our advice is to forget about this so-called men ingitis scare, for there is nothing to it. THANKS. We wish to thank those who have so generously re sponded to our suggestion that they pay their subscrip tion before the end of the year, so that we could start 1926 with a clean slate. The response has far exceeded our expectations and as a result we are prompted to sug gest to those "who have not paid up that they "step Qfl ic" and get under the wire before the New Year makes its oow.
