If a Life Can be Saved
(MilTOItML)
Every man and woman in thin city would gladly
suspend all buhineHH activity for any period if by ho
doing a dingle life could be saved, or if a dear little
child could be naved from infantile paralysis with
iU human wrecking aftermath . even though death
does not follow.
Ix't thin be thoroughly understood, for everyone
in this city feels profoundly the gravity of the preii- .
ent situation.
l!ut there is little uc to become hysterical and
there is positively no use in making matters worse
than they are. We are told that infantile paralysis
is a summer disease, that with the cool days and
nights it disappears. We are having the cool weath
er and all who are closely watching the situation
believe it will Boon be' over. Let us inwardly pray
that such is true.
As for closing a city the size of Klamath Falls,
such a thing is impossible to do. We may suspend
business, we may cease to have any public gather
ings, but even then we will experience just what
other cities have experienced namely, failure in a
very large degree to close the community.
The seemingly possible and correct thing to do
is to keep children from public gatherings, keep
them out of the business section if possible, and urge
them, to stay in the open air. This is following the
plain intent of the recommendation of the State
Hoard -of Health and let us each and everyone ap
point ourselves. as a committee to see that this is
done. ' "
It would be folly to plunge this city into a panic
relative to complete closing when the children can
and will be looked after. Then, why should we not
proceed with saneness and even balance to the end
that the children the dearest part of.this commun
ity shall have the surveillance and protection which
the adults of this-city can give.
