HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WuiruKt 18. 1948 PAGE SIX T OHY FARM T STARTED HERE Organization of "Victory Farm Volunteers" made up of ' ichool children under 18 who will assist in farm work this fall has been started in Klamath county as a result of a visit by Russell M. Adams, assistant state supervisor of emergency farm employment. Lloyd Seeley has been named county labor assistant, in charge of the organization of children of both city and county schools into working corps. Under this plan, working platoons will be made up of children with adult leaders for each. Adams said that the adult leadership is the key to the suc cess of the whole program, as proved in experiments else where over the state this year. The adult leader supervises the youngsters, and.the farmer deals with the adult rather than the children. Adult leaders here will be carefully selected. Adams said 110 platoons of children have done farm work In the state this year and in a number of cases have saved crops that otherwise would have gone unharvested. A six-hour work day, he said, has proved best for the young sters. In Lake county, he said, SO or 35 pound potato sacks will be used by children picking po tatoes, instead of the larger sacks. It has been suggested that no children under 13 should un dertake to pick potatoes. The Victory Farm Volunteers are a part of the crop corps. Other units include the women's land army, and the men's crop corps. CAMPAIGN DANCE BLY Saturday night, Aug ust 14 there was a Bond Drive dance in the Northfork Com munity hall.

So a few words regarding eyinu- toms, mode ot spread, and pre vention are In order. Everyone nas a norror ot this disease be cause one connects It with chll. dren, and also of the crippling It frequently loaves In Its wake. Certain states at present are ex periencing rathor severe epidem ics; namely, Texas, Oklahoma, and California. In Oregon there have been reported several cases from Marlon and Multnomah counties, and one case or more from Benton, Lane, Deschutes, and Polk counties. We have to date one case In Klamath coun ty. Infantile paralysis Is due to a virus. Just how It spreads we do not know too much about as yet. However, some things about its spread seem fairly certain due to Investigations made In re cent epidemics. The virus was found in the body excretions of patients sick with the disease. Also, it was discovered that files trapped in the vicinity and homes of these patients were loaded with virus. So, like ty phoid fever, It seems the sani tation angle Is Important In the control o( infantile paralysis. So my suggestion is to wage an all-out war on flies, clean up refuse and garbage and other conditions facilitating the breed ing of flics. Don't forget the outdoor toilet. Make It as fly tight as possible. Preferably put a spring, if one Is available, or fasten a rope with a weight on its end and pulley arrange ment to the door so it will re main closed. Effluents from cess-pools and septic tanks should not drain into open ditches and that Includes Irriga tion and drain ditches. This ef fluent Is by no means stortle contrary to the belief of mony people that septic tanks sterilize sewage. They merely remove the solids, and the fluid parts should seep into the ground by means of tile fields In the ground. Be sure your food Is protect ed from files. There is a possibility that In fantile paralysis, or anterior poli omyelitis, may be spread from nose and throat secretions so avoid crowds as much as pos sible. Especially should this bo true for children. If your child has a cold or does not feel well, keep him separated from other children. Susceptibility to the disease Is not too great. How ever, there are many more cases present than are reported duo u the fact that only those defi nitely diagnosed as such are those who have developed tho paralysis with it. Many peoplo are immunized against the dis ease because they have had a light form with no purulysi. Ono novor knows who will develop tho paralysis, so during this time of year the above precautions should be taken. The season for Infantile par alysis Is during tha latter part of summer and early fall. It usually reaches Its peak during early September and then grad ually subsides. The incubation has not been determined definitely, but Is thought to be less than 18 days. Just how long It Is Infectious Is also not definite however, It is most infectious during the early period of the dlseaso and up to the time acute symptoms sub side. However, investigations have shown the virus to be pre sent for a considerable time in the body discharges, including nose and throat discharges. The symptoms Include the following: fever, nausea and vomiting, headache, stiff neck and back and tenderness of the muscles, especially ot the extremities. In from three to five days after on set, paralysis develops If It tsj fioing to develop, and this usual, y reaches its maximum within a period of two days. The acuta symptoms such as fever, vomit ing, etc, subside usually within a period ot seven or eight days. The degree of paralysis varies considerably. Our suggestions In prevenll are as follows: Keep child!'." away from crowds; avoid expos ure to colds and chilling; avoid iivur-iatigue; eat a nourishing diet; get plenty of rest. Be alert to early signs of lllnoss or changes from tha normal, especi ally In children. A stomach up set or signs of a cold may ba ear. ly symptoms of polio, All chil dren and adults sick with unex plained fever should bit put to bed and Isolated pending medical diagnosis. Improve the sanita tion about your homo and wage war on flics. Attempts to slop the spread of the virus by clos ing schools, churches, movies, swimming pools, etc, have been unsuccessful, It results In a great disturbance to community life, and ordinarily Is not worth, while. To date nothing Is available such as a serum or vaccine Jr prevent Infantile ptrnljO many things have been tried, but nothing is of proven benefit. 1942 SALT PRODUCTION In 1942 production of salt In the United States totaled 27 bil lion pounds 20 per cent being used for food seasoning and 80 per cent for Industrial purposes.
