Robert Mab butt of the California National Guard said the fresh troops would come from Willows. Nevada City, Oroville and Sacramento. The flood workers faced another tusk as residents returned to de serted. Yuba City. The water up. ply has become contaminated wl'h the sludge of the floods and mear cal atithorities preoared to innoc- iilftle for typhoid. All water had to be boiled or purified by chemicals. The muddy waters beian rising at the rate of three Inches an hour during the night, Finally they overflowed the gap 'at Gumtree. broken during last Satnrdav s flood when 10,000 persons fled for their lives. The waters filled half of the stricken town before they began to. recede. In the southeast section, they rose to nearly three feet. Flood officials expected them to go no higher. Actually, there was Utile further harm the flood waters could do. Where they were deepest was al ready an area of destruction, with some houses crumbled Inlo pieces and debris piled mtalnst trees and crooked street signs. One house, for example, was perched at a crazy angle on a rail road track and another sat square ly In the middle of the street. 'The worst effect of the new flooding was the delay it csuscd In the grim work of searching through the ruined houses and the debris for those who failed to es cape Inst Saturday's wall of wa ter. There may be as many as 100 victims, officials said. It also kept the city's residents from returning to salvage what they could from the ooze that cov ered what once was their homes. Armed guards patrolled the streets, imposing a dusk to dawn curfew to prevent looting. Anyone In the city had to show a pass. Hie Army Engineer's office at Marysvllle. across the river from Yuba City, reported to Stanley Plerson, state director of civil defense, that the new crest "will no doubt cover most of the ter ritory that was covered in the last breakthrough." "The depth of the water has not been determined, but no doubt it will be adequate to undo any good that the people might be doing In cleaning up now," the engineers office reported. Repair. crews foiled throughout Hie night In an attempt to repair t lie yawning gap in the 33-foot levee but the Army Engineers admitted Ihey had "no hope" of fixing lt bo fore daybreak.

CALHOUN'S YEAR OF MM MARBELIZEP EMBOSSED CALIFORNIA ORIGINAL FOR'EXAMPLE: YOU CAN BUY A REG. $24.00 PIECE OF LINOLEUM FOR $12 LINOLEUM TILE THE LARGEST STOCK OF QUAvlTY 1ST EAST MAIN STREET Invasion Of Polio Virus Explained By Salk Expert (Editor's note: This is the first of a series of five articles on what parent should know about the Salk polio vaccine. Under Dr. Van Rlp er's direction the National Foun dation sponsored the research de velopment of the vaccine and he is in charge of the foundation's pro gram for vaccinating children in the first and second grades of school. The March of Dimes Drive in Klamath County kicks off on January 3.) You have had polio. Unless you are one of those ex ceedingly rare adults who are sus ceptible to polio paralysis but who, purely bv chance, have gone through childhood without being in fectedyou certainly have had po lio. The virus has invaded your system but was out-maneuvered before it caused any lasting dam age. Chances are. moreover, that you have had polio more than once. Your doctor hopes so, at least. He also hopes that the same thing has happened to your children. Shocked? You shouldn't be. If you are like the great majority of people, what you had was non paralytic polio: and if the virus was introduced to you without the accompaniment of major aches and pains, you had the form of non paralytic polio known as a "silent infection." When the doctor hopes your chil dren have been safely through a series of silent infections real po lio, mind you, but without illness and without paralysis he is wish ing all the best for them, for this means they are protected natural ly against the paralyzing power of at least one of the three types of polio virus and possibly against all. A polio infection is not some thing that happens only to a few thousand Individuals each year, leaving them paralyzed. It happens to almost all of us, leaving in most cases no disability whatever, and usually without even making us ill an infection that sooner or later reaches nearly as many people as the common cold. This for the parent seeking a bet ter understanding of the vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas E. Salk with March of Dimes support, is Vital Fact Number One. It is im portant to remember that in time of polio epidemic for every per son who comes down with the dis ease there may be a hundred or more In the same community whe are carrying the virus. What does "getting polio" is the sense used here, mean? Why, if almost everybody gets it, doesn't everybody come down with symp toms, even go to the hospital end possibly come out crippled? When the polio virus entered your system, to establish even tempor ary residence It had to find a cell in which It could live and repro duce. But en route, it had to travel, very briefly, in your blood stream. Had lt not been successfully chal- UJ A NT IFF if lensed in your blood, within a mat ter of hours It would have found Its way to a nerve center with Its paralyzing power intact. But what happened was this: Small particles in your blood, known as antibodies, met the polio virus in your blood stream, "ran interference" for you and destroyed the power of the virus to paralyze. Most human beings have antibod ies and also are able to produce more of them when necessary. More are needed when there is a virus Invasion of your body. Thus the presence of virus triggers the making of antibodies. Non-paralytic polio does this, whether lt makes you sick enough to go to the hospital as occasion ally happens or remains a silent Infection. If the system does not "trigger" that Is, If it lacks the ability to create antibodies rapid ly enough, paralytic polio may re sult. The Salk vaccination is not an infection. It introduces nothing Into the human body that can do it any harm. What it does accom plish Is to provide for those who need It extra help In creating anti bodies. How lt does this will be the sub iect of tomorrow's article.
