Ore.. Pcpt. 24 (lTP Action calling for the nunrantlnft of all persons entering Bend from K la in u 1 h Kulla as a safeguard against the spread of intantilf -paralysis and splaul meningitis there, waa taken by thetity council In special session here thla nflern-on. ' Guards were placed on The Pallex-Callfornis high nt the south city limits of Uend, anl all auto mobile ore being stopped. Persons coming to Bend from Klamath FOalla and planning to live here will be placed under auarantine for a period of two weeks. All south approa-bes to the city will be guarded, and . a close check will be made on all arrival over other roads. ' Lumber camps soulh of Rend are to assist In guarding against the spread of the disease, and nn ' one will be permitted to enter the campa from Klumath Falls unless the quarantine ruling baa been observed, . -r Don't' the good people of Bend realize that the imagination paints more horrors than the world ever knew? i Don't they realize that infantile paralysis has only shown up in a few crises of illness in Klam ath county I ' Don't they know that infantile paralysis is liable to happen to any community; that it is re--corded by many able physicians as a "jumping disease"-!iable to strike in any locality Don't they also know that deadly fear is the worst enemy of mankind, and the dread they are placing in the minds of their people 'only offers fallow round for that disease, or some other, to take hold ' .''"- Whoever is in charge of affairs at Bend is showing poor leadership by throwing such a' scare into the public. This talk of "staying out of Klamath Falls' has grown beyond the endurance period, for there-is nothing in Klamath Falls to keep anyone aut, and there never has been a condition that warranted any such statements. The community was unfortunate in getting in the Portland Oregonian and a number of other newspapers by the spectacular talk of closing the county fair and public places. It at once grew to tremendous proportions,, -and nil-the state hreV & til relative to Klaitiath Falls' diseased condition. At the same time in fantile paralysis was recorded in forty-two olher states of the nation by the government health bureau.. It had been hitting up and down this coast in its usual jumping manner. Very eminent physicians state that there is no use raining from the disease, for it is its his tory that when it comes, it just comes. Be that as if may, there "was no occasion for all this spot light talk about Klamah Falls being steeped in disease, and the urge to keep people out of the city was entirely uncalled for. Our people sincerely hope that not a single case will show up in Bend, for "it is a frightful thing, but should there be cases in Bend it would be unfair to credit the cause of them to Klamath county. . Right now the city of Medford has several cases, according to reports, and schools are closed. This city sympathizes with the neigh boring city, but if they will trace their local cases they' will at once understand that Klamath Falls is not responsible. They also will find that infantile paralysis just comes. It all reminds us very much of the time when we were all wearing masks for the flu. There had not been a steamboat intq Nome, Alaska, for several months, yet the people of Nome had the flu, and many died from its effects. Klamath Falls has been the butt of newspa per publicity and word-of-mouth gossip relative to diseases long enough. The worm is abut to turn.
