Fear Is, a Deadly Enemy to Humanity
The most pronounced case of imaginary
trouble comca from the city of Bend in the fol
lowing dUpatch: ; 1
' nrXI). 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.
