iitfc tatitji Dade County’s Only . VOLUME LI Byrd’s Chapel H. D. Club Held Picnic The Byrd’s Chapel H. D. Club Picnicers met with Mrs. Walter Simpson, August 14, with 13 members present. Mrs. Maude Brown, of Trenton, Mrs. Edith Mahan and children, of Pi- ney, and Mrs. Haley Dean, of Rising Fawn, were visitors. We omitted the business and enjoyed a social visit. We enjoyed a delicious lun¬ cheon on the beautiful lawn. Our honored guest was Mr. Simpson, the only man on the ground, but he w r as man enough to join us at lunch time and enjoyed it. And later in the af¬ ternoon he returned to share in the watermelon cutting, which we all enjoyed. After lunch Mrs. W. C. Cureton presented three silver spoons to the new babies in our Club, which the Club had bought. She also gave out poultry books Mrs. Sells had sent to us. Our good program chairman, Miss Ola Stewart, somehow al¬ ways knows what we enjoy. She gave a musical game and Mrs. Bernice Fischer won. We guessed how big around one of the largest trees were in the yard. Bernice and Mrs. Ellen Stewart, tied. It was 154 in. We then tried our luck on shooting. Out of 3 shoots each Mrs. Harrison McCormack hit the bull’s eye. The children really enjoyed that game. Eva Fischer took the prize for little girls and Bozo Payne for boys. Later in the afternoon Mrs. Hershell Dean, Mrs. Mabel Me Cauley called on Mrs. Simpson. We all enjoyed the day. Mrs. C. T.

Then Dade fans will have the opportunity to see the team really go into ac¬ tion. An even larger turn-out than last year is expected for the two games. Backing should be considerably stronger now that football has been initiated into the ranks of Dade sports. Basketball fans may have to watch games this year on an outdoor court. Since that game been the major sport in Dade County during the win- ter, a lot of sports enthusiasm will be missing this year along with the gym.

Bennett, director of physical medicine at Georgia’s Warm Springs Foundation, has pre¬ pared a short series of articles on poliomylitis for the Journal. Dr. Bennett is sailing Saturday for Copenhagen, Denmark, to attend the World Poliomylitis Congress. His first article fol¬ lows: By DR. ROBERT L. BENNETT How to avoid polio? It’s a question uppermost in the minds of worried parents as each polio season brings its quota of cases to neighbor¬ hoods all over the world. Fortunately a great deal has been learned about the disease in the past ten years since March of Dimes funds have made possible a concentrated research program. Today we know that: 1. There are at least three types of virus capable of caus¬ ing the human disease. 2. Evidence indicates that paralysis wasting of muscle, and deformities of bones and joints are due to damage of the nerve cells by the virus and not to direct effect of the virus on muscles, bones or joints. 3. The virus enters the body through the nose or mouth. 4. Person - to - person trans¬ mission is facilitated by close personal contact such as that which occurs in households. 5. The virus is found largely in the digestive canals of hu¬ man beings. It may be found in excreta from the throat and bowel of patients with the di¬ sease and also from many per¬ sons who seem perfectly well. 6. There are about a hun¬ dred of these persons to every one with an active case. AMONG THE large numbers of persons contracting polio but having no visible symptoms a certain immunity Is built up. However, there is a delicate balance between the host and the virus. To tip the balance in favor of the host these rules have been set down by Infantile Paralysis Foundation medical authorities in the light of present knowl¬ edge: 1. Don’t get over-tired. Tihs means men and women as well as children, even though most cases occur among children un¬ der 15. 2. Don’t get chilled. 3. Don’t have mouth or (Continued on last page)
