Health Officers
Urges Watch For
Polio Symptoms
Austin, Texas. July 18—"Infantile
paralysis can be expected to occur
more frequently during the next three
months," declared Dr. Geo. \V. ( ox,
State Health Officer. "This disease
is always more frequent during the
hot months.
"The germ responsible for infan-
tile paralysis is so small that it es-
cape.- detection even with the most
powerful microscopes. The first
symptoms are usually vomiting,
headache, fever, stiffness of the neck,
pain in the leg. irritability and
drowsiness. Complete recovery may
follow such an illness; but in more
severe cases, the germ penetrates
the nervous system, resulting in par-
alysis of nerves controlling one, or
more, groups of muscles. Some re-
markable recoveries have been noted.
"Flies, or other insects, while un-
der suspicion, have not been demon-
strated to play a part in the spread
of this disease. Infection spreads
from person to person with the
droplets attending coughing and
sneezing. Children and grown peo-
ple that are healthy may be carriers
of the germ. When present in epi-
demic form, about one child in each
hundred is apt to suffer an attack.
Early recognition and diagnosis are
essential. The use of immune serum
may be a factor in preventing pa-
ralysis. A period of complete rest
is essential for muscles that are af-
fected. If parents note any symp-
toms of illness in their children, the
family doctor should be consulted at
once."

TIC Requires only one or two days
each month—AND—something in
which all of you are interested.
Both men and women wanted and
needed. Please get in touch with
the Price Clerk at the local office.
Coupons issued for second-period
allotments of canning and preserving [
sugar will be mailed b> the local War
Price and Rationing Board, which is
now receiving and granting second-
period allotments because of ripe
fruit which needs attention.
It is necessary to check the ap-
plicant's written statement regarding
the use of sugar allotted on the
first-period application. Therefore,
no coupons for the second period will
be handled "over the counter."
The Office of Price Administration
recently established two periods for
making application for extra sugar
to be used in home canning and [ire-
serving. A maximum of ten pounds
per person, for every ration-book
holder, is issued in one period. The
second period does not start until
August 1, but because peaches,
plums, and figs are ripe now and
must be preserved, application can
again be made for a maximum of
| ten pounds per person.
i The second application period ex-
tends through February, 1045. This
1 also is the "deadline" for using
