Expect 100 Entries In Third Annua THE DAILY TIMES-GAZE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle OSHAWA WHITBY VOL. 8--NO. 169 'OSHAWA-WHITBY, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1949 PAGE THREE Only Few Cases Of Poliomyelitis Cause Paralysis With two cases of poliomyelitis, both of them fatal, reported in Osh- awa and East Whitby township this week, there is a general feeling of anxiety in the community over a possible spread of -this dread dis- ease. Local medical health authori-|. ties, however, see no cause for alarm in the fact that there have been two cases here. 'In East Whit- by, Dr. J. E. Rundle, Medical Health Officer, has made a survey of sep- tic tank conditions, and found only one such tank that could be con- sidered unsatisfactory, and steps have been taken to correct that con- dition. x In view of public interest in poliomyelitis at this time, and in order to allay public fears with ref- erence ot this disease, Dr. Rundle has handed to The Times-Gazecte a copy of a memorandum sent out to all medical health officers by Dr. J. T. Phair, Deputy Minister of Health for Ontario. This memor- andum gives the latest information on the disease, and also outlines the policy of the Ontario Department of Health in the handling of cases. It reads as follows: "During the past ten years, our knowledge of Poliomyelitis has beei greatly advanced through the nu- merous investigations carried out in the laboratory and the field. How- ever there are still many important gaps to be filled. Of all the report- able diseases, that causes more fear and appre- hension in any community than Poliomyelitis; probably due to the tendency in the past to emphasize the paralytic type of case. At the present time, we have good reason to believe that the paralytic type of case represents only a minor portion of the cases, and that many persons become resistant to the dis- ease without any indication of ill- ness whatsoever. With this thought in mind, a brief "analysis of the findings in Ontario is submitted for your information. "Within the past five years in Ontario, over two thousand cases of poliomyelitis have been reported. Cases have been reported from ev- ery district and county in the prov- ince in this period of years. Over ninety per cent of these cases have been admitted to hospital for treatment, and forty-five per cent showed evidence of paralysis or parasis. However, in a final analy- sis of the hospitalized cases only twelve per cent had residual paralysis of any degree, upon dis- charge from hospital, and less than five per cent of the cases were totally disabled. . "Experimental evidence has es- , tablished that there are differenc- es in the degrees of infectivity and severity of the known 'strains of poliomyelitis viruses. Consequent- ly, in assemblying the crippling ef- fects of poliomyelitis by years, these variants might be considered. It has been estimated that about ten persons per 100,000 of the popu- lation develop some degree of pa- ralysis. In a recent analysis of poliomyelitis cases reported in On- tario, the high for any one of the past five years was eight per 100,- 000, and the median rate for the stated period was four per 100,000 of the population. "During 1948, in Ontario, there were twenty-one deaths due to poliomyelitis, as compared with 740 deaths caused through motor vehicle accidents. In the 0-to- 14 age group, there were eleven poliomyelitis deaths reported, as compared with 112 deaths in the same age group attributed to motor vehicle accidents. "We wish to thank the medical officers of health for their Co-0p- eration during the past year. The for free hospitalization for polio paralysis cases, carried out during 1948 will sgain be in effect. Due, however, to the limitation of isolation accommodation, it has be- come desirable to keep under med- ical observation in the home any doubtful case of poliomyelitis, par- ticularly where demonstrable signs of involvement are not present. "Arrangements for hospitaliza- tion where no designated hospital is located, and hospitalization is desired, should be made with the Medical Officer of Health in the municipality in which the hos- pital is located, before transfer of the case. Payment for transporta- tion of patients to approved hos- pitals is the responsibility of the family or local municipality. Pay- ment for hospitalization by the De- partment for the treatment of poliomyelitis is limited to the hos- pials Hsien below: ndsor, Fred Adams Memor: Hospital; London, Victoria Hoty, tal; Heumilton, Hamilton General Hospital; Toronto, Toronto Gen- eral Hospital, Hospital for * Sick Children and Riverside Isolation Hopital; Kingston, Kingston Gen- eral Hospital; Ottawa, Ottawa Civic Hospital and its Communic- able Diseases Division.

C. Miller calmed down ! after Mayor J. Bruce Caldwell called for police to eject a member of the overflowing crowd. The session was called to hear charges made more than two weeks ago before council in committee by Hon. Mitchell F, Hepburn, former Premier of Ontario, as well as to hear replies by the: city engineer. Mr. Hepburn again charged that Mr. Miller turned a deaf ear when the former premier offered to sell gravel from his nearby Bannock- burn pit to the city for a price at much less than their contractors were paying an outside source, Mr. Hepburn criticized "Mr. Miller's lack of . co-operation and coid ! shoulder attitude." : He offered gravel at cost for use in building tlie new hospital in St. Thomas.
