1,000 Rebelling Convicts
Returned to Cells After
Four Days of Rioting
SALEM, Ore., UP—The Oregon
prison—torn four days by strife,
riot and rebellion—is again quiet
today.
The last of the 1,000 rebelling
convicts, cowed by discomfort,
meagre food and little water, were
returned to their cells Monday
night.
They were taken in groups of
20 from the prison recreation yard
where they have been held since
Saturday and locked up. Warden
Gladden said they were docile
and respectful now.
Work was to begin soon to re
pair the $100,000 damage wrought
by Saturday’s brief but intensive
rioting. And a private contractor
was to rush completion of a new
segregation cell block which the
convicts had been building.

Polio Pointers
Many persons have had polio in
so mild a form that they did not
recognize the disease, and more
than half those whose cases are
diagnosed as polio suffer no after
effects, according * to information
from the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis. However, both
the NFIP and physicians point out
that if there are polio cases in the
area it is sensible to observe a .
few precautions such as these:
Avoid crowds and new contacts
in trains, buses, boats or planes,
if possible.
Avoid crowded places where
you may be close to others.
Avoid over-fatigue, too active
play, late hours, worry. Irregular
living schedules may invite a more
serious form of the disease, should
it be contracted.
Avoid swimming in water that
is not approved for bathing by
your Health Department.
Avoid chilling. Take off wet
clothes and shoes at once. Keep
dry shoes, sweaters, blankets and
coats handy for sudden weather
changes.
Keep clean. Wash hands after
going to toilet and before eating.
Keep food covered and free from
flies and other insects Burn or
bury garbage not tightly covered.
Avoid using another’s pencil,
handkerchief, towel, utensil or
food touched by soiled hands.
Call your doctor at once if there
are symptoms of headache, nau
sea, upset stomach, muscle sore
ness or stiffness, or unexplained
fever.
Take the doctor’s advice if he
orders hospital care. Early diag
nosis and prompt treatment are
important and may prevent crip
pling after-effects of polio.
Allow children to play with
friends they have been with right
along. Keep them away from new
people, especially in the close
daily living of a home.
