Dr. Langsam Gives
Talk On Polio Before
Rotary Luncheon
Following the Rotary Club
luncheon Thursday a very en
lightening talk concerning polio
was given by Dr. Fred Langsam.
Among his very pertinent re
marks, Dr. Langsam said that all
the present cases of this disease
locally have been light with little
or no paralysis, and that no evi
dence thus far would indicate
permanent damage.
In discussing the polio globulin
he mentioned that it is purely a
protective .substance and not the
germ itself which is innoculated.
He also reiterated that all chil
dren under 16 years of age should
be innoculated, and that this will
be done free of charge at the
hospital.
The gamma globulin serum is
available only in limited quanti
ties and therefore must be used
judiciously. The innoculation is
found to be an effective immuni
zation during an epidemic.
Dr. Langsam concluded by say
ing that the present practice is
not to cancel regular public gath
erings, inasmuch as the incidence
of infection has not appeared in
the past to be lowered by closing
schools, etc.

PAA CANCELS FLIGHT
Pan American Airways Friday
plane was cancelled out today due
to a combination of freezing driz
zle and the CAA range station
beam being off by several degrees.
One or the other' of the condi
tions probably would not have
sufficed to stop the flight, but
with the combination of the two
the company would not risk the
flight.
Any passengei's or freight will
come via Wien’s flight tomorrow,
weather permitting.
