Tabiona Child In Iron Lung Reported Fair Niel Hamilton of Tabiona, old victim of infantile paralysis, is fighting for his life in an iron lung at the Salt Lake General hospital where he was placed Tuesday. Not far away in te same hospital, little old Donad Birch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Birch of Utahn, lies afflicted with the same dread disease. The paraiy.sis has not affected Donald's respiratory organs so an iron lung is not needed in his case. Two other children of the Birch family have also been stricken, but ate recovering at thcir home, Dr. F. L. Murray said Wednesday. Both Donald and Niel were reported fair Wednesday. Niel is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ike Hamilton of Tabiona. Mr. Hamilton is at the hospital with his son and Mrs. Hamilton .has returned home to take care of her little daughter. Keep Children In School There is no cause for alarm among school parents, Superintendent W. J. Bond said Wednesday, as none of the victims was attending school when the first symptoms were noted. All well children should be kept in school, he continued, in fact, the state board of health advises it. Duchesne county has efficient nurses, representatives of the state board of health, who are on the Job every minute and with the cooperation of the teachers are keeping close watch over the school children. Call Physician It is far better, health authorities agree, for well children to be in school where medical supervision can be had, than for them to be kept at home or allowed to run about on the streets. Parents are urged to watch their children closely and to put them to bed at the first sign of illness. If improvement is not noted, the'fam-il- y physician should be called. Homes are being quarantined, Mr. Bond said, where there is a suspicion of the disease and there is no reason to believe the malady 10-ye- ar ar will spread. to Mrs. Hamilton, According Niel was kept home last FYiday to take care of his baby sister, and was perfectly well. He did not complain until evening when he said he had a headache. He grew worse until Tuesday, when his parents took him to Salt Lake City. Donald had been kept out of school since a tonsilectomy in Price several weeks before he was stricken wdth infantile paralysis. Former Duchesne Man Escapes From Burning Hotel Frank Conner, former Duchesne resident, had a narrow escape recently, when the hotel at Nederland, near Denver, in which he was staying with a friend, caught fire and was burned to the ground, the guests, Including Mr. Connor, escaping with only a few clothes. The news came in a letter to Mrs, A. J. Feller from FYanks mother, Mrs. Mary Connor, also a former resident. The letter re- -' lates the incident as follows: . . . . They were awakened at 5:30 a. m. by the cry of Get up, the hotel is on fire! FYank was but had a time to awakened, awaken Sterling who is a very sound sleeper Their room rapso they idly filled with smoke could not see the electric light. They kicked out the screen and a ladder was put up to thir window which they climbed down. FYank lost his watch, money, shirt, sweater and coat of his suit, also his glasses, managed to get on his trousers and shoes. Sterling lost everything he had as he was living at the hotel. The building was burned to the ground." The letter states that the tw o boys were taken home by a woman teacher with whom they were acquainted. She had time to think of their trouble even though that same afternoon she attended the funeral of her own twenty-fiv- e year old son. .... |
