The auditor-ium was well filled with patrons and applause for the performance. The first part of the concert was given by the junior band, number-ing 62 boys and girls, and it was astonishing to hear what excellent harmony and rhythm the young musicians made.

FIVE POLIO PRECAUTIONS ARE LISTED FOR PARENTS I : Warning that the 1949 polio sea-son is "just around the corner," the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis today issued a list of pre-cautionary measures to be observed by those in charge of children during the epidemic danger period which usually runs wm from May through I f October, reaching its 4 during the hot, i 3 V,'i I f months. Kif. ihy't The five easy-to-fo- l- a3U ISm5 low health rules for children are: I 1. Avoid crowds and I places where close 'M"l"'"i contact with other persons is likely. 2. Avoid e caused by too active play or exercise, or ir-regular hours. 3. Avoid swimming in polluted water. Use only beaches or public pools declared safe by local health authorities. 4. Avoid sudden chilling. Remove wet shoes and clothing at once and keep extra blankets and heavier clothing handy for sudden weather changes. 5. Observe the golden rule of personal cleanliness. Keep food I tightly covered and safe from flies or other insects. Garbage should be tightly covered and, if other dis-posal facilities are lacking, it should be buried or burned. The National Foundation also listed the following symptoms of infantile paralysis: headache, nau-sea or upset stomach, muscle sore-ness or stiffness, and unexplained fever. Should polio strike in your family, call a doctor immediately. Early diagnosis and prompt treat-ment by qualified medical personnel often prevent serious crippling, the National Foundation pointed out. The organization emphasized that fear and anxiety should be held to a minimum. A calm, confi-dent attitude is conducive to health and recovery. Parents, it said, should remember that of all those stricken, 50 per cent or more re-cover completely, while another 25 per cent are left with only slight after effects. If polio is actually diagnosed, contact the chapter of the Nation-al Foundation for Infantile Paraly-sis serving your community. The chapter will pay that part of the cost of care and treatment which patient or family cannot meet.
