The junior division led off and the boys did a fine job of riding the calves. The calf roping followed but few were able to catch their j wily prey. Bareback riding, bull riding and saddle bronc riding came in order, with some fine ex- - hibitions, and some where the an-- I imals thought it was arace. i Mrs. Mary Lou Nielson and M. C.

Delta Child Is Polio Patient In Salt Lake Brent Lynn Twltchell, th old son of Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Twitchell, of Delta, is a patient at the county hospital , pediatrics ward, in Salt Lake City, for treat-ment for polio. The little fellow was taken there Monday where his condition was termed as polio. He had been ill for several days, starting last Thursday, with a fev-er thought to be caused 'from cut-ting teeth. On the third day he couldn't sit up, as he seemed to have poor control of leg and arm muscles. At the hospital the parents were told that little boy seemed to be through the worst of the. attack, with the fever abating. Their re-port was encouraging, but the child will be in the ward at least two weeks, then may be moved to another hospital, and it may be a year before he is built up again. Mr. and Mrs. Twitchell were asked to confine themselves to their home for two weeks after their return Tuesday, as a pre-cautionary measure. Another polio case was reported this week from Millard county, when the old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Brunson of Fill-more, was admitted to the hospital Aug. 31. POLIO POINTERS Publication No. 31, from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, gives the following poin-ters for 1951, which W. J. Starley, local chapter chairman , feels should be brought to the attention of the public again at this time. IF POLIO COMES DO alow 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. DO wash hands carefully before eating and always after using the toilet - especially important when polio is around. Also keep food clean and covered. DO watch for signs of sickness, such as headache, fever, sore throat, upset stomach, sore mus-cles, stiff neck or back, extreme tiredness or nervousness, trouble in breathing or swallowing. DO put a sick person to bed at once, away from others, and call the doctor. Quick action may lessen crip-pling. DO telephone your local chapter of the National Foundation for In-fantile Paralysis, if you need help. Locate through telephone book or health department. No patient need go without care for lack of money. Your chapter will pay what you cannot afford. DO remember - - at least half of all polio patients get well without any crippling. DON'T get over-tire- d by hard play, exercise work or travel. This means men, women or children. DON'T get chilled. Don't bathe or swim long in cold water, or sit ar-ound in wet clothes. DON'T have mouth or throat op-erations during a polio outbreak. DON'T use another person's towels, dishes, tableware or the like. DON'T lake children to places where there is polio. Ask your health department. DON'T take your child out of camp or playground, where there is good health supervision. Mr. and Mrs. Gam Brown and two daughters, from Salt Lake City spent the week end in Delta with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Av-ery Bishop. Births This Veek..
