Why is polio spreading a a researchers have two theories by Doug Pollard fourth of a series if children were not brought u p n a relatively sterile environment they might All develop polio immunity. This theory has been set Forth by several research doctors and May partly explain Why polio has reached epidemic proportions on this continent Only within the past 50 years. Although polio is As old As his tory the first epidemic did t appear until 1887 in Sweden and the first Large epidemic on this continent did t show up until 1907 08 when cases were reported in new York City. And Britain had no Large epidemics until 1948 though sporadic cases had probably been increasing in number for Many years. Guarded As infants it seems quite possible then say Manitoba research doctors that these epidemics have begun in the past 50 years because children have been protected in their infancy from Contact with the polio virus and thereby get no Chance to develop immunity. When the children get older and come into Contact with the polio virus they Are an easy prey. This theory they say is supported by knowledge that in certain primitive tribes where epidemic Jolio is unknown antibodies sub stances tending to neutralize harm Ful ones Are found in the blood and tissue fluids of 50 per cent of children before they Are two years old. Furthermore these antibodies have been found to appear earlier in City children living in poorer districts where they would More Likely be exposed to the virus. And another supporting fact say the doctors is that polio is increasingly attacking older children which suggests that Young people free press meetings three groups Are slated to hold meetings wednesday in the free press building. They Are Board room 1, seven Oaks chapter of the . At 8 j5.m. Board room 2, ladies auxiliary to Job s daughters Bethal 1, at 2 . And in the club room British wives club at 8 . W. Winnieg rotary West Winnipeg rotary club will meet at 12.15 thursday at the Winnipeg flying club. H. C. Barker purchasing agent of Parkhill bed Ding will speak on what the fur chasing agent expects from the Are escaping the extremely mild infection in Babyhood that might make them immune to later and More severe attacks. Perhaps they say modern Man May be sacrificing his on the altar of the other possible cause of epidemics is that the polio virus May be getting More this seems possible they say because the polio virus reproduces itself in a matter of minutes and can change radically within getting stronger and thereby Over coming the resistance of those per sons whose blood contains Only a few weak antibodies. Whether polio epidemics have resulted from a or the lowered resistance of protected children or both they have now become headline news. Den Mark the United states and can Ada this year have had the worst outbreaks in their history. Vaccine sought research men in laboratories All Over the world Are working count less hours to ensure that the shorty history of polio epidemics soon be brought to an abrupt end 5 with the discovery of a successful to vaccine. The protected child now seemingly a prey to polio virus will then be truly protected ;
