Medina County's polio count for the summer rose to 34 over the Fourth of July weekend, six new cases having been admitted to Akron Children's hospital. In addition the polio death county for the Medina-Wayne county area rose to four with the death in Children's last Saturday morning of Fred W. Phillips, 39, whose two sons are recovering from the same disease in the Akron hosptial. According to County Health Commissioner Earl E. Kleinschmidt, all four deaths have resulted from the serious bulbar type of polio, and in all four cases physical exhaustion was closely connected with the disease onset. On this connection, the commissioner urges all persons who feel unwell "to take it easy" until they feel better, avoiding all types of strenuouis activity. He also stressed the fact that all persons who have come in contact with others recently come down with polio should lead a quiet life during the normal 10 to 14 d! ay polio incubation period. Two of the new cases are from Medina, the first in this community during the current outbreak. Admitted to Children's hospital Saturday was Claudia Schamp, three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralp Schamp, 249 Elmwood street. Admitted on Sunday was Thomas Wolfe, five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Orlin Wolfe, 450 Lafayette road. Three others new cases are all in one family, they are John 6, Matthew 1 1/2 and Mark 3, children of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Crayford, who live on County Road 50 (Lake Road) a short distance east of the village of Chippewa Lake. John was taken to Children's hospital last Wednesday and his two brothers entered the same institution on Sunday. The sixth new case is Larry 14 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E.Scott, 215 Medina street, Lodi. He was admitted to Children's last Friday. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
