BAN LIFTED.
INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
PICTURES FOR CHILDREN
Denied the [Measure of entering Auckland city and smburban picture theatres for nearly six weeks children under twelve were admitted to the theatres for the first time to-day when the Health Department's ban as a major precaution against the spread of infantile paralysis was lifted.
It was realised by the Health Department when the I win was imposed that considerable financial loss would be suffered by the th«atre owners, and officials were keenly appreciative of the prompt action of thei theatre managements in refusing admission to children.
A suspected case of infantile paralysis, a member otf the permanent staff at Narrow Neck barracks, was admitted to the Auckland Hospital last night, but it is expected that the case will turn out to be negative. The man, who is 24 years of age, is said to be suffering from another disease, which is not infectious, and he ha« been sent to hospital purely as a precautionary measure.
