WHY THE SILENCE?
Sir. —The infantile paralysis is apparently spreading over an extended area. The approach of colder weather has . not abated it. Closing or re-opening of schools has had little, if any, effect. . According to the Minister for Health, Miss M. Howard, the position "is disturbing" and the Health Department is "keeping a close watch on the incidence of Ihe disease." How illuminating (o a disturbed public! Apparently the disease is just being allowed to drift along. In the six months it has been moving through the country no discoveries’ have apparently been made by (he health authorities on a survey of aeos areas or preventitive precautions. Why the great silence, and nn advice, no information? — GLOAMING.
