This Month in History: in late August, 1946, the School Board decided to delay the opening of school by one week as a safeguard against Polio. Earlier that month, the wading pool at Reed Park closed for the summer due to lack of customers. Parents were keeping their children away due to the fear of Polio. At the time, August 3, no reported cases of Polio occurred in Creek County. However, a six year old died of Polio by the end of August. (Sapulpa Herald, August 3, 29, 30, 1946)
