parison, it has found that only 55%1
of the Baltimore school age children
are susceptible or liable to develop the
disease. Practically 1907 of the pre-
school age children are susceptible to
diphtheria.
The study shows that 50E' of the
deaths from diphtheria in the County
have occurred in the pre-school age
group and 34f, amongst the school
age children.
1t is definite knowledge amongst
public health authorities that quar-
antine and isolation fails to prevent
or control the disease, that such de-

COUNTY HEALTH
OFFICER ADVISES
OF DIPHTHERIA
Claims This Communicable Dl-
sease Can BE Prevented
By Scientific Treatment
GIVES REPORT AS TO
CONDITIONS IN COUNTY

DR.. Massey, the County Health Off
GER states that he believes parents
should know some of the basic facts
relative to the communicable diseases,
so that such parents may be able to
intelligently do their part in help
ing their children live through the
age of childhood.
1t is perfectly true that certain
of the communicable diseases such as
whooping cough and measles are as
vet uncomfortable, however, FORUM
ately the most deadly, smallpox, ty-
phoid and diphtheria are definitely
comfortable and preventable.
Diphtheria is communicable di-
sease which is perfectly preventable,
however, the prevention depends upon
the health authorities and Newspaper
men placing the facts before the pub
lie and the public having the intelli-
gence to absorb the facts presented.
Although diphtheria is perfectly pre-
ventable, during 1929 there were
1856 deaths from diphtheria in the
registration area in the United States.
Diphtheria killed 80 Worcester Co.,
children in the period Of 1913-1932
and it is estimated that about one
thousand were i'll with the disease
during the same period but survived.
1t is estimated that this number OF
deaths and cases of diphtheria cost the
citizens of Worcester County an econ
omic loss Of $165, 100000, which fig
ures do not include the fees of ply
sicians and nurses.
A Health Officer is physician who
is required to have special training in
the prevention Of diseases, he must
through administrative measures and
education produce results which show
a definite economic saving to justify
the investment Of public funds re-
CURED to carry on his office.
A study of the diphtheria situation
shows the number of deaths and an
estimate of the cases as above men,
toned. The result of Schick tests on
several thousand Worcester children
of school age show high percentage
of those who have never been immun-
lied are susceptible to the disease
500 to be exact. By way of COM
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1934-06-29

school children being susceptible to
the disease, 3,1O3, or 1870 of the
children attending the schools worked
in are now either immune to diph-
liberia, or are in the process Of form
ing such immunity.
At the same time, only about two
hundred parents in the whole County
have had their preschool age children
immunized. This means that when a
wave of infection comes along that
there will still be many deaths a.
mongst the children from six months
to six years of age.
Diphthcria immuniZation with Tox-
old is Of little or no value in the face
Of an epidemic, as immunity does not
result until several months after Tox-
old is given.
These are plain facts which every
parent who is interested in their
child's welfare should know.
Suggestions from individual citi-
zns or organizations on ways and
means of increasing the numbe ro1
immunization of the pre-chool age
child will be accepted and considered
by the County Health Officer.

the practitioner of all children as
they reach six months of age.
During the past several years, the
County Health Departments activity
for the control of diphtheria has con-
sisted of holding Toxoid clinics for
the school age group and endeavoring
to educate the parents to take the
pre- school age child, preferably at
six months Of age to the practicing
physician.
The following report per school in
Worcester County shows the extent
Of success the County Health Depart
ment has had in immunizing the
school age child against diphtheria
with Toxoid. 1t shows that at the
present time, instead of 500 of the

POLICE HOLD TO
SUICIDE THEORY
Remain Convinced That
Coast Beauty Ended Life
in Empty Garage.
By United Press

By OntteG Press
SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 1.-Po-
lice remained convinced today, after
a recheck of the evidence, that
Virginia Johnson committed sui
eide.
Charges made by her father,
State Treasurer Charles G.. John
son, that the authorities closed their
case permaturely, were answered
with a statement alleging that the
Johnson family was concealing i'm
portant data to make it appear the
22-year-old debutante was MUIR
dered.
Lloyd Buchler, assistant district
attorney, sought additional state
ments from two male friends of the
girl. James K. Cogswell, San Fran
cisco, told Buchler that Virginia had
been moody for the last year. Rob-
ert w. Meckfessel, another friend,
was to be requestioned.
The assistant district attorney ex-
planned the youths were not being
questioned as suspects but merely to
add to the background of the case.
The johnson family, meanwhile,
awaited a report from DR.. E. O..
Heinrich, Berkeley criminologist, who
made an independent investigation
at their request. The girl was found
burned to death in an empty garage
this week.
