Diphtheria Disease
 Victims Much Lower
Last Year Only Six Out of 100000 Died Against 800
 Out of Same Number 50 Years Ago

New York, N, Y-Fifty years ago, 800 out of every 100000 children under 10 years of age in the New York city boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx died of diphtheria. Last year, only six out of 100000 were victims of the, disease. This, according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance com- pany, goes to show the progress against this disease that has been
 made during the last half century in the largest city of the country.
 In spite of this record, however, there still is room, for improvement in New York city, the statisticians declare, pointing to the situation in several sizable cities which did not report a single death from diph- theria among children of this age group in 1894.
 The tremendous reduction in diphtheria mortality has been brought about first by improved methods of treatment, and second by the development and widespread use of effective preventives. A half century ago, treatment was direct ed mainly toward disinfection, dis solving the pseudo-membrane, and supporting the strength of the sick child. Then, in 1895 came the first practical use, on a considerable scale of anti-toxin which had been discovered five years earlier by Behring. This reduced the diph- theria death rate B per cent in that one year, and by 1898 it had dropped to the then tlriheard of figure of 215 per 100000.
 The next forward step was the discovery of toxin anti-toxin, or neutralized anti-toxin, the practical use of which was enhanced by the development of the Schick test in 1913. These, together, made possi- ble the lasting immunization of children to diphtheria. By 1920, New York city health officials be- came so convinced of the effec- tiveneSs of this treatment that they decided to attempt the complete elimination of the disease through the immunization of all school chil- dren. This was followed in 1929 by the institution of an intensive in1munization campaign among children of pre-school age by the special diphtheria prevention com- mission. AS result, it was esti- mated in 1894 that about 45 per cent of all pre-school children had been immunized.
 That there still is room for inn provement in New York, however, is evidenced by the diphtheria rec ords of a number of other cities in this country" the statisticians comment. Certain of these have succeeded so well in their efforts to wipe out the disease that they were able to report in 1884 not a

keeping banks 1uncClOn1ng normal ly, keeping shops open, keeping railroad, bus and plane lines rum ming regularly in and out, inspect ing damaged buildings and pulling down those that are a menace, pro- viding temporary shelter and food, and amid all this continuing so far as possible the routine of daily life.
 Those who remain in Helena children who have been set away and it is mostly the women and temporarily you might call quake hardened" people.
 FEAR FOR LOVED ONES
 You feel somehow that you can take care of yourself, but your heart sinks sickeningly at the thought of loved ones, perhaps frantic and, hysterical, waiting out of your sight in homes that may cave in at any moment. So the lucky ones are the men whose fam flies have been sent away to safety.
 At first, when terrific shocks on Oct. IS caused such havoc, and re- peated heavy shocks on Oct. 31 completed a toll approaching $4,- 000, ,000, many suggested abandoning the town.
 But the more determined realized that @ city of 13,000. serving outside its limits perhaps another 5000, can not just fold up. The main down. town business buildings have been little hurt. But there are some chances that must be taken. Those who remain in Helena are taking them, grimly but uncomplainingly. LOOPING AT MINIMUM
 In the face of a common danger,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-08

Public gatherings of any kind, in churches, movies, and the like, are barred because of the increased peril in case of another severe shock.
 Many people whose homes are ruined are staying at the homes of friends who have been more fortu- nate. Many are living in special railroad cars brought into the yards here and kept heated and available to any who need shelter.
 Among those quartered in the cars are 100 orphans from the wrecked St. Joseph's orphanage. All were taken from the partially lev- eled building without injury.
 Despite the terrible property losses, the injuries, and nervous shock following in repeated tremors, only four persons actually have been violently killed by the quakes. Several others, the aged or these with weak hearts, have died of shock.
 In the last heavy shock, most of those killed and hurt were engaged in hazardous work, such as repair ing buildings from scaffolds or re- pairing high chi1nneys.
 FEAR BITTER COLD
 Today there is almost more fear of a prolonged spell of bitterly cold weather than of further earth quakes. While many are uncom- fortable, there is food and shelter for all. The Red Cross is feeding those with money in their pockets everyone who wants food, even who are too terrified to seek else where for meals.
 In recent days there has been an opening shock each morning at about 6. People learn to expect it, to wait f0r if RI1t racay,t tay,ohIo,.c

have done no worse than to shake down standing ruins.
 As the St. Johns operating rooms quivered from one of the numerous shocks, baby boy was born to MT. and Mrs. Walter Hallberg. A few hours later the building was aban- doned.
 Fifty trucks and 200 men under direction of James H. Rowe, person. ally representing President Roose- welt, have been hard at work tear ing down walls and removing ruins. Five thousand tons of debris have been removed by them.
 TELLS VIVIDLY OF SHOCKS
 Many of the shocks have come at night, when, beyond a shaking and shifting of the houses, nothing could be seen. But that of Oct. 18 was in daylight, and. one man driving his car south of the city at the time describes it as follows:
 My car shook strangely, and then dust rose straight from the earth, inpairing visibility for about two minutes"
 On noon of that day, those driv- ing cars reported that it felt as if the cars were travelling on a high wave. Trees bent first in one direc- tion and then in another. A lamp post appeared as though made of rubber, the way it swayed from side to side.
 The police station, a brand-new building, caved into the street dur ing one of the late shocks, the front dropping on a patrol car.
 Police headquarters, however, had already been moved to a vacant lot They then were moved into another building, only to be changed again when that was badly damaged.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-08

Nobody knows, of course, exactly how many tremors there have been I estimate them at about 800. Mo- body knows how many more there will be, though everyone hopes each will be the last.
 In the meantime what can you do? Nothing, except to help those you can; to carry on as bets you may your regular routine, to wait and to hope. And that is what the people of Helena are doing.
