HEALTH BOARD WARNS
MILTON ON DISEASE
Schick Test Drive Begun With
Diphtherla Case Reported

With the recent discovery of a
case of diphtheria near Milton, par-
ents of that area are being urged
to permit immunizatiOn of their chill
dren, and not to send to school any
child with a sore throat until after
the family physician has been con-
suited.
Immunization treatments were
offered to the lower grade pupils of
the Milton schools last week and
parents signed treatment-permissio
slips for about so children. The av-
erage number of children under I2
years of age who have received tox-
old is lower, in the Milton area than
in the State as a whole by IS per
cent.
Within six weeks Schick tests will
be offered to determine whether
each child is immune to the disease,
and tOXoid will again be given to |
each one found still susceptible. |
One immunization treatment is usu-
ally sufficient to protect any child,
according to health authorities, but
in a small percentage of cases pro-
lection is not attained with only one
dose.
Parents are being warned by
State health authorities that i'm
treatments do not be-
come thoroughly effective until from
two to six months have lapsed.
To the persistent and cOnscien-
tious efforts Of the State Board of
Health, since It inaugurated this Inn
progrgam in 1926, has !
been accredited the reduction in an !
lual diphtheria deaths in the State
rom 80 in 1926 to five in 1885, and 9
,nly two so far in 1886. In 1885, only 6
70 cases were reported in the State, Z
which was so per cent reduction
rom the lowest figure ever before :
eported, and Is thought to compare z
noTe than faVorably with the preVi- Il
us ten years average of 1856 cases :
er year. 3

LIFT STRIKE

NEW YORK. March 16 GN.S0.
Some $4,000 elevator operators and
other building service employees
were to return to work today in
an atmosphere still charged with
tension despite the official ending
Of the 15-day strike early Sunday.
The union hurled a charge Of
duplicity against the realty
advisory board, representative Of
the building owners, because Of a
statement issued by Walter
Gordon Merritt, counsel to the
board, after the peace pact" had
been signed.
This statement gave the appear
ance Of repudiating the most in
sistent demand of the union-that
strikebreakerS be fired at once and
their places taken by former en-
ployes, except in cases where
strikers had been found guilty Of
violence and sabotage.
Merritt's statement, which al
most caused a reopening of the
strike according to union leaders,
read:
Satisfactory employees EN-
plOyed in good faith to fill
positions vacated by strikes,
with assurances that their en-
ployment is not temporary,
should not be abandoned by the
employer"
