DELEGATIONS
PROTEST IN
LOS ANGELES
Valleyites Will Fight
Threats Against
Drivers

Heads of the Associated
Farmers in four southern
counties will converge on
Los Angeles authorities We'd
nesday to find out why their
truck drivers are threatened with
violence and prevented from load
in merchandise in Los Angeles city
and county.
Hugh T. Osborne will represent
Imperial county when the problem
is laid before District Attorney Bu-
ron Fits of Les Angeles county.
Representatives of Riverside, Or
ange, and San Bernardino will be
present.
The group will demand that the
county make it possible for truck
drivers to get merchandise billed to
the four southern counties without
interference from the Lumber Haul
ers association Or other organiza-
tions alleged to demand tribute be-
fore the merchandise may be load
ed.
They want it made possible for
the drivers to get their loads with
out being subjected to bullying on
the part of persons interested in
interfering with commerce between
the coast county and those in the
interior
There is possibility, also, that
the matter will be placed before
the grand jury.

their ranches and dairies under the
condition proposed by the union.
More than 81 dairymen met at
the court house Monday night and
appointed a committee of II men
to call upon the workmen at all
creameries and distributing centers
for dairy products.
Stand Together
"If we don't stand together we
will fall apart" was the expressed
opinion among the assembled group.
"The big manufacturers can pay
the tribute demanded by the CIO
and take it out of us, but where are
we going to get the tribute they
would demand of the dairymen?"
asked one rancher. Another de-
clared the dairymen of Imperial
Valley would not submit to dicta-
ton from the CIO.
"They will not unionize my
ranch and 1 do not believe the
CIO will get away with unioniza-
tion down here in Imperial Val
ley" said Art KnutsOn, Brawley
dairy rancher. 1--WE have enough
to put up with without having
the union cluttering up things.
My opinion is that they had better
bring big gang with them if
they try to stop the average dairy
man in taking care of his land"
The group was promised the pro-
lection and aid of the Associated
Farmers of Imperial county in car
rying out their plans to protect
their industry from the inroads of
the CIO organizers.

FALL STUDENTS
REQUIRED TO Be
VACCINATED
Law Requires All Pupils To Be
Given Safeguard Against
Smallpox

If you are going to start your
youngster in school this fall, don't
forget he, or she, will have to be vac
cinated against smallpox-if that has
not already been attended to-before
being entered in any public school in
the State. This reminder comes from
DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health and is based
on one of the health laws of the State.
eve have had only two cases of
smallpox in Maryland in the last seven
years." DR.. Riley said, zone in 1881
and the other in 1885. The record is
blank for 1880, 1882, 1888, 1884 and
for 1886. So far it is unblemished
for 1887 also. We hope to keep it so.
"But the disease has been, and is,
prevalent elsewhere. During the first
six months of the current year over
1900 cases have occurred in other
parts of the country, over 1900 more
than were reported during the CORE
spending period of 1886. Half the
States in the Union were represent
ed in the two totals. The majority
of the cases, occurred, of course, in
the States in which vaccination is not
compulsory.
Smallpox is very contagious. Any
body who has not been vaccinated and
is exposed to the disease, is likely to
contract it. The only way to avoid
having it, is through vaccination. We
have established our favorable resord
in Maryland through vaccination.
Physicians in general practice in
Maryland, are expected to vaccinate
the babies under their care before the
children are a year old. RESPONSE
bility for having the children protect
ed against smallpox rests with the
parents until the children reach school
age. After that it is shared by teach
ers and school authorities. The vaccin-
alton laws were enacted in 1864. The
school law requires child to be vac
cinated before he or she may be re-
ceived in any public school in the
State, and it imposes a a fine of ten
dollars on any teacher who enrolls a
child, or on any school trustee or COM
missioner, who permits a child to be
enrolled, who has not been vaccinated.
Parents are cooperative, as a rule
in observing the law. They know the
children have to be vaccinated; they
mean to have it done, but a good many
of them put it off. Consequently we
find not vaccinated against smallpox,
checked against the names of half of
the siX-year-olds examined during the
summer at the child health confer
ences in the Counties, in preparation
for their admission to school in the
fall.
1--WE can point with pride to our IA
vorable record with regard to small
pox in Maryland, but the only way
we can keep it up, is by remembering
to have the children vaccinated. Par
ents whose children have not been
protected against this disease should
go either to their own doctor, or to
the County Health Officer, and have
it DONE"
