Warning Of
Measles Is
Given Here

More cases of measles were re-
ported in June in Vance county
than in any previous month"; SAID
a statement today from the Vance
county Health Department. The con-
tagion is as yet not in epidemic form,
and there is no alarm about the
! disease this summer, the statement
said, but 1--WE certainly would like to
have it completely cleared up by
opening Of school,.
The recOunting of the condition
was the basis for an appeal to the
people of the city and county to CO.
operate to the utmost in precautions,
and suggestions were given by the
department. A close watch on chill
dren for symptoms and extra efforts
to keep them segregated from con-
tact with measles cases was urged.
Every parent was urged not to allow
a child to visit with sick children
until it is definitely known that the
Isick child has no contagious disease.
During the summer vacation, chill
dren are not congregated together as
they are when attending school, and
for that reason, the department
thinks, it is easier to eradicate or
control the disease at this time.
Following is the full statement Of
the health department.:
"While not in epidemic form as
yet, more cases of measles have been
reported in June than any previous
month. We are not alarmed about

is disbanded, but we certainly would
like to have it completely cleared
up by opening of school,
"Now we the health department
cannot stop the spread of measles,
but you the people of Henderson can
stop it completely in three weeks by
thoughtful cooperation. Here are
listed few precautions, if followed
will soon stop measles in summer
time
eff all children in your home have
had measles then you don't have to
worry about these things.
watch the child: he, or she, may
have been exposed to measles with
out your knowing of such exposure
Children seldom develop symptoms
of "cold" in summer So a child,
this season of the year, who has not
had measles and has watery eyes or
nose, slight sorethroat or headache,
less appetite or little temperature
should be kept at home at least "a
hours with no visitors who have not
had measles. If symptoms clear up,
o. K, if aggravated, then longer stay
at home.
''Don't let your children visit any
sick child, until you know that child
has no contagious disease. And vice
versa; let no children visit yours
when sick until you know what "ails
them"
"When a doctor sees your child
with measles he reports to the health
department, and we will mail or de-
liver the quarintine placard.
eff you have a case of measles and
have no doctor, then you are to re-
port the case Immediately to the
health department.
''Do the above mentioned pre-
cautions; obey the quarintine law
and let us prevent an epidemic of
measles when school opens next
fall"
