 PREVALENCE
 IS REp0RTED

Four cases of chickenpox occur ring in Juneau and Douglas have been reported to Dr w. w. Council, local health officer, within the past week.
 "Thc probability of other cases being present in the area seems quite certain, states Dr. Council, "as often the cases are so mild as to be unrecognized by the parents of chil- dren afflicted.
 Although chickenpox uncomplicat ed is not ordinarily serious disease, there are several important facts for parents to keep in mind regarding this common disease of childhood, pr. Council said.
 Vaccination Urged
 FIRST: Chickenpox often re- sembles the dread disease smallpox For parents who have had their children successfully vaccinated within the past five years, this re- semblance presents no difficulties However, any child who breaks out with a skin rash should be seen by the family physician. Also, any child from six months of age and over who has not been successfully vac cinated within the past five years should be protected immediately.
 SECOND: Complications second ary to an attack of chickenpox, al though rare. occur often enough to make it necessary to protect the child in every way possible. Call your doctor for advice.
 THIRD: Protect your neighbours child by isolating the sick child until recovery and until your doctor says he is safe to be about.
 Incubation Period
 FOURTH: If your child has been exposed to a case of chickenpox and is going to get the disease, signs of illness and the skin eruption will begin to appear within IA to 21 days.
 FIFTH: There are no restrictions on household contacts Paren ts should isolate or remove from the home for their protection other children in the family who have not had chickenpox. No restrictions are placed on other contacts outside the home.
 Further information regarding chickenpox or vaccination clinics may be obtained from Miss Magn- hild Oygard, Public Health Nurse, at the Juneau Public Health Center, Room 108, Territorial Building, or by calling telephone number 2l8 any afternoon but Saturday.

TREND IS LOWER

While the trend was generally
lower in today's bond market,
losses were mostly small and
numerous firm spots were in evil
dence at the close.
Rails offered less resistance
than other groups, indicating, bro
kers said, that speculative hold
ings in these issues were being
lightened in consequence OF the
involvement of Greece in the Eu-
ropean war.
There was some shifting of ma
turtles in the government list as
dealers prepared for an expected
offering from the treasury later
this fall. Closing prices were mix
ed, UP ,14-32 of a point to down
4-32. Trading was comparatively
