Irnrnunize Children
Against Diseases
loentInasd lIom Rlrsl Psasl

says DIR. Edwin Cameron, executive
secretary of the State Board OF
Health. Adults are advised to have
smallpox and typhoid immuniza-
tions.
I'VE must face a shortage of doc
tors and nurses in our communities
due to the war needs, and 1t is Vi
tally important that we do all in
our power now to prevent any
spread of contagious diseases" he
continued. especially so in view
of the fact that there may possibly
be need for the evacuation Of chill
dren in some areas.
Smallpox vaccination and diph-
iberia immunization are two health
measures long stressed by public
health workers throughout the
state. Now DR.. Cameron says that,
because of the uncertainties of the
future. typhoid immunization is inn
portant as well.
Vaccination for smallpox and the
lmmunization against diphtheria
are advocated for babies beginning
at six months of age and again for
children when they enter first
grade Of school. For those youngs-
ters who have not had these two
immediate doses of each
are advised.

A Condition And
Not A Theory

There are many Democrats in
the Administration and in Congress
who admit their inability to solve
the questions of price control and
imitation.
The indications that they have
had "a bear by the tail' in recent
weeks have pointed toward an "all-
out" fight between those who want
a bill that will cover all segments
of the price structure, and those
who want to exempt agriculture
and labor and possibly other groups
from the terms of measure which
Congress has been asked to enact.
Leon Henderson, Administrator
of Price Control, and other staunch
administrationists have inveighed
against ceilings on wages and agri-
cultural commodities. The difficult
political puzzle at the National Cap
ital Is how to change the situation
and provide for ceilings on all
prices,
Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard recently expressed his opinion
that most well informed farmers
who are familiar with the subject
favor a price ceiling at 1909 of
parity, whcih he says will take care
OF farmers pretty we'll" Mr.. Wick
ard believes that 'it has taken us
a long time to sell the country on
the idea of equality for the farm
ers,"gand advises, Let's keep it So"
Thegnew Agriculture Secretary is
making a mark for himself in Wash
ington, and he doesn't hesitate to
bring the farm problems right down
to date. In his opinion the chief
worry Of farmers is not farm prices
today, but farm prices tomorrow.
They want to produce" he de-
clares, "but they know what sur
pluses did to their income in the
past They are wondering what
win happen after the defense effort
is over"
