Immunity in Contacts

This increasing immunity is ac-
quired either by having the dis
ease, or by contacts with carriers
-playmates, parents, eompan-
ions-so that you engulf a few
germs from time to time and kill
them off, thus conditioning your
cells to produce antitoxin. Notice
how much less protection rural
jewellers get; they live where there
are few contacts, few carriers.

Infant Immunity Ends
But not so the beginning citizen.
Newborn babies have a passive
immunity TO most contagious
which they get from their moth
ers. But this wears out at the end
of six or. eight months. These new
born babies are not exposed to
much cross infection. Their milk
supply is, or should be, uninfected.
At about six months, as | said,
the passive immunity begins to
wear off and the individual has to
develop active immunity from his
own cells. He either does this or
active immunity is artificially sup
piled to him by vaccines.
To show how natural immunity
grows year by year: in the days
when diphtheria vaccination was
not yet done on a large scale,
groups of school and preschool
children were examined by the
Schick test to determine their i'm
immunity to diphtheria. This is
the way the age groups were re-

be the difficult decisions which

a scale will tax our ingenuity and

Industry should be ready to re-

many industries are now devotmg
research to the type of goods
which they can best market. Men
should be prepared to shift back
from swords to plowshares, and
this may we'll involve as much re-
location and retraining as was in

not otherwise available. The agen-
c1es Of the federal government
are now engaged in the study of
the kind of public works and
