America, whose legislators retain the
power I am asking Congress to re-
tain, will not resent it if we put our
legislative body on an equal basis

Congress says that it will exercise
the same function that their legis-

county, which escaped detection at
the time. She was confined to bed
for only two days, and a week later
attended a wedding in Mifflin coun-
ty, and soon afterward returned to
Ohio. Secondary cases Of smallpox
appeared simultaneously in Lam
caster and Mifflin Counties early in
December, but the disease was not
recognized until December % by
which time the health authorities
were confronted with both second
airy and tertiary cases. By the end
of December, 81 cases had been re-
ported. Four additional cases-two
in Pennsylvania, one in Maryland,
and one in New Jersey - all re-
ferable to this outbreak, developed
in January of the current year.
The New Jersey case was the first
reported in that state In more than
10 years.
Investigation showed that the IS
persons who contracted the disease
in this epidemic either had never
been vaccinated or had long out
lived their immunity. Thirteen were
unvaccinated preschool children. OF
the So adults affected, At had never
been vaccinated, and in the other
five cases, SO to so years had elapsed

The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-06-09

For the first time in any year
in the country's history, smallpox
cases dropped. below 1000 during
1912. Furthermore, IL states and
the District of Columbia were en-
tirely free from smallpox last year,
according to the statisticians of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, while three other states re-
ported only one case each. The
total number of cases reported in
the United States was 1877, and of
this number less than 10 proved
fatal. The previous low in small
pox was during 1941 when LAS
cases were reported, while as re-
Gently as 1888, the nation had regis
tered 14,977 cases.
Major credit for the reduction
goes to Alabama, California, Colo
radio, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. Figures
presented by the statisticians show
how great has ben the accomplish
ment of this group of states. In
1910, they reported 2,049 cases of
smallpox and in 1912 only 227 cases,
a decrease of 80 per cent.
In dramatic contrast are the
negligible gains reported by Ohio
Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky
Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mis-
Sissippi, Louisiana, and Texas. The
eradication of smallpox in these
areas would virtually rid the coun-
try Of this disease.
That the existence of an area
in which smallpox Is not effectively
controlled is a very real and con-
slant threat to areas which are do
ing their utmost to stamp it out
is wildly illustrated by the insur-
ance company's report which IL
quoted in part:
pennsylvania has had one of the
best records against smallpox of any
state in the Union, having reported
only two cases since 1882. In No.
yember 1912, however, this splendid
record was badly shattered wher

TEST BLACKOUT
SUCCESS IN N. Y.
Relatively Small Number

Lights in homes and streets blink

There was a relatively small num-
Der of automobile accidents and

causing one of the city's worst sub

two lines for nearly six hours while
water was pumped out of the tun-

At the end of the test, Major
General T. A Terry, Commander OF
the second service command, said
that both the public and defense
and military personnel had done "a
splendid job" during the blackout.
This is particularly gratifying
since the test tonight involved the
actual passage of planes over our
cities for the first time and con-
sequently presented more realism
than heretofore" he said.
