RECENT VACCINATION is BEST
PREVENTIVE FOR SMALLPOX
lcontlnued frOn Flrst Paeel

arm should not be bandaged at any
time, and no adhesive tape should
be put around the bandage or any
where else on that arm. By follow
ing the physicians advice, no diff
Guilty should be experienced as a
result of the vaccination.
Having a scar from a former vac
cination will not positively pro-
tect a person from smallpox if the
vaccination was done more than
5 years ago. Repeating the vacci-
nation is the only safe procedure.
People should remember that there
will only be a sore on the arm IF
the persons body needs smallpox
protection. If the person is i'm
mune." or is not apt to catch the
disease. the taking of the vacci-
nation will cause no sore at all.
Smallpox vaccination is being
offered throughout the the state at
all regular board of health clinics,
whether they be Well Child Con-
cerences. prenatal. venereal dis
ease or other clinics. All doctors
may obtain smallpox vaccine from
the board of health to administer to
their patients. Vaccine supplies are
on hand at all the county health
units in Newark. Dover and George
town.
In its early stages. smallpox may
be like grippe in appearance. In
its later stages many cases re-
semble chickenpoX. 1t is important,
stresses DIR. Cameron, that anyone
having symptoms like these should
have the doctor notified at once and
that he or she should be kept away
from other people. even away from
the rest of the family. until the
doctor has been there and given
his opinion.
Smallpox is one of the most cas-
ily caught of the communicable
diseases. 1t may strike unvaccinat-
ed persons of all ages. and is par
dangerous to young chill
lren.
The common signs and symptoms
associated with the beginning of
he disease are chills. intense head
lche. severe pains in the back, vo-
hitting. rapid pulse, and a quick
Use in temperature.
A rash develops over most of the
lody's surface on the third or

lerature usually drops to normal.
later the dreaded smallpox alb
icesses are formed. After about 4
weeks. the sores begin to disappear,

Smallpox usually develops in

Oil Use Is Slashed;
Pleasure Driving Out
tcoptinued from First Page,

Under the edict against pleasure
driving. which became effective at
neon Thursday, any motorist driv-
ing to amusement centers or to
purely social engagements faces
the cancellation OF all or part Of
his gasoline ration.
OPA called upon state, county
and local law enforcement agen-
cies to carry out the new resula-
ton in l. Eastern States and the
District of Columbia where the oil
gasoline shortage is acute.
OPA prohibited all pleasure mo-
toling by holders of 4. B. and c
passenger car ration cards. II did
not define pleasure driving fully
but said the term would have
broad meaning" and would he in
terpreted in an official regulation
soon to be released,
1t was indicated however. that
local boards would have consider
able authority to decide. on the
basis of local conditions. what
driving was necessary and what
was not.
Fun Is Out
IF it's fun it's out"
OPA authorities said that is the
best test. These authorities. speak
ins anonymously pending the is
suance of an official definition
said:
Going to church is not pleasure
driving.
Taking children to school is
probably all right. in the absence
of other transportation.
Going to a doctor or a hospital
is obviously all right.
However, the finding of a pas
senger car at a race track will be
taken as "prima facie evidence that
gasoline rations and tires are being
dissipated needlessly and illegal
ly," the official announcement stat
ed.

nearly half of all A rations in the
East were being used for essentia'

Dir eetor of the office of Censorship. and on a still later date representa- lives Of the armed services and of the Department of Justice. the lat ter including the Attorney General
 The bill was not passed. but it seems likely that similar legislation will come before Congress early in the next session.
 
 The question Of legality or iIle- gality of censorship anywhere is not of the highest importance. This is not an occasion when We can properly or safely indulge in the luxury of legal hair-splitung. When our men are dying daily on our far flung battlefronts to protect the nation. il iIl-becomes those of Us who are safe at home to demand that every action taken by the ex- ecutiye must be firmly based upon a decision Of the Supreme Court.
 Nevertheless. it seems plain to me that there is no need and. therefore. no justification for the censorship Of written or printed ma terial going from the States to AL aska. The situation of Alaska is Tot comparable 10 that of Hawaii, where We have a good many thou sands of Japanese who are still cit izens of Japan and who are ineligi- ble to become citizens of the United States. nor are conditions in Alas ka similar to those h Puerto Rico or tbe Virgin Islands, and, there fore, any argument based upon the of censoring written or printed communications between the United States. Hawaii. Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands is who'll lE irTeYelant when We consider cen sorship between the States and AL aska. l. Is true that the Japanese
 
 tern-most or the Aleutians. and [ am also informed that Alaska has been declared a combat area. but neither the presence of the Japan ese at kiska and the other islands farther west, nor the mere declar- ation that Alaska is a combat area. proves that any written or printed communication going from the States to Alaska is any more likely to be obtained by the enemy than a similar communication between two states. In fact. there are plenty and plenty of reasons why such communications can not possibly get into the hands of the Japanese or any other of our enemies through Alaska.
 As to letters and other mailable coming out of Alaska to the States, the conditions are some what different and some reason may De given for censorsing southbound mail which does not apply to that which is northbound, but even as to mail out of Alaska for the States. l the question may be asked how the absence of censorship could be of aid to the enemy.
 As to radio messages, there is a 1 clear distinction. After all, when radio messages are put on the air il is common knowledge that they may be picked up a considerable

distance away. possibly by an en- emy ship OF even by an enemy land station Accordingly. no one should complain at any reasonable censor ship of radio messages going in or coming out of Alaska or between one point and another in Alaska In the States che telegraph messages are all sent over land lines from which there is comparatively little danger of leakage.
 The really absurd action Of the censors in the past gives good ground for doubune the soundness of their judgment Tp una August 2S it was the custom of the eensors To clip articles out Of magazines and newspapers going to Alaska which had been freely printed and eireul- ated in the States. MT. Price now advises that such practice has been ended except in those rare instances where. by accident or misehance. or through malice. something is car ried in one Of the newspapers or magazines in Che States which would clearly give aid or comfort To the' enemy and therefore. it's eircula-I ton should be suppressed every-I where and under all circumstances. The fact that the censors of thel past were so lacking in good com-I mon sense on the question makes. ne the more certain that my ownI position is right in urging that all. censorship of mail going from theI States 70 Alaska should be ended.
