OPA Discloses Source of
Some Rstionine Beef" ..

Among the more unpleasant fea-
lures of the fuel oil shortage. oPA
points out, is the attitude of some
people in the distributing end of
the fuel oil businesses.
They're afraid that conversion
from oil to coal may do them a
permanent harm, so these unpa-
triotic citizens are raising a fuss
about conversion and rationing.
instead of recommending the only
healthful and logical procedure.
They know that they're not going
to have enough oil to keep every
fuel-oil user snug this winter. but
they're contributing nothing to
the solution except some yells and
kicks about rationing.
One of their main arguments
against conversion is that coal is
also scarce. It's true that there
is a coal shortage and that it
may be rationSd eventually. But
there won't be the irremediable
shortage that there is in oil, for
the simple reason that coal. re-
quiring no special tank cars,
doesn't present the transportation
problem that's the big oil diff
fieulty.
oPA points out that these I'M
cooperative distributors are de-
cidedly in the minority. And OPA
admits that there will no doubt be
isolated cases of hardship for those
who aren't doing their utmost to
conserve what fuel they have.
But those who are trying Ia
knock down the whole rationing
structure certainly aren't helping
things in any way.

about to look into the situation.
Contrary to some peoples no.
lions, there never has been a WPB
order stopping the manufacture
of clocks. But the clock industry,
like many others, was hit by the
order that eliminated all non-es-
sential use of metals.
Some 100000 clocks wear out
every year. and at present there's
a very small stock of replace
ments on dealers shelves. So the
clockmakers are going to get some

are born. all babies have an i'm
munify to measles, scarlet fever
and diphtheria that will last them
around six months. but from the
very first they can get chicken
pox and two very severe diseases,
smallpox and whooping cough.
Now we're all familiar with the
smallpox vaccination and the
diphtheria immunization. Almost
too familiar, perhaps, because we
sometimes forget to have them
taken care of soon after the baby's
6-month birthday. The fact re-
mains that vaccination and inn
munization have practically wiped
out these two diseases. We will
have only our own carelessness to
blame If they start on the rampage
again.
But prevention of whooping
cough is not so certain a matter.
Some doctors today do not
give the vaccine to babies under
their care. II is not yet required

some communities. Why Is this?

The first reports of standardized

Incidence about in half. When

Then why don't all doctors give
