Help Prevent Spotted
Fever This Season

The spotted fever season is in
the offing, warns DIR. v. L. Eli
colt, County Health Officer. Ticks
spread this disease, and ticks are
now appearing in the County and
elsewhere in the State.
Ticks fasten themselves upon
dogs and other hairy animals, and
to the clothing of people who pass
through weeds Or grass and woods
where ticks abound. Infected ticks
transmit spotted fever by their
bites. The disease is fatal in $3.50
of the known cases.
Spotted fever vaccine is available
in the Montgomery County Health
Department. 1t should be used only
for persons who, in the opinion OF
their physicians, are frequently ex-
posed to tick bites.

Civilian Employment
At Fort Meade
Steadily Increasing

Rising civilian employment at
Fort Meade, Nd, is steadily free
ing more garrison troops for more
active duty, it was reported here
this week.
From the LIST of March, when in
tensive efforts to employ more
civilians for essential war work be-
gan, until the middle of April, there
was a net gain of more than $50
in the post civilian roster. The
great majority of new workers re-
placed soldiers, James Salyers, civ.
ilian personnel officer, said.
A large number of the civilian
employees who took over jobs for
merly held by soldiers were wom-
en-. Some of them moved into the
drivers seats of cars and even
trucks, into storekeepers' positions
at quartermaster distributing
points and other occupations US
ually thought of as strictly male
pursuits.
Many civilian jobs, however, still
are open to civilians. Some of
these, for which current needs are
greatest, are stenographers and
typists, postal clerks, storekeepers,
truck drivers, laundry workers,
power sewing machine operators
dental assistants and hospital mess
attendants and ward assistants
James Walters, local representative
of the U. S. Civil Service Commits
sion, said.
Mr.. Salyers reported that the
post is especially interested in hir-
ing residents of nearby communi.
ties and wives of soldiers or civil
ians stationed here.
