 All zones remain as outlined in Public Proclamation No. 8, issued November IS, l943. Travellers into Zones "B" and "C" will continue to register for each separate trip contemplated"

inpossibility of obtaining from the French authorities any increase in then supply of raw material, but it succeeded in exceeding its pre-War production.
 The manufacture of. 10.3cm phials for mass anti-diphtheria and anti tetanus inoculation increased from 12,600 in 1883 to 1,359,0O in 1922. Diptheria toxin production jumped from 4180 quarts in 1882 to 28,000 in 1944. This increase, incidentally, was maintained for nearly all other ser- ums and vaccines. This alone, de- clared the director, bordered on the miraculous.
 The Pasteur Institutes determ- ination to step up its peacetime production was motivated by the steady rise in demand. As the war dragged on the number of sick peo- pie steadily rose, mainly owing to undernourishment. Compulsory vac- cinations and the occasional panics which led people to hoard medical supplies did the rest From time to time there was considerable diff culty in meeting requirements of the public.
 When the Germans decided they wanted to take ever the production of anti-typhus vaccine in 1942 the Institute secretly installed labora- tory deep in the heart of France at Ia Roche -Beaulieu, near Perigneux, on an estate belonging to the French labor party. When commit nications were disrupted, due main- ly to allied bombings, diphtheria anti-toxins were manufactured at

production of the IA serums and their 35 varieties as well as the seven single, double and triple vac- cines made by the Pasteur Institute. No subsidy was asked for and the price of the serums was never in- creased,
 To keep up their supply the In- stitute used every month 5000 mice and guinea pigs each, plus 1000 rab- bits. The stables had to hold no less than 800 horses. In case the water supply ran short an old disused well in the courtyard was restored. Old machinery for producing power and current was repaired for use on days when the electricity supply was curtailed or completely cut down.
 It is no wonder that today the Pasteur Institute stands high in the estimation of all French people. It held out through the most difficult times and saved thousands of lives thanks to the high sense of devo- tion and patriotism of each of its members down to its most humble helDerS

Paris Scientists Outwit Nazi Bal
Famed Pasteur Clinic Cached Secret Serun1s
By ROSETTE HARGROvE NEA Staff Correspondent

Paris, Dec. l5-There is one Or- ganization in Paris which, despite the almost insurmountable difficult ties inherent to four years of enemy occupation, today can declare with Unsuitable pride: ''We have need of nothing" This is the world famous Pasteur Institute.
 The tale of it's struggles against restrictions and shortages, plus the necessity of carrying on its work secretly, in defiance of the Nazis, reads like aIl epic.
 ' For months before D-Day, &C., cording to Director Monsieur Tre- fouel, the Institute, on it's own in- itiative and without any official help or guidance, decided to place in hiding stores of vaccines and serumS in anticipation of epidemics which almost automatically follow in the wake of war. This work had to be carried on surreptitiously. The precious phials were placed in teaches" all over the country, but especially along the coasts.
 SECRET LABORATORY
 For four long years not only did the Institute manage to keep going in spite of the Germans systematic refusal of every application and the
