ward; and Mrs. Elma c. Gore Of
No. 4 North jackson street.
In connection with the petition,
the Rev. Mr.. Ingram handed the
following statement to Hewlett.
ION the evening Of November 3, a
home on Carolina Beach road. ly-
ing only 100 yards from the city
limits. was demolished by fire, In
it young child lost its life.
The man who discovered the
blaze called the nearest fire de.
partment for help. It was reported
to the writer that the man was
told that before the fire depart
ment could send aid they would
have to be assured of the receipt
OF 500. While the question Of mon
ey was being discussed, a child
lost its life in the flames.
1T stirs something deep within
us to realize that while many lives
are being lost unavoidably in these
days a child is allowed to die with
out any attempt on the part of the
fire department to save it.
This is not something which we
can blame on any person or any
group OF persons. The fire depart
ment was merely acting upon its
orders. But it should rouse the peo-
pie to take some action to see that
such thing does not occur again.
To that end the appended petition
is submitted to the county commits
sloners,' the minister concluded.
The full text of the petition fol-
lows:
Whereas, the densely populated
residential area Of Sunset Park
which is unincorporated, either In
the City OF Wilmington or of itself.

fires;
Whereas, many Of the houses
themselves and by virtue of their

Whereas, there are no ADEQUATE
fire laws and no regular inspection
OF houses to determine fire hazards,

of conflagration;
Whereas, the City of Whining

after being satisfied that the costs
of one hundred dollars will be paid.

involves great possibilities of dan

Therefore, we, the undersigned,

is not practicable, then we petition

Smallpox Vaccinations
Not Good For Life

Warning that a single vaccination
against smallpox does not guarantee full
protection for life, DR.. Felix j. Under
wood, executive officer, Mississippi State
Board of Health, explained that fun
protection comes with. vaccination in in
fancy, at school age. and at intervals
during later life. .as
physicians and health workers have
done a fine job in teaching the public
the Importance of the original vaccina-
tion against smallpox. said he, "but nm
fortunately not enough emphasis has
been given to the follow-through. Sta
tistics indicate that in about half Of
those who were once vaceinated as chill
dren, protection has become entirely
lost at the age of 81. We must revise
our definition of a susceptible person to
include not only persons who have never
been immunized, but those whose vacci-
nations may no longer be in force.
Disclosing that 33 cases of smallpox
have occurred in Mississippi in the past
two years. the health officer stated that
this total gives evidence that the dis
ease is still alive.
AS long as there are cases of small
pox and people who are susceptible,
DIR. Underwood continued, 'this disease
can strike and spread. Real immunity
depends on repeated vaccination, and
real freedom from the dread smallpox
will come when the public takes full ad-
vantage of this protection available Il
them through their physician or county
health officer" The physician added
that a re-vaccination will not stake"
unless it is needed; If a person it not
still immune, a regular or modified
take will occur.

Mineral Oil Warning


The increased use of mineral oil since
the war in salad dressings and also in
such foods as sailed nuts, potato chips
and ~doughnuts, may have serious nu-
tritional onsequences Nutrition re-
search at State Agricultural Experiment
Stations has shown that mineral oil robs
the body of at least two of the fat-so-
lube vitamins necessary to health, and
also of two important minerals, calcium
and phosphorus.
Mineral oil has come into wider use
in food preparation recently because it
has not been ratioped, as mNny food
fats and oils have been, and because
it has been plentiful and relatively
cheap, and does not become rancid. 1t
has practically no taste SO cannot be
detected in salad dressing. Fer use in
hotels and restaurants il is put up in
large-quantity containers. Mineral oil
dressing is widely sold also for "reduc-
ing" diets.
Unfortunately. few people have under
stood the harmful effects mineral oil
may have. These far outweigh its advan-
tages. 1t prevents the body from making
full use of some of the most important
essentials in food, SO it may lead to
deficiency ills.
Mineral oil dressing can offset the
vitamin A benefits from a green salad.
The vitamin A value Of butter and
cream is lost when mineral oil is taken.
Recent studies show that vitamin A
is not the only loss from mineral oil,
but that the body is cheated also of
vitamin D, the Sunshine vitamin," and
Of calcium phosphorus. Rats taking
mineral oil needed 3 times az much cod
liver oil to supply vitaminaD as rats
given no mineral oil. Puppies fed min
erai oil could not use the calcium and
phosphorus in their food TO build nor
NAL bones.
In a warning 70 physicians against
the indiscriminate use of mineral oil,
the Journal Of the American Medical
Association recently stated; "The in

gestion Of mineral oil is capable Of
interfering seriously with the Absorb
ton of carotene, the precursor of vita
min A, with vitamin A itself. and also
with ,vitamin d, calcium, phosphorus and
vitamin n. The prolonged use of miner
al oil may be associated with disturb
ances related to deficiencies of such
vitamins."
Under Food and Drug Administration
regulations. mineral oil dressings can
not be sold in interstate commerce as
m%ayonnaise or salad dressing or by any
other customary name Of a food product.
but may be sold legally as a special
dietary preparation for low calorie in
tae. Anyone using such a product needs
to consider whether a possible loss in
weight is worth the dangerous loss of
vitamins and other food essentials.
