Porents Worned To
Imunize Children
Against Diptherio


No parent would let his child
starve to death as long as food
could be obtained. Why then,
should not parents be aroused to
the needless loss Of a child's life
when protection against diph-
iberia is available at all times
and free at that.
A great killer of little children,
especially those under 5 years
Of age, diphtheria is nevertheless
the easiest Of all serious diseases
TO prevent. Parents can have
their children immunized against
it by a simple harmless treat
ment SO effective that even a
mild attack is unlikely to occur.
All children, when they are 6
to 8 months old and certainly be-
fore the end OF the first wear,
should be immunized. The treat
ments are easily and quickly Civ
en-. 1t takes a few months for
the protection to develop. ANY
child who entered school or kin
dergarten this year without this
safeguard should be given pro-

Maximum Effort ;
Road To Victory,
VINO Officer Says

The shortest road to resump-
ton of civilian production is for
every n of us to make his max
imum contribution to the war
effort right now and until the
day Of victory" said Harvey E.
Enloe, of Atlanta, deputy re-
gional War Manpower director,
who is at a meeting of the VINO
priorities committee at Jackson.
Mr.. Enloe said that until a few
weeks ago we were doing ex-
ceedingly well in wal produc-
ton. Then something happened
and there was a sharp decline in
production. This decline came
just at the time that our armies
and navies were making their
most exhausting demands upon
our reserves of munitions. This
situation is very serious and it
is possible for it to become crit
ical,' he said.
"In this region there are many
plants which are producing sup
plies absolutely essential to the
continuation of our present all
out military effort. Actually, to-
day these plants are short nearly
$4,000 workers. At this critical
point we dare not permit our
efforts to be slowed down be-
cause of overconfidence or for
any cause"
Mr.. Enloe stated that the great
majority of employers are CO.
operating with the program of
manpower controls designed to
direct available labor to those
concerns most essential to the
war effort. There are still a few
non-essential concerns which APP
parently have failed to realize
the seriousness of encouraging a
shift of labor away from essen
tial war production employment.

This was voted on affirmative
ly at the end of the discussion

guests. 1t. Dobes gave a talk
on the great need for women in
the Army Medical Corps but a
break in the movie camera pre-

ever, this film will be presented
before the club at some date in
the near future to be announced
later.

Last year in Mississippi there
were $40 cases of diphtheria re-
ported, with "a deaths. This is
a grave indictment against indif-
ference or ignorance, for it can
be safely said that had all these
victims been protected through
immunization none, at most a very
few, of those cases would have
developed. Already in this year
Mississippi has had 323 cases of
diphtheria, and at this season
when colds and respiratory dis
eases are prevalent it stands to

reason that even more children
will develop diphtheria-an and
some will die of it.
In the hands of parents lies
largely the control of diphtheria.
Physicians and public health Of
ficials are ready to provide this
protection, but unless parents as
sumo their share of response
bility unnecessary deaths from
diphtheria will continue.
