CARE OF DISEASES

Dr A H. Elliot, city and county
health officer, announced yesterday
tho times recommended by the
Posrd of Health for immunization
AGAINST whooping cough and dip
iberia.
Whooping cough vaccine should
be injected when the child is from
three and one-half to five months
old At that time three doses two
weeks apart are recommended, he
said.
One year after completing this
treatment the first booster DOSE
should be given, he stated, and the
second year after, the second
booster dose" is given, complet-
ing the treatment.
when the child is from eight to
nine months of age, the first dose
of diptheria toxoid should be given,
Elliott said, and the second dose
from four to six weeks later.
The Schick test should be taken
nv the child from six to twelve
months later to determine if he is
immune to diptheria.
Until the last State legislature,
immunization against whooping
cough was not required, DR.. Elliot
said, for there was not vaccine
sufficiently reliable to make it {
legal requirement. However, he
added, it is felt that the vaccine
now is improved enough to justi-
fy its requirement by law by the
time the child is one year old, and
to request a certificate of immune
cation to whooping cough before a
child enters school.
In the few cases where whoop-
ing cough does still claim a child
after he has been vaccinated, il
is found that the case is mild, he
concluded.

FOUR KODIAK FIRMS 1 ARE CITED BY 0pA

Four firms doing business in Ko- diak, Alaska, have felt the impact of the Alaska OPA's newly acquir- ed authority to roll back prices that are out of line, even though they were high in that particular com munity during the base period, it was revealed today by Mildred R. Hermann, Alaska Director of the OPA.
 This authority which is set up in Revised Maximum Price Regulation 194, is known as the Directors Ini- tiative It allows the OPA Director to order reductions of price lines upon the basis of substantiated facts showing such action is needed. The action in the Kodiak cases repre- sents the first use of this authority in Alaska. In making the orders, which cover reductions on certain lines of mems and boys clothing, it is pointed out that prices on these commodities had advanced sharply in Kodiak in the fall of 1941, owing to the unusually heavy demand brought on by the influx of war workers during that period. This situation created inflated prices, which were legal under Alaska s price regulation, although much out of line with prices generally prevail ent.
 The application of the Directors Initiative marks significant addi- tion to the price control program in Alaska, the OPA pointed cut

 Thomas said the industry is now developing tires that will wear as long as the car they're on, that won't puncture, blow out or skid However, he emphasized that some of these developments are in the formative stage and no one would foretell how long it would be be- fore such tires would hit the mar ket.
