STABILITY in WOODLANDS

America is growing UP and is hav-
ing to adjust and stabilize itself in
many ways. This adjusting process
begins right in the local community.
Well managed timberland can be val
liable help toward making otherwise
well managed farms pay good divi-
dends. With the oncoming needs for
higE quality forest products, it will
pay farmers as individuals to give
more and better attention to the
management of their woodlands,
law or no law. 1t will help them to
help their communities grow up in a
stable America. The same old free
doms, but not the same old lack of
concern about united action for the
common good. And well-managed
woodlands and other well-managed
commercial forest land will help this
country produce the wood it needs
and go forward industrially in a
way in which it cannot go If it lacks
a sufficient supply of needed forest
products. From Farm Timber, A

READY FOR SCHOOL

children are not ready to enter
school in Maryland until they have
been successfully vaccinated against
smallpox" DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department of Health,
reminds parents who expect to enroll
their youngsters in September.
"Those who have never been vacci-
mated, and also those vaccinated in
babyhood, should be taken to the
physician for vaccination now, so
that the scar will be well healed be-
fore school opens.
"In this State vaccination has been
legal requirement for many years.
The law provides for vaccination
within the first year of life and it
becomes strictly necessary as child
rem reach school age. The schools are
not allowed to enroll any child who
has NOT been vaccinated. Vaccination
of the entire population has eradica-
ted this dreaded disease from Mary
land and other States where it is re-
quired, to the extent that case of
smallpox would be rarity. However,
there is reason to believe that it
would return If regulations were re-
laXed
"Immunization against diphtheria
is also strongly urged, although this
is not a legal requirement. Parents
are urged to have their children pro-
tected from diphtheria by immuniza-
ton with toxoid. Children who had
this protection in infancy should re-
ceive a booster dose before entering
school in order to- maintain immunity
at high level.
These two types of protection
against disease should be considered
musts' for preschool children. Any
| other immunizations that the pkysi
clan may recommend will, of course
provide vadditional health security.
| Gin addition to this protection
against specific communicable dis
eases each child getting ready to en-
ter school should also receive com
plete physical examination by his pri
vate physician or at the nearest elm
is. Any treatment or correction of de
fects advised by the doctor should be
undertaken Immediately in order
that TIE child may enter upon the
new adventure of going to school in
the best possible physical condition
Good health and physical vigor will
add to his enjoyment of this new ex
perience and will help him to take
the best advantage of his opportunity
| to learn"

Veterans Start Many
New Business Units

A new record birth rate seems to be
in the making in this country.
Incorporation Of new business units
has increased substantially since the
return of millions of men and women
from the armed services and the re-
sumption Of production Of many types
of goods for civilian use.
Ordinarily some 100000 new BUSH
ness establishments come into exis-
tence annually in the United States.
This year that figure may be increas-
ed substantially by the thousands Of
business units started every week by
veterans and others.
Most of the baby businesses are
small, like grocery stores and service
stations. Many soon die. But some
will grow to become strong, enduring
enterprises, creating thousands of
new jobs.
The business birthrate is recognized
by economists as one Of the best
gauges of the vigor Of private enter

U. S. Food Drive Brings
Widespread Distortions

Efforts to relieve food shortages in

dislocations in many specialized agri-
cultural fields.
An example il the recent order
changing the milling ratio of wheat,
and restricting its use for some pur-
poses. On the face of it, this seems a
rational and necessary measure to
conserve inadequate supplies. But
consider only one or two of the many
adverse results which are being
brought about.
Poultry raisers are already being
forced to curtail hatchery operations.
gas baby chicks, and rush stock to
market in various stages Of imma-
turity. This involves substantial
wastes Of feed already consumed.
Many tropical and subtropical
countries depend upon the United
States for flour. The new product has
inferior keeping qualities in warm
climates, so there is real danger that
shipments to these areas may spoil
before they can be consumed.
Sudden shifts in production invari-
ably result in wasteful economic losses.
