Novel Book Writing
Project Is Held

An important forward step towards
aiding parents with the religious
training of their children, in which
the Rev. G.. Aubrey Young of the
Presbyterian Church, took part, was
carried out at Hood College last
week when a group of eleven minis
tiers and lay personnel, selected by
the Presbyterian Church's Board of
Christian Education, met to write
a book on religious teaching in the
home.
According to the Reverend Young,
the fve-day session proved an in
teresting experience in joint author
ship With Mrs. Ruth McAfee Brown,
great-granddaughter of the founder
of Park College in Missouri, as chair
man, the group met each morning
for general discussions and separated
into smaller units during the after
noon and evening for the writing of
various chapters.
Upon its publication during the
coming winter, the book will be
made available to study groups for
the propose of providing resources
for parents in answering their chill
drens questions and cementing the
bond between church and home.
Among the group with which the
Reverend Young worked were two
ministers from the Board, experts in
the field of children's work, and
three young mothers who have been
active in that field in their home
churches and Presbyteries.
Work on the forthcoming book
was done in connection with the
Presbyterian Summer Training
School, held during the same period,
July to IL, and a new venture in
this part of the country, though
similar schools have been conduct
ed in the Middle West and on the
Pacific Coast. One hundred and
sixty-five clergymen and laymen
were present at the session, which
included classes in choir school,
classes for church officers and Sun
day school personnel and courses in
Social Education and Action, deal
ing with the impact of the church
on social problems.

Vaccination Urged
Before School Days
State Health Department
Draws Attention To State Law
On Subject.

children are not ready to enter
school in Maryland until they have
been successfully vaccinated against
small pox," DR.. r. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the State Department of
Health, reminds parents who ex-
poets to enroll their youngsters in
September. 'Those who have never
been vaccinated, and also those vac
cinated in babyhood, should be taken
to the physician for vaccination now,
so that the scar will be well healed
before school opens.
'In this State vaccination has been
a legal requirement for many years.
The law provides for vaccination
within the first year of life and it
becomes strictly necessary as chill
dren reach school age. The schools
are not allowed to enroll any child
who has not been vaccinated Vac
cination of the entire population has
eradicated this dreaded disease from
Maryland and other States where it
is required, to the extent that a
case of smallpox would be a rarity.
However, there is reason to believe
that it would return if regulations
were relaxed.
"Immunization against diphteria is
also strongly urged, although this is
not legal requirement. Parents are
urged to have their children protect
ed from diphtheria by immunization
with toxoid. Children who had this
protection in infancy should receive
a booster dose before entering school
in order to maintain immunity al
high level.
These two types of protection
against disease should be considered
'musts for preschool children. Any
other immunizations that the physici-
an may recommend will, of course
provide additional health security.
"In addition to this protection
against specific communicable dis
eases each child getting ready to en-
ter school should also receive a com
plete physical examination by hi
private physician or at the neares
clinic. Any treatment or correction
of defects advised by the doctor
should be undertaken Immediately il
order that the child may enter up
on the new adventure of going tt
school in the best possible physica
condition. Good health and physica
vigor will add to his enjoyment O
this new experience and will hell
him to take the best advantage o
his opportunity to learn"

Navy Maps Program
OF Rank Reduction

The Navy Department is working
on a general rank deduction pro-
gram for many regular officers and
may put 1t into effect early next
year, officials said today.
Such plan has been under con-
sideration for several months,
according to a spokesman who de-
scribed 1t as customary" after a
war. There is no indication of
the number of officers who would
be affected. It was explained un-
officially that such a move might
consist of demotion Of most officers
by one grade, although existing rela-
tive ranks would be maintained.
Reserve officers and temporary
regular officers on active duty would
probably receive corresponding re-
ductions in rank.
Any reduction in rank order
would not be directly related to the
Navy's retirement system, nor would
it interfere with recruitment policies,
an official said. 1t was recalled
that the Navy has been reducing
its personnel total to an overall
figure of $4,000 officers and men
by the end of this year.
A revised regulation last February
Evening star., 1946-11-07

lowered the retirement age from
64 to So. During the war, the Navy
had more than 800 admirals and
commodores. This number has been
brought down to about $50 as q
result of retirements and reductions
in rank this year.
