Medical statistics indicate a
lOO% increase in diptherla IN
North Carolina cases repofteo
through September and Oc1ooel
of this year as compared WIN
figures for the same period OIL
last wear. These are the months
when this disease strikes.
Judging from the current sta
tistics l947 will be a more Sc
we're year for diptherla than
1916. A great measure OF res
possibility for this unhappy turn
of events can be laid on the pa
rents of North Cardinals young
children despite law enacted
by the General Assembly on
March II, 1899, requiring the
parents or guardians of all
North Carolina children between
the ages of six months and i've
wears to have their children mn
munized against diptheria or pay
a fine of $50 or be imprisoned
for 80 DAYS. Further leeWay was
allowed the parents. They were
allowed to have the immunlZa-
ton completed by the physician
of their choice or by a County
Health Officer at no charge.
Since parents are either I'M
aware of this statute or are dlS-
regarding it, one of the States
largest hospitals has reported
definite increase in the number
of children who are admitted
with diptheria. Last year through
lack of proper parental care
MANY children unnecessarily
died from this disease. Had they
been taken by their parents to a
doctor or clinic for shots AT
the age of six months they
would be alive and well today.
Doctors cannot urge too strong
ly that two or preferably three
shots be given every child at m
tervalS of at least six weeks with
a booster dose from one to two
years later. One does not always
protect.
In addition to the shots a
Schick test should be done three
months after the shots and every
year thereafter. These tests
should also be performed on any
child who has had diptherla, for
unless they are protected the
disease may strike again. The
physician or health officer can
give a combined shot which
will protect also against WhOop-
ing cough and lockjaw
In cities where most of the
children have been protected
against diptheria the disease has
almost disappeared and no chill
dren succomb from it. Since al
most every mother has been told
of these shots, only three reasons
can account for the fact that so
many ignore the advice and re-
fuse the precautions. They may
be afraid of the shots: they may
be careless and forgetful: or they
may not know that shots are d
valuable to every child in health
departments, we'll baby clinics

rents can pay or not.

man Vergara Donoso spoke af.er
Bramuglia, stressing wat he said
was the urgency for the feconom-
ic solidarity Of the Americas.
Vergara, who previously said he
opposed the economic conference
proposed by Argentina, siad that
I'VE must turn our preoccupations
toward that which is the unvoid-
able complement" of continental
security.
This complement" ne contin-
ued, has to do with the CONSOLE
dalton of economic order in the
lie of America. Until yesterday
we could speak and work for the
political solidarity Of the Ameri-
can peoples without any funda-
mental preoccupation over the
economic side. Today this solidar-
ity for which we are working with
so much faith may become pla-
tonic and meaningless in spite of
the best we can do if we do not
perfect it together with economic
solidarity"
Uruguayan Foreign Minister
Mateo Marques Castro proposed a
plan of peace" capable of avoid
ing 1.-THE infiltrtion of ideologies
which are strange to our mental
ity and conception of freedom"
Marques made a strong plea
for the existence OF governments
(which legitimately represent
their peoples and assure the pro-
lection and guardianship of hui
man beings"
"It is necessary at the same
time we are consolidating the
peace to make rational the eco
nomic problems of production, in
dustry, and finances to put an
end to the pains and miseries of
peoples" he said.
Julian Caceres, Honduran dele
gate, said the defense treaty
would be the most transcendent
event ever occurring in the his
tory of the American Republics."
Brazilian Foreign Minister Raul
Fernandes, unanimously elected
president of the conference yes
terday, warned the delegates that
if they failed to preserve CONT
mental peace, "others less inte::.
ested than we and less fitted TO
accomplish it will take our
place."
Fernandes conferred privately
for 40 minutes before today's ses-
sion with Paraguayan Foreign
Minister Federico Chavez. Well
informed sources said the two dis
cussed a possible conference to
mediate the Paraguayan conflict.
