|Immunize Your Child
(Fowth of a SeriesJ
By Dr.. George c. RuhIond
Health Officer, District Of Columbia

In the fourth article dealing
with immunization of children
against common childhood dis
eases, we will concern ourselves
with tetanus, more commonly
known as "lock-jaW."
Not too long ago injections OF
serum were used against this dis
ease at the time of an injury to
prevent tetanus. Medical science
| has now determined that a pro-
lection against tetanus by a tox-
old similar to that used against
diphtheria is also effective.
While there have been very few
cases of tetanus reported for the
past several years, with no cases
or deaths in 1948, it is felt that
precautions to keep such a serious
disease from appearing is most
valuable and should be included
in a series of immunizations to
safeguard children.
/. What is the nature OF i'm
munization against tetanus?
Protection against tetanus is
produced by a series of injections
given at monthly intervals. 1t is
similar to the protection given for
diphtheria. In fact, a combined
diphtheria-tetnaus toXoid or a
triple preparation, including diph-
iberia, tetanus and Whooping
cough, is coming into increasing
use for providing a durable i'm
munity to these diseases. 1t ap-
pears that combined immuniza-
ton produces more effective pro-
lection than the immunity pro-
duced by giving separate series OF
injections.
2. Who should receive this i'm
munization?
While previously any one en-
gagged in a hazardous occupation
military services, dangerous
sports, gardening or farming,
highway accident risks. etc. was
considered a suitable subject for
this immunization, the feeling is
increasing that every one should
be immunized against tetanus.
This is especially true Of chill
dren because of their intense
curiosity and exploratory activities.
Children are more likely to get
puncture wounds and dirty wounds
from street accidents and 1t is
we'll to prepare them for all pos
sible hazards and accidents.
8. When should this immuniza-
ton be given?
1t is preferably started about
the sixth month of life, unless
started earlier in combined prod
uct or agent.
4. What results are accomplished
by this immunization?
Immunity to tetanus is achieved.
The patients immune defenses
are placed in a state Of readiness
so that at the time of a severe
injury, which may be contaminated
with dirt, or otherwise suspected
of harboring tetanus organisms,
the individuals immunity may be
greatly stimulated Immediately by
a booster dose of tetanus toxoid.

Health Departments clinics.

This Changing World
Reds Military Activities in Far East
Apparently Being Overlooked by y. S.

Although only occasional reports
reach the outside world from that
country, the French government
admits off the record that the
campaign is draining France OF It's
best troops and is costing a great
deal of money.
In New Delhi, capital Of India,
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
declared that Communists are in
citing the population to active re-
bellion. This Communist policy,
he said. has resulted in looting,
violence and sabotage in certain
areas. Mr.. Nehru added that the
government is determined to sup
press these with all means at its
disposal, but 1t is known to foreign
observers in India that existing
armed forces are too small to put
down really serious outbreaks IN
the vast subcontinent.
Moscow has been successful in
planting large number of Com
munist cells throughout India.
Until the outbreak of World War
II, Indian young men who desired
higher education went in large
numbers to America, Britain,
France and Germany. When the
war broke out various regulations
imposed by those countries pre-
vented them from going West.
Moscow Steps In.
Moscow stepped into the breach
and made it known that any In
dian student desiring to study in
Russia would be given all kinds Of
facilities. These included drastic
reduction of fares to and from
their native lands, free courses Of
instruction and a very low charge
for room and board.
A large number of young Indian
intellectuals availed themselves OF
this opportunity and received thor
ough educations in such schools
as the Lenin School at Baku. The
curriculum there included thor
ough indoctrination in the Soviet
"neo-democracy." The young In
dams also were taught all that is
to be known about machine guns
and hand grenades. They were
trained to become eventually the
spearheads Of the Russian fight
against British imperialism in
India, and this, Of course, ap-
pealed to the Indian students.
After India became independent
these men shifted to interference
with the efforts Of the government
to put the nation on its feet.
Some of them now have Joined the
Indian government. but there are
still many who continue to be tools
Of U. S. S. r. intrigues. Some are
active in labor unions. while others
are working independently in va
rious parts Of the country.
The aim of the Soviet Union,
according to those who follow
these movements, Is to create such
conditions throughout the Pacific
and Indian Ocean areas that in
the event Of q head-on clash with
the West the latter will be denied
strategic materials from those
regions.

While we are disturbed by the
situation in Berlin and by the
antics of the Communist leaders
in all the Western European
countries, there is a real war going
on in most of the Far Eastern
countries. The Communists have
stepped up their military activi-
ties in Burma, where Premier
Thakin Nu stated last week that
80 900 persons already have been
killed in Communist-inspired dis
orders.

At one time they threatened Ran

In Malaga the British are hav-
ing a hard time keeping up with
the fast-moving Malayan guer-
rillas, who are well armed and
ably commanded. Their hit-and-
run tactics lead the British high
command to believe that the lead
ers are trained especially for this
kind of warfare.
Reinforcements Called.
Last year only skirmishes were
reported from Malaga, and the
British government thought they
could be dealt with by the COM
paratively small military detach-
ments they maintained there. In
the last two months important re-
Inducements had to be called to
Malaga, but there are no indica-

not justified by the facts. 1t is
understood that the President was

once it acted too quickly for him.

Mr.. Dawes said:

not prevent any Senator from

or an individual Senator from
unduly prolonging debate in order
to destroy the constitutional right

Underwood resolution will properly
and sufficiently remedy the situa-
ton, in my judgment"

that the pattern for large-scale
Government Intervention in the

that no Congress would seriously

Rejecting no doubt his own

President Truman has really taken
the United States economic pic
ture as his special pigeon. The
departmental activities Of the

met to a far greater degree than
most Presidents.

He is so reluctant to interfere that

But the President takes his
Council of Economic Advisers sert-
ously and his door is always open
to them. 1t had been feared by
some of the economic brains in
the Government that Mr.. Truman
would find their subject tedious;
he has, on the contrary. been
serious and concerned about their
reports.
The Presidents stand on infla-

by the Joint Congressional Eco
