URGES CHILD
IMMUNIZATION
State Board of Health Recon-
mends First Dose of Toxoid
at Age 6 to 9 Months
FIGHT DIPHTHERIA

DR.. Charles P. Knight, Acting
Director of the Division of Matern-
al and Child Health, State Board
of Health, recently urged that
mothers review immunization rec
ords once more with determination
to remove diphtheria from the list
of menaces to their children.
Diphtheria is a disease resulting
from neglect, because children i'm
munized against it are, in most
cases, safe. It is dangerous and
catching. Children are most de-
fenseless under years of age. The
very young child is in greater
danger because not only is he more
likely to get the disease, but he is
more apt to die than the older
ones.
Diphtheria is caused by a germ
that grows in the nose and throat
where it manufacturers a power
full poison which, when dumped in
to the blood stream, may attack
the heart muscles causing serious
damage. This toxin may also cause
Inflammation of such intensity to
some nerves that type of para1y-
sis, known as peripheral neuritis,
may result.
The disease develops any time UP
to five days following exposure.
There may be slight fever, chir1s,
sore throat, aching pains, head
aches and vomiting in varying de-
grees. Sometimes the symptoms
are so mild that some Of the less
serious diseases such as tonsilitis
or laryngitis are suspected; how
ever, great danger still exists, be-
cause this very mild display may
cause delay in the vital early
treatment or needless exposure to
others.
DIR. knight was emphatic in stat
ing that timely immunization mea-
sures are important. The first dose
of toxoid should be given to infants
6 to 8 month of age. Three to six
months after immunization, they
should be given the Schick test. |
Two or three years after the first |
immunization, another Schick test
or another immunization treat
ment should be given to make sure
that protection is lasting. 1t is wise
to see that children have reinforc-
ing doses on entering school for
the first time, and at IL years of
age
Parents must not make the mis-
take of thinking that their babies
are safe because the death rate
from diptheria has been so drama
tically reduced. When all babies
are immunized before the ninth
month of their lives, the conquest
against diphtheria will be accom-
plished.

for safety's sake, and you at Ford

address before the National Con-
ference of Christians and Jews.
The Conference met here to map
plans for Brotherhood Week. to
be held in February. 1850.
President Truman said he ask
ed the Federal Government to
participate actively in efforts to
achieve greater justice for minor
ity groups. He stated: II do not
see how we can do otherwise than
adopt such legislation. If we
look at ourselves in the true spirit
of brotherhood, we must acknow-
ledge that in the United States
there are instances of discrimina-
ton and injustice because of diff
ference in color, religion or ma
tional origin. But we are work
ing diligently to overcome these
violations of the fundamental
faith which holds us together. 1t
is encouraging to see that Ameri-
cans all over the country are
growing more and more aware of
the Importance of this problem.
The first step of every enemy
of this country has always been
to separate the. different strands
of faith and belief out of which
this nation has been woven. Our
enemies have tried to set group

to create prejudice and distrust
among our people. All the faiths

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
NORRIS DOES IT


Great came to our town. Sure.
you've heard of this Samson! He
calls himself the Great to distin-
cuish himself from that mere
piker of strength who was the
Biblical Samson. He was the one
who fell for Delilah. Samson the
Great has felt great because he
has never allowed himself to fall
for any female creature in that
way. But in our town he fell
for Morris and what a fall it
was.
Samson the Great had come to
our town to give a big show of
his strength. The stage was fill
ed with heavy objects which,
with no effort at all, he picked up
one after another. With one
hand he lifted a piano and held
it at arms length. Then he pick
ed up full-grown truck horse
to the height of his shoulders.
Thus he went from strength to
strength until he came to his
magnum opus.
He picked up an orange. It
looked grotesquelY absurd for
him to be taking up the incense
quential weight of an orange
after what he had done with the
piano and the truck horse. The
audience rewarded him with lus-
tY laughter.
This is no laughing matter, !"
he said. "You are about to see
the final and most amazing act of
my prodigious strength. You
amt seen nothin' yet, please ex-
cuse the expression"
He explained: In a moment
he would give a demonstration
Of strength never tried by any
other strong man. With one
squeeze he would squeeze all the
juice out of this orange to the
last drop There will be not
drop of juice left after my
squeeze" He had been per-
forming this feat all around the
country and everywhere he had
offered $1,000 to any one who
could squeeze one more drop Of
juice out of the orange after he
was through with it.
Everywhere the strongest men
had come up to the stage but not
one had been able to squeeze an
other drop out of the orange that
Samson the Great had drained
dry. He still had the $1,000.
Now he was about to give the
act in our town. He took the
orange between the palms of his
hands and squeezed it even with
more than the strength that had
lifted the upright piano and the
massive truck horse. The juice
poured into a glass. In no more
tnan second Samson the Great
was holding up the empty shell
OF the orange for all to see.
Ladies and gentlemen" he
said, there's not drop of juice
lett l challenge all of you:
nere's $1,000 in crisp $10O bills
ten 500 bills-that I will prompt
" nand over to any one in this
audience who can squeeze one
more drop of juice out of this
orange"
One and another citizen came
onward out of the audience,
one and another squeezed the
O'anse with all strength but not
another drop fell.
