M. Brown, medical health officer. This is a state of affairs about which we may feel some gratification, but if it passes on to a state of apathy which is apparently the case with some par- ents, we can no longer remain com- placent and indeed view this trena with some alarm. The efficacy of vaccination in pre- venting smallpox has heen so thor= oughly proven oyer a period of 150 years that even the cranks rarely squeak. We recommend that children should be vaccinated at around six months of age as reactions are fewer at this time. For every death that occurs from Diphtheria today we had 35 before immunization was introduced, ‘Those who die from this disease are among the non-immunized. No deaths should occur among those who are within reach of a public health nurse or a doctor because immunization can be guaranteed to prevent the disease, but still deaths do occur. In 1950, the death rate from Diphtheria was four times as high in Canada as it was in England and Wales. A fact like this is enough to jolt us out of our com- placency. It may be argued that geo- graphical differences may account for this discrepancy between the two death rates in part, no doubt. this is true but nevertheless in that yeaf 98% of the population of British’ Columbia received Public wealth! Nursing coverage. The protection that immunization against Whooping Cough affords is not quite so complete as it is in the case of Diphtheria and Smallpex, but it does give over 90% protection against contracting the disease. Deaths among the immunized are very rare, As most deaths from Diph- theria and Whooping Cough occur in the first two years of life it is impera- tive that immunization should com- mence early. We urge that the first injection should be given at the age of three months. You may obtain protection from these diseases by immunization from|* either your own doctor or at your Health Unit office. In Williams Lake, Cariboo Sear Roams Vancouver Streets The steer that was featured in recent Vancouver newspaper stories as it eluded its would-be captors for seven days, was a product of the Cariboo ranges. G. B. Duke of Forest Grove was unloading cattle at the B.C. Live- stock yards when the wild two: old Hereford jumped from the truck and started its search. for freedom. For two days thé animal roamed along the B.C. Blectrie interurban tracks. It then headed for the bright lights and although the steer’s pres- ence was reported time after time. it had always disappeared when police checked on the reports. Final- ly the animal was cornered in the backyard of a private home, where it was shot by cattle dealer Jack Turnbull and the carcass hauled to the original packinghouse destina- tion, the hours for immunization at the Cariboo Health Unit office are from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. every Friday. Dormitory News (A column submitted by the Dormitory Council) A second dormitory party of the year was held on October 7 in the ‘lining room of the dormitory, with an attendance of 80 town and dormi- tory students. Music was provided by Jimmy Petrie on his accordian ac- companied by Mrs. Boyce ou the ‘piano, also a few popular records ‘were played. The square dances were called by Hattie Bliss. Refreshments, which consisted of sandwiches, cake and coffee, were served by Dorothy Millar, Lorna Gardener, Anita Gibbs und Ross Smith. The proceeds of 15¢ per person went to help pay for a record played which we are purchas- ing from Cariboo Home Furnishings. The party ended with the singing of God Save The Queen, and everyone departed with the thoughts of the enjoyable evening. We are glad to hear that Gloria Hillyer and Dorothy Millar are out of the hospital and will soon be back with us. We are very sorry that Joan Me- Neil has been moved from the dor- mitory to the hospital and hope she will be back with us soon. “PERFECT” —Central Press Canacian Through - two world wars, depressions and all other world catastrophies, the search for a perfect apple has been continued at Vineland.
