Pre-School Roundup Is Planned
Since spring is now here, we
have ? beautiful garden ready
to view won? our 400 or more
pre-schoolers who will be first
grader* next fall. In their gay
prints, "buttons and Bows" they
soon will be attending Pre
school Round-Ups to get ac
quainted with new frienda and
new surroundings as a step to
ward enrolling in the school of
their community.
The Round-Up is held mainly
to help your child get acquaint
ed with the school, the teacher,
and the other children regard
less of where they get their
physical examination. Certain
legal requirements will be met
long before time for school to
begin, going back to infancy.
Dr. Mary Michal, local health
director, points out that North
Carolina State law require*, Art
9, Sec. 130-87, that all children
must be immunized against
whooping cough, diphtheria, and
tetanus before one year of age
and smallpox before attending
school. Later, Sec. 130-93.1 re
quires immunization against po
lio between 2 months and 6
years.
Basic immunization, including
smallpox ahould be completed
before one year of age, after
which booster doses (at certain
interval*), are neceaaary to keep
immunity good? smallpox every
9 to 7 years, diphtheria-tetanus
every S to 5 years and polio ev
ery 2 years.
The child over 1 year of age
reacts more severely to immun
izing procedures, especialy
smallpox, than the younger in
fant. Also an older child is
more apt to have some skin con
dition requiring the smallpox
vaccination to be delayed, and
will also be apt to scratch and
spread the infection from the
vaccination site. Most private
physicians advise Starting im
munisations at the age of 2 to
3 months.
Dr. Michal states that it is
most important that each pre
school child be given a complete
physical examination preferably
by the family physician and also
a check-up by bis dentist. The
family physician who has been
supplied with the examination
forms, is best equipped to exam
in the pre-school child as he is in
a position to know the child's
past history of health and Ill
nesses and the family history.
Dr. Michal will only examine

W. Guy Angell, Watauga coun
ty superintendent of schools, in
announcing Pre-School Round

ing attention to the state law
requiring a child to be immun
ised fully against whooping
cough, diphtheria, tetanus, po
