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.
