RALEIGH The 1973
General Assembly has amended
the State Immunization Law,
granting die State Board of
Health authority to decide i
netber routine smallpox
vaccina t ion of children is in the
best interest of public health.
;The N. C. State Board of
Health, at its regular guarterly
meeting' in Pinehurst, has
followed through by adopting
regulations omitting smallpox
vaccination from the list of
required immunizations for
children.
flf, This action follows
recommendation by the U. S.
Public Health Service, the
American Academy of
tries, and other medical
)s that routine smallpox

MacCormack, chief of the
Communicable Disease Control
Section of the State Board of
Health, the move was based on
j. ')tlrtaiHp- afcoy a rapid
decline in the world-wide
incidence of smallpox. There
has not been a case of smallpox
reported in North Carolina
since 1948. The public health
official pointed out that the
risk of dying from smallpox in
this country is far less than
that of dying from vaccine
complications.
Dr. MacCormack cautioned,
however, that persons traveling
tt countries where smallpox
still exists will be required to
take a smallpox vaccination.

that North Carolina was in stiff
competition with Mississippi,

cooperation.
It is important to remember
that Bradley recieved,
according to reports, close to
half the white vote citywide,
and won decisively in the
liberal, Jewish-dominated
districts. He also piled up huge
margins in the black ares.
However, blacks account for
only 18 or 19 per cent of the
2.8 million residents of Los
Angeles.
Statistics show that the
other 4 blacks who have won
in major cities such
Cleveland, Ohio, Gary, Indiana,
Kenneth Gibson of Newark, N.
J. and of course, Walter
Washington if D. C. (who is
appointed) have won in cities
where a gnat proportion of the
electorate an Macks. On the
other hand then are also black
politicans who share Bradley's
ability to win in white-majority
districts such as Edward
Brooke of Massachusetts and
Wilson Riles, state
superintendent of. public
instruction in California.
It would seem that
incumbent Mayor Sam Yorty
made Bradley's task somewhat
easier by the alienating rhetoric
espoused by him and his
political cohorts. This certainly
helped to alienate a wide
spectrum of voters it seems.
Bradley used the moderate
and sober approach to engage
the voters in seeking out the
best candidate and it appears
that very little radicalism was
espoused.
Bradley has "lived in the
system" and as he says, he
believed in the gospel of hard
work.

His campaign revolved
around eradicating some of the
violence and other troubles in
the city high schools as well as
the environmental issues which
cut across all party lines. In the
environmental arena, he
opposed incumbent Yorty in a
proposal to drill for oil near
the beach ana of Pacific
Palisades. With the rising
number of oil slicks on the
beach areas the voters, of
course, in these sections went
all out against Yorty.
It would seem that Thomas
'Bradley's election to the chief
executive position in Los
Angeles signals at least some
progress toward racial
harmony. It points up though,
that hard work and a belief in
the system can pay off and this
incentive is needed more than
ever as we look to the 200th
year of our founding. Credit
must also be given to the
federal civil rights legislation
and the growing political
sophistication of many voters
as they seek to choose
individuals to support.
At his first news conference,
Bradley hailed the result as
proof that the people of Los
Angeles had risen above the
irrelevant, factors of race and
religion" and made their choice
on the basis of achievement
and promise. Further, he said
"I believe for the young people
it has great significance. Far
too many have been turned off
