FIFTY
Measles Are Making Rounds;
Here's Some Information
With measles making the rounds
in the county, parents might find
1 the following facts about the disr |
j ease useful.
The Information was supplied
' by the Macon County Health Cen
ter.
Measles, or roseola, Is one of
the most common of the communi
! cable diseases. The name is fre
quently confused with German
Measles, or Rubella, which is an
entirely different and less severe
disease, although it does produce
certain similar symptoms.
Measles Is so highly contagious
that practically no one escapes
having it sooner or later. Most of
the cases occur before the age
of 10 years. The mortality rate
is low except In extremely young
children; however, serious com
plications can occur at any age.
Most measles deaths are caused
by pneumonia. Other complica
tions are bronchitis and ear -infec
tions.
The symptoms of this disease
resemble those of a cold the first
I few days, gradually increasing in
; severity, with an irregular, stead
I ily rising fever. On about the
I fourth day, the skin' eruption ap
pears. It occurs first on the face
and neck and during the next 24
to 48 hours spreads to the chest
and extremities. The fever usual
ly falls after the rash has stop
ped spreading, although the
cough, watery eyes, and nasal dis
charge last several more days.
The rash consists of spots that
are raised only slightly above the
surface of the skin. The spots
are pinhead size when they first
appear and soon grow larger so
that many of them run together
to form irregular blotches. The
color is pink the first day or two
and then slowly turns red, then
brown. About one week after the
rash appears the skin may begin
to peel in fine bran-like flakes.
A person who is Infected with
measles can spread the disease to
others for 24 to 48 hours before
the symptoms appear. Since these
first symptoms are not much dif
ferent -from those of a cold, it
often happens that such a person
spreads the disease to many other
individuals before he is isolated.
That is the reason why it is al
most impossible to escape infec
tion permanently.
There is no vaccine available at
present for producing permanent
immunity against measles. Such
immunity comes only after an at
tack of the disease. Second at
tacks are very rare. A certain
amount of temporary immunity is
inherited by babies of mothers
who have had measles. This lasts
until about the age of six months.

Social Security Man
Coming In February
R. Lee All top, field representa
tive of the Asheville Social Secur
ity Administration, will be at the
Agriculture Building in Franklin
qn February 3-4- and 17-18.
He Is coming here on the; re
quest of many Macon County
farmers receiving Social Security
checks, who are asking the ques
tion, "Do we have to continue to
file tax returns and pay Social
Security taxes"?
Mr. Alltop said many farmers
receiving checks are asking if ad
ditional tax payments will in
crease the amount of the checks
payable.
He said that this might be true
in some cases, but that a review of
the tax return would be necessary
before any change could be put
into effect. In no ease would bene
fits be stopped or reduced by low
er earnings or by reason of no
earnings at all.
