As an official of the American Medical Association re cently '.varned, “The danger that smallpox will be brough in by an international traveler is ever present. One infected person could touch off a hundred cases before it’s even known the disease is in the country” Serious outbreaks of the dis ease have recently occurred in Sweden and England as a result of infected persons entering these countries and spreading the in fection among su.sccptible people. In New York City, a boy who ar rived on a plane from overseas stopped over on his way to Can ada. Later it was found that he had become infected with small pox shortly before departure from abroad, though he had shown nc signs of the disease on arrival at the John F. Kennedy International Airport. Quick action by Public Health Service Officers prevented what might have been a serious outbreak of the-disease here. This action involved a rapid, widespread investigation of hundreds of peo ple '.iho were possibly exposed to the infection, as well as numerous vaccinations of those found sus ceptible to the disease. This year and next, many wel- ' come visitors from abroad will attend the World’s Fair, mingling with other visitors from all parts of the United States. Despite the constant vigilance of health offi cers, it is possible for recently in fected per;sons from overseas to infect susceptible individuals here, nternational Vaccination Certifi cates are required of all persons entering the United States, but these are not aways valid. Physicians recommend that chil dren be vaccinated during their first year of life. In addition, many states require that children be vaccinated before entering kin dergarten or first grade. Further, because the individual duration of protection varies, it is recom mended that revaecination b e done at least every five years. Don’t run the risk of having this preventable disease strike you and your family. Keep a re cord d£ all vaccinations and con- ■Vlt your doctor. Thousands of Flags Issued to Drape Caskets WASHINGTON, D. C. — More than 164,000 American flags used to drape the caskets of deceasci veterans were issued in 1963, the Veterans Administration said last ■v'eek. That was about 11,000 more than in the previous year when 153,183 were given out. These flags are used to drape the caskets of veterans with war time service who were discharged under conditions other than dis- honrable, or who served at least ;ne enlistment during peacetime, unless discharged or released from luty for disability in line of serv ice. Customarily these flags are giv en to next of kin, closo friends or associates of the veterans at the conclusion of the services. Flags may be obtained from VA offices and at some 15,400 post offices in this country as well as embassies, consulates, legations and missions overseas through ar- ran,gements made with the State Department, During t\e past 13 yews the number of flags issued has in creased from 81,000 annually to the more than 164,000 figure.
