Threatening Epidemic
1,233 FOR SMALLPOX
DipbthnrU; Many Others
Are Expected Yet
During the summer months
the Wtlkea county health depart
ment under direction of Dr. A. J
BUei^, haatth officer, set a rec-
ord~ for vaccinations and Immuni-
zationa
A threatened eepidemlc of
malignant type of typhoid swell
ed the total of immunizations
against that disease to over 8,-
000.
During the early summer
months a number of typhoid cas
es were reported and the disease
proved to be unusually severe, re
sulting in five deaths. A cam
paign of immunization was car
ried out with Dr. Eller and coun
ty nurses visiting many commun
ities for the benefit ot the peo
ple who responded In unusualty
large numbers.
The fact that two cases were
reported on the Reddles River
watershed, from which the Wil-
keeboroa get their water supply,
caused many people in the two
towns to seek immunization.
During the campaign smallpox
1,232 people w^te vaccinated.
Chlidren Immunized against
diphtheria totaled 268.
Dr. Eller said today that par
ents should have their children
vaccinated against diphtheria
now in order to ward off the di
sease during the winter when It
Is most prevalent. Several weeks
must elapse after vaccination
before complete immunity a-
gainst diphtheria is established
in the system, Dr. Eller said.

turn to Raleigh for a short time
in order that we might outline
projects to submit to Director
Winters for approval. This sug
gested plan is, of course, only
tentative and subject to change,
as we wish to meet problems and
conditions as they arise, there
fore, any plan that we make
should be flexible. After the
work gets under way, you under
stand that Mr. Van Deman will
have his headauartere at th© lab
oratory.
A suggestion was made some
time ago thi-t the growers ihad
expressed a willlngnesii. to con
tribute something toward estalb-
lighing the laboratory. I see
reason why the growers should
not participate if they wish. It
has been suggested that the
growers would like to have some
figure set for them to raise, but
I believe that the growers are in
better position to determine their
own contribution than we are.
You, of course, understand that
of the 26,000.00 appropriated for
this work the first year all above
Mr, van Deman's salary can be
