April 27 29, 1979 at,the Radisson Plaza Hotel A .Catastrophe Waiting To Happen? A recent survey among school children acroes the state revealed a hidden pro-' blem that could be a catastro phe just waiting to happen An estimated 180.000 child ren in grades six to 12 are not fully protected against the "deadly six" childhood disea ses: polio, measles, rubella (German measles), diphther ia. whooping cough, and teta nus These children constitute a potential for epidemics that could be among the worst this state has ever seen. Earlier this year, for example, an outbreak of measles in just one of our counties numbered 40 cases before an emergency effort could—Kririg it nnripr control. This type of thing, health authorities assure us. could happen at any time with any of these contagious disea ses. State law requires all begin ning students to show proof of vaccination before admit tance. thus placing responsibi r lity for enforcement of a health law on school officials. Clearly, some school authori / ties have been lax in their J duty, or we wouldn't have so many apparently unprotected students in school today. As a society, we will not tolerate even one case of smallpox in North .Carolina, yet many adults appear to be willing to accept the risks of twisted limbs, loss of hearing, brain damage, and even death, from polio, measles, and other diseases that can be prevented as easily as small pox The shots are safe and available from your family doctor, or free of charge at the County Health Department. State health officials are urging school authorities to take strong, positive action to get proof of vaccination from all students, and to exclude from school those who have not been vaccinated until they correct the situation. The state's Attorney General has held that this is permissible so long as parents have been given adequate opportunity to do what is right before the child is suspended This approach can be effect ive. Last year in Alaska, over 89.()00 students were excluded from school for failure to meet immunization requirements. Two weeks later only 201 remained out for this reason, and in two more weeks less than SO. We like to think that not a single parent in this county would deliberately expoee a child to disease, or to expul sion from school But. para phrasing the old saying, "The road to catastrophe is paved with good intentions." A seat belt can't help you unless it is buckled; the fc«st vaccine in the world is no good sitting in the refrigerator. We must be more concerned about these diseases. We must do everything we can to preventthe catastrophe that could happen among our young who have not been properly vaccinated.

During the sixties,we lowered your rates six times. But times have changed. Today, the cost of almost everything that's required to provide your electricity is climbing higher and higher. Power plants. Transformers. Poles. Fuel. The rising cost of electricity, like the higher prices you're paying for just about everything, is a symptom of one of our nation's most serious problems— inflation. And until we can beat that, the cost of everything will continue to climb. All across the country. Some ways we're trying to overcome inflation: We design and build our own power plants. And we do it at a lower cost than any other power company in the country.We produce more power with less fuel, too. Our generating efficiency has been the best of any major power company for six of the past eight years. And second best the other two years. Wfe're building nuclear power plants. They produce electricity cheaper than other types of plants. A lot cheaper. And we've launched a program to keep the demand for electricity, and the need for expensive new generating plants, from going up so fast. Making the best of a bad situation. Wd like to say all these things will keep the cost of electricity from going up. But they won't. Electric rates, along with the prices you pay for other things you use and need,will continue to climb until inflation is brought under control. But because of the things we're doing,what you pay for electricity is still a lot less than what other people are paying across the country. Wfe'll do all we can to keep it that way. That's a promise. DUKEPOWER
