tle disputes between landlord and
tenant with a minimum of red
tape. Mr. Lewis reported that the
new procedure has resulted in
speedy settlement of complaints,
with justice to landlord and ten
ant alike.
“Surprisingly enough,” Mr.
Lewis commented, “both landlord
and tenant usually leave the con
ferences happy and satisfied. When
tenant and landlord discuss their
grievances face to face, both seem
to learn to appreciate the other’s
problems.”
Rent regulations provide that a
tenant may be entitled to sue a
landlord for triple damages where
rents in excess of the legal ceil

Tenants who feel their rents are
excessively high may obtain infor

rector said. Landlords who be
lieve they are entitled to an in
crease in rent may obtain infor

Vaccination for typhoid fever
may be given to any age group a

whooping cough should be giv

vaccination against diphtheria and
whooping cough may be given in
a combined dose and repeated
monthly until three doses have
been administered, or they may be
given separately. A booster dose
should be given at two to three
years of age and again at 5 1-2 to
6 years of age before the child
enters school. Typhoid fever vac
cination is given in three doses at
7 days intervals, and a booster
should be administered each year
thereafter.
