HEALTH OFFICER CITES NX LAW Seek* Cooperation In Immunization Of Children With the number of children immunized against dyphtheria continuing to grow, Dr. M. B. H. Michal, district health Officer, this week called the public's at tention to the state laws gov erning immunizations. Meanwhile, Mrs. Gladys Mae Shope, county health nurse, re ported that 51 additional chil dren were given the diphtheria "shots" at the health depart ment's regular clinic last Sat urday, 37 more at Monday's clinic, and that about 225 were immunized at the Cullasaja school at a school examination and clinic held there last week. The law, Dr. Michal pointed out, requires the parent or guardian of every child in North Carolina to have the child im munized against diphtheria and whooping cough between the ages of six mon hs and one year. It also forbids any teach er to accept a chi'd in school without certificates showing these immunizations, plus a cer tificate of vaccination against smallpox. The law makes viola tion a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine or imprisonment, or both. "It is important to remem ber", Dr. Michal said, that in fants between six months and one year of age "is very sus ceptible to all contagious dis eases, and that he responds very well to immunization pro cedure. Also at this age any reaction to Immunization is mild, therefore let us keep in mind that our child needs com pelte immunization against whooping cough and diphtheria "Let's protect our children at the age they need it mpst and when their reaction to the im munization is the least. The longer we put it off, the hard er for them and, If begun after one year of age, we have neg lected our duty as parents. None of us want to be reminded of our duty by law enforcement."

When chartered In 1746 what U now known as Princeton Uni versity was called thf college of New Jersey. teEFCAmE^ PAY BEST N THIS REGION Extn;iicn Specialist Cites j Records Of 250 Farms Beef cattle were the most proUtable enterprise in 2S0 unit tesc demonstration farms In Western Carolina during 1948, according to T. K. Jones, farm management specialist at State college. Mr. Jones bases this statement on a summary of demonstration farm record books from 14 counties. Dairy farms ranked second in profitableness, followed by truck, tabaccc, poultry, and general In the order named. Farm income, the difference between receipts and expenses, averaged $1961 on 34 beef fapms and qnly $964 "It 64 general far.ns. With Interest charges on Inves ment deducted, qperators of the beef farms received $1188 for their lcibgr and man agement, compared with $402 on general farms. Including the value of farm products used in the home, the beef cattle tam ers earned $2146 whl'e the gen eral farmers earned $1300. Mr. Jones says the beef cattle farms were the most profitable because they had a larger busi ness than any other tvpe and because they had a good com bination of enterprises. They had a larger average acreage of open land and more animal units of lltwock. Open land averaged tt.8 acre* on b?cf fa-ma compared with 58 8 on. dairy farms. The beef cattle farmers had 22.2 animal units of livestock while the dairy tinners had 14.2. The beef farmers had a larg er acreage of burley tobacco than any other type except the tobacco farms. Mr. Jones points out that tobacco Is a good en terprise to combine wi h beef cattle; It Is an intensive enter prise requiring little land and a great dea! of labor, while beef cattle require considerable land and li tie labor. The analyst adds that failure of the tobacco farms to earn high incomes ^as not the fault of the tobacco enterprise. The tobacco farmer*, he says, failed to add enough luppiementary enterprises which would btw returned more Income through fuller utilization of available land, labor, and capital. A cord of seasoned wood will give as much heat as a ton of coal, and leave about one quarter the amount of ashea.
