Parents Urged To
V accinate Child
Have your children receiv
ed all their vaccinations for
childhood diseases? If not, or
if you’re not sure, the Center
for Disease Control of the
Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare urges you
to check with your doctor or
health department and have
the child fully protected.
problem is that now
such diseases can be preven
ted, people are no longer
afraid of them and become lax
about having their children
vaccinated.
As a result, many children
remain needlessly vulnerable
to serious disease, and deaths
and serious disability still
occur from these preventable
diseases. In fact, there are so
many unvaccinated children
I that we once again face the
threat of local epidemics.
What diseases should
children be vaccinated
against? The Center for
Disease Control lists seven
polio, measles, mumps, ru
bella, diphtheria, tetanus and
pertussis (whooping cough).
Safe, effective vaccines are
available for all these di
seases.
As a rule, the sooner a
child can be vaccinated, the
better. Some of the vaccines,
such as polio, should be
started when the infant is oniy
about two months old. Others,
such as measles, should not
be given during the first year
of life, but should be given as
soon after the child’s first
birthday as possible.
The reason for early
vaccination is that children
are in many cases very
susceptible to the diseases
when they are young and
become more severely ill if
they get the disease. If an
epidemic strikes it is likely to
hit hardest and spread most
quickly among young child
ren* Parents who put off
vaccination until the child is
ready for school are making a
serious mistake and gambling
needlessly with their child
ren’s lives. If a child should

vaccinations in his earlier
years and is already in school,
it is still not too late for
vaccination. Schools are
prime places for the spread of
disease and unprotected
school-age children should
definitely be considered can
didates for vaccination.
Unvaccinated children,
and children whose parents
are not sure about the
vaccination period, should be
taken to their physician or
health department without
delay.
Chain Letters With
Bicentennial Twist
Fraudulent chain letters
have been around for many
years, but odds are better now
that you may receive one, this
time with a Bicentennial
theme, according to Burns
ville Postmaster Phillip
Banks.
“A scheme, which in
volves the mailing of U.S.
Savings Bonds, has shown up
in major urban centers of
Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Maryland, Virginia and Flor
ida” Banks said.
“The letter with the
, Bicentennial gimmick,' 1 the
postmaster explained, “urges
those receiving it to mail
52.00-SI.OO for each 100
years—to the person whose
name is first on the list in
celebration of our .nation’s
200th birthday.”
"Chief Postal Inspector C.
Neil Benson has informed us
that actual profits from chain
letters are usually obtained
only by those who originate or
enter the scheme very early,”
Postmaster Banks said.
Chain letters requesting
money or other items of value
are non-mailable under the
Federal Mail Fraud Statute.
They are considered to be
fraudulent because of the
likelihood that the chain will
be broken and most partici
pants will get nothing from
Firemen t
To Give
Free TV
A portable TV will be
given free by the Bakersville
Volunteer Fire Department to
the person holding the lucky
ticket to the Texas Wrestling
Matches, purchased at the
door of the Bowman High
Gym on Saturday, April 10, at
8:00 p.m. Texas Wrestling is
sponsored by the Bakersville
VFD and consists of a six-man
tag team match-one hour
limit.
Teams featured are Little
Joe, Indian Harry and Coun
try Boy Enos vs. The Wild
I Man, Ken Dakota and Sam
Sloan. The Texas Tornado
Death Match—No ,holds bar
red, winner takes entire
purse-features Rex Darnell
and Chief Warcloud vs.
Cowboy John Preston and his
Hired Guns. A Rugged 4-man
tag match-one hour limit,
features Buddy Russell and
Ronnie Freeman vs. The
Black Owl and George Hytt.
The free portable TV offer
is void to all Bakersville
firemen and families and to till
wrestlers and same. All
others who buy a ticket at
Texas Wrestling this coming
Saturday are eligible. Come
and have some fun.
their involvement.
Typically, the chain letter
requires each of its recipients
to sell or mail copies/ to a
specified number of others,
who would also be asked to
continue the chain of mail
ings. Usually, the chain
expands so rapidly that the
number of prospects is soon
exhausted.
For example, a chain letter
requiring each purchaser to
send copies to six others
would theoretically reach thf
entire literate population of
th6 earth by the time it
reached its 12th link.
The fact that chain letters
are not mailed does noi
exclude the scheme from'
being a violation of law if the
scheme involves the mailing
of bonds or other valuable
items.
On the other hand, so 4
called chain letters which calf
for nothing more than recipes,*
picture post cards and the
like, are ordinarily considered
to be mailable because th®
items sent do not constitute 4
“thing of value” under j
applicable law. However*
postal cards involving “good
luck” chain prayers thatl
contain a threat of bad luck m
those who break the chain arel
prohibited because it is?
