“In order to help prevent typhoid
fever,” says health department
physicians, “It is necessary to be
vaccinated against the disease at
least every three years, and the
customary three dose method is ad
vised, the doses to be given one
week apart. Alt children should
be vaccinated as soon as they be
gin to eat and drink as do other
children and adults. No .person
gets too old to have the disease,
and having typhoid does not pro
duce immunity against the disease.
Any person can have typhoid fever
two or three times.”

the sponsors of the event to carryT-
out the celebration, decided last;
week to call it off. It was decided
that the date planned was incon-.
venient to carry out the affair witk
the greatest possible success.
The celebration, which was spon--'
sor^ by the County Teachers’ As
sociation, local Parents and Teach
ers Associations, and the County;
School Board was originally plan
ned for May 8-H, but was post
poned until May 30-June 1 when;
it was learned that Ambassador^
Josephus Darnels could not attend.
The later date was found incon
venient for the celebration because!
the teachers and school children,
would not be able to take an active*
part in the program.
The resolution calling off the
celebration read as follows: “Due«
te many causes and conditions, ib
is felt that our Homecoming May;
30, 31 and June 1st should be fur

“The Committee on Homecom
