Fine Piece of Work is Being
Done by Local Health
Demonstration
(Continued from Pax L)
minimum; and to show the wis
dom ot such a measure, they
point to the state of Pennsylvania
where Tacclnatlon la compulsory
and' where not a single case f
smallpox appeared last year. In
New York, where one seta "shot"
whether or no, only two cases ap
peared last year. Bat although Ma
rion county has had more than its
hare of the disease, not a single
school has been closed due to an
epidemic, either of smallpox or
any other disease, ' since the de
monstration came in.
Careful Precautions
Taken by Officers
During a revival campaign in
a Salem church several months
ago, a case of smallpox develop
ed. The county health officer im
mediately started o find and vac
cinate every pemra who had at
tended the meeting or in other
way come in contact with the pa
tient. Before his work was fin
ished, the health officer had vac
c einated more than 100 persons.
After one of the mid week prayer
cervices, the minister of the
church announced that the phys
ician and health nurse were wait
ing to racelhate all present And
they did.
In following up. smallpox cases,
the physician tries to reachevery
person with whom the-patient had
been in contact the four or five
days prior to outbreak of the case.
If such persons do not wish to be
vaccinated, they are placed in
quarantine until after the period
of incubation. AH this precaution
is taken because to miss one single
contact may mean start of an
epidemic.
Systematic Warfare
Waged on Diphtheria
Diptheria, a more dreaded dis
ease than smallpox, has been sub
ject of another of the demonstra
tion's relentless warfares. As a re
sult, number of cases has been
reduced and wot a single death
Jiaa occurred in the last two and a
half years. The program was not
started until 1926, and in the next
three years, 6,116 completed im
munizations wye made. In 1926,
there were 7 cases of diphtheria
and three deaths; in 1927, 41 cas
es and one death; and in 1928, 23
cases atfd no deaths. But the fig
ures .on diphtheria prior to the
immunisation, program tell a dif
ferent tale In 1923, 19 deaths
resulted from. 249 cases; in 1924, i
there were 265 cases and 17
deaths; in 192C, 165 cases brought
17 deaths-
Quarantine Necessary
Tor Both Diseases
The same control measures tak
en in smallpox hold in diphtheria,
as soon as a case appears, It is
quarantined, and all possible con
tacts are sought and cultures of
their throats taken to determine
whether or not positive diphtheria
germs are present. If positive cul
tures are obtained, cultures are
ispeated until three consecutive
negative ones show. Diphtheria, as
everyone knows, is often transmit
ted by a carrier; that is, a per
aoa who has not the disease him
self, but who harbors active diph
theria germs In his throat, nose or
ars. A few carries have been
found in Marion county.
Diphtheria may be milk born,
and come not from the handler
but from tire cow itself. Such an
Instance happened in an adjoin
ing county where a small epidem
ic was eventually traced to a milk
route, cultures showed none of the
handlers were the carries. Next the
row's udders were examined and
gave a nositive dinhtheria. Hib
charge. This care is unusual to be
sure, but serves to show how hard
it sometimes la to trace tnnrcA of
diphtheria and incidentally, is a
euoa argument xor pasteurization
of milk.

(Continued from Page 1.)
for street and bridge repair, the
mayor was quoted as having
written:
"I suggest that during the com
ing and ensuing years one-fourth
of this levy (one-half ot one mill)
' be set aside for bridge purposes.
Such an appropriation would aug
- nient the bridge fund by approxi
mately $8700 a year, or sufficient
to permit ot the permanent cen
struction of at least one small
bridge a year and meet the ex
pence of maintaining the. old
wooden structures until such time
as they caa he permanently re
placed." .
- The charter amendment au
thorizing the two-mill levy says it
Is fo rthe purpose of repairing
bridges, streets, - alleys, culverts
and crosswalks in said city . . .
provided that no part of said
funds shall be expended for any
other purpose than herein pro
vided." As. to the mayor's refusal to
sign warrants, councllmen pointed
out that it the council should au

sua CHORUS
IS ORGANIZED
Epley Invites Both Boys and
Girls to Take Part in
Music Activities
Dr. H. C. EDlev beran th
eighth year of juvenile chorus
wora in balem Wednesday night,
when he met with over a hnnrtrM
young folk from the age of 11
years up, in the lecture room of
the Y. M. C. A.
For the past seven Tears Dr.
Epley has sponsored a boys' chor
us with great success. Each year
these choruses have rnntrihntmi
whatever money they have taken
in tarough concerts, to various
civic projects.
This yearhe chorus will have
two new phases. It will give all
its money made with concert of
ferings to the endowment fund of
the Y. M. C. A., and it will be a
mixed Cttorua OaWboth hnva and
girls' voices rather than just boys'
voices as it Das been in the nast
seven years.
A special invitation is helnir
to all the young folk of the out
lying communities of Salem to
come and loin the rhnrm tMq
year. Dr. Epley feels that Salem
should support a chorus of 500
voices ana ne is working toward
that end. He ha
William McGilchrist, Sr., and O.
u". Mrs. Ted Gordon will
be the accompanist
The grouo will meet evrv Wed
nesday night at 7:30 o'clock. The
strsi z minutes will be under the
direction of Bob Boardman of the
. . U. A., who will drill the
chorus in fancy drills which will
bemused for formation "work dur
ing chorus concerts. Following the
umi practice tne group will sing
would hare to be paid. The only
question would be as to whether
it should come out of the bridge
bond fund. In a recent supreme
court decision, it was held that
payments may be made out of
city funds even though the officer
authorized to sign warrants re
fises to do so, it was stated by
these councllmen.

Fall Liquidation
Is Unusually Slow
The usual fall liquidation has
been abnormally slow this year,
due to the late fall and the'heaw
fruit crop in the western part of
tne state. Hants have experienced
a very active yet healthy demand
for money to assist in the harvest
and to handle the fruit crop. The
liquidation ot loans in Eastern
Oresun has also been alow. In
general the bankers are appreci
ating, especially those in the west
ern part of the state, that this Is
an opportune time to realize on
the liauidation of a considerable

''China as seen by a social scien

given by Dean R. R. Hewitt of
Willamette university at a church
dinner at the First Preabyterlal
church last -night. It was "China
night" at the church. Hanging
Chinese lanterns, rugs and bric-a-brac
from China were decorative
features. Thoe who served wore
Imitation Chinese garb, and Chi.
nese noodles were the leading
dish on the menu.
Describing conditions as he saw
them in China, Dean Hewitt ex
pressed little hope for the solu
tion of the social problems there
except through birth control.
"Why feed a starving woman back
to life." he asked, "if she will sim

frankly ot the need of adapting

carry the message ot human ser
vice and brotherhood, rather than
the philosophy which the Chinese
