The OHEGON STATESMAN. SaW Oregon, Friday Xlonto. Hay !,'m3 PAGE fTVE PARENTS H R TO GURB FEVER State Board of Health Gives Out Bulletin Stressing Precautions With several case of scarlet fe ver reported dover the county In I recent weeks particularly timely la the current bulletin of the state Board of health which Is devoted to prevention of this disease. The bulletin says: The most effective means of revesting the spread of scarlet ever rests with the parent, if All parents would but take a mln te each mornlaato look at their children, particularly their noses and throats, and inquire as to how they feel and would keep them away from other children whenever they have such symp toms as a sore- throat, headache, nausea, watery or inflamed eyes, a spotted or "strawberry" tongue, or rash, much would be accom plished In preventing the spread ef not only scarlet fever but oth er communicable diseases as well. The Dick Test Is a skin test, very similar 'to the Schick Test In diphtheria, which will deter mine whether or not a child is likely to contract scarlet feTer if exposed to it. The result of the test Is observed or "read" 24 hours after It has been gives. A negative Dick Test means that the child has protection and is not likely to contract scarlet fe ver. A positive test, of course, means that the child is suscepti ble and therefore likely to con tract the disease is exposed to it. In general a rather large number f children under 10 years of age will be found susceptible to scar let fever and a smaller number ver ten years of age. There are two kinds of protec tion which can be effected, pas sive and active immunity. Pas sire Immunity is fchort time pro tection used only to protect the child who bag been exposed to the disease. It lasts but a short time, probably not over two weeks. Passive immunity against scarlet fever may be effected by convalescent scarlet fever serum er by scarlet fever antitoxiD. Active immunity means long time protection. From three to four weeks must elapse after the last dose bas been given before protection is fully developed. Since not all children are suscep tible to scarlet fever the Dick Test should be made before at tempting active immunization and obviously the child to whom Dick toxin is given should be re-Dick tested, a month or more after the last dose has been given, to deter mine whether or not protection has been effected. Dick toxin is given In either 5 doses, given 10 days or two weeks apart, or five doses given one .week apart.

MMeBsnmmmmmmnmmnnann king What rus into debt means to municipalities In 1911 the State of Oregon had practically no general indebtedness. Today it is said to have in excess pf $150,000,000. Its municipal obliga tions now exceed $60,000,000 and yet on the ballot May 16th the pub lic of Salem is asked to vote on a proposal to take over the Salem water system by a bond issue of $1,200,000. You realize, of course, that in the long run it is the taxpayer who must meet these obligations. It is not a matter of sentiment to turn down this proposal by voting "no," but it is a matter of economy, for the water system is in the hands of a well financed, efficiently organ ized concern which has the means and the engineering capabilities to provide a better water system for Salem than could be had through the limited resources and man power of the municipality. Following is a reprint from Salem Statesman, March 22, 1930, of state ment by Thomas B. Kay, State Treasurer: STATE TREASURER ISSUES WARNING AGAINST HEAVY BONDING OF MUNICIPALITY "Ever since 1 have occupied the office of State Treasurer' said Kay, 1 have tried to be exceptionally cautious about investing trust funds of the State in municipal bonds. The State, however, holds a number of bonds bought by previous administrations which may sooner or later cause difficulty. "Only recently one of the smallest cities defaulted on all of its bond issues, and the taxpayers of another municipality bonded for more than $450,000 for all purposes refused to approve an issue of refunding bonds to pay oft the ma ruring issues of street improvement bonds, for which funds were not available for retirement of the original bonds. 'It has been altogether too easy to vote bond issues for public improve ments under our liberal laws, but now that the dance is finished the munici palities are going to find difficulty in providing the cash to pay the fiddler. "I do not want to be regarded as a pessimist or as representing that in the State of Oregon we are confronted with a Chicago situation with respect to the indebtedness of our municipalities, but the situation is present with us as it is with nearly every other section of the country. It is a natural reaction which is bound to follow an era of reckless spending, and we might as well face the issue and make the best of it bad as that best might be." The total general bonded indebt edness for Salem is already $990,500. (This does not include indebtedness of $1,Q3$408 70 for street improve ments.) This .proposed new bond issue to purchase the water system would increase Salem's general in debtedness by approximately 125. If you do not wish to increase the bonded indebtedness of Salem by $1,200,000, and thus increase the indirect indebtedness of every tax payer in the city, vote "NOP on that - proposal on the ballot that Salem buy the water system at this time.
