Health Department Urges Program Of Immunizations To protect the family and community against measles and other infectious diseases, child ren starting school this fall must be adequately immunized. Richard H. Wilcox, M.D., State Health Officer, warned that measles and other communica ble diseases are spread in the community primarily am o n g children in the lower grades in school who then bring diseas es home and infect pre-school youngsters. "Communicable diseases ac count for most of school ab senteeism, with measles high on the list," said Dr. Wilcox. Dr. Wilcox re-emphasized the State Board of Healh recommen dations for an ongoing program of immunization for infants and pre-school children. "Such children constitute the bulk of susceptibles in any com munity and are in turn the most effective spreaders of measles and polio. Immuniza tion against preventable diseas es is available to all residents through private physicians or public health clinics. Since effective immunization against polio has been availa ble, cases of the paralytic type have been reduced drastically. One case has been reported in Oregon this year. A recent out break in Texas saw 43 pre school children stricken with paralytic polio. Measles now remains among the preventable diseases as the major threat to young children. Up to August 20 of this year, Oregon recorded 1,710 cases, down from last year's 3,204' for the same period. "We are now getting about 400,000 reported cases of meas les in this country with about 400 deaths each year. Other ser ious complications include post measles encephalitis and brain damage," stated Dr. Wilcox. As part of the nationwide ef fort to eliminate measles among the pre-school population, the Oregon Immunization Program provides vaccine to doctors and health departments, on request, and provides personnel for pro- 1 T7' ;T fi particular gatherinq on the courthouse steps, although the sign, "Hardman." may give a clue.

Salvation Army To Launch Appeal Here Next Week The Salvation Army will launch its annual service ex tension appeal with Mrs. Major Minnie Parsons arriving in Heppner the week of September S to meet with local leaders on the work of the Army through out Morrow county. Last year through the Salva tion Army service extension, 93 days' care was provided for un married mothers from the coun ty at a cost of $692.00 at the White Shield Home and Hospit al in Portland. This is one of some 23 different services pro vided by the Salvation Army service extension, to meet the various needs of those in dis tress in Morrow county. Major Parsons, who served as an active Salvation Army offi cer for many years, has been working in the service extension division in Oregon and Southern Idaho for the past four years. In addition to briefing commu nity leaders on the work of the Army, she will meet with the Morrow county service extens ion committee to make plans for meeting needs for the com ing year. Heading the local committee is Lowell Chally. Heppner, chair man. Bill Siewert, also of Hepp ner, is treasurer and Rev. Mr. Burg of Boardman is welfare secretary. Others working on the com mittee are Judge Paul Jones, Chief Dean Gilman, Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman, Rev. Billie Alsup, Dr. L. D. Tibbies, Rev. Melvin Dixon, David Potter, Wesley Sherman, Dewey West and Eu gene P. Winters, all of Heppner. and Philip Goodall of Irrigon. This group is responsible for the administration of aid such as food, lodging, emergency medical aid, campships for the disadvantaged, dis aster aid, farm fire relief and transient aid, among others. The present campaign will in sure tunas necessary to main tain these services for Morrow county during the coming year. Contributions, which will be designated for this service ex tension work, may be mailed directly to Siewert in care of the Bank of Eastern Oregon in Heppner. Appeals are made only in areas where individual contri butions are a major source of support. None are made in com munities where the Salvation Army receives partial financial support from a United Fund. motion of the campaign. The program is supported financial ly through a Federal immuni zation grant program and is ad ministered by the Oregon State Board of Health. About half of the 60,000 doses of measles vac cine alloted to Oregon for 1966 has been distributed to doctors and health departments. Recommendati o n s by the Board of Health include protec tion against diptheria, whoop ing cough, and tetanus (DPT); smallpox; and polio before the first year, with measles shots given after one year of age. "Us ing the live attenuated strain, one shot of measles vaccine ap pears to offer life-long protec tion. But since the vaccine has been available for only three years, it may take a few life times to be sure," concluded Dr. Wilcox. Pendleton Cowboys Plan Street Show The Main Street Cowboys of Pendleton received permission last week from the Pendleton city council to "go" with their annual Pendleton Round Up Main Street free show.
