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-

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.
