Scourge Fighters
Needed By Army
The Alaskan Department re
cruiting office located at Fort
Richardson, Alaska, announced to
day that the U. S. army medical
department has an urgent need
for trained personnel in that
branch of the service. Openings
are now available for enlistment
of young men, 17 to 35 years of
age, to be trained in this, the most
humane, branch of the armed serv
ices.
Accompanying this announce
ment was a detailed report of the
little publicized battle waged
against influenza — influenza, the
scourge of the human race—the
taker of 20,000,000 lives in the
first year following World War I,
was curbed by the U. S. Army
Medical Department, in co-opera
tion with civilian scientists, using
an effective new vaccine made
(from developing chick embryos
infected with concentrated “flu”
virus.
In the largest mass vaccinating
campaign in history, army doctors
and technicians, last autumn,
dealt protection almost simultan
eously to 7,500,000 men and wo
men from Tibet to Tangiers, Tas
mania to Tacoma. Now the score
is tallied.
Seventy-five percent of those
vaccinated were found positively
protected against both known in
fluenza viruses. What’s more a
test of 12,500 army college stu
dents in 14 universities show that
only 1.1 of the vaccinated were
hospitalized for all types of respi
ratory disease, against 9.9 among
the unvaccinated.
These are the results of the
genius of medical science when
backed by the world’s largest med
ical research organization, your U.
S. Army Medical Department. But
the army preventive medicine ex
perts are stil lfar from satisfied.
Their aim is to boost the vaccine
to 100'? effectiveness.
This type of stimulating re
search is going on throughout the
regular army every day of the
year. Just one of the unpublicized
services rendered by your army.
For young men wishing to do
public service, to have a well paid
job, to be paid while learning, to
be able to continue your education
and be secure while doing so, go
to your nearest military installa
tion and get full particulars on en
listing in this branch of the serv
ices today.

Presidential inauguration was sent
