IMMUNIZATIONS TO BE RESUMED
Parent? who wish to do everything in their
power to guard their children’s health
should have their children immunized. There
are preventative measures that are effect
ive ,.safe•and readily obtainable against
dintheria, small-pox and whooping cough.
Health authorities urge that all babies be
protected against these comnunicable dis
eases by the age of one year. The protect
ive treatments cause little discomfort, and
the baby is safeguarded during the child
hood period. This in turn avoids the worry
and confusion nroduced when e-nidemics
threaten.

Garrett at the Palmer Health Center begin
ning in April. The time and date for the
resuming of this service will be announced
later. Immunizations should be begun when
the child is six months old. Anyone avail

Brooks brought two problems to the
Chamber, .The first one under discussion
concerned the lack of Agriculture subjects
in the Alaska Schools and particularly in j
the Palmer School, which is in' an agricul
tural’ community. The &nith-rl:ughes Act* and
its a lication to Alhska was discussed.
I’r. Balloun explained that in order to get
agricultural instruction into the schools .
in Alaska it would be necessary to have the
Smith-:ughes Act extended to Alaska and a
Vocational education ^oard set up to admin
ister the funds available under this Actj
This'.law provides for the instruction of
Agricultural Industrial Arts and Homemak
ing, he explained. After the Vocational
Baard' is set up, the School Board can then
* make application for benefits from this
fund and be able to include instruction of
this nature in the School program. Teach
ers in this field have been extremely
scarce, but’prospects are that more will
be available_in the future. Hr. Ballouh
