PAGE EIGHT UNION PRESS 0OURIER, HEALTH RECORD IN STATE FOR LAST YEAR REPORTED AS GOOD Fennsylvania in 1943 had one of the best health records in its history, the only “black mark” being an in- Crease in meningitis cases, Dr. J. Moore @Gampbell, state director of health conservation declared this week. “It was a very good year,” he de- ¢lared, and listed some of the out- standing improvements as: Typhoid fever cases which totaled only 308, or 3.1 persons out of every 100,000 population, as compared to the 1906 figure of 24,447 cases, or 842.6 persons out of every 100,000. Diphtheria cases, which were 490, or four persons out of every 100,000, | 8 big reduction from the all time peak of 20,910 cases in 1921, or 236.2 persons out of every 100,000. “The number of diphtheria cases has been tumbling rapidly since 1921 because of prevention work done,” Dr. Campbell asserted. He estimated meningitis cases at “better than 1,000” for the year ag- ainst an annual average of about 200 cases but added use of sulpha drug treatment kept the mortality rate at less than ten per cent where it used to run from forty to sixty | Per cent, The health department, Dr. Comp. bell declared, expected a “flareup” miningitis cases because of war Rin shifting populaton but declared “we were helpless to prevent t because it is a carrier disease.” Vv DAVIS SEEKS PRIMARY | EXPENSE SUPERVISION | Pittsburgh.—A plan to seek feder- | al supervision of election expenses “particularly in the primary of 1944” was announced last Wednesday by U. S. Senator James J. Davis of this state, a Republican. Declaring he would ask the major- ity leader of the senate to have in- troduced immediately a resolution to that effect, Davis said: “In Pennsylvania want to see what funds come in from New York and what money originates inside and outside the state to be used in next April's primaries. I don't want -to See happen again what happened in Allegheny, Lackawanna, and parts of Schuykill and Philadelphia counties in 1942.” In 1942 Davis was defeated for the Republican nomination by Governor Martin.

The Altoona District OPA office announces that too much emphasis cannot be placed on the dire short- age of tires. The tire supply, regard- less of the tremendous efforts put forth by the government, has not as yet begun to ease. Consequently re- capping or retreading of tires should occur at the time when the tire is sufficiently worn. All car owners shiuld heed this advice; unless re- treading occurs before the tire -be- comes too worn, many cars will have to be stored until such time as the new tire program begins to bear ruit. It should be borne in mind that Certificates are not necessary for re- capping of tires. Passenger car, truck, farm implement tires can be retreaded merely by taking same to a retread shop. The hospitals, sanatoria and sch- ools of Finland are among the most niodern in the world. delicious, fine tex- ak yellow cake, with a butter cream filling and topped with a creamy, smooth fudge icing.
