AVOID THESE FIVE VACATION SPOILERS
Gay as a giggle or a trip that’s a trap-which kind of vacation will
you have this year? The answer may depend on how well you cope
with five of the most common vacation spoilers. Poison ivy-a pain
in the neck, and sometimes worse-is usually avoidable if you know
what to do, treatable if you get caught. The same is true of insect
bites and mild sunburn. Getting enough fresh air will help you
avoid motion sickness; a cute psychological trick helps too. DO
carry sweets in the car for a pep-up snack between stops, but
DON’T take along the wrong kind of food.

Health Department Reports
Infectious hepatitis-commonly
called yellow jaundice-decreased
25% in the first three months of
1969 over the same period In
1968, State Health Department
Chief Epidemiologist Dr. John
E. McCroan revealed today in
Atlanta. A total of 550 cases
have been reported during the
first quarter of this year against
736 cases for the first three
months of 1968.
“Nationwide, 13,767 cases were
reported during the first three
months of this year, which is an
Increase of 1,235 over the 12,532
cases recorded for January, Feb
ruary, and March of 1968”, Dr.
McCroan said.
State Health Director Dr. John
H. Venable, commenting on the
decline In Georgia said, “The
incidence of infectious hepatitis
is relatively high among the pop
ulation as a whole but most cases
are so mild that they are not
recognized as a definite Illness.
Fatalities seldom occur. Hepa
titis is a disease that only oc
casionally creates a problem.
When it does, it may incapaci
tate a victim for months. The
economic Implications can be
serious when the affected indiv
idual is the family wage earner.

rector of Senior Scouting. In this
position he gave leadership to
the development and promotion
of the Sea Scout and Exploring

He was the first National Di

the major civic organizations

American Legion, Lions, Vet

titis in Georgia.
Suggesting possible causes for
the reduction. Dr. Venable said,
“Hepatitis is a disease that tends
to peak about every seven years
and then decline. However, the
State Health Department contin
uously attempts to Intervene in
its spread by demanding good
hygiene on the part of foodhand
lers and by explaining over and
over again that hepatitis is a
virus of the human Intestinal
tract which infects by passing
from hand to mouth.”
“Parents of small children in
particular are urged to teach,
and to practice, good personal
hygiene habits,” he went on.
“There is no vaccine to protect
against infectious hepatitis—the
virus has never been isolated.
Gamma globulin gives only a
temporary, borrowed resistance
to the disease. It prevents the
symptoms but does not prevent
Infection.
“Recently, we have had instan
ces in which children in nursery
schools were protected by gamma
globulin yet several parents of
these children developed hepa
titis,” Dr. Venable revealed.
“Evidently the children had an
unrecognized illness and Infected
other household members.”
“A further decline in the num
ber of cases may occur during
the second quarter of 1969, based
on current health department
projections,” Dr. Venable stated.
“However, the disease is always
present and is a constant threat
In communities that are exper
iencing cases. The Infection in
a community Is like an Iceberg
very little of it shows but the
total mass can be enormous.
“It seems unlikely that hepatitis
will ever be conquered until a
vaccine is found. Careful and
frequent hand washing is the best
weapon we have in preventing
Its spread,” the health director
concluded.

dime so he could make his weekly

His total camp bill will cost his parents
well over two hundred dollars. The cost
