"Because we consider it a fundamental patriotic service to community public health we are asking all of the 47 local women's defense councils to immediately cooperate in making a survey of all non- immunized children," declares Mrs*. Ev-.| ans. "The Committee on Child W-afatfe of the Delaware County Medical Society; points with concern to the larger number^ of pre-school age children who have not' been immunized against diphtheria'' and we look upon this campaign as a wartime measure." . Parents of non-immunized children will be asked to take children to the office of. their physicians. All immunization will be given by private physicians in their offices and those who cannot afford to pay will be given the service without cost. As an added wartime measure, tetanus antitoxin has been combined with diphtheria toxoid thus giving double protection to each child immunized at this time. Tetanus, or lockjaw, is a constant menace, say physicians, jo yotmg children who suffer cuts, bruises and severe burns.

It is, she said the next great achievement for mankind. The present conflict is, in her belief, the last great explosion of the forces of evil. There must be faith in an organized; world based on law and order. All peoples, particularly the people of the United States, and more specifically the people of Pennsylvania because of William Penn's Holy Experiment here, should be studying the Science of Law to establish, a new order of sanity and security. Nations must be willing to pool their power to preserve order and then must organize to enforce that order. Miss Oakley believes that a new world union can be built on the foundation of the League of Nations; that "Union Now" the plan of Clarence Streit is a step in the right direction. Reproductions of the murals in the state capitol of Pennsylvania, which established Miss Oakley's reputation as one of America's greatest painters were on exhibit.

Violet' Oj$dey;' < i&V djstinmjSshed; artist fri many;: typ^sVof^j^aihtin^ Miss. Oakley ^'^"'devoted bejieyer in tfie possibility.'of a world organized! for permanent peace. It is, she said the next great achievement for mankind. The present conflict is, in her belief, the last great explosion of the forces of evil. There must be faith in an organized; world based on law and order. All peoples, particularly the people of the United States, and more specifically the people of Pennsylvania because of William Penn's Holy Experiment here, should be studying the Science of Law to establish, a new order of sanity and security. Nations must be willing to pool their power to preserve order and then must organize to enforce that order. Miss Oakley believes that a new world union can be built on the foundation of the League of Nations; that "Union Now" the plan of Clarence Streit is a step in the right direction. Reproductions of the murals in the state capitol of Pennsylvania, which established Miss Oakley's reputation as one of America's greatest painters were on exhibit.
