The intensified cleanup cam-
paign opened here in early June,
and immediate results were no-
ticeable. However, through Wed-
nesday, there remained much
room for improvement, commit-
tees reported.
“Every man, woman and child
in Levelland is requested to assist
in cleanup work, placing all trash
rubbish and refuse in convenient
places to be picked up and haul-
ed away by city trucks,” the city-
wide proclamation ordered.
Prevalence of poliomyelitis in
adjoining counties was the minu-
tely responsible reason for calling
a cleanup campaign. Since the
project started, however, other
diseases have shown prominence.
Just this week, the county’s
first case of typhoid fever has
been reported to the Hockley
county health unit.

typhoid germs.
Adding further informative com-
ment on vaccination, Dr. Phillips
said that typhoid vaccine is made
with dead typhoid fever germs. This
vaccine is injected under the skin
in the upper part of the arm, in
three doses, usually at weekly in-
tervals. A slight redness disappears
in a few days.
In some cases, he said, a slight
headache and a tired feeling follow,
lasting about a day. In very rare
cases, these signs may extend over
several days, but the vaccination
has been proved to he harmless. It
ordinarily protects against the dis-
ease for a year or more, although
those definitely exposed to typhoid
infection should be revaccinated im-
mediately.

cautions against typhoid as listed
by the health officer is contained

yesterday afternoon at 4:00 o’-
clock. The Rev. Franklin E.
Swanner, pastor of the First Bap-
tist Church of Levelland, officiat-
ed, assisted by Rev. A. A. Brian,
pastor.
Interment was in the Brown-
field cemetery under the direc-
tion of a Brownfield funeral
home.
Mr. McDonald, who had been

“A sanitary toilet, for the safe
disposal of human waste matter,
should be provided for every un-
sewered rural or urban house. It
should be constructed according to
the specifications of the state board
of health.
“Typhoid germs in milk—Typhoid
fever germs often get into milk
through oarlessness or lack of clean-
lines upon the part, of those who
handle it. Flies sometimes infect it
when it is left uncovered. When
milk is pasteurized—heated to 145
degrees F. for 30 minutes—typhoid
fever germs are killed. All milk
should be kept covered and in a
cool place.
“Other sources of typhoid fever—
Typhoid fever germj may enter the
intestines with rood, especially raw
foods grown in soil contaminated
with typhoid germs.
“Human carriers—Certain people,
apparently healthy, carry typhoid
germs in their intestines or urinary
tract and cause many cases of ty-
phoid fever each year through hand-
ling foods with unwashed hands.
They are called typhoid carriers.
Many cases result from personal
contact with carriers.

warnings for safe "typhoidless”
