Watch Your Step In twa recent posters issued by the Industrial Accident Preven- f ion Associations, people in in- dusfry aro warnod "watch your step" nof only when using ladders but also whon on the ground.

The other bulletin il- lustrating an upfurned nail in a board, a blooding foot and a man in the background on a stretcher wifh bis foot bandaged, carnies the toxt "Just a nail . .. mâ'y cost a f6of !" The bulletin puts across the idea that not only must ahl upturned nails be gathered up put ouf of harm's way but that and immediato first aid for al injuries is essential.

An immunization clinîc r- is held in rural schools every sec- Il ond year, and at these clinics the -e scbool children are protected r against dipbtheria, fentaus and t- smallpox. Parents are invited t0 ýr bring their infants and prescbool ,e children for immunization agaînsf e wbooping cough, as well as the L- diseases menfioned above. ýe This spring, clinics will be held n in the schools of Hastings and d Warkworth, and Seymour, Percy, y' Cartwright, South Monagban and e Hamilton Twsis L If is interesfing ta note that be- cause of the extensive immuniza- e tion program which bas been fol- lowed by the Healtb Unit since ifs -beginning in 1945, and because of ýfthe co-operafion of the parents g and doctors, the number of sho schildren requiring the initial pro- e tection bas steadily decreased. I 1946, 1805 children received 3 .1 doses of diphtberia toxoid, while -in 1949, 166 cbilren were given pthe complete series. 1, Parents are confinuing to bring gtheir infants and preschool cbild- 1 ren to their family doctors or teo clinics operafed by the Heahth 1 Unit for protection againsf dipb- * theria, wbooping cougb, tetanus iand smallpox. In 1946, 577 in- fants and preschool cbildren were given their initial series, while in 1949, 618 received immunizations1 at clinics staffed by the Health Unit. Infants should receive their first immunizations at six months of age, and reinforcing doses ares necessary to mainfain immunity.c Wool Prices at Record LevelsV 1 The recent issue of Wool News 1reports that producers of wool enter the 1950 season with pricesn at record levels in ail high- producing countries and ofi world imarkets. Men of experience ini world economy are pointing ouf tbat wool always is closely linked with the general ecorromy. The inference is that unless the world's economy shows a "sub- stanfial recession the prospects are that wool prices cannof fail to continue on favourable levels. "Furthermore, if must be noted tbat because of the high prices thaf have prevailed, stocks of wool in Great Britain and otber major manufacturing countries are low and that these counitries, as a resulf, will be in the position of baving te make heavy pur- chases in order f0 keep their tex- tile mills running. "In spite of this hopeful outlook friends of tbose who produce wool are wary of making fore- casts. Bearing in mind tbe un- certainfies that surround world affairs and the possibilities sug- gested in regard fe synthetics and in manufacturing processes.there still is wisdom in an urge not te abandon sensible caution and t0 maintain a reasonable conserva- tism in regard fe flock exten- sion. "Regardless of wbat may de- velop in the counfries of beavy wool production7 bowever, there sfill is little danger of an over- supply to the point that will make nature.
