The Saline Public Library has
received a check for $52.88 from
the Michigan State Board for
Libraries, Mrs. Harry Holmes,
acting  librarian,   announces.
This amount represents the
library's 1943 grant from the
State  Aid  to  Libraries  Fund.
Coming with practically no
strings ' attached, cnce a library
has qualified, the state a_d
grants may be used for boons,
salaries, supplies, and equipment, -or to keep the library
open more hours.
The grants, in fact, represent
a bonus given to the library because the loocal tax support is
being maintained. If the local
tax support drops, the library
will not qualify for a future
grant from this fund These
grants also assist the library in
meeting the standards set by
the State Board of Libraries.
"In the second year of total
war, these added state funds are
a   boon,"   declares   Mrs.   Holmes.
"Yankee flair for making the
most of what you have in lean
times means that libraries must
keep at hand a variety of timely and practical aids."
People want the best help tliey
can get on all angles of family
living and recreation, she points
out. Women are coming to their
libraries for books on fabrics,
dress design, and the wearing
qualities of -Substitute materials.
Housewives are asking for he>p
in feeding their families on r
ration book. With pressure
cookers scarce, Victory gardeners want to know how to dry
vegetables and fruits so as to
store  up  all  the vitamins.
Calls for information about
America's fighting forces vie
with those about world geography. Now that sons and daughters _are stationed throughout the
world, the globe has taken on
friendlv proportions. How to Join
the WAC or the WAVES and
the best place to get nurses'
training, along with a thousand
details about the United Nations,
are among questions being raised
frequently in -wartime Michigan
libraries.

Protection Against
Diphtheria And Smallpox
Protection against diphtheria
and smallpox for children entering school for the first time is
especially important in wartime.
Epidemics can occur in areas
where there are shifting populations and overcrowding, and
State Health Commissioner H.
Allen Moyer warns parents
against taking chances.
"Children should he immunized
"before they enter kindergarten."
says Dr. Moyer. "If the child
was given protective treatments
against diphtheria and smallpox
during the first year of his life,
as is recommended, these second
treatments reinforce the immunity conferred then. If he has
not previously "been immunized,
there is even greater reason for
giving him this protection.'"
Dr. Moyer calls attention to
wartime demands on physicians*
time in urging the m__king of an
early appointment.
Protection against diphtheria
is given in two simple injections
of toxoid, a month apart. Smallpox is prevented by -vaccination.
Toxoid and vaccine are produced
in state health department laboratories and are distributed
free to physicians throughout
Michigan.

Michigan's Birth-Death
Records Date From 1867
(From. Michigan Public Health)
Only Massachusetts, among
the states, has older records of
births and deaths than Michigan. The former's records date
from 1837, Michigan's from 136?
A paper read by W. J. V. Deacon, formerly director of the Bureau   of   Records   and   ■S'tati.t cs,
Michigan  Department  of  I ,
at the 13th annual Public -.-_.ea-.th
Conference held in Lansing In
November, 1934, furnis.iea a record of the beginnings of tne Department's volumn-us . les of records of births, deaths, marriages and divorces. Dr. Deacon,
pointed out that:
. "For more than SOO years,
there has been a realization in
civilized countries of the need
for vital records. In Germany
and later in England, an attempt was made to provide for
such records by requiring that
all births, deaths and marriages
be registered with the church, m
many parishes in Germany anu
England these records were quite
complete, but at best the method
was unsatisfactory. At the time
of the great cholera epidemic in
England in 1832, the necessity for
some more official form of recording * of deaths was obvious. It
was estimated that 50J000 persons
died of cholera, but no one knew,
and because of this, Edwin Chad-
wick secured legislation for the
immediate registration of deaths.
This began in England in 1837.
". . . In 1867 the Michigan
legislature enacted a law providing for the collection, of birth
and death records. The early
days were based on the need of
such records for legal „ purposes
and consequently they were filed
in the Department of State. The
public health use of statistics
came later, It was in 1921 that
the vital statistics of Michigan
were transferred from the Department of State to the Department, of Health. . . ."
