Measles Rise Tracked by Public Health Officials
Towa officials report a sharp rise in measles cases with Dr Ralph Heeren calling it seasonal yet warning of a potential 1949 like epidemic. He notes cycles every two to three years and that large cities may see many cases this year. Prior years show 1948 3,400 cases and 1949 week end totals 172. Heeren stresses complications over the disease and urges isolating sick children. Officials say lodges and clubs are now complying with the law in financing changes prompted by member demands. The state sold a third block of 8 750 000 soldiers bonus bonds at 1 1/4 percent, bought by Chicago banks and Davenport Des Moines banks.
