Vaccination offers strong protection, especially before July to September, with chick embryo vaccine yielding up to 160 percent immunity when properly stored and administered by a trained vet. Sucking colts should also be vaccinated due to reports of illness in young foals.

The World Pocket Philosophy and OPA Price Rules
A satirical tale recalls a worker who calls a pocket The World and a shopkeeper named Effie Stone who cannot raise skirt prices due to OPA base period rules. The piece argues the OPA price ceiling system creates a legal limit that prevents profit even when demand remains. It highlights the mismatch between consumer prices and actual market behavior as shops like Effie’s lose skirts while other stores raise prices. The piece uses colorful anecdotes to critique wartime price controls and illustrate the “base period” effect.
