For example a soldier received at Ft. Hood, Tex., now gets the routine immunizations for smell- pox, typhoid, tetanus, and a Schict test for diphtheria. If transferred to an-ther im- munization area, the serviceman gets what the Army terms a "stimulating dose" of each routine inoculation. Even then, the regulation re- duces the number of sore arms. It provides for a time interval be- tween shots while the serviceman is en route to his new station. The sorest arms of all may well belong to men in Area Four. In addition to the routine shots, they get five other jabs for cholera, typhus and yellow fever. Servicemen in Korea miss the yellow fever needle but get extra inoculations for typhus and cholera Although all men take a diph- theria test, immunizations for the disease go only to those serving in Europe. 1 The regulation applies to a Service personnel, their dependents CONCRETE BLOCK PLANT TO PRODUCE 350 LOCKS - Seabees of Mobile Construction Battalion Ch re pictured and civilians who come under mili- directly above readying concrete block plant which wi 'oduce 350,000 blocks for the new housing units in BariWd Villamar. tary jurisdiction.
