Watkins, Jr., Director of county schools, yesterday. “However, we want all first graders this year to be im munized also against diphth eria, tetanus, polio and meas les.” He added that the first grade is the primary exposure area for many youngsters since many parents have failed to get shots for their children. Commenting that the school setting is ideal for epidemics, Mr. Watkins said, “We are no longer worried about epidem ics, but we are concerned about preventing all cases of child hood diseases in school. This is true because a one or two week absence from school does slow down a first grader’s learning process considerably, and can be simply avoided by obtaining the shots.” Significant is the fact that shots also offer protection to parents since many parents con tract the childhood diseases from the youngsters who have entered school. College has summer finals Summer graduates at New berry College were told Friday that there are intimate personal truths that must touch the lives of men and women if they are to live rich lives. The charge to the 25 seniors was given by the Rev. Mr. Garth Lee Hill, secretary of the New berry College Board of Trustees and pastor of the Zion Lutheran Church in Lexington. Dean Con rad Park presided over the ceremonies signalling the end of the summer session and the 1969-70 School year. Mr. Hill summarized by tell ing the graduates to live a rich life rather than to die a rich man, to fall in love with some great truth and to perform not just the duties of life, but to enjoy the beauties of life as well.
