THE FIGHT AGAINST PROBATION

PROBATION of shipments of the remain
ing grapefruit crop of the Valley brought
the expected storm of protests. Protests
which seem to originate from two sources.
The first source and the first motive in
back of the protests are the expected
source and the expected motive. They
come from those who opposed any sort of
regulation or control Of the Valleys citrus
industry.
Those who attack proration from this
ground would like to see the work of the
control committee go for naught, they
have opposed the committee and its work
from the very beginning.
They were the ones who led the attack
on the shutting off of shipments of I'M
classified fruit.
They would like to see the shipment of
grapefruit left wide open to the sending
out of green fruit, unclassified fruit, any
and all kinds of fruit, with the consequent
decentralization of citrus markets the coun-
try over.
On the other hand we have opposition
not so much to proration, as to the manner
in which this proration is being handled by
the control committee in the giving of al
lowable shipments to shippers.
This opposition has grounds on which to
protest.
We believe that the control committee
will recognize, on due consideration of
these protests, that there is merit in the
complaints being made.
We believe the control committee is
composed Of men who nave the welfare of
the citrus industry at heart, who are fair
minded and who certainly wish no injus-
tice done to any shipper in the Valley.
With that in mind, and recognizing that
perhaps an insufficient notice of proration
and the method under which allowables
would be determined have been given,
we suggest and we believe the committee
will recognize that the suggestion is made
in good faith, that the review asked by
Independent shippers be granted.
Certainly a delay of a week or so will
not work serious injury to the program the
committee has in mind, and the good that
will come of a united front on this pro-
ration business will more than overcome
such slight backset as might be experienced
by the delay.

Newspaper reporters discovered that,
while he was duly shown all the great
sights. he found it ever so much more ex-
citing to talk about the five little girls
who have been his especial care for the last
few months. The miracles of Manhattan,
in fact, seem to have left him more or
less cold; he has a miracle of his own to
talk about, infinitely more impressive.
And this, after all, is quite natural.
Wealth and invention may combine to rear

This year the Christmas seal, which indicates n con-
~tribution to the battle against tuberculosis. bears a
picture of a little red cottage built so years ago at
Saranac Lake, N. Y.
In 1884 Edward Livingston Trudeau found that he
had tuberculosis. He had apparently developed the
disease while nursing his brother.
At that time tuberculosis was considered a fatal dis
order. so Trudeau left his home and went to the
Adirondack Mountains in New York State 10 spend
his last days on his favorite hunting ground.
In a speech delivered Just before his death, Tru-
deau said; "Over the doors Of the hospitals rs years
ago might well have been written thesewords: "AIl
hope abandon We that enter here While today, in
the light Of new knowledge. we may Justly place at
entrance Of the modern sanitorium the more hope
full Instruction.: Cure sometimes, relief often, comfort
always"
Today there are some $50 sanitoriums for the tu-
berculous in the United States. In these sanito-
RUINS. tuberculosis is treated for the most part with
the aid Of rest. fresh air and good food.
But modern scientific treatment includes also a
careful use Of drugs and Of biological preparations,
artificial pneumothorax. TO provide rest for the lung,
artificial physical therapy In the way Of ultraviolet
rays, suitable rest and exercise. and similar measures.
SO important did the little cottage first built by
DR. .Trudeau become in the history OF tuberculosis.
that it has been given the affectionate name Of
Little Red"
When you buy a Christmas seal this year you will
see the little cottage surrounded by evergreens out
lined in snow. 1t serves. therefore. as a memorial
to a great worker in tuberculosis and at the same
time helps to bring increasing comfort. and perhaps
increasing years Of life. to those who cannot otherwise
be provided with proper care.
1t has been reported that there are almost 100000
children with tuberculosis in the United States and
possibly $4,000 additional suspected cases. Were
these to be cases Of infantile paralysis or even Of
scarlet fever. diptheria or measles they would be
considered a national menace.
tuberculosis is just as great a menace and perhaps,
from the point Of view OF It's danger TO the commun-
iN, even more serious because OF the duration Of
the disease and the long period Of i~ncapacity with
which it is associated.
