Many times in this column I have
brought out the fact that courtesy is
very important item in the prevention
Of automobile accidents. Personally, 1
believe that through the practice of
courtesy on the part of pedestrians and
the automobile driver, 80 per cent of
our accidents could be avoided.
The other day saw an unbelievable
thing! A truck driver stopped his truck
at busy downtown crossing to help an
old lady across the street to safety.
One reads about these things occas-
ionally, but this was the first time I
had personally had an opportunity to
see it. The action of this driver not
only built up good will towards the
firm he represented, but he impressed
me with the fact that courtesy will pre-
vent accidents. Had he been reckless,
careless, or had he taken seriously the
fact that the go" sign was for him,
this old lady might have been involved
in an accident.
Courtesy builds good will-courtesy
PASfSAAoo e@NSAStClioo. LILY IL.
Any automobile driver who will take
his car out knowing that the brakes
are not in the best of condition, ought
not to be privileged to drive an auto
mobile.
The ability to stop when it is abso-
lutely necessary is very important. Can
you stop? 1t is too late after the acci-
dent. 1t is, therefore, very necessary
that this part of your automobile be
given regular and periodic inspections.
1t is better to spend money for check
ing up brakes and having them adjus-
ted than to have years of regret be-
cause of an automobile accident that
you know full well could have been
avoided had your brakes been in proper
working condition
After the accident has happened,
many people know what should have
been done or could have been done to
have eliminated that accident, but how
many think of these things while they
are driving before the accident?
Think!

Disappearance of Cannon
Balls is Mysterious

Ortonville-One by one they are dis
appearing cannon balls that form
the pyramid behind the G. A. r. men,
orial cannon that keeps silent watch
over the local court house. Now there
are three missing. Just how the first
one was removed 13 years ago and who
trundled it off is still one of Big Stone
county's unsolved mysteries. More re-
cent, however, is the disappearance of
two more of the missiles one of which
has been found at the foot of the main
street hill. Several theories have been
advanced, one being that of the jani-
tors that some playful children rocked
the cannon balls loose,

Peptic Ulcer to Be
Discussed by Physicians,

There are some disease conditions
that are found especially in nervous,
high-strung persons. They appear to
be caused by emotional strain rather
than by any outside or bodily disorder.
One of these is peptic ulcer, a dis
ease that presents so many difficulties
both as to origin and treatment, that
Minnesota doctors are arranging a
special symposium to be held in con-
nection with the 84th annual meeting
of the Minnesota State Medical associ-
alton in st. Paul, May 8, and 5.
The committee on public health edu-
cation of the Minnesota Medical asSoci-
alton calls attention to this interest on
the part of the physicians in a bulletin
issued today as one sign of the changes
that modern times have brought in the
practice of medicine.
Any ulcer that develops in the mucous
membrane of the stomach or duodenum
that is exposed to the action of the
gastric juice is called peptic ulcer.
1t is no longer necessary for doctors
to spend much valuable meeting time
discussing methods of treating typhoid
fever, for example, because vaccination
and modern sanitation have reduced
the amount of typhoid to a point where,
so long as preventive measures are Wig
orously maintained, the disease is no
longer a menace.
Modern sanitation and the techniques
Of immunization are of no avail, how
ever, in preventing the troubles that
go with anxiety, fatigue, strain and
emotional disturbances. Only a quieter
pace and better philosophy of living
can prevent these things and the ulcers
that seem to follow them in nervous
people.
If it is discovered early, peptic ulcer
can be successfully treated in a large
number of cases, the number estimated
variously between so and rs per cent
Treatment may be by diet and rest or
by surgery. In either case, the latest
techniques will be demonstrated and
discussed at this meeting.

Whereas, the temporary logging dam

Whereas, such an occurrence would

of Prairie Portage dam and a sur
vey of Knife and Newton dams with
the object in view of preventing the
desecration to these waters which would
occur should the structures which now
maintain their present official levels be
destroyed"
The new water power bill came up
for discussion. This is House File No
1862. The secretary was instructed to
write the sponsor of the bill, Repre-
sentative Ray Anderson and urge modi-
fication of Section 5 which places the
regulation of water power, dam con-
struction of all types in the hands of
the conservation commissioner.
The organization felt, that while the
commissioner might be given the power
to take over construction of small dams
Of control nature, purely for con-
servation purposes, that it would nullify
all existing water power laws to place
discretionary powers entirely in the
hands of one individual.
The matter of the opening of the
Eastwood rice beds to duck shooting
also was aired and received favorably
by the members present.
The secretary reported that Herman
Olson, in charge of wild life work in
the Superior National Forest, was in
favor of abolishing duck sanctuaries in
this region WORKING On the r,rayoica
that this is not breeding country pri-
marily, and that migratory birds pass
ing through might just as well furnish
sport for the local hunters here as on
the shooting grounds of the Illinois
river and the Mississippi down below.

MORE FOREST
fire CONTROL
Supervisor Harmon Predicts
Greater Control Due
This Year.

ForeSterS of the area will review the
forest fire situation at the three-day
conference to be held in the foresters
office at Duluth on April 26, 27 and %.
Attending the conference will be state
forestry leaders who will outline a
program of combating the fires and
stress will be placed on the CCC camps
which will assist the foresters in their
work. Plans will be drawn so that
rangers and the conservation corps
will be able to cope with any situation,
Mr.. Harmon said in calling attention
to the meeting.
He further stated that greater con-
troll of forest fires in the forest area
will be possible this year because the
department has more equipment than
ever before. Two more observation
towers will be in use," he said. "They
will be in the Markham-Palo area and
the Gunf1int area. More short wave
radios will also be employed" Mr. Har-
mon stated.
In addition an airplane equipped with
a short wave broadcasting set will
cruise the areas where greatest danger
exists Thus it will be possible to in
form fire fighting stations in moment
the exact location of the fires.
The forest rangers and their districts
are: Arthur Roe, Mesabe; David Will
liamS, Vermilion; M. j. Valentine, La
Croix; Frank Legat, Kawishiwi; Hen

War on Tuberculosis
( Wdged This Month.

Minnesota is joining with the other
states of the nation in an intensive
educational campaign for the early
diagnosis of tuberculosis. DR.. Kendall
Emerson. managing director of the Ma
tional tuberculosis association, has
proclaimed the month of April for the
campaign for the Christmas Seal or
ganizations throughout the country.
Uncover tuberculosis by Modern
Methods" is the slogan for this cam
paign.
"Too many people either do not know
or fail to use the great discoveries that
science has given us in recent years to
aid us in our fight against this dis
ease," said DR.. Emerson in his pro-
clamation. "The tuberculin test and
the magic eye of the X-ray should be
widely used to detect tuberculosis in it's
beginning stages when the disease is
durable. If these modern methods were
employed" he continued, 1--WE certainly
would not be finding nearly 10000 in
dividuals dying of tuberculosis each
year in the United States"
LIT. emerson SAID That this years
early diagnosis campaign has three OBJ
jectives: The first, to acquaint everyone
with the four danger signs of tubercul-
osis-the persistent cough, indigestion,
continued loss of weight and unexplain-
able fatigue; the second, to advise them
to discover hidden tuberculosis by
means of the tubercllin test, fluoro-
scope and X-ray; and the third, to
stress the dangers of contact with an
open case.
The campaign in this state is being
directed by the Minnesota Public Health
Association and its affiliated units.
Free literature on tuberculosis is OBJ
tainable from organization headquarters
at II West Summit Avenue, st. Paul.
