IT'S A FINE MAP
(Tulare AdVance-Reglster)

With Hitler's eyes on the Balkans,
Mussolini's arms reaching out for French
colonies, and Japan's war-planes loos-
ening bombs over the heart of China,
trouble and despair has not overlooked
the map-makers.
The National Geographic Society has
announced it has been forced to develop
an entirely new type of map-making
machine to keep pace with the changes
being wrought by the march of dictator
ships.
Happily, the contour of the United
States remains unchanged. This is all
right with Americans. We like its shape
SO well the map-makers can go back to
their old type of machine any time they
want to print new map of the United
States. 1t is ours, to have-and to hold!

WASHINGTON. About this

When 100000 relief workers are
set to doing things, rather than to
making things, no mortal can say
definitely how many of their jobs
are intrinsically worth doing even
the best of jobs We're.
In any case, these projects are
beWildering in extent. They have
provided jobs for more than mil
lion men and women during WPAs
life. Broadly speaking, they are
classified under five general group
ings.
First. there is the cultural pro-
gram. under which jobless writer's
artists. musicians and sculptors
have been put to work,
Next are the public administra-
ton projects, in which research and
statistical work has been done tor
local governments.
Then there are the professional
projects, in which white collar job
less have toiled for such public
institutions as libraries and mu-
SeumS.
There are service projects: the
cooking of hot lunches for needy
school children, gardening ana
horticultural projects, and mouse

STYLES IN THINKING

(James TrusloW Adams, in Rotarian
MagaZine)
If we as Americans are to continue our
democratic form of government, we must
learn to think, we must cleanse and
sharpen the tools of thought, we must
strengthen our minds by training instead
of acknowledging defeat by lolling in an
intellectual hammock

easily and smoothly does it march,
but some of the chapters were re-
written ten timesi But that is not
all. He read them to himself thirty
times in order to make sure that
music was in the prose. Then on
top of this his wife edited the
chaptersl
He also wrote another famous
biography, Lust for Life the
story Of the incredible artist Van
Gogh. Irving Stone tells me that
he wrote the first chapter of Lust
for Life" eleven times-then threw
it away in its entirety and wrote
it all over from beginning to end.
That is what one of our most
popular biographical writer's does
even after he has won recognition
and acclaim. But are amateur
writer's willing to do that? Not as
a rule. I know because 1 have
taught courses in writing short
stories and magazine articles. The
majority of the students wanted to
become Writers-if it didn't mean
too much hard work. They wanted
a short cut to literary distinction;
so the majority made few efforts,
got discouraged and then quit. Most
people are like that; so that makes
it comparatively easy for the man
who is willing TO work hard, year
in and year out, to arrive.
He writes his biographies on just
one idea Here it is: Irving Stone
tries to write them so sharply and
dramatically that the reader will
feel he knows the man, and will
suffer with him and rejoice with
him. That one idea has been the
basis of two outstanding biograph-
les.
Here's his method: He goes to
his typewriter at half-paSt eight
in the morning and works until
one o'clock. Then he stops for the
day. But sometimes inspiration
doesn't come during the morning
hours. Does he jump in the car
and dash off for a ride? Not at
all. He makes himself sit there
until five o'clock. SO that the
harder he works, the sooner he will
finish. This builds up his sub
conscious mind and makes it his
ally and helps him TO get his work
done.
We can all learn from that. Set
a goal of getting a certain amount
accomplished in a day, and then
accomplish it, If you are sales
man, budget yourself a certain
number of calls to make-and make
them. IF you can make them in
five hours, dash away and have
some fun. If you can't, then stick
to the job until it is done.

In many localities public health nursing care of tuberculosis patients and early diagnosis campaigns have been made possible and arrested sanatorium patients have been rehabilitated.

More Tuberculosis Deaths in 20 to go Year Period;
 State Had Low Death Rate From Disease in I038

More deaths result from tubercu- losis in the 90 to 20 year period than at any other time and during thiE period and the preceding ten years approximately twice as many females died of the disease as do males, 1t was disclosed in the week " bulletin of the state department Of health, which urged continued public support of the Christmas seal sale, the receipts of which are used Tor the prevention and care of tu- herculosis cases.
 State statistics also reveal that in 1888 there were 6l6 deaths from tuberculosis, all forms, which gave Connecticut its lowest death rate from this disease, 34.4 per 100000 population. With a death rate in 1928 of 67.8 for all forms of tuber- culosis, 1t was pointed out that the states rate has been cut almost 50 per cent during this ten-year period and that good work should continue through the cooperative effort of all in the extensive campaign against tuberculosis.
 In combating the disease the very first step is to find the cases, the bulletin stressed. This must be done so that the patients may have the best chance to get well and also to protect persons associated with them from infection. The disease usually develops so slowly and in- sidiously that for a long time there may be no reasons to suspect its presence and seek medical advice. Thus a patient may spread infec- tion beforfe symptoms occur.

Payments by State to
Confederate Women
To Be Worked With
Old Age Assistance

r. y. Falkner, clerk of Vance ST.
perior Court, who distributes semi
annually State pension funds to
widows of Civil War veterans in this
county, said today he had been Of
ficially advised by the State au-
dltor'S office in Raleigh of the change
in the method of paying these pen
slons. Under an act of the legisla-
ture, which adjourned early last
Tuesday. the rav,nor+s will ho made
monthly after July l instead of semi4
annually, on June Is ana DecrA..y..
Is, as heretofore.
There is to be some form of har-
monizing old age assistance paw
mentS under the social security act,
with the State Confederate pensions.
No Confederate veterans in Vance
county have shared in the distribu-
lions for several years, those who
had been on the pension rolls hav-
ing died. At the present time only
widows are receiving payment, anc
all OF them are on the Glass A list,
receiving $500 annually, or $3.50 on
June Is and like amount Deem
Der Is. This will be discontinued
after July l.
The change will in no way affect
the June Is payment of $3.50, but
that will be the last lump sum dis
tribution. Some Is to 18 widows are
on the Vance county rolls at the pre-
sent time. The distribution in this
county has aggregated in more re-
cent years a sum of about $500 to
$4,000 annually.
