turkey WAS poised today for

the result of a cabinet decce, taken

the drastic national defense law.
The decision was interpreted as

that the foreign situation warrant

the necessity for Turkey to enter

Diplomatic quarters noted that the
announcement enforcing the defense

that Germany could not succeed
in maneuvering Turkey into neu-

Turkey must prepare to play a part

DIR. WILLIAM J.. THOMPKINS,
RECORDER OF DEEDS, WASH
INGTON, ID. c., GIVES INTER
VIEW ON THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE BOOKER T. WASHING
TON STAMP TO THE
AMERICAN NEGRO
By Frederick S. Weaver

DR.. William j. Thompkins had
this to say: "In seventy-fve years
of freedom no honor as significant
as the issue of the Booker T. Wash
ington Stamp by Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley has been re-
ceived by the Negro race. In form
er administrations it was a cus-
tom of that party in power to
honor a Negro as Registrar of the
Treasury of the United States. In
this capacity, a Negroes name was
inscribed on all United States pa
per money. In a previous admins
tration, the American Negro lost
this key position of national dis
tinction."
The Race Was Depressed
1.-THE race as a whole regarded
it as a great loss which was fol-
lowed by widespread apprehen-
sion, lamentation and depression.
Well did they realize the national
significance of a Negroes signature
inscribed on this important nation
al document-the medium of ex-
change. Every Negro bowed his
head despondently when mention
was made of this serious setback
in their forward, but peaceful
march toward higher cultural,
economic and political levels. No
wonder that this week, Negro
America swells with pride as hun
dreds of thousands of mail EAR
riers deliver envelopes, packages,
etc, bearing the Booker T. Wash
ington Stamp in every town, city
and hamlet in the United States.
Moreover, they realize that this
historical stamp is being carried
today by train, steamship, and
airplane to the four corners of
the eartn.
The Race Feels Intolerance
mo one knows better than the
American Negro that intolerance
towards minority groups is ram
pant throughout the world-parti-
cularly in Nazi Germany. With the
face of Booker T. Washington dis
played on the United States pos
tage stamp, much of the propagan-
da of Facism concerning the servi-
tude of the Negroes of America
will disappear. The world will
know that an American Negro has
been recognized and placed on the
honor roll among the patriots,
presidents, statesmen, educators,
and other great Americans in the
Hall of Fame"

, groups have been infected with
tuberele baeilli. This is easily ae-
complished through the admins
tration of the tuberculin test and
the chest X-ray.
If the individual reacts positive
ly to the tubereulin test, it does
not necessarily near that he is i'll
at the moment or will ever become
i'll from active tuberculosis. How
ever, with the test indicating the
presence of germs of tuberculosis
in the body, the individual should
have a desire to determine, in so
far as possible, whether areas of
disease are developing or have de-
veloped which will cause illness
and which, if untreated, will be-
come contagious to others.
The X-ray examination of the
chest serves as a second and most
important screen. That is, the tu-
berculin test has screened out all
potential ase of destructive
forms of tuberculosis. The X-ray

of disease In the lungs that are
so located or have sufficient size
to cast a shadow that can be seen
with the naked eye. Not all sha-
dows so cast on the X-ray film arc
due to tuberculosis of the lungs.
Therefore, the X-ray examination
is not the final step in determin-
ing whether destructive forms of
tuberculosis are present.
All persons who do have sha-
dows on the film should immediate
ly place themselves under the care
of competent physicians who are
trained to complete the examine
ton and determine whether tuber-
culosis actually exists and, if so,
whether it is in a progressive stage
that requires treatment.
The young adult need no longer
fear having chronic tuberculosis
of the lungs detected, provided it
is found in an early stage and be-
fore much destruction has occur
red. Methods of treatment of the
disease have advanced as rapidly
as can usually be brought under
control with very little inconven-
fence to the individual.
When it is controlled in this
manner, it is prevented from caus-
ing significant illness and from
becoming contagious. The truth is
that we know enough to eradicate
it completely from any community
Or any nation. The methods of de-
lection, treatment and prevention
are simple. They can be carried
out in any community.
If the young adults of America
would take advantage of the num-
erous opportunities offered them
by local tuberculosis associations
especially during the nationwide
Early Diagnosis Campaign con-
Quoted every Spring by these as
sociations- to become informed
about tuberculosis and would de-
mand that the places where they
live and work be rendered free
from tuberculosis in the contagious
stage, the disease would be almost
completely controlled within their
generation.
