Entry, Exit Permits
To Be Required byU.S.
After September |
New Regulations to
Affect Citizens as
Well as All Aliens
BY LLOYD LEHRBAS,
Associated Press StaY Writer,

All American citizens and aliens
desiring to enter or leave the United
States after September / will be re-
quired to secure entry or exit per-
mits, or their equivalent, under new
regulations now under preparation
by the State and Justice Depart
ments.
President Roosevelt is expected to
announce the new policy in the in
terests of national defense, through
a proclamation to be issued soon
after his return to Washington.
The new regulations are designed
particularly to curb the movements
of spies, propagandists, fifth COL
umnists or other travellers whose
activities would be detrimental to
the interests of the United States.
Takes Complete Control.
While this Nation, along with
most other countries, long has re-
quired aliens to secure entry visaS,
the United States hitherto has
placed no barriers against the de-
parture of Americans or aliens lex
cept Germans and Italians from
this country. Institution of the new
regulations will establish complete
governmental control over immigra-
ton and emigration for the first
time since the 1918 war days.
President Roosevelt recently de-
creed that no German or Italian
could leave the United States with
out special permission. This step
was taken to help enforce proclama-
tions freezing German and Italian
assets in this country and to provide
guarantees that Americans could
leave Germany or Italy.
While the United States in the
past has not required American citi-
zens TO secure passports to leave
the country, they have been a prac-
tical necessity since most nations re-
quire them for entry. They also
prove identity for re-entry TO the
United States.
Passports Taken Up.
Since the United States estab-
lished naval bases on British islands
and territories in the Western Hem
isphere. passports have been re-
quired of travellers to those areas,
and to Greenland and Iceland,
which are under American protec-
ton.
All passports are now taken up
upen the return of an American
from abroad and strict rules for is
suance of new passports, particu-
larly to belligerent countries and
danger areas, have drastically re-
duced the number being issued.
After September l passports is
sued American citizens will auto
matically provide the necessary exit
permit. The passports of all de-
parting Americans will be examined
by customs authorities at portsl OF
exit before the holder is permitted
to board vessels or cross borders.
Canadian Rules 10 Stand.
Proper authorization will be re-
quired of aliens desiring to leave.
Their credentials must be examined
and approved by immigration Serv-
ice officials at ports of exit in the
United States, Hawaii, Alaska and
Puerto Rico.
Officials said they did not expect
any changes in present regulations
governing travel to and from Can
ada and Mexico. or to Cuba. which
does not require passports from
American citizens.

Radiant Living
BEYOND THE

Cecilton, Md.

Have you ever noticed how many
people today are like that certain
character in the New Testament?
L have reference to that lame
man who was carried daily to the
Temple and placed outside its walls
near the Temple Gate.
Although this man was carried
every day as far as the entrance
into the Temple, he had never been
inside that Temple. His eyes had
never seen the beauties which
adorned the interior of that sacred
structure.
Yes, many of us are just like
him. We never get any further
than the Temple Gate, because we
are lame. Only our lameness is
not in our ankles. 1t is in our
eyes. Somehow they are not able
to comprehend the spiritual. 1t is
true, we see the Temple of Divine
Beauty, but we have never been
through that Gate of divine an
nointing which ushers one into the
amazing and marvellous glories Of

WATCH Your HEALTH
WINTER IS COMING!
The Value of Periodic Examination
by Clarke M. McColl, MD.
Henry Ford Hospital
Detroit, Michigan

An annual physical examina-
ton is being increasingly rec
ogniZed as an aid in preserving
health and achieving higher
efficiency.
No one questions the marked
reduction in infant death rate
accomplished by medical SUI
'pervision of the feeding and
hygiene of babies.
The improvement in health
of children during the pre-
school and early school years
when important defects are
discovered and removed is
equally obvious.
Many industrial organiza-
tons now recognize the impor-
lance of periodic examination
of all employees in increasing
the efficiency of the entire group.
Insurance companies know
the financial saving occurring
through the increased length
of life when disease in policy
holders is diagnosed early and
when, by health suggestions,
disease can be prevented. Many
provide periodic examinations
for policy holders.
The solution of many health
problems lies in early dag
nosis and painstaking periodic
examination. This doesn't mean
the cure of disease is hopeless
unless diagnosed early.
The mentally unbalanced
patient, whose trouble is sec
ondary to goiter, is frequently
made permanently well in a
few days by the combined use of
medicine and thyroid surgery.
The frequency with which
unconscious patients, due to
neglected or unrecognized dia-
betes, are brought to normal
and live out the normal life
span, is further evidence that
late recognition of disease is
not hopeless.
But weeks and months of
anxiety and suffering can often
be saved by careful, regular
observation By q competent
physician.

Extra Linen Closet
i'm Bathroom

And speaking of extra space
consider if you can put a small closet
in your bathroom to hold the bath
linen thus keeping the linen closet
for sheets, pillow cases, blanket Gov
ers and blankets. In quite a small
space, two dozen towels, a dozen
wash rags and six bath towels can
be kept. Of course, it's the bathmat
and towels which are bulky, SO the
Studio suggested to our readers a
few months ago to keep a good pile
Of towels on towel racks. This
needn't make the family extrava-
giant with towels if you set some
rules. But for many, closet is wise,
so use your ingenuity, and look over
mail order catalogues to see if YOU
can find what you need-pre-sup-
posing YOU need more space. If you
don't there is no question.
