Health Campaign
Opened By League
Drive For EdrlY Diagnosis
To Check tuberculosis
Under WQY

The Early Diagnosis Campaign Of
The Columbiana County Public Health
League opened April 16 and will con-
tinue until May 81, according to an
announcement made today by Joseph
H. Bishop, executive secretary Of the
association, in concentrated effort
to impress upon the public the neces-
sity of early diagnosis and prompt
and proper treatment of the disease.
The campaign will stress the cor
rect, modern methods of diagnosis
the tuberculin test and the chest
X-ray. The slogan this year is "A
Good X-ray Is Your Doctors Best
Aid in Discovering Early Tubercu-
losis"
This is the fourth year the Colum-
biana County Public Health League
has participated in the nationwide
Early Diagnosis Campaign held each
April by the National tuberculosis
Association and it's affiliated state and
local associations.
"The 1941 campaign has added sig
nificance in view of the great en-
phasis being placed on national health
as great factor in national de-
fense," said Mr. Bishop today.
"We've come a long way in our
fight against tuberculosis, but it's
pointless to talk about our victories,
because we're long way from hav-
ing the disease wiped out.
"When the disease is still killing
more persons between the ages of
Is and As than any other cause of
death, why waste time emphasizing
that it has been forced from the first
to the seventh place as cause of death
for the population as a whole?
"When tuberculosis is now killing
one person every eight and one-half
minutes, there's little satisfaction in
knowing that it once killed in this
country at the rate Of one person
every two or three minutes"
In Columbiana County during 1889,
The last year for which complete
figures are available, 10 persons i'll
with tuberculosis were discovered and
IL deaths occurred. In the entire
state of Ohio there were 2,946 deaths
from this cause.
Forty one deaths from tuberculosis
gives the County a rate of AGO per
100000 population as compared with
a rate of 1916 for the state during
the same period.

NafurdI CASING
Campaign Takes
Hold Over II. S,

A campaign launched by Local 9,
PWOC, of Austin, Minnesota, approx
mately six months ago to make the
consumers of the nation natural
casing conscious" is beginning to show
results.
The campaign which has pitted
natural castings, used in the making
Of sausages, against chemical castings
or artificial castings, is Of great i'm
portance to the workers of the pack
ing and its allied industries through
out the nation.
Estimates are that some 1900 en-
ployes Of the packing and allied in
dustries are directly engaged in the
use and processing Of natural castings.
The artificial casing, a cheaper and
inferior quality Of casing, chemically
composed has become direct threat
to the jobs of the $4,000 casing work
ers of the industry.
The exclusive use Of artificial cas-
ings instead of natural castings would
throw $4,000 casing workers out of
work, and it is because of this grave
situation that the campaign was ini-
tiated.
Resolution
Local 9, Of Austin, through its of
fetal publication, the Unionist, has
publicized the evils that would come
to the workers through the use Of
chemical castings instead Of natural
castings.
Local Q, through resolutions has
been successful in bringing the issues
before various labor conventions held
throughout the nation. The State
Convention backed the casing workers
and gave added incentive to the cam
paign.
The Austin Unionist has for months
featured front page editorials on the
casing struggle. Through its columns,
it has solicited support from other
unions as we'll as civic organizations
for the protection of the jobs and live
lihood of the nations $4,000 casing
workers and their families
