Jan propped her chin in her
hands and looked straight at Peter,
trying to think clearly. Something
about Peters attitude made her
suspicious Of him.
He was too glib with his expls-
nations to be quite convincing.
What was behind il He had been
drinking. she knew, but just as
evidently ne had thought out his
speech TO her beforehand.
The point was that they were
already married. Another cere-

Jan didn't think Peters father
would object TO her at all. He had
turned 10 her when he was in
trouble. and had been grateful for
her help.

DR.. RILEY DEFINES
CATCHING DISEASES
Reporting Communicable
Cases Regarded Very
Important

In case you don't happen to
know the why and wherefore of
communicable disease reporting,
here are the facts as outlined by
Or. r. H. Riley, director of the
State Department of Health:
Certain diseases are known as
communicable, or 'catching,' be-
cause they spread from person to
person; or, are contracted from
the use of contaminated water,
milk or other foods; through the
bites of infected insects; or from
animals. Physicians report the oc-
cuTrence of such diseases among
the persons under their care to the
health authorities in order that the
health departments may know
what diseases are prevalent, and
where, so that measures to prevent
II cir spread to the rest of the COM
munity may be gotten under way
promptly
The repOrtable or 'nOtifiable'
diseases include the fevers - ty-
phcid. tick-bite. undulant and tula-
remia; the so-called children's dis
eases such as measles, German
measles, mumps, diphtheria and
scarlet fever; infantile paralysis;
Influenza, tuberculosis and all
forms Of pneumonia; diarrhea and
dysentery; the venereal diseases
certain diseases of the eyes and in
addition, certain other special dis
eases, such as lockjaw, that must
nave immediate attention if life is
to be saved. Diseases that may be
contracted in certain industries OF
occupations - such as lead poison
ing, and some kinds of skin dis
eases - have also been made re-
portable.
physicians practicing in the
counties report the cases of com,
municable diseases they attend OF
that are brought to their attention
to the County Health Officer or di
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1941-07-18

rectly to the State Department q
Health; the physicians in Balti-
more City make similar reports to
the City Department of Health.
Responsibility for reporting the
catching diseases is not limited to
the doctors in attendance on such
cases. Parents, guardians, house
holders, hOtel-keepers, superintend-
ents of institutions, principals of
schools, public, private or parocb-
ial; masters of vessels; owners or
operators of dairies or ice cream
manufacturing or distributing
plants are also charged with the
duty of notifying the nearest health
officer of each actual or suspected
case of communicable disease that
comes under their observation.
"A health department is a de
partment of public safety - much
like a fire department. Immediate
reporting of diseases that are the
sources of danger to others is ask
ed in order that disease fighting
activities can be gotten under way
without delay. The State Depart
ment of Health has great apprecia-
ton of the ready cooperation Of
physicians and others charged with
this duty in this very important
service"

Titus 2:1-8
GOLDEN TEXT-Ye are the salt of
the earth.-Matthew 5:13.
The church has a grave respon-
slbility regarding alcoholic bev-
erages, but in recent years it has
largely failed to meet it with in
telligence and enthusiasm. Let us
never forget that the first business
OF the Christian and of the church
is to preach the gospel, winning men
to Christ. It is not our calling to
attempt by social or economic raeth-
DDS to right the wrongs of this world
Nor is ours social gospel with
the emphasis on social" But have
we forgotten that it is a gospel with
serious social implic cations and re-
sponsibilities?
The man, and the church, who fol-
lows Christ should be vitality con.
, ,clned about every influence in
american life which is destructive
to character, and right at the top
Of that list stands alcohol. To meet

illness has no testimony against the
sin round about it. In fact, its in
fiuence is definitely on the wrong
side. The Christian is to be in the
world, but not of it. He must live
with the sinners, but he must never
by word or deed, or even by his pres
ence in the wrong place, seem to
condone their sin nor fellowship
with them in it.
Here we have one of the horrible
weaknesses of our day. Men and
women who profess to follow Christ
whether they really do, only He
can judge indulge in social glass
Of VINE, or sip cocktail for the
sake of courtesy or attend gather
