Tuberculosis League Pens Letter To Public Four Specific Groups Mentioned in Campaign Appeal Christmas Seal Sale Provides
 Funds to Aid Community.

2. Will all readers who feel tired, are losing weight, have little appe- tite, suffer from indigestion, have cough that hangs on, see a physi- clan. These conditions are the most usual symptoms of tuberculosis. Too frequently they are laid to a run down condition and ignored until actual illness forces medical exam ination.
 3. We appeal to young people. While tuberculosis attacks the aged, as well as the young-no one ever reaches an age that is safe from tuberculosis-the disease does its heaviest raiding during the young adult years. It particularly strikes during the teen years. And it kills more persons between Is and 45 than any other cause of death. Will all the younger readers get 8 clean tuberculosis bill of health by having a chest x-ray im- mediately. ...
 4. Will all readers who are work ing overtime, not getting enough rest and relaxation, and who, per- haps, are being forced to live in ver-crowded quarters, be particu- larly careful of their physical con- dition. The tuberculosis germ read- fly takes advantage of any lowering of the body's resistance. A chest K ray examination can be one of the best investments you can make with a small part of your overtime wages.
 Please call on us for information regarding what you should do to protect your health during these strenuous times.
 To all of you in these four groups, as well as all other readers of The Democrat, we want to Say--We know that when you feel all right 1t takes intelligence and courage to be eX- amined deliberately for tuberculosis and face the chance of finding that you have it. But don't think you are borrowing trouble. If you've caught the disease, (and you may have TB and still feel all right) sooner or later you1 lpay the price of active tuberculosis. And, If much later, you may have to pay the full price.
 "The sooner the better" has no closer application than in tubercu- losis. Early discovery of the disease means early recovery Late discov- cry means a long, often losing, fight for recovery.
 If you do have tuberculosis, the association is here to help you. While we cannot pay for your hos pital care--that is beyond our prov ince as a non official community organization-we will do all in our power to help you get competent medical and hospital care.
 The chances are strong that your chest X-ray will not show active disease. But make sure. Make sure for your own sake. Make sure for the sake of those closely associated with you.
 Through the purchase of Christ mas Seals you finance us to do 8 vital job for you, your family and for those less fortunate than you wiping out the menace of tubercu- losis. We are trying do 1t. But, we must have your cooperation. You must do your part by coming to us if we, to repeat, are to give you value received for your Christmas Seal dollars.
 We trust you will answer this let ter in person by visit to a physi- cian."

WAR DEPARTMENT
 POLITICAL RULES
Military May Enter POliti- cal Races, Hold Public
 Office, in Certain Ways

Washington, Ajril 2 -- (U.P0 - The War Department ruled today that members of the National Guard, reserve officers and selectees may enter political races and hold public office under certain circum- stances.
 The ruling on political activity of military personnel does not ap- ply to the regular army, whose members are barred in all cases from participation in political ac- tivities. The ruling on guardsmen, reserves and selectees stemmed from policy formulated last Sep tember 26 by the Adjutant General.
 At that time, prior to U. s. entry into war, the Adjutant General noted that certain members of the reserve components, now on extend- ed active duty, are in leave status from public offices held by them prior to entering upon active duty and that some may wish to seek election or reelection during their period of active duty"
 The adjutant general held that if the affected person could accom- plish his campaign on his ordinary leave and If the election and occu- pancy of civil office would not in- terfere with military duties the War Department would consider exempt ing him from army regulations against political activities.
 The department recalled that on July IA, 1941, the Attorney General -concurred in an opinion of the War Department that National Guards men are not subject to provisions of the Hatch Act forbidding political activities of federal employees.

THE LAST SNOWFALL

The last snow of the season Came the tenth of an April day, And for some particular reason, Very quickly went away It came here in the night time When all nature was asleep, . 1t soon vanished in the sunshine And ran down the street Snowfakes the whitest Of anything know They came down from the clouds, And down the stream they go. But now is Is the fourth month of the year, And tho snow is really out of season. Very soon twill disappear If not what is the reason? SNll see some little spots of snow, Awaiting here and there For another beam of sunshine To come gstening through the air. Those little twigs think you know, Just bent over toward the ground While holding up that April fall of snow No bare spots could anywhere be found So goodbye to all the snow And farewell ali the cold, Wherever we may chance to so, While we wander to and fro

 "T do net claim to find oils only drilling can do this," Ferguson said "but my method does 90 Q long way toward on economical analysis Of soil and well cuttings.

 Tt is especially valuable in ana. lyxing well cuttings. It is possible to show whether or not oil or gas may Do expected at lower depths h any drilling we'll" Ferguson explained.
 Here Is Fergusoil'S procedure:

YOUNG DOCTOR USES MOISTURE
 TO HEAL BURNS
BY RICHARD 4. KRNDRHCK LEJnlteA Preas Etafg COrrespondentl

(UnIted Press stan COrespondent)
 chicago, April IA - (U.P) = pr. Sidney smith, Jr, scientific prize winer as an undergraduate for his discovery of sugar rod "darning eggs" for sewing torn blood vessels, has revealed c new treatment for serious burns.
 In Q thesis for 6 masters degree, the Rush Medical College graduate recommends Q warm, moist air treatment-"air ointinent"-instend of the common chemicals now used for serious burns.
 Smith has been engaged in re- search at the University of Chicago for the past two years. Two years ago, as e junior, he won the Harry qinsburg Memorial prize for invent- ing the sugar-rod "darning egg"
 He solved the knotty problem of sewing the delicate tissue of injured blood vessels by the use of sugar rods to hold the tiny tubes firm dur ing the operation. The rods, insert- ed into the torn ends Of the blood vessel to be patched, dissolve in the blood stream after the severed edg- es of the tube are stitched.
 Says ISsenS Infection
 Smiths new theory for the treat { rnent of burns resulted from his rec cent experiments with rats in which he discovered that warm moist air proved superior to applications of tannic acid and butesin picrate oirlt- ment.
 Neither tannic acid nor butesin picrate ointment possess specific ac- celerative healing action on the basis of experiments, Smith report- ed, It seems their main function is to provide an insoluble coagulant over the wound, he added.
 Infection under the coagulaflt produced by tannic acid has been reported many times and consti- tutes the chief objection to It's use as Q medicine" Smith asserted. .>
 Alkalinity Delays Healing
 Four weeks of experiments with rats showed that 70 to s2 per cent of the animals given the lair oint. ment" were healed compared to 63 per cent given the butesin picrate and only 48 per cent given the tan- nic acid. Combination of the lair ointment" with either of the other agents did not improve the rate Of healing.
 smith tested his new method by enclosing the burned surface in Q humidity chamber which was kept at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. He found that debris of the wound softened and sloughed off within five days, aecelerating the healing action.
 Alkalinity of tissue IS regarded as important in promoting infection, and dryness brings about alkalinity. smith pointed out. He explained that by preventing dryness, his moist air treatment avoids the "chief fac- tor delaying wound healing"

U. s. Has CommandOS- Plenty Tough
U MARNE APFBoUs CORPS s TRAINED FOR SLAsHNG AAcK
By DAVENPORT STEWARD NEA Service Stan Correspondent

MIA BefVlU0 Bt@M SuEesp0ma0MB
 Atlanta, 0a., April i4-They don't call them American Confnandos, but that's what the men of the .. 6. Marines Ainphibious Corps really are. These Marine landing parties, trained not for defense, but for slashing attack, are virtually the same type of troops as the famed British Commandos.
 To q public hungry for news of what our armed forces are doing, the U. Q. Marines point with un- bashful pride to their amphibious organizations. Ever since the Presi- dent announced the state of limited emergency in i040, the Marine Corps has been training special troops as an assault force. Today they're ready.
 These American Coinnandos" are tough-inake no mistake about 1t. They're trained in everything from Jiu-Jitsu to the toughest major offensive. If the enemy doesn't want to play according to Marquis of Queensberry rules, then the Marines will play his way--only better. For close fin fighting, they're taught to use either razor-edged knives or bayonets; they're taught to use knees, thumbs and feet if no wea- pons are left to them.
 There's nothing the British Commandos have that we haven't got" declares Major Meigs o. Frost, Marine Corps public relations oft1- cer for the South. Tn fact, c stib- stantial share of Americans landing party equipment has been going in Q steady stream to the British for many months"
 THEY'RE MERCHANTS
 OF SUDDEN DEATH
 Roughly, the Amphibious Force is divided into two organizations- the Atlantic and the Pacific Am. phlbious Corps. Included in each corps are sea soldiers, infantry, Marine aviation squadrons, Marine mechanical units and a-filarines, as the Marine Corps parachute troops are called.
 No longer are landings effected only by open whaleboats, as was formerly the case. Today the Ma rirleS land dryshod under cover of q smoke screen with all the most modern equipment of blitz warfare. The Marine ainphibians are sep- arate from other units of the Ma. rire Corps in that the men are all highly trained specialist in sabo- tage and sudden death. Like all Marines, they must so through boot" camp at Paris Island, s. O., or San Diego, Cal, but there the similarity ends.
 After six weeks of this basic training, potential parachutistS are sent to Lakehurst, N. J., for further training and toughening; the rest of the men selected for these out- fits either continue at San Diego or are sent to New River, N. 0.
 Paramarines are trained to step out of planes at extremely low alti- tudes. Each man is armed with pistol, knife and sack Of hand grenades ;ecah man knows how to cut high-tension wires safely, how to wreck complicated machinery; how to demolish bridges and build ings; and show to fight his way out of q tough spot.
 Along q 20-mlle stretch of beach in onslow County, N. O., and along onee-populous beach near San Diego, the Marines are again shout ing:
