County Losing Out In Fight Agdinst
tuberculosis, Hedlth League Head Says

1--WE are not winning the fight against
tuberculosis in Columbiana County"
stated DR.. Guy +: Byers, President Of
the Columbiana County Public Health
League, after reviewing some of the
cases of the disease on file at the
Health Leagues Office.
\ "If the condition that exists in our
County is allowed to remain" DR..
Bycrs continued, I'VE can expect to
lose all that has been gained in the
fight against tuberculosis in the last
ten years." DR.. Byers had particular
reference to the apparent inability Of
the county to provide sufficient tax
funds to assist in the disqualification
of those persons who are known to
have tuberculosis and who can not af-
ford to pay the cost themselves.

Byers, "is but one of many instances
where tuberculosis has struck. 1t is
the case of John.

A large crowd was in attendance at
the special meeting of Local Union No.
25 held last Thursday night. Brother
Robert Craven was elected to attend
the Wage Conference which opened
Tuesday in New York City.
The main topic of discussion was the
Navy Parade held August 1S. All mem
bers were of the same opinion, that it
was the largest and best parade ever
held in East Liverpool 1t was GER
tainly good to see SO many potters turn
out to march in body.
The only complaint from the members
was the fact that they had sore mus
cles the next day and would have pre-
ferred the parade held on Friday eve
ming so they could have stayed in bed
on Saturday morning. All in all, every
body had a good time marching and
will long remember their part in the
Navy Parade.
Our deepest sympathy is extended to
President Connolly in the death of his
brother.
There are number of our members
in arrears with their dues and if they
don't pay up soon they will be sus-
pended. Fifteen dollars is a lot of
money to pay for a. reinstatement, so

No. 1873 Doing Part
To Protect Hedlth
Of Men In Service
N. B. O. P. Given Credit For
Improved Sanitary
Conditions

New Castle, Pa-Members of Local
Union No. 1873, employees of the Uni
versal Sanitary are doing their share
for the boys in camp, even though they
can't participate in actual war. The
Universal products are used in the
training quarters to aid in the prOtec-
ton of health which is vital to our
armed forces.
Many of the vets from the last war
can tell you stories Of the lack of
proper sanitation which undoubtedly
accounted for the epidemics of disease
which killed so many of our boys in the
training camps. sss
Judging from the statements of some
of our boys regarding their good health
and improvement, both mentally and
physically, it seems the fellows left be-
hind could profit by training and build
up their bodies for later life When
you look at some of the men who work
in potteries you wonder how they stand
the dust and steady grind which is
developed on piece work jobs
y
No doubt all shops have many rooms
where the wOrkmen get very little
fresh air and breath the silica dust all
day. We recall that at one time in the
history of sanitary potteries great
effort was put forth to make the shops
sanitary by eliminating the dust and
installing fresh air conductors.
The N. b. of O. Z. has done much
to bring about proper health condi-
tions. Not only do they call it to the
attention of the manufacturers and
officials of the firms, but they have
provided sanatorium treatment for our
members. This treatment was in exist
ence long before the Workmen's Com
pensation bill was passed by state
legislatures. This method of caring for
our members has put many of them
back on their feet.
We would like to receive more letters
from the boys in the army camps, tell
ing about the value in rebuilding the
body and developing more pep, power
and perseverance. We have been read
ing about the value of girls camps and
how the fresh air, sunshine and eXer-
else does wonders for them. 1t seems
dance floor could do.
The members of this local wonder
though just how far the women will go
with this slack craze. You sometimes
