Every citizen is called upon to
see that not a pound of paper

clerk that any unnecessary

dispensed with.
Waste paper for paperboard

zippers for Army goods. The ma
jority CT these men are semi-skill-

More than 100 Negroes are en-
ployed, approximately one-third in
semi-skilled operations, at the New
Britain Machine Company. Other
New Britain firms using Negroes
for the first time include the Skin
ner Chuck Company, which recent
ly employed machine operator,
ard the Stanley Works, which has
hired two Negro women production
workers. The Chase Manufacturing

The Waterbury Clock Company,

the employment of Negro women.
The first colored girl went to work
there last week.
Similar Developments have been
noted in the New York City area

the effort of all the examinations
done SO that the standards of the
Negro race can and will be raised.
tuberculosis occurs in the Negro
about twice as often as it does
In the white race. When it is
found, each case is sent to the
Mississippi State tuberculosis
Sanatorium for confirmation OF
the diagnosis and treatment. We
are happy to say that we are ma
terially lowering the Incidence OF
tuberculosis in all races and with
the careful study of the disease in
this young age group Of 81 to SO
where it occurs most frequently,
we know we are able to lower
the disease rate and incidence.
The teeth of the reg;strants of
Mississippi are unusually good with
tota rejection rate of about 2
percent with less than percent of
the total reflections being for Den
tai causes. But the teeth of the
Negro are about twice as good as
in the white race. Only about one
half of the rejection rate Of the
whites are found in the colored
and that primarily is due to the in
crease in the disease Gingivitis Gin
flammation of the gums.
The Venereal Disease rate is high
in the colored race and we are
making every effort as stated
above in regard to Syphilis to
combat this problem. Much head
way has been made, but more edu-
cation and light along this line
is the crying need at this time.
Hernia occurs more frequently
in the Negro and plans are under
way now to offer plan for the
operation of and correction of
this defect SO that these people
will be physically fit. 1t is plan
ned that this be done at Govern
ment expense by the Family Sur
geon.
Nervous and Mental diseases
are known to occur more frequent
ly in the higher educated and in
classes under nervous tension and
it is lacking in the group of young
er Negroes that we have examined.
Certainly it is not problem for
our nation at this time.
The statue and weight as well as
the general physique of the Negro
is well adapted to the outdoor mill
tary life and is applicable to the
Army at this time. It is known that
most Negroes are more than will

tory that is surely to be ours. We
are anxious that this attitude con-

will.
