Public Health Problem

This indicates that tuberculosis
is very largely a public health
problem, with which conclusion
everyone, | think, will agree. A
great deal of the work, however,
is being done by representatives
of the National tuberculosis As
ISOLATION and this work is financed
by the sale of Christmas seals each
year. A very small amount of
money spent by everyone who is
able TO buy a few leaves of these
seals, and that includes nearly
everybody in the United States
today, will assure your community
of an intelligent attack upon tu-
berculosis during the coming year.
Remember that during war
years the necessity for tubercu-
losis control increases rather than
decreases and the need for funds
and for active preventive work is
greater than under normal condi-
tons. In Germany the tubercu-
losis death rate rose from l43 per
100000 in 1914 to 230 in 1918. In
the United States the rate in
creased from lat per 100000 in
1914 to $50 in 1918. Let US see
to it that this record is not re-
peated during the present war if
it is possible to prevent such a
repetition by buying one dollars
worth of Christmas seals.
There are good psychologist and
. economic reasons why tuberculo-
sis control must be active rather
than left to the initiative Of the
individual.
The psychological factor in
volved is that tuberculosis is an
insidious disease which develops
very slowly-usually without dra-
matte symptoms that brighten the
patient or make him go to a doc
tor.
1t also VIGOROUSLY leaves the
patient rather cheerful. Every
tendency is for the patient TO put
off an examination for slight i'll
health such as weakness, gradual
loss of weight, chronic cough, pal
lor, anemia and little afternoon
fayar

TO WALK MY POST

An army post, like a civilian
community, provides its own SER
vices: police, fire prevention, san
itation, water supply, garbage
disposal, land improvement, and
sometimes even building con-
struction and road repair. This
means that you take your turn
with other soldiers in helping to
provide these services. This, the
officers tell you, is the democrat
ic way, to share alike the hard
work and the pleasures, the obi
cations and the privileges.
The most important part of the
services is police protection. This
responsibility is borne in part by
the military police, a company of
men especially trained in traffic
control and the art of spotting
soldiers wearing their uniforms
improperly while on furloughs.
The police work that concerns the
Individual soldier most is called
interior guard"
Interior guard protects the
property and the personnel of
the government. 1t is system of
sentries patrolling the camp or
some portion of it. The area to
be guarded is divided into posts"
which are somewhat similar to
the beats of civilian policemen.
Each post covers a specified area
and connects with an adjoining
post, all Of them encircling the
guarded area. Each sentry post
is manned by three soldiers, who
take turns patrolling, relieving
each other at tWo-hour intervals.
The sentry not on duty stays at
the guardhouse; at Camp Forrest,
it is a guard tent next door to the
guardhouse.
Weekend Guard
One of the most horrible things
that can happen to a man in the
infantry is to catch guard duty
on a weekend. When that hap
pens, the unfortunate sentry can
sometimes find somebody to take
his place. But the standing rate
is 81, and if soldier has to pay
that much money to avoid going
on guard, he might just as we'll
remain on the post anyhow.
The guard is "mounted"-that
means relieving the preceding
guard-each afternoon before re-
treat. Guard mount may be for
NAL, which is a complicated but
impressive ceremony on the pa
rade ground; or it may be infor-
NAL, which is brief ceremony in
front of the guardhouse. In any
case, the "officer of the guard in
spects the rifle of each sentry and
any man with a dirty piece is
likely to be confined to his bar

plicating-machine operators, the
use of millions of dollars forth

(so-in-so) and be recognized. -
When he advances and the sentry
recognizes him and is convinced
that his business is on the up-in-
up, he allows him to pass. If
more than one person approaches
his post, the soldier halts all of
them and commands, Advance,
one to be recognized" This sort
of thing goes on until each mem
Der of the party has advanced and
has been recognized.
Officers tell you that it is a
privilege to be on guard, as we'll
as responsibility. And when
you come to think about it, it is
pretty important, even when your
regiment is not in combat. One
error in judgment, one little cat
nap, may bring disaster to all
your comrades. Matter of fact,
they can shoot you for that!

racks for a day or so.
The officer of the guard, who
is assisted by a sergeant and a
corporal taken from the same
company that provides the pri-
Yates of the guard, is responsible
to an "officer of the day." Each
day, in rotation, an officer of the
post is designated as officer of
the day, to be responsible to the
post commander for the safety
and good order Of the post. His
duties are broad, including not
only supervision and inspection
of the guard but also enforcement
of all police regulations and gen.
eral supervision of activities of
the post. If fire breaks out, it
is he who must be reached in
stantly. He can be reached by
phone through the message CEN
ter of the post, or at the guard
house, or through any sentry.
Looking Smart Counts
The smartest-looking soldier In
a guard detail is designated as
orderly to the colonel. The colo
mel already has an orderly and
this lucky fellow usually ends up
with a 24-hour pass. When it is
NV turn to go on guard, 1 make
sure that my rifle and uniform
are their cleanest, that stand at
attention properly and execute
the manuel of arms with preci-
sion. But, alas, all to no avail,
for the highly-coveted honor in
variably goes to some insignifi-
cant little guy in the rear rank,
whose shoes always, miraculous
ly, outshine mine.
AS you walk your post-that is,
as YOU march back and forth from
one end of your beat to the other
you are supposed to keep your
head up and be as soldierly as
possible. 1.-The eyes of all who
pass are on you," warns the Off
Ger of the day.
You walk post in a military
manner but need not maintain a
30-inch step or a cadence of 12O
a minute, as in marching. Your
rifle may be on the right should
er or the left, or in the rain may
be carried with the barrel down.
You do not execute formal a
bout face when you turn around
the end of your post each time
unless, of course, you take your
guard duty more seriously than
most soldiers. You merely keep
a military bearing whatever that
is-and an alert mind, being "a
ware of your heavy Individual
responsibility.
When anybody approaches his
post, however, a sentry does be-
come precise in his movements.
Or he'll wish he had. If an Of
ficer approaches or passes by, the
sentry salutes by facing him and
coming to a snappy present arms,
maintaining it as he would a
hand salute, until it is acknoW-
lodged.
"WhO Goes There?"
At night, a guards special or
ders may require him to chal-
lenge anybody approaching his
post. This he does by marching
rapidly toward him and, when a.
bout 80 PAGES away, executing
port arms and commanding,
Halt, who goes there" If the
person fails to halt, the guard re-
oeats the command. When he has
1alted and identified himself as
a friend and not an enemy, the
sentry then commands, advance

Facts For Farmers

When disking land, don't forget
to turn down grease cups several
times each day. If pressure lubri-
cation is used, be sure to wipe the
fitting with a clean rag before ap-
plying the grease gun, say U. S.
Department of Agriculture engin-
eers. If no excess grease appears
on the outside of the bearing, with
continued application, the fitting or
hole is probably clogged and should
be given good cleaning.
One reason for planning your
garden carefully with pencil and
paper before you plant is to make
sure that you will have a variety of
vegetables all season long, points
out e. P. Brasher, truck crop spec
ialist for the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service. One of the mis-
takes of many beginning gardeners
and careless gardeners is planting
so that they have too many veget-
ables at one time and not enough
or none at all other time. One week
the garden will be swamped with
greens more than enough to eat.
The next week no greens are ready
in the garden. That sort of hit
and-miss is hard on the family
meals and family appetites.

The Dover business Office of the

its new qquarters, on the first floor
of 124 South State street on Mon
day, March 16, C. Burton Sypherd,
manager of the company, has an
nounced. While installation of dial
equipment in the new central Of
flee is not completed, the southern
portion of the structure, which was
planned to house the business Of
flee, is ready for occupancy. The
new Office will be of the counterless
type, according to Mr.. Sypherd,
which means that all business will
be transacted at desks. Accommo-
dations have been provided for five
representatives of the commercial
department. Near the entrance is
a cashiers desk for the payment of
bills. Business hours at the new
office will be the same, from $50
a. m. until 5 p. M, except Satur-

noon.
Residents of Dover and vicinity
have become familiar by this time
with the large mullioned bay win
dow that is a dominant feature of
the new central Offices architec-
ture. The interior color scheme is
a warm, neutral color that blends
perfectly with the Georgian Colon
ial design of the building. Inlaid
linoleum covers the floors. The
is indirect. Mr.. Sypherd
said that occupancy of the new

space, would add to the service and
convenience the telephone company
would be able to provide to sub

Milford Cross Roads, Union and

of work done by the Three-In-One
Club members indicate that during
the first nine months of 1941 this
group of 20 farm women knitted
103 garments and made 1901 sewed
garments for the Red Cross. In ad-
dition to this they sewed Sc gar
ments for the Needlework Guild.
Work done for the Red Cross by
these rural women is under the
Leadership of Mrs. Oliver Eastburn,
club chairman for the Red Cross,
and sewing for the Needlework
Guild is under the direction of Mrs.
George Allcorn, club director for
the Needlework Guild. Members
meet once or twice each month for
sewing bees and gete as many gar
ments made as possible. At the
close of the meeting they take their
sewing and knitting and additional
materials for more garments to
their own homes to return them as
finished articles at the next club
program or sewing meeting. This
year women of the Milford Cross
Roads, Union and Fairview COM
munities have set a goal-100 COM
pleted garments each month =
which surpasses the number of gar
ments made last year. A report of
their progress so far during Janu-
ary and February of this year
shows they are meeting this goal
and more too. In January 225 gar
ments were completed and 205 gar
ments in February. This record of
achievement and spirit of coopera-
tion is just one instance of the
work being done by similar groups
of rural women throughout Della

Packaging Now
Big Problem
Save Feed Bags and Oil Cans

Most everything that is sold has
to be packaged. The things generally
used are burlap, tin, cotton, hemp
paper, and glass. Now burlap, tin.
hemp have been cut off by the wal
in the Pacific, and the government
has taken over 2/3 of all the burlap
in the country.
Every purchaser of feed should
treat EVERY feed bag as though II
might be the last. Store feed in rat
proof, weather-proof containers and
whip out the bags, hanging them out
of reach of damage. Return them
for credit on the next purchase OF
send them in bundles of 100 to the
Premium Bag Co., Boston ST., Bal
timore, where the best prices will be
paid for all in Al condition.
A government ruling has put a
stop to the packing of motor oil in
tin cans. Tin is needed for more
important war jobs. Buyers of motor
oil should save and keep in the best
of condition the motor oil cans that
will be needed to use for re6lling
from bulk hereafter.
