Present War Conditions Seen as Health Menace;

In view oe present day olrcana- stances oG overorowtled living on- ditions, longer hours of work, the rising costs of food, and increased mental and physical strain, the ielS Early Diagnosis Campaign becomes the most Important the Waterbury Anti.Tuherculosis League has ever held, Tn an effort to convince WA- terburiRns of the seriousness Of the tuberculosis menace which does not show symptoms until 1t Is In its nd- vanced stage, literature will be diss tributed, radio talks given, and mos ton pictures will be shown.
 Although Waterbury did not ex- perience an alarming rise In tuber. ulosis during lo42, 1t must be re. memhered that during this time the population did not undergo real wartime conditions. Even though the chances are small that this city will he subjected to the stark cou- ditions now prevailing In Europe, nevertheless, as our way of living becomes steadily more strict and strenuous, we face an upsurge of tubckCuAooAs, NN.H
 Tn the city last year, there was no increase In the number of tuher- culosis deaths. An increase of 36 was experienced in the number of new cases of this disease, however. This Increase was partly due to the use of letter case finding methods which made possible the discovery of early, curable cases of this dls- ease.
 For tho 18th year a concentrated effort will be made to urge the peo- pie of Waterbury to put into prac- tiose the cardinal principle of tuber- culosis prevention and cortrol-- Early Diagnosis, plus prompt treat- ment under competent medical care, speeds recovery and checks the spread of this disease.

bruislng front, came away Wltn some impressions that are bound to be eniightening to lot of us who have wondered how the Russians have been able to hold and advance aganist the horde of Nazi invaders.
 Graebner gives much of the credit to the women of Russia. Regiment ed in great numbers, they are doing more than a mans work in order to free their husbands and sons for duty on the front. They labor in machine shops, on farms, In muni- ton factories and tank shops. You get the idea if 1t wasn't for their efforts, the western front would have fallen long ago.
 Rather alarming is Graebner's summary of the status of religion in Russia. He cites, for instance, that at the time of the revolution, there were less than 60, and now there are only %. Religion, however, is probably on the upturn from all indications. Citing as an example, the author points to Father Braun, former American priest, who now has been more than 5000 in his flock in Moscow.
 Through the book is the ever present Russian plea for a second front. Russia will win its war with German, the Reds have no doubt. But it will be made much shorter struggle if they have the diversion ary aid that q second front will offer, they contend.

 Some of these findings are dis- puted by more conservative due. cators. However. the war brought about abandonment of the old col.

The Death OF Jack Titcomb

No death in years came as more of a shock here
than that Of Jack Titcomb young navy fher who died
in San Diego Friday as result Of injuries suffered
in an air crash the day before
Born and reared in this city he made host of
friends as he grew to manhood Because of his CHEEKY
disposition, to know him was to love him. No boy
ever had more friends.
We. shall forever remember a letter Jack wrote
this paper and appearing in Letters From Ser
vice Men" column just week before the young man
died He said, in part: II was sorry to hear that
Frank Reed was killed in action for knew him we'll,
who wouldn't remember a school friend know every
son in the service from Nogales will throw punch
at the Japs for Frank when they get chance Some
are doing that right and hope to get my chance
soon."
Perhaps when Jack made his last flight the one
that cost him his lfe he thinking of the day soon
when he would be throwing punch at the Japs.
Needless say the hundreds of local young men III
uniform whose sentiments Jack expressed regarding
the death of Frank Reed likewise see the new loss of
comrade in arms as added incentive for carrying
the fight to the enemy.
Jacks mother and sister have the sympathy of
the entire community in their bereavement.

Most neople have little trouble finding use Tor
their money The Tomatero Association, however,
has been receiving suggestions for two months
in regard to spending the money raised by ther an
nual fiesta None has yet been approved
Last week members of the high school sociology
class nointed out that this city needs commendabe
recreational facilities to end a growing tendency
toward juvenile delinquency in this along with all
other cities While many plans suggested TO the
Tomateros have been of obvious merit, none would
affect as many people provide as vital service as
that put forward by the high school youngsters
Today Nogaes does not have even a puOhc PARK
to provide healthful, pleasant surroundings along
with playground equipment for the amusemeh. OF
Young people Our attractive, restful city park III
The center Of town appeals predominatey to older
neople It does not contain the necessary space re-
quired for play. -.
Providing suitable site could be found, the
Tomateros have sufficient funds to establish park
that would be gathering place for children and ado
lescents The only drawback to this plan is that 1t
would supply recreation for little over seven onths
of the year During late fall and winter the city
would remain devoid Of wholesome entertainment Tor
the younger set. ~
More effective but also difficult to operate,
would be an indoor lounge and play center along the
lines Of USO establishments. This setup WOULD have
its greatest appeal high school students who are at
one of the most critical periods of their life. Some
means of chaperoning the guests would have to be
provided, which would complicate matters
The wide variety of table and floor games avail
able would supply an endless source OF amusement
The place could be made partially sef-sustalnng by
charging very low fees for the use OF larger equip
ment such as bowling alleys.
To be a success this sort OF recreation center
would need to be centrally located Nogaes still has
a number of vacant buildings suitable for use we
also have a so-called civic building.

To Hasten Victory

No American wants this war
to go one minute beyond the
time we can bring it to vic
tOriOus end. To hasten that
victOry-to save possibly the
lives of millions of our boys
on our far flung frOnts-it is
imperative that every Ameri-
can do his part in the Second
War Loan. There is an in
vestment to fit every purse.
The most you can do is little
enough compared with the sac
rifice offered by our boys in
service. They give their iives
you lend your money.
