Greenbelt Health
Situation ReUiewed

In reviewing the current medl-
cal situation in Greenbelt, DR.. S.
R. Berenberg of the Health AS
sociation. releases the following
statement, for publication.
"Whereas the Federal govern
ment recommends one physician
for every 1900 people, Greenbelt
has only two full time physicians
for over 5000 people. Therefore,
it is highly important that the
time of the physicians, as well as
their health, be rationed If the
health of the community is to be
cared for. Home calls for ply
sicians should be called into the
Office (2121 as early as possible
in the day so that calls may be
made without wasting tires, time
OF gasoline. During the day, ex-
cept on Sunday, all calls should
be made to the Office. During the
evening, the identity of the
physician on call can be ascer-
tained by calling the drug store,
(22O1). Patients are requested
not to visit the physicians home
for medical care or advice, except
on special request of the physi-
clan. Night calls should be made
only in cases of real emergency.
"a large number of people who
have been giving themselves home
medical care are treating them
selves unwisely and even danger
ously. Radio programs and news
paper advertisements do not have
licenses to practice medicine. The
usual advice given in these adver-
tisements is either useless or po-
tentially dangerous. The number
of deaths from ruptured ap-
pendices is sufficient testimony to
the dangers inherent to the much
too popular laxatives and cath
artics for every known human i'll
ness.
The number of cases of
preventable pneumonia which have
followed Standardization has been
shockingly great.
parents are urged to be par
ticularly on the lookout for
chicken poX, German measles,
measles and whooping cough.
There are at present a number of
cases of each of these diseases in
Greenbelt, which have been i'm
ported here from other communi-
ties, and parents of these children
who visited Washington during
the Christmas season should be
particularly on the alert. 1t
should also be noted that there
is a town ordinance requiring the
reporting of all contagious dis
eases to the Department of Public
Health, Immediately on discovery.
Violation of this ordinance carries
a penalty ranging from So to
S25,"

Afraid Signal

For the information of
Greenbelt's newer residents,
and as a reminder to older
ones, the air raid signal here
is a fluctuating siren blast
lasting two minutes. The all
clear signal is one steady siren
blast.

Of vioIafing
Texas Law

HOUSTON, Tex.-Dec. 2-(FP)
President r. j. Thomas of the
United Auto Workers (CIO) and
CIO Sub-regional Director John
e. Grassland were acquitted of
violating the anti-labor, Christian
American-backed Manford law in
county court here Now 30.
They were arrested Sept. % in
Goose Creek for soliciting men,
bers for the Oil Workers Inter
national Union (CIO) without a
state license, forbidden since last
June under the Texas law. They
were acquitted on the technicality
that they were soliciting members
for a union other than their own.
Another aspect of the case re-
mained unclosed however. Thomas
several weeks ago was fined 500
and sentenced to three days in Jail
for contempt of court in violating
a court injunction forbidding him
to go ahead with his announced
test of the Manford law. This fine
and sentence were upheld by the
state supreme court and an appeal
is being prepared for the U. S.
supreme court. UAW attorneys
will argue that the law is un-
constitutional.

Not Democratic System
Saying that the P. r. system
was un-American and undemo-
ocratic, Mr.. Burke stated that it
was foreign to the American way
since it led to rule by minorities,
whereas, the American way has al
ways been majority rule. Carry
ing the P. r. system to its most
absurd point, he said the system
"would result in a hodge podge of
different minority interests work
ing against each other"
In place of the P. r. system, Mr..
Burke recommended the system of
marking X before the names of
the candidates seeking office. He
said the P. R. system had resulted
in confusion and that in the last
election, 3,677 votes were invali-
dated because Of improper mark
ing of the ballots, in addition to
6,744 votes which we're exhausted,
making a total of 10,421 votes
which could not be counted.

Why Subsidies
Have Tough
Going

DENVER, Dec. 8 (FP)-One Of
the possible reasons why enemies
of the people were able to confuse
so many people with their subsidy
ban proposals was revealed here by
the MI. Opinion Research Center
University of Denver.
Half the American people do not
know the present status of farm
subsidies and more than half are
unfamiliar with the meaning of the
term farm subsidy, recent MORO
poll disclosed.
When asked their Interpretation
of farm subsidy, AZ out of each 100
persons interviewed indicated rea-
sonably accurate understanding Of
the term, 20Fc gave an incorrect OF
doubtful explanation, and 31Fo
frankly admitted they didn't know.
Asked whether the government
is giving farmers subsidies at this
time, nearly half (49%o) said Yes,
while 79o said No, and 44%a con-
fessed ingnorance. Of those per-
sons who were familiar with the
meaning of subsidies, however, only
66 out of each 100 knew that the
government is giving subsidies.
