STUDENTS GIVEN
TB EXAMINATIONS

DR.. A.. H. Elliot, city-county
health officer, reported Friday
that nearly 200 students from the
freshman and senior classes in
the two local High schools react
ed positively to skin tests for tu-
ber"',losis given several weeks
ago, and that X-ray examinations
will be made March % on those
found % be infected.
DR.. Elliot emphasized that posi-
tive reaction does not necessarily
mean that the child is in any
way sick with tuberculosis. 1t does
mean that he has had sufficient
exposure to the germs to warrant
halt in possible development of
the disease.
Letters are going forward from
the Health department to the par
ents requesting that parental sane
ion of the X-ray examinations be
given. The fee is $1.0O.
1T is advisable" DR.. Elliot
said, ''to have all positive reac-
tors X-rayed to see if the infec-
ton has produced any evidence of
disease in the lungs or in the
glands at the root of the lungs.
If the disease has made this much
progress an X-ray will warn us
so that with proper food and rest
and convalescence from other dis.
eases the child may lead nor.
NAL life and never be sick with
TB.

Behind The Scenes
American Business
BY John Cruddock

Business big and little had
its eyes on Washington this
week. The Baruch plan for de-
mobilization. and the slowly i'm
proving prospects for more civ

for indications of the magnitude
of the problems that both bust
ness and government must face.
The Baruch report. which at
first glance seemed to be a pro-
blem for only big business to
worry about. proves upon ex-
animation to affect every city,
town and village in America,

with the least possible disturb
ance, but it recognizes that dis
turbance is inevitable.
In many communities already
local civic and business groups
are discussing with the local
war contractors and sub-con-
tractors their plans for postwar
production. Merchants are con-
cerned because they know that
their business can be sound only
if the people are gainfully en-
! ployed.
The other Washington devel-
opment of interest to merchants
everywhere is the growing real
iZation of the necessitv for re-
sumption of more civilian pro-
duction before the war is over.
