BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

THE war has not relaxed the
L vigilance of health au-
thorities in the United States.
Canada, Mexico and Central
America. with the result that
the health Of the civil popula-
ton on this continent Is better
than IL was before the war.
But not so in the rest of the
=weFidr- - --------
The problem of reconstruction
will be enormously complicated
by these grim conditions.
II can perhaps best be Illus
trated by the situation in tuber-
culosis. .-
For Is years there has been
a worldwide decline in incidence
OF tuberculosis, accelerated irp-
mensely, especially in this
country, during the last three
decades by deliberate planning
and campaigning.
IN 1889 when the war started
A=in-Eurepe the mortality
from tuberculosis in the United
States was AZ. In 1943 il was
az. Canada's experience has
been about the same.
In England and Wales the
rate rose during the first years
of war from 81 to 90, but from
1911 II has again declined.
In countries where the raw
ages Of war have been an i'm
mediate experience, however,
the story is entirely different.
Statistics are naturally spotty,
but we have some reliable ones.
In Paris the tuberculosis NOR
tally rate rose 10 per cent
during the first six months OF
194l, over 1899. Among chill
dren the rate has increased 80
per cent.
In Holland and Belgium the
increase is so per cent since the
beginning of the war. In Ger
many from 1889 10 1912 the in
crease is "a per cent. In Rome
$3.50 persons died from tuber-
culosis in the first half of 1914
compared TO an annual average
pre-war mortality of 1,200.

"Warships of the WOrld'' Authors Insure Manu- script Against All
 Possible Loss or Damage

The authors of "Warships of the World" Roger Kafka and Roy L. Peperburg, believe they are the only writers to have insured their manuscript, and the 800 photo graphs and 200 drawings repro duced in their book. against fire, theft, loss, damage by flood, ty- phoon, acts of war, or sabotage. Kafka and Pepperburg considered this material for "Warships of the World' {published by the Cornell Maritime Press, June 26, 1944) so valuable that they insured it for $3500 with the National Liberty Insurance Company of America for six months preceding publica- tion. Incidentally, the manuscript which consists of the latest data on all the worlds warships includ- ing authoritative descriptions of g navies of the world and over 900 stories of naval actions in World War II, was not written out in the usual form but jotted down on 12,000 5" 2" file cards.

At the same meeting retroac- tive pay was gotten for Miss A. Kwasniewski, a machinist learner who had been denied her retroac- tive money.
 Miss KwasnieWSki had asked the Company to give her leave of absence in which she could go to California for family reasons. She was told that 1t would be best for her to sever her employment with the Company and be reinstated upon her return. When she came back her job was no longer wait ing for her and she was forced to obtain work elsewhere. During this time the retroactive payment Of pay increases became due and Miss KwasniewSki was told that 1t could not apply to her as she had quit the company.
 When the Union brought out the full facts of the case and demand ed the right thing be done by the company, the company came through with settlement.
