One of the greatest enemies fought by Americans
of all ages and races tuberculosis. Every citizen is in
the la class when it to the disease that has taken
more American lives since Pearl Harbor than have been
lost through enemy action.

lea although death rate has been reduced three
fourhs in the past forty years since the organization of
the tuberculosis Association.
The Importance of the work done by this Association
in the crusade against TB cannot be overemphaszed 1t

the 12lst Psalm.
Duane pointed out that the Lord, who
made the heavens and the earth, Meth

Los Angeles, Nov 24-AP- If

western nominee for the Rose Bowl
