Rheumatic Fever Is
Enemy Of Childhood
tcontlnued from First parel


matie heart disease within a short
time after he has had tonsillitis,
scarlet fever or a 'streptococcus
sore throat"
Avoid Sore Threats
The State Board of Health warns
mothers to do everything possible
to prevent their children from hav-
ing colds and sore throats. Rheu-
matte fever is at its peak in the
late winter and early spring when
sore throats are prevalent. Its
outbreaks are thought to be worse
in cold, damp climates.
Keep children dry, warm, and
away from persons with colds or
other infections. Rest, play, sun
shine, and nourishing food help
to build up children so that they
may ward off sickness.
Symptoms
The earliest warning signals of
rheumatic fever are slight fever,
nOsebleeds, loss of appetite, failure
to gain weight, rapid heart action,
and pain (often vague and fieeting)
in joints and muscles. These rather
vague signs and symptoms make
the disease difficult to recognize
in its early stages and that is why
parents should consult their phys
ician if their child has any of these
symptoms which they cannot read
lily explain. Later, definite signs
may be very painful and infammed
joints. high fever, nodules under
the skin, and sometimes st. Vitus
Dance (also called chorea) causing
aimless nervous twitching. Not all
cases have painful joints or ner-
vous twitching, however.
If parents understand rheumatic
fever and the danger from its SER
nous after effects-if the symptoms
are recognized early and the treat
ment begun at Once-much suffer-
ing and many deaths could be
avoided, according to the State
Board of Health.

more profitably. or if he hasn't the
answer to a special problem he
can refer it back to the Extension
Service for solution.
The volunteer leader system has
been organized in every neighbor-
hood in the state to help the farmer
get such information more easily.
You can call your neighborhood
leader on the local telephone line
or stop by on your way from town.
Your neighborhood leader has
been chosen for the job not neces-
sarily because he is the smartest
man in the community. but because
he is willing to spend some of his
valuable time to help you get any
information you need in carrying
on your farm work. Since he is a
volunteer worker, there is no
charge for his help.
The information he can give you
will help you make better profits,
but right now that is not the most
important advantage. 1t will also
help you produce more food with
the facilities you have. Our war
effort and national welfare depend
on the farmers producing every
ounce of food he can. To get max
imum production with a minimum
of labor and materials, he must
make use of every improved meth
cd developed.
Use the information your neigh
borhood leader can supply to help
yourself and your country-FOOd

quantity consumed in 1941-42, and
nearly 25 million cases less than
the supply available during the
current season.
IAN increase in the 1914 pack

seasons would mean a larger guam

the pack falls below average, civil

Special provisions are included in the
bill to stimulate postgraduate study on
the part of practicing physicians. Grants
in-aid will be provided for socially de-
sirable projects requested by hospitals,
medical schools and nonprofit agencies
for research in medical education and
for the prevention of disease and disa-
bility. AS a result of these benefits and
of the aid to improved medical practice
given by X-ray, laboratory and other
benefits, many physicians will provide
better and more satisfactory type of
care to their patients than is possible
under present methods of practice
These are the provisions of the bill
against which certain physicians, some
newspaper editors, and other misguided
people have been raising such hue and
cry. The destructive attitude of group
of medical politicians toward this piece

WASHINGION.-(FP)-Rep Martin
Dies (D.-Tex.) gave the House a preview
of his committees pending smear report
on the CIO political action committee
March 9 in an hour long redbaiting at
tack on the political committee.
Dies arose on a point of personal priv
ilege to answer charges preferred against
him by the CIO committee and the Ma
tional Lawyers Guild In detailed
statement three days earlier the lawyers
group called on Congress to halt the
Dies committee Conspiracy against the
war effort.
Asserting the CIO committee was
"levying tribute" on the CIO member
ship to raise 50 million. Dies melodra-
matically accused the committee of
undermining the confidence Of the
people in our parliamentary system Of
government
In top demagogic form, Dies said that
the strategy Of the political action COM
mittee had been conceived by the Com

there were more than 500 Communists
on the CLIO committees payroll.
Dies also took an excursion into Jew
batting, warning minority groups who
enjoy the protection of the American
Constitution-not to engage in the same
typ Of intolerant hatred" here which,
he said, brought fascism to Europe.
Only two interruptions in Dies har-
angue came from his two closest politi-
cal allies-Rep John Rankin (D.-NIiss.)
and Rep. Hamilton Fish (R.-N. y.
Fish asked for another half hour for
Dies to talk, although this was denied

visions Of the Wagner bill should
strengthen this relationship, since the
financial barrier will be removed The
guarantee Of payment for their services
should give physicians an incentive to
do better work. The quality of their
services should also be improved because
they will be able to use x-ray and
laboratory services freely and to con-

required
The plan under this bill will make
doctors free to practice medicine as
scientifically as they know how. no

not pay for expensive extra services
Most physicians will have an economic
security they have never had before

URWE, MONTGOMERY
WARD HEAD FOR
OPEN SHOP BATTLE

CHICAGO-FP)-This city is looking
for the first head-on collision Of union
ism and open shoppery during the war
period if United Retail Wholesale & De-
partment Store Employees (CIO) reaches
the end of its hopes of forcing Mont
gomery-Ward to abide by the Wagner
act.
International President Samuel VOL
chok and Vice President Leonard Levy
have been trying to get the National
War Labor Board to Enforce its directive
ordering the huge mail order house to
extend its contract pending negotiations
of new contract.
Before the NLRB the union executives
are trying to get certification of the
Ward local, representing 1000 workers
Neither the WLB nor the NLRB has
acted.
In the meantime Ward has fired union
shop stewards, denoted and reclassified
hundreds Of active unionists. has refused
to listen to grievances, to check off
dues or to comply with WLB directives
Dozens of other UwRE locals in Ward
stores and warehouses throughout the
country are meeting similar stone-wall
opposition from the company, which is
headed by Sewell Avery, described by
Ward local officers as 'Chicago's No. l
fascist"
Ward agreed to recognize the union a
year ago only when President Roosevelt
had used his powers as commander-in-
chief. When the contract expired in
December the firm refused to negotiate
a new contract, claiming that the union
did not represent a majority of its en-
ployes.
According to Levy, midwest director
for the union, the Ward tactic is to
force the union into an election each
year to take advantage Of the delays OF
labor board action and to wear out the
union.
We hope the WLB and the NLRB
will have nerve enough to stand up to
Sewel Avery and force him to abide by
the law of the land Levy said If
that does not happen, the union viii
have to take steps to preserve its in
tegrity"
