they'd rather talk basketball than

Put such an army team in the

Of half a dozen others-and it would
be a cinch to swell the funds in

Should Schools Be Closed
Because Of Scarlet Fever?

Closing of a school in order to
stop the spread of contagion is sell
dom justified in spite of such re-
quests from anxious parents. Take
scarlet fever as an example.
This disease and, in fact, all ord
mary catching diseases, do not
focus in the school alone. They
focus in the community. Unless
stopped by immunization (which is
not generally recommended in
scarlet fever) they will run their
course in a community. This takes
about three months.
AS soon as a school is closed the
disease continues its course from
out-of-scnool contacts. Approx
mately as many school children be-
come infected by exposures in the
community as would occur in the
same time with the school open.
The epidemic wave is almost un-
changed. Any apparent decline can
be attributed to inadequate report
ing as result of inability to catch
up on mild unreported cases in
school absentees.
Experience indicates that after
school has been closed for week
or so, parents demand its reopening
since they have by then realized
how long the epidemic wave will
last, now much education the chill
dren will lose and, among some
how much nuisance the children
will become about the house.
A month ago a request to close q
Montgomery County school was fol.
lowed by meeting of school prin-
cipals, trustees and the Health
Officer. When the events which
would follow closing the schoo
were visualized, it was decided tt
keep the school open.

hClDdH tGdIilS.
1t is Sergeant Goren's belief that
basketball is not only ready for its
place in professional sport, but that
in addition army and navy teams
could turn in a tremendous job for
the war effort in the way of bond
selling and aiding the Red Cross.
agree with Sergeant Goren. For
basketball is the game that has
more combined players and spec
tators than any other sport.
1.-THE best basketball in the coun-
try is played by service teams"
Goren says. "Great Lakes d0mi-
mates the Midwest. Norfolk Naval
Training station and Mitchell Field
stand out along the Atlantic coast.
Greensboro's Army Air forces team
is cleaning up in the SOuth's tobacco
belt. st. Mary's Pre-flight is the
headliner on the Pacific coast.
Basketball interest has grown
tremendously with its spread to
army posts and navy bases. 1t is
altogether likely that the game will
emerge in the postwar period on a
big-league professional scale This
is natural outlet for the great bulk
of basketball talent that flourishes
throughout the service stations :.
a natural outlet, too, for the huge
following that has been drawn to
the game.
Given a Judge Lands to assure
its integrity and keep faith with the
fans, it can hardly miss A high
commissioner must rule the sport.
1t is the first step to professional
success.
II do not know why such interest
cannot now be sustained by playing
an Army-Navy basketball game in
New York's Madison Square Gar
den Or in the Chicago Stadium.
Put it anywhere-even in Soldier
Field-and it would come close to
selling out Sooner or later your
basketball fan can visualize a world
series that will be the court games
counterpart of baseball's October
classic"
