courage Absenteeism
Daily double betting will be elm
mated during the summer race
meeting which opens at Delaware
Park, Stanton, on May 20, the Del
aware Steeplechase and Race Asso-
citation announced Monday. Offic-
ials said that one of the three
principal reasons was to discourage
absenteeism from war plants which
might be provoked by persons 60
ing to the track in time for the
daily double" The Delaware Rae
ing Commission in permitting the
of the daily double,
stated, however, that it reserves
the right to require the association
to reinstate the daily double pool
"in the event that the interest of
the public and the state revenue
makes it advisable"

YOUTH AIDED
BY T.B. SURVEY
State Health Board Finds X
Ray Test of School Chill
dren Valuable
X-RAY FINDS L. b. EARLY

The fact that 266 young people
in Delaware between the ages of
20 and 29 years of age have died
from tuberculosis within the last
10 years, another 259 persons in
the 80 to 80 age group, and 215
more dying between the ages of 40
and 49 years during this same
period from 1884 to 1943, shows
the importance of the high school
X-ray survey now being carried on
by the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis
Society in an effort to find the
cases of tuberculosis before they do
become serious, says DR.. Edwin
Cameron, executive secretary of
the State Board of Health.
X-ray Finds TB Early
The X-ray finds tuberculosis
early, long before the disease can
be discovered by the older means
of diagnosis, he states. Persons
who look the picture of perfect
health may have TB in the first
stage. Early diagnosis not only
makes it possible for the person
having the disease to receive early
treatment which may save his life,
but, with proper care, it prevents
the "open" or contagious case of
tuberculosis from putting into cir
culation the TB germs which will
infect others. tuberculosis that
was undiscovered and untreated in
the teen-age group in the past is
in part responsible for the high
mortality figures of TAO deaths
among men and women in the mid
die years of 20 to so during the
past decade in the state, according
to DR.. Cameron. Discoveries of
cases among pupils in secondary
schools and colleges now should
help to reduce these deaths in the
future.
X-ray of Grades 10, IL and IL
Realizing the importance of
greater knowledge about tubercu-
losis among staff members, the
State Board of Health held an all
day Institute on the subject this
spring. Thus staff nurses were
better prepared to answer the
many questions arising now while
x-rays of some 1000 pupils in the
10th, 11th, and 18th grades of Del
aware schools are being taken, as
we'll as examinations of teachers,
food handlers and employees in
these schools. Where bed rest is
advised by the doctor, the nurse
will give bedside care for the pur-
pose of teaching some member of
the family how to look after the
patient. She will also show them
how to isolate the patient and his
possessions from the remainder of
the household and the sanitary
procedures necessary so that
others are not so apt to contract
this dangerous disease.
DIR. Phillips to Read Films
DR.. l.. D. Phillips and DR.. A. M.
Dietrich of the State Board of
Health's Brandywine tuberculosis
Sanatorium will interpret the films
of the students made by the tech
nicians of the X-ray Unit provided
through the generosity of the Del
aware Anti-Tuberculosis Society.
Any suspicious findings will be re-
ferred by these specialists to the
students own family physician. 1t
is estimated that IL million X-ray
pictures have been taken at induc-
tion stations since the war began.
The fact that the government x
rays men and women before they
are accepted for service in the
armed forces shows that Uncle
Sam, too, thinks that early exam

RUSSIAN REHABILITATION

An Idea of the mmenSlty Ot the re- mobilization program, required when an enemy over-run territory is reoccupied, is given in current story on Russia in Foreign Commerce Weekly" by E. C. Ropes, Russian expert in the Department of Commerce The Russian rehabilita- ton program embraces 272,15O square miles and already has resulted in the re- turn to those areas of more than 20O,
 900 cattle, 360,0O0 sheep and goats and 54,000 horses. The Soviet government purchased and sold to collective farm CTS large numbers of livestock; delivered more than a half million head of poul- try; gave special exemptions from de livery of agricultural products to farm CTS in the re-occupied districts; and car ried through an extensive program of restoration of ruined machine-tractor stations as we'll as other establishments essential to restoration of agricultural production More than 580,000 houses were built in towns and villages. This Russian achievement in rehabilitation is significant in consideration given by the United and Associated Nations to the re- lief and rehabilitation program of UNRRA.-(B Business Action Weekly).

WOULD EASE WAGE VIOLATION PENALTIES:

Amendment of the Economic Stablll- zation Act to prevent continued imposi- tion of harsh and arbitrary penalties for violations of wage regulations is favored in a memorandum filed with the House Banking Committee by the National Chamber The subject has been studied carefully by the Chambers Federal Fi- nance and Manufacture Department Committees.
 The proposed amendment would pro- vide that no penalties of any kind shall be imposed against any employer for any wage or salary payments made prior to the effective date of the law and in contravention of the Economic Stabili- zation Act unless it is shown that said wage and salary adjustments were made in Wilful contravention of said Act or the regulations issued hereunder"
 It is asserted in the memorandum that the vast majority of employers have acted in good faith and have tried hon. estly and sincerely to understand and follow the Stabilization Act and the orders and regulations issued thereun- der, despite their number and complex ity, and despite differences in rules and varying interpretations by the War La bor Board and Treasury Department, between which jurisdiction over wage and salary changes is divided.
The Nome nugget., 1944-06-23

The memorandum also approves an amendment proposed by the House Spe- cal Committee to Investigate Executive Agencies, which would prohibit the President in his regulations from pre- scribing any penalty in excess of the excessive wages or salary payments. In the opinion of the House Committee, Congress never contemplates the imposi ton of penalties so severe as have been visited upon individuals by executive authority.
 There is no intention under the pro posed amendments to prevent the im- position of proper penalties for wilful violations of wage and salary regula- fions.-( Business Action Weekly.
