SAFEGUARD YOUNG
IN TUBERCULOSIS
ny WILLIAM A. o'BRIEN, MD.

BY WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, MD.
Children are never born with tn.
bersulosis. The disease is always
acquired after birth. Reports show
IS per cent of college students

The Is per cent who are positive
reactors have lived or worked with
some one with tuberculosis or have
consumed infected food or drink,
Infections can be detected by the
tuberculin skin test. If positive, it
means tuberculous infection in the
past, with a chest X-ray deciding
the present status. Another way OF
finding tuberculosis is through x.
raw examination of the chest with.
out skin testing. Although the tn.
bercle bacillus can infect part Of
the body, the disease most often
develops in the lungs.
tuberculosis starts slowly. Long
before the usual signs are present
the patient expectorates bacilli.
This is dangerous for other men,

erly common disease. Through
tuberculin testing of cattle, the
elimination of infected animals,
and the pasteurization Of milk, the
cases of bovine infections in man
have greatly decreased. It is diff
cult to find case of this form Of
tuberculosis to show nursing and
medical students so they may rec.
ognize the disease.
Tuberculous infection in children
can be prevented in several ways.
Parents, brothers and sisters,
teachers and others who come into
close contact with children should
consult a physician if they suspect
tuberculosis in themselves. All Of
us can cooperate in the chest x
ray examination surveys being con.
Quoted in various parts Of the coun-
try. Parents can give permission
to have school children tested.
Children should be tested period.
cally, and if they become positive
search should be made In their
family or among their associates
for the source Of infection. When
tuberculosis is discovered, the pa
tient should accept sanatorium care
if available. tuberculosis sanatoria
are better places for the tubercu-
lous than homes, and in addition
members of their immediate fani-
lies are protected against the dis

Some physicians believe that

There is reason to ask whether this or any

Florida and eventually tried to es-
cape to British soil. After thrilling
and dangerous experience on the

There he submitted to arrest by
United States authorities and was

So far as is known, this is the
only city in North Carolina which

memory of distinguished son.
The late Captain Samuel A. Ashe,
talented historian, in his History of
North Carolina, said of Mr.. Davis:
"Among all the great men Who
have adorned the annals of North
Carolina, no one deserves to take
precedence of George Davis, whose
virtues rendered him illustrious.
while his abilities, culture, and pub
lie services gained for him an emf
nence that no other North CAROLYN

for his learning and his talent, be-
loved for his personal excellence
and venerated for his patriotism
and for the exalted sentiments
which animated him in every walk
of life. He particular twas distin-
guished as scholar, an able law

Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-Here are
some questions from GIs about
their job rights:
@. Before I went into the Ma
rines I worked summers for a
building contractor. would like to
get permanent job with the same
outfit. Is there a law which says
the company has to take me back?
A. No. Your JOB with the con-
tractor apparently was only tenn
porary, and because of that you
aren't given unemployment rights.
@. Before the war started I was
employed as an engineer with a
company which specialized in man.
ufacturing gadgets for the home.
AS soon as we couldn't get matte
rails the plant closed and I went
to work for a war plant. A year
later l was drafted. Obviously the
war plant won't need me but I
would like my job back with the
first outfit that employed me. Do
1 have legal unemployment rights
in that company?
A. No. The law says you have
to have left the job to go into the
service in order to have re-employ-
ment rights in that job.
Q. have seen lot in the news
papers about veterans rights to
get jobs. never had job before
as was drafted out of high school,
Now l want to know, do l or don't
L, as a vet, have special rights for
getting a job when l get out?
A. Technically, no. But you can
get special training for job, which
will be paid for by the Govern
ment. The United States Employ
ment Service has a big program
for finding jobs for veterans and
most firms are voluntarily giving
veterans preference for jobs.
@. Before the war I worked for
very small company which made
toys. l was a wood worker. Since
the war they have switched over
to making small parts for autos.
When went back they said they
had no more use for wood workers.
Do l have legal right to my Job
back?
A. Probably not, because the sta
tus OF your employer has changed
so that he is no longer able to use
your service. You can take the case
to court, however.

CORRECTING THE APP
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
The usually accurate Associated
Press has decided error in the
story submitted to the Star-News

Sunday, with reference to the Hon.
George Davis, of Wilmington, at.

In the account of the unwilling yes
terday of marker in Charlotte to
the memory of the great man, the
following statement is carr ed-''He

The recorded fact is that Mr..
Davis lived for 33 years after the
date given in the foregoing extract.
His distinguished career was con.
tinued until he passed away in Will

friends who loved and honored him,

Mr.. Davis stands in the forefront
Of those who brought honor and

tinguished lawyer, his counsel and
guidance were always sought. AS
one whom the state wished to honor
in life, he probably stands alone
in having declined the offer of the
high position of Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina,
which, consideration for the main
tenance of his family forced him
to do. And, last but not least, as a
true gentleman and Christian, his
life was such as to indelibly inn
press itself upon the community
and state in which he lived.
Following Lincoln's assassina-

One sharp point Of difference that stalled

GERMANY is OUR PROBLEM,
by Henry Margenthau, Jr., (Harp-
err; $2).
After 1918, Morgenthau says, it
was the Germans who benefited I'm.
expectedly from penalties intended
to hurt. When she surrendered ma
chimes, she was dropping old tools
to pick up new ones. She gave her
worn battle fleet to Britain, and
built herself a modern one. Pro-
testing that she couldn't pay repair
atoms without loans with which to
start factory wheels spinning, she
got loans, and got the jump on
Europe in production; by enabling
her to sell, her former enemies
were forced into a degree of indus
trial dependence on her.
In sum and substance, Morgen-
thau says in this book that the
Allies this time should not inflict
any 'this hurts me more than it
hurts you' kind of punishment.
He would give the Saar to
France, form an international zone
of the Rhine from the Moselle
down, the Ruhr and north to the
Kiel canal, and clear every Ger
man out of Rhine, Ruhr and Saar.
He would split the rest of Ger
many, minus territory coded in the
east, in two parts. He would not
force democracy on the beaten foe.
He would deprive Germany of all
heavy industry and keep her an
agrarian state until she had really
learned her lesson, which he de-
clares the crushing defeat did not
teach her.
Here are some stray quotations:
''If our policy is designed to
buttress Germany as bulWark
against Russia, it will do more to
breed another world war than any
other single measure we could
adopt. -
IF Germany does not want to

diverted from his task that many papers came
out without special article on the President
from the reporter they had paid good money
to send him after. 1t was cheaper in the long
run and more satisfactory to send two re-
porters.
Later, Mrs. Roosevelt arrived at the White
House. No one has ever been justified in think
ing that she would dodge reporter. When in
Washington she held great conferences for the
women of the press and On the road the Fourth
Estate was never far off. To keep herself
constantly in the public eye she conducted a
newspaper syndicated column and resorted to
the radio when other means failed.
With these two examples of publicity seeking
by First Ladies, it is gratifying beyond meas
urc to find Mrs. Truman keeping faithfully in
the background, even to the extent of holding
a press conference through her secretaries,
Mrs. Bertha Helm, who looks out for her
social obligations and Miss Reathal Odum
whose duties are strictly personal.
The message Mrs. Truman sent the girls ct
the press is not less interesting than the fact
that she used a messenger intead OF deliver
ing it in person. Mrs. Helms said:
''Mrs Truman thinks it inappropriate at
present to have an elaborate social program
and has decided not to launch formal state
receptions and state dinners this season. There
will, however, be series of teas and lunch.
cons, to begin after Dec. l."
Mrs. Helm pointed out that with war losses
this is a sad time for many people, that many
foreign countries are having difficult time
feeding their people and for the White House
to have huge receptions would not be fitting
Two questions which have had the capital
buzzing were thus settled simultaneously. The
first was whether the White House, with that
fresh coat of paint symbolizing the end Of the
war, was going all the waJ back to a peace
time status, with events calling for full evening
dress. The last White House state reception
was held for the Army and Navy on Feb. II,
1941.
The second question was whether Mrs Tru-
man would establish news channel with press
and radio of the capital. Mrs. Helm and Miss
Odum today said they would be available for
information when desired, and a system of
fortnightly question and answer sessions was
planned. Todays conference was held in the
Green Room. Mrs. Roosevelt held her press
conferences in the Monroe Room upstairs, on
the family floor of the White House.
Americans of all political faiths will be de.
lighted to find that the present First Lady
has returned to the long custom of presiding
over the White House with complete decorum
and while not seeking the shadows, does not
hunt the limelight either.

TT WAS ALWAYS THERE
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Worldwide excitement over the
atomic bombs overlooks the fact
that this mighty and mysterious
force has always been with US. It
is the source of all physical power.
Scientists have talked for years
about the potentialities of broken
atom. Not until great emergency
arose was this limitless power un-
leashed. God operates a wonderful
time clock, called His Providences.
AS the resources of the atom, so
are the resources of religion. Eye
hath. not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the eeart
of man the things which God hath
prepared for them that love Him"
Echoing from the explosion of
atomic bombs should come the
lesson of the illimitable resources
of God, which wait only upon man S
use of them.
Every atom since the dawn of
creation has contained the same
force as exploded over Japan. We
have but touched the rim of the
power of prayer, of the possibilities
of communion with the Divine, and
of service to our fellow men.
