DR.. Toyohiko Kagawa, Japan's
world-renowned Christian leader,
is quoted by DIR. Walter Van Kirk,
on his return from flying trip to
Japan, as having said, Japanese
morality and culture had fallen so
low that if Japan had won the
war it would have been a catastro-
phe for the world Dr.. Van Kirk
reports that Kagawa has lost ONE
fourth of his weight, but is well,
and carrying on an intensive sched-
ule of evangelistic meetings. When
the war first broke out, Kagawa
was arrested by the thought DO
lice" and subjected to nine days
and nights of questioning. But he
was released and during the years
has been holding Christian meet
ings, organizing relief, and promot-
ting his welfare institutions and
the cooperative movement. DR.. Van
Kirk reports that Kagawa told
him: 1.-THE people of Japan are sick
and tired after eight years of war.
The American CTS have won the
confidence of the japanese people.
We need your prayers, your Bibles
and your good missionaries"

compensation for their work, and
it even costs them considerable to
feed and clothe themselves, large
number of dependent wives and
children have suffered severely, ac-
cording to an investigation made
by the Commission on World Peace
of the Methodist Church. The Com
mission is asking the Methodist
Church to allocate some of its re-

these families; and it is asking
church members to contribute for
the support of the Methodist men
in these camps. The Commission is
also asking President Truman to
pardon before Christmas all con-
scientious DIRECTORS now in prison;
and it is asking that men be demo-
bilized from the DIRECTORS camps

Care Is Needed
In Cooking Of
Fresh Pork

Hog killing season is approaching.
Shoats that have been carefully
fattened will be converted into
food for the family as soon as the
weather turns cold enough to take
care of the meat properly and safe
ly When the appetizing aroma of
fresh spare ribs, backbone or saul
sage begins to drift from the kitch-
en-, it is well to remember that
there is danger in eating pork and
pork products not thoroughly cook
ed.
The muscles of hogs not infre-
quently harbor small parasites.
The infested animals themselves
apparently suffer no inconvenience
from the presence of these worms
but consumption of their meat, UNI
less cooked enough to kill the pa
rasites, constitutes a definite dam
ger to human health. When insult
ficiently cooked pork is eaten, the
parasites are set free in the diges-
tive tract, where they produce nu-
merous young worms These young
worms imbed themselves in the
muscles of a persons body and
cause painful disease (trichinosis)
not always easily recognized. 1t
may be mistaken for typhoid fever,
muscular rheumatism, pleurisy,
meningitis, so-called intestinal flu,
or appendicitis. Cases of the disease
vary widely in severity, depending
on the number and vigor of the pa
rasites and the body resistance of
the infested individual. Some cases
are so mild that they produce only
an achy feeling.
Whether grown and prepared at
home or bought in a store, all pork
and pork products can be made
safe only by thorough cooking.
Most housewives do this anyway
as a matter of taste, but as a mat
ter of double precaution it is adj
visable to let the meat cook slowly
for little longer than usual. Espe-
cially when fried, the center of a
piece of meat is apt to be under
done when the outside is brown
and crusty.

More TB Beds
Are Needed In
Mississippi

The only way to be sure of never
having or dying of tuberculosis is
never to become infected with the
germ, is the opinion of DR.. C.. C..
Smith, Field tuberculosis Diagnos-
tic Unit, State Board of Health,
who said that to prevent such in
feclon every case of tuberculosis
must be discovered, isolated and
treated For control of the disease,
Mississippi needs a minimum of
1000 beds, according to DR.. Smith,
as well as facilities for X-raying
the chest annually of every person
10 years of age and over.
BY means of mass x-ray exami-
nation more early cases will be
found, many of them before they
become infectious to others and
while the chances of recovery are
good" stated the health official.
Mass X-ray surveys in other
have revealed that among those
above Is years of age from one to
two percent have significant di-
sease. Applied to our estimated
population, this means that there
are from fourteen to twenty eight
thousand cases of tuberculosis in
Mississippi. Through the aid of the
State tuberculosis Association, the
division of tuberculosis control of
the United States Public Health
Service and the county health de-
partments it is hoped that this X
ray service can be offered to most
of the people of the state during
the coming year"
Urging everyone to have a chest
X-ray examination through the
family physician or the local health
department, to help fight tubercu-
losis by telling friends how to be
on guard against the disease and to
aid in the fight by buying Christ
mas Seals, DR.. Smith appealed to
all Mississippians to work toward
eradication of tuberculosis by land
ing all possible effort toward the
provision of sufficient beds and
treatment facilities for the state.

difference between success and fail

men who won the peace for the

holes. from ship decks and from

their country in the throes of wide
spread strikes and they are bitter
about it.
In a survey in which service men
were selected at random in various
public gathering places they ex-
pressed disgust with the situation
in emphatic terms.

The atomic bomb has given rise
to risny prophetic speculations as
to the revolutionary changes that
may occur Ia our home heating.
q plnpoInt OF uranium is supposed
to contain all the heat energy we
viii ever need for a lifetime. The
assumption is that in due time we
small be heating u homes with
atom-splitting bombs, or suns, in.
stead of with furnaces
1t is q stimulating thought and
no objections can be raised against
dreaming about it-but / wouldn't
advise anyone to delay the installa-
ton of a new furnace in the hope
of a speedy perfection of atomic
heating. 1t required the best brains
OF the world, many thousands Of
scientific workers, and over two
billions of dollars to produce the
atomic bomb - and that's just the
start. Now comes the even greater
problem of finding out how to
control the atom-splitting process
for safe, economical domestic use.
So don't throw away your coal
shovel prematurely. Rather, make
it your business to find out what
the leaders in the heating industry
have developed in the way of new
heating efhciencies and conven.
fences. You will not find any ra-
dical departures from the old, but
you will find refnements and i'm
provements such as can save you
fuel, trouble, and annoyance. For
example, one of these leaders tells
me that their new furnace is so
designed as to do away entirely
with the SCOT nuisance and waste.
That, indeed, is more to the pres
ent point than anything imaginary
in the atomic realm.

rezone school districts and thereby
create all-Negro and al1-white
schools. Chicago, with its huge col

South Side ranks with Harlem as

In fact, for many years white stu
dents living in Negro districts OF,

Wendell Phillips and DuSable High
A rezoning Of schools in Harlem
would create overnight the segrega-
ton the South and its sympathizers
want to see in the North.
Talk is potent in keeping alive
such dangerous issues. Actual fight
ing, disturbances and riots are
means whereby the whole matter
can be brought to a head, and those
stirring up anti-Negro strikes in
Gary, Chicago and New York wei.
know it. Such strikes can easily be
instigated i'll Detroit, Cleveland, Los
Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Day
ton, and elsewhere and soon the ne
ton would awake to find the theory
of the South in complete practices
where it had not been given a full
chance before. There seems, Incl
dentally, to be a tendency on the
part of both Negro and white edu-
cational leaders to minimize the rae
ial angle in these student demonstra
tons. In an outgreak now current
around New York's Lower East
Side Metropolitan Vocational High
School, the principal discounts the
racial angle vigorously, as do social
