GAG STUDENTS GIVEN PATCH T.B. TESTS
in COUNTY; los REACT POSITIVELY

Nine hundred forty-siX Union
county students were given the
patch test for tuberculosis. OF this
number 105 were found to have
positive" reactions, the Union
County Department of Health re-
ports. 8 positive does not neCessar-
lily mean disease, but il does prove
that germs got inside.
These students will be given an
opportunity to have a chest exa-
mination and an X-ray of the chest
if indicated.
tuberculosis in the lung can be
found by taking good x-ray pic
ture long before the person feels
sick. This, with an examination by
a good doctor will tell if a person
has tuberculosis. If it is found ear
ly, one can start treatment and get
well again.
The main thing to remember is
that this test points out the infect
ed person, while the X-ray is abSO-
lutely necessary to find out which
ones have sick lungs.
tuberculosis is usually acquired
in childhood. 1t is not inherited. 1t
is most frequently passed from per-
son to person in families. 1t may
also be spread by milk from tu-
berculosis cattle and by tuberculo-
sis meat.
Early discovery and efficient
care mean early recovery. No case
of tuberculosis springs into spon-
taneouSly-every case comes from
another. tuberculosis can be un-
covered by modern methods and
conquered by modern weapons.

LLOYD RAUSCH
WINS BRONZE STAR

Capt. Lloyd M. Rausch, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Rausch, of w.
Seventh St, has been awarded the
bronze star medal for "meritorious
achievements in performance OF
outstanding service against the en-
emy in France, Belgium, Germany
and Czechoslovakia from June Z
1914 to May 8, 1945.
Capt Rausch is in the field artil-
lery, M-2 team No. Ais, attached
to headquarters of the 2nd Infan-
try Division.
The Captain, now stationed in
Czechoslovakia, has had three diff
ferent tasks since V-Day, all of
similar nature. Through France and
Belgium, he was in charge of in
terrogating prisoners of war. In
Germany, his work dealt primarily
with the civilian population, quest
Joining those bought before him.
Since going into Czechoslovakia,
his work has been sebregating the
good prisoners from the bad
ones, to determine those who could
safely be permitted to return to
their homes, and those who should
be kept under military custody.
Capt. Rausch, who has been in
the Army since 1941, was among
the first troops to land on the
coast of Normandy on D-Day a
year ago and has been in every
major encounter since then. He
was intelligence officer of the End
Infantry Division, outstanding di-
vision of the First Army.

COUNTY SHORT BY
100000 ASLOAN
ENTERSLAST STAGE
Workers, General Public
Urged To Contribute
Toward Meeting The Quota

The final phase of the 7th War
Loan is upon us.
Union county is 100000 short of
her individual quota. The Treasury
issues can be bought up to June
80 and + Bonds will count up to
July 7. c Tax Notes count on the
quota too. Many have asked this
question,
We in this county have met e.
very wartime emergency. This
time we have Jagged little behind.
Because of the pressure of farm
work, the rural sections have not
been canvaSsed as intensively as in
the last few drives. There is still
time.
One can still invest SIS and get
S1OO in return, or can lay S375 on
the line and collect $500. You can
dig deeper into your savings or
checking account and get back
$1,000 for a $3.50 investment. No
money you lay away for the future
is so safely tucked in. You run no
risk of loss. u. S. War Bonds are
the best buy in the world.
You who are on the selling team
call, call and then call again. Get
the job done, don't leave it half
finished.
National Director, Ted Gamble,
in a recent speech made the follow
ing statements: There never was
a war loan ranking with this one
in Importance. We are at point
where the American people ment-
ally are half at war and half at
peace. The discharge Of thousands
of service men is a symptom of
peace. The induction of our 49,
year-OldS is an omen of war. Six
million volunteers have participat-
ed in the current bond drive. Thus
they have been marching side by
side with our fighting men. The
blood banks, the draft and ration
boards, the scrap metal gangs,
and all the others have been en-
gagged in war winning work. All
fall short of the objective if we do
not put over the bond drive. The
eyes of nearly II million in the
services are upon US
Did you know this about E
] Bonds?
| The limitation on holdings is
$4,000, maturity value, for each cal
endar year. However, bonds reg
] istered in Co-ownership form may
) be applied to the holdings of both
owners. Accordingly, two individ-
| ualS may be named Co-owners on
$4,000 maturity value, Series E
bonds each calendar year. In fact
a family of five may own a total of
S25,000 as long as each member of
, the family is named on a separate
$4,000 unit purchase.
, This may simply be compliment
, tary to explain in many instances
but the question has arisen during
I the current drive and County Fin
anCe Chairman Fred Gabriel sug-
gested this explanation.

nance division of the United
States treasury. He refused the
commonly heard claim that people
are selling their war bonds almost
as fast as they buy them.
Since the first bonds were put
on the market back in 194l less
than 13 per cent have been turned
into cash. Of that 13 per cent
many were cashed in because OF
unexpected emergencies; 1t was not
premeditated. Many persons buy
bonds as a planned savings ar
rangement whereby at the end OF
a given period they cash them IN
to pay some debt, some mortage
perhaps or any re-occurrlng debt.
Only per cent of all the Cashlng
in of bonds is for what we might
term non-esSential spending, such
as at Christmas time.

all the staff connected with the
floating of War Bond issues feel
very happy over the manner In
