Chest X-RaYs
Planned For
800 Hornernakers
Health Dept. And Tubercu-
losis Assn. Will Cooperate
With HOmemakers

Montgomery County Homemak-
ers Club Chairman were called to
meet in Rockville last Tuesday, by
their County President, Mrs. C. M.
Upton, to map plans for their two
health projects: chest x-rays for all
members, and an understanding of
cancer symptoms and prevention.
The first of the series of County
wide chest x-ray clinics for the 800
Homemakers will be held in Rock
vile late in the spring and, be-
cause use of the stationary x-ray
machine is more satisfactory than
the portable one, a number of
clubs round about Rockville will
come also to the Rockville center.
Each club is being organized
into committees to assist with
transportation of members to the
clinic, to care for young children
while mothers are being x-rayed,
to assist the public health nurse in
clinic work, to plan schedules of
appointments, and to notify MEM
bers when to appear at clinic.
The official responsibility and
direction of the chest clinic work is
that of the Montgomery County
Health Department, and falls
largely upon the public health
nurses in each club district, as well
as upon. the professional, technical
and clerical staff. Lay workers will
receive instruction in their clinic
service from the nurses.
This fine opportunity for real
community service was Mrs. Tip
tons idea, and has been accepted
by the Homemakers at her sug-
gestion. 1t is an opportunity such
as public health agencies dream
of having at some time. We need
more group leaders with Mrs. Tip
toms vision.
Meeting with the Homemakers
to help plan for their two pro-
jects were: Miss Edythe Turner,
Home Demonstration Agent, Mrs.
Virginia Mclaughlin, r. N, Pub
lie Health Nurse in charge of tu-
berculosis work for the Health
Department; Miss Claudia Gather,
Director of Health Education, for
the Montgomery County Tubercu-
losis Association and Miss Stella
Randolph, Director of Health Edu-
cation for Montgomery Health
Department.
The organization Of the two
health programs and educational
work in preparation for the chest
clinics, will be developed during
the intervening period before the
actual x-ray work begins. Miss
Galiher and Miss Randolph expect
to meet with the various Home
Clubs, by invitation, to discuss with
them tuberculosis and cancer pre-
vention, respectively.

Public'S that point is
Patience reached as a re-
Exhausted suit of the con-
slant and con-
tinuing strikes with the conse-
quent extension of the time for
which we waited so patiently
when all services and goods
would again become available.
1t is high time that both en-
ployers and employees realized
that "The war is over" rather
than carry on the wartime atti-
tude of "Don't you know there's
war on?" It's time for the
public to begin putting some
pressure on in demanding a re-
turn to the type of courtesy and
service to which people are just
ly entitled when spending money.
One of the greatest industries in
America is advertising and one
of the biggest portions of adver-
Using appropriated is spent for
the building of goodwill. But

To An End ming can quickly

lack of proper and courteous at
tention to the customer who,
after all is the public.
One of the greatest deterrents
to return to the days Of real
desire and effort to serve is the
unfortunate attitude of so many
employees that the public is
being favored in whatever kind
of service is rendered. This
attitude is noticeable in
public offices and in public utili-
ties as well as in private enter
prise.
All during the war years and
ever since VI Day the public
has been extremely tolerant and
made necessary sacrifices. During
war years little complaint was
heard. Since last August COM
plants have become louder and
louder. The, bill is paid by the
public and the public has a right
to demand return to value for
the dollar. The

gent, courteous and efficient
service will be found among
those who make the most noise
when they take their place among
the public.
A return to the days when the
customer was always right and
when competition demanded
courtesy and service will be real
lied as soon as we are able to
settle strikes which will, in turn,
make goods available in quanti-
ties sufficient to meet public de-
mand. Then those businesses
and public servants who have
permitted the public be damned"
attitude to carry over to these
postwar months will feel the
sting Of retribution. 1t will be
too late for some Of them to
reeapture public goodwill and
fall by the wayside. The public
will thereby be well served as
these outfits will be replaced by
those willing and anxious to do
an acceptable job for the public.

public means 14O million people.
