BEFORE AND AFTER

Last fall pursued diligently by those who felt that the City Manager form of would bring all citizens of democracy The hopes ideals and
 efforts of these have been realized That the side that represents BEFORE.
 Now efforts being made aignments within the city for the first official election of Councmen This extremely important because this Council will have with the selection of the of individual who is brought in manage It could be local individual from Alaska Mississippi And along with their skill city they would naturally bring composite ideas about people,
 That important of who have had to live the influences of leaders both business and the church. who have into the community with pretty dene notions about minores These nd vua have done alright for both business and the church but them had rather peculiar where outside of their cerned.
 This is the AFTER that have to before about the whole idea.
Hartford chronicle., 1947-04-12
THIS AND THAT

We'll, the American Youth for Democracy's goose is cooked if what Mir. Hoover says about 1t being a Com nunist Front organization, is true. And there is no reason why they should not go out of business if they must sur vive on the basls of certain misrepresentations. For per sonally we are of the opinion that any organization that thrives on misrepresentation should be unmasked, unmasked so that people may see them for what they are and then make up their minds about utilization.
 This does not mean that we feel that a democracy has the right to club organizations out of existence. It only means that we want to know where people stand and especially when that stand in anyway touches on the security of the nation. For if we know this then we have an opportunity to fight fairly for what we be- lieve in and completely in the open.
 Personally we abhor people who do not have the courage of their own convictions and therefore have to hide behind all sorts of subterfuge in order
 to convince others. Fascism and Communism are adept at this kind of hooper-dooper. In fact one of the amazing European phenominons has been the rapidity with which Com munist have become Fascists, Communists, dependent upon the expediency of the occa- sion. We certainly do not want any of that in America.
Hartford chronicle., 1947-04-12
by Walter Wendan

On the other hand there IS another side to this whole matter of wedding out the Communist and Fascist. For instance if there are as many Communist in America to-day as some people would have us believe, then there is every reason to assume that through their method of infiltration, there are few respectable or ganizations, church, civic, busi- ness or state, that do not have a few.
 Then what shall we do about this, shall we follow Hitler's technique of develop ing mammoth Gestapo (which in our case would be the F.B.I) and making neigh Dor suspicious of neighbort Shall we develop such a fear psychosis that no man will dare express his honest con viction? Shall we make 1t so that if one Communist Is found in the membership of an or ganization. that the whole group will be abolished and condemned?
 Certainly a all of that is but the path of FEAR. The fear that has made Europe un- happy for years. But the people could not dispel this awful thing because there was mo major idealogy to which they could honestly tie their fear.
 We. thank God, do not have to be afraid here in America. We have got something strong and virile to tie to, if we really want to. Democracy in reality is far superior to any other political idealogy on the face of the earth at the moment.

HEALTH FOR ALL TB FALLACIES

when we set out for that i'm portant first day of school But even before that we hac learned many things at home Our parents coaxed us into eating certain foods .whicf they said, would help us grow big and strong. Thus "healtf education' began informally before we ever set foot in 7 classroom.
 Unfortunately, in many case: health education is not only informal, it is unscientific Folklore is taken for fact. anc pseudo-medical superstitions iare believed and practised with great damage, to indivi dual or community health. The
 more terrifying a disease. the more varied the rumors ant
 half truths that surround it The facts about tuberculosis for example. are often miscon Istrued.
 eeing TB strike in severa, generations of one family some people believe that the disease Is hereditary. Actually tuberculosis Is not inherited but IS transmitted from one person to another. It recurs in families because. in the close associations of family life. a person who has the disease, and doesn't know it subjects his relatives to a con tinuous barrage of TB. germs
 Other people, asked to de scribe tuberculosis, speak oi a hacking cough, a wasting away of flesh, the splitting oi blood, 1istlessness and fatigue What they are actually de scribing is advanced TB. Early tuberculosis has no symptoms People who are not sold on the idea of periodic chest X-rays and physical examinations ma. have tuberculosis for month: before they become aware o 1t. The most effective medica treatment is possible when the disease is diagnosed early.
 Some. thinking that a change of climate is essential i'll the treatment of TB, urge z tuberculosis patient to trave to some distant spot.
