STOP TB

Tuberculosis, which causes the deaths of more people betweeen 15 and A than any other disease,
Seward seaport record., 1948-12-21

II d Lely,
 tuberculosis has no symptoms in it's early stage, when it is easiest to cure. But, fortunately, 1t can be detected early by means of a chest X-ray.
 The 5000 associations affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Association, which are engaged in a year-roand campaign against tuberculosis, urge every adult to have a chest X-ray at least once a year. If this were done, the estimated 250,000 cases of tuber- culosis unknown to health author ities could be found. When all cases are found and treatment provided for the individuals, the danger of the spread of this dis ease will be prevented.

The C.ad& Roeee.

One reads of the full and busy life of our great -grandmothers who worked from dawn until after dark keeping their families fed, clothed and healthy. Their work carried on in calm, orderly routine, always firm in their decisions and dis cipline, always right!
 From what I can gather from history and from my own great grandmother who died at the ripe age of 98 when was ten years old, they were too concerned with the morals and religious training of their offspring to pay much atten- .tion to the. happiness of their chil dren-taking it for granted.
 But be that as it may; I seem to read into all such nostalgia stories an implied reproach to the present generation for our failings and our modern lack of prescience. | As 1 mingle with our small town { groups l resent that implied re- i proach. Surely there never was a i busier, more active generation than the one represented by the | teachers, mothers and housewives , of our day. It's true that we have more gadgetS and mechanical con 1 trivanceS with which to make our houseWork easy. It's also true that I most of us are not the near fanatic | slaves to our houses that our for bears were But, Gals. we do get around, Every woman rushing like mad this last week before Christ mas. doing the work of three, and still making parties, plus rehear- sals, plus last minute shopping, and sewing or knitting.
 How much easier it would be if all our Christmas gifts were fin ished and wrapped by December l. Greeting cards ready for mailing, etc. But where's the fun in such forehandedness?
 An, no. The last breathleSs week when there is no time to sleep, when one must tear from one thing to another, finish the paint ing. hang fresh curtains, entertain this bunch and that make another fruit cake because the first one is already gone, make cookies and candy, get another card because I received one from So-and-So, pre- pare and attend church and school programs, lodge and social parties "a thousand and one errands and jobs to be done. Time growing short minute by breathless minute. All this makes the eliminating week for which we live a whole year.
 By next week we will all be promising ourselves, Never again. Next year I will have everything ready early" But we won't! Why? Because we love it this way. An! We women. We American women! I love us!
 But, Ladies, altho we pride our selves on our ability to get it all done, not to neglect a single duty, there was one job that a great number of people in Seward for got this week.
 On Monday there was an cleo tion. We were to decide whether or not we were to tax ourselves with the obligation to pay off bond with which to enlarge our school building We forgot!
 According to the record only l39 persons out of all the taxpayers in town, personal and real taxpayers, appeared at the polls to have their say on this important question.
 We either forgot it, misunder stood our rights, or neglected to vote. The decision was made. The
