THE ROAD
TOHEALTH
By II. E. Lee, M. D.,

A few nights ago | was glanc-
ing through a magazine and stop
ped short when | came to an ar
ticle on "teen-age health" The
article said more and more high
school students were becoming
"heolth conscious" and went on
to tell stores of how thousands Of
"teen-agers" throughout the coun-
try were helpful and active in
community projects.
That reminded me of the story
of Ruth Briggs, which has a hap
Ply ending simply because a group
of high school seniors took their
responsibilities seriously.
Ruth and her friends lives in
a nearby town. Their community
at that time was stricken by out
breaks of various diseases. The
towns doctors were kept busy day
and night.
A group of public spirited -mer
and women got together anC
started a campaign about health
and prevention of illness. Com
munity clubs invited nurses tt
give talks at their meetings OF
good health habits. The town.
doctors took turns in giving
half-hour each week to talk tt
the teachers and tons people il
the ~community's high school au
ditorium on fighting disease. An
the schools had regular health an
hygiene classes started.
One of the doctors spoke o.
community participation in fight
ing tuberculosis. That evening, h
had scarcely finished dinner whe
he heard the doorbell and &C
mitter four shy but very earnes
young people. The two boys an
two girls told him they were SCI
iors at the high school where /
had spoken and that they wante
to talk over something with hir
cts our friend, Ruth Brigg
doctor, that we want to tell yo
about" the taller boy began. T
added that Ruth's parents we.

who was away just then. They
yer sorry to trouble the doctor,
but they had to confide in some
one. The doctor invited them to
sit down and listened attentively
while they told their story.
Ruth had always been good fun,
the boy went on, and the best
dancer in the crowd. But during
this school term she seemed to
change. She hadn't gone to a sim
gle dance or school game, just
sat home all the time she wasn't
in school. Everybody could see
Ruth kept losing weight, and los
ing her pep, too. That wasn't like
Ruth at all, and her four friends
decided she had some kind of
sickness, something that didn't
show"
All this troubled and puzzled the
| four seniors up to the afternoon
| of the doctors talk. Ruth had not
been in school that day. Her
friends discussed the situation af-
ter school. Ruth probably didn't
have tuberculosis, but then the
doctor had said no one could take
a chance. They decided to visit
the doctor and ask his advice.
The doctor helped the young
people work out a plan to con-
vince Ruth that she should visit
him soon for a check-up. The girl
came in a few days later. After
a complete physical examination,
including a chest X-Ray and other
tests, a diagnosis of early tuber-
culosis was made b ythe doctor.
Ruth proved to be an intelligent
sensible girl who agreed to go te
a sanatorium for treatment. After
many months of good %sanitoriun
care and treatment, Ruth is nov
, back with her friends. She ha'

an active part in the campaign
to elect Henry A. Wallace.
Announcement of his resigna-

for O'Connor's work with the
union, and expressions of regret
from its officers for his resigna-

said in part:
Because 1 believe the issue of

Police Wurned to
stop political raids

Chicago Police Commissioners
John Prendergast was compelled
to promise this week that his
police would not be used against
the Wallace third party.
This pledge was extracted by
a delegation of Progressive Party
leaders who demanded a probe
of the police raid last Wednes-
day evening on a private apart
ment where Is young people had
gathered to talk about the Wal
lace Party.
Spokesman for the group Hy
Ritman, PPI candidate for mu-
nicipal judge, demanded that the
Police Commissioner call to ac-
count the police who raided the
home of Leroy Burwen without
a warrant.
IT WAS LEARNED that the
police had moved in on a COM
plant of the janitor who saw
Negro and white young people
going into the apartment. When
the police arrived, they were lis
tening to the radio broadcast of
