HEALTH FOR ALL
Public Enemy TB

tuberculosis is an insidious dis
ease that can strike any individual.
Because it can be easily spread
from person to person, it is a pub
lie health menace as we'll. 1t is
among the leading causes of deaths
in this country, taking the lives of
$4,000 Americans each year. Peo-
pie spread tuberculosis germs I'M
knowingly because the disease
gives no visible warning while in
it's early stages. No community's
health is safe while it harbors
single undiscovered case of tuber-
crflosis.
The bad habit that most of us
have of delaying our medical
check-ups until we are very i'll is
especially favorable to the spread
of tuberculosis. 1t cannot be over
emphasized that the onset of tu-
berculosis has no early outward
symptoms. By the time a tubercu-
lous person has the recognized
symptoms-steady loss of weight,
constant fatigue without apparent
reason, chronic cough with spu-
tum-his disease is no longer in an
early stage. This usually means
that for weeks or even months the
person has been showering tuber-
culosis germs while coughing,
sneezing or even just talking and
laughing, thus endangering those
about him.
That is why the nationwide fight
against tuberculosis features the
Importance and value of chest
X-ray examination. Even though
the disease is ordinarily invisible"
when it first strikes, the X-ray can
show tell-tale shadows on the lungs
before tuberculosis becomes adj
vanced. And it is only the X-ray
that can "see" these suspicious
shadows. So one of our best meth
DDS of finding unknown cases of
tuberculosis is by X-raying the
chests of those who appear to be
healthy people.
The person who suspects that he
might have tuberculosis and still
puts off getting his chest X-rayed
is doing himself a great injustice,
as well as endangering his family.
tuberculosis is durable in all
stages, but the earlier it is found,
the more quickly it can be cured.
Complete bed rest under medical
supervision is essential to the cure.
Of course, the doctor cannot
make definite diagnosis of tuber-
culosis on the results of a chest
X-ray alone. But the X-ray will
reveal any suspicious signs OF the
disease and other tests will be
made to make certain whether or
not person has tuberculosis.
In the interests of his own sound
health and that of his family and
associates, every adult should get
periodic chest X-ray. Neglect and
delay are inexcusable these days
when getting it takes minimum
of time and trouble. Your doctor
or your tuberculosis association
can advise you where and how to
get your X-ray examination and
answer any questions you may
have on tuberculosis.

Nehemiah travelled not only with
letters from the king, but assur-
ance in his heart that he was on
the Lords mission. He was given
authority to seek help from other
nations. Just how much help he
received from other nations is not
definitely certified, but we do
know that he achieved the high
purpose which God had put in his
heart. He governed the city wisely
for dozen years. and wrought
many notable reforms. Read the
first seven chapters of Nehemiah
for the complete story. Read also
Psalms 122:1-9.

THOSE WHO OPPOSED
NEHEMIAH


OUR lesson describes not only
~ the courage and wisdom OF
Nehemiah in getting the Jews to
work and work together, but it
tells us about those who opposed
the rebuilding of Jerusalem. San.
ballat was the governor of Samaria.
and when he heard that Nehemiah
was rebuilding Jerusalem, he put
in to defeat him by many schemes
of sabotage.
He began with ridicule. What
do these feeble Jews?" he SCOT
fingly asked. Ridicule is always
one OF the weapons of those who
would tear down and destroy
Young people will do well to guard
themselves against the snare OF
cynicism. 1t is dangerous thing.
Sanballat and his cohorts, Tobiah,
and certain Arabians and Am
monites and Ashdodites, conspired
to hinder Nehemiah in many devil
GUS attacks; but the people worked
and fought, in the name of the
Lord.
WHAT MAKES A REAL LEADER?
THIS is the question which will
L inevitably arise as we study
this lesson. How could one man
inspire people to undertake the i'm.
possible? First. Nehemiah relied
implicitly upon Gods help. Second,
he threw himself into the task,
fearlessly and intelligently. Third,
he possessed the quality Of inspir.
ing faith and hope in others. These
are the qualities that make real
leader, anywhere, any time.
How we do need such leaders to.
day! And the Bible speaks to us.
In the story of Nehemiah, remind.

is the secret Of II all--"They shall
prosper that love thee" Every

can be met and mastered, provided
we tackle 1t in the name of the
Lord, relying upon his wisdom, his
strength, his poise.

WHEN FRIENDS WORK
TOGETHER

Upon arrival in Jerusalem,
~ Nehemiah made a tour of the
city by night. He was shocked and
amazed at the ruins. He called up
on the people to come and help re-
build the walls. And they were i'm
pressed with the earnestness and
sincerity and courage OF his call.
$50 built we the wall; and all the
wall was joined together unto the
half thereof; for the people had a
mind to work." Nehemiah AS.
There is work for everyone who
is of willing mind. There is work
in the home. Boys and girls who
pitch in and share In the everyday
work of the home make glad the
hearts of their parents, and at the
same time they are learning how to
care for their own homes when they
grow up.

Noted Alaskan Bush Pilot QuiiS Arctic ReS(ue Work
 Because of Pain in Neck

NOME, Nov. 29.--IR-A noted Alaskan bush pilot said today that after 15 years he is no longer available for Arctic rescue work be- cause it's given him pain in the neck.
 To Frank Whaley, the pilot, that's no gag. He has quit flying and is going to leave Nome be- cause of a neck injury sustained in the sub-zero rescue last winter of six crewmen from the wrecked Army B-29, the Clobbered Turkey.
 Whaley and William Munz, an- other bush pilot here, brought out the six airmen in their two light planes after the Superior crashed into low hill 90 miles north of here.
 Two other members of the bomb CT crew died as they tried to reach a native village and three medical paratroopers perished during the rescue
 Whaley, a Nome pilot since 1883, will make his home in Seattle.

RUM0R5 OF SUB,
 GULF OF MEXICO,
 DISCOUNTED, NAVY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.--tR- Navy officials today discounted re- ports of an unknown submarine in the Gulf of Mexico. Privately, they were writing the whole thing off as a mirage inspired by enthusiasm.
 The crew of a training plane from Corpus Christi, Tex. Naval air base reported Friday they thought they saw a periscope 20 miles off the U. S. coast.
 An analysis later by base officials said the object, which disappeared in 10 minutes, was more likely snorkel-the snout of a breathing tube used by modern submarines.
 Navy experts here say it could have been q snorkel--or periscope belonging to a Russian submarine, hut they doubt it.
 Spotting a periscope or snorkel from the air, they said, is extremely difficult and is generally possible only at very short distance.

Much Remains 10 Be Done
 Before Waterfront Is Reopered

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-IR-- | CIO longshoremen in the four major Pacific Coast ports, voting over the weekend ratified an em- ployer-approved contract to end 1 the 89-day maritime strike.
 But much still remains to be done before the Pacific Coast wat erfront is reopened.
 San Francisco, Seattle. Portland and Les Angeles area locals of the International Longshoremen's ard warehousemen's union approv- cd the new pact overwhelmingly by standing vote, and there was little doubt that smaller locals would follow suit.
 The contract provides a wage in- crease of Is cents an hour--the last union demand and other benefits. It would run three years.
 Agreement Reached
 With the raise the scale will be S1.e2 an hour The agreement r@- tains the union hiring hall in it's present form. Should it be de- clared illegal under the Taft -Hart- Icy Act new meetings would be held. The settlement also calls for increased vacation benefits. a nine-hour work shift. an a. m. starting time, a designated day off each week and improved griev- ance machinery. The National CIO and the San Francisco Employers Council will underwrite the new pact to avoid violations. Arbitra- tion groups are set up to handle local disputes.
 Actual balloting on the final con- ltract will be taken after the men return to work.
 Three Unions Ont Three unions still have no con- tract--the CIO Marine Cooks, the unaffil.atrd Marine Bremen and the CIO Radio Operators. The long, shcfemen will remain off the job until all reach agreement with the employers
 Omar Hoskins, Federal Concil- iatcr, said considerable pro- gress' already has been made in negotiations with the firemen. Meetings have been continuing with all three unions.
 Another snag is Berry Lunde- berg's position that his AFL Saii- ors' Union of the Pacific will sail no ships until the SUP gets new contract.
 Sailcrs Seek Guarantee
 The SUP it not on strike, but has been idled by the walkout of the other unions. Lundeberg says his men win not go back to work until they are guaranteed that the longshoremen will not en- crcach on what the SUP considers it's cargo working rights on coast wise and Alaska ships.
 Employers said they would dis cuss wages with Lundeberg as soon as other union contracts are sign ed. They said the loading juris- diction angle was something still to be worked out"
