Dr.. Henry Boswell
Addresses Rotary

Cites Stote Progress
On tuberculosis

DIR. Henry Boswell, superin-
tendent of the State Sanatorium
at Magee and recognized as one
of the outstanding authorities on
tuberculosis in the nation, was
the principal speaker at the Lex
ington Rotary club Tuesday.
DR.. Gordon Russell was pro-
gram chairman and presented
the speaker.
DIR. Boswell, a native of Ala
bama, is a Mississippian by adop-
ton and he completed in June
forty years of service to the peo-
pie of the state of Mississippi.
Mississippi was losing 1900
people per year on tuberculosis
alone 80 years ago in this state
DR.. Boswell said. Today the re-
cord has changed drastically.
| During the whole year of 1948
there was recorded only 668
deaths from T. B. OF this num-
Der there were 206 white and 462
colored.
The noted speaker said that the
death rate from T. B. among the
Negroes has dropped much fast
er than among the whites among
which heart disease now claims a
higher rate than tuberculosis.
There is now being built at Ma
gee the finest hospitals to be
found any where in the country
for negroes and it will be m use
within a few months, DR.. Boswell
said.
Heurt Disease
Heart disease is preventable, the
speaker continued, most of it be-
ing brought on by individuals af-
fected. The reasons for this, he
said, are we don't take care of
ourselves and most of us worry
ourselves to death. The main Sc
cret here, he said, is to visualize
how well the world would get a.
long without us.
The rules of health which will
help keep a person fit, DR.. Bos-
well said, are: eating regularly
a balanced diet, sleeping, work
ing, playing regularly and having
regular habits. Above all, he
said. don't take life too seriously.
DR.. Boswell's splendid address
was greatly enjoyed by a good
attendance.
w. T. Anthony was a guest of
Joe Berman.

Local Ginners Report
Cotton Production
Down 0ne-Sixth
Only 244 Boles
Ginned Compared To
1850 In 1o48

This years cotton crop will be
about one-sixth that of last year
in the Lexington area according
to predictions of Joe Moore, oper-
ator of Farmers Gin and r. O..
Duke, operator of Lexington Gin
company at Lexington. Only 244
bales have been ginned locally
compared with 1850 this time last
year.
Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Duke base
their predictions on a comparison
of ginning statistics for this year
and last. Mr.. Moore has ginned
1874 bales thus far, as compared
to $50 bales at this time last year.
Mr. Duke has ginned ITO bales as
compared to 800 at this time last
year.
Mr.. Moore's total gin output last
year was $500 bales, and Mr..
Duke ginned well over 1,100 bales
Neither expect to gin more than
$50 bales this Hears and both
blame rainy weather and the boil
weevil for the shortage of this
years crop.
Lexington Hardest Hit
"The area surrounding Lexing-
ton is the hardest hit" said Mr.
Moore. Cotton crops in othel
sections of the South will be
somewhat. below last years crop
according to recent government
surveys, but particularly heavy
damage in this area has held crop.
even below that survey" he stat
ed.

Mr.. Duke, land nobody can make

possible solution, Mr.. Duke ad,
vised other farmers, Get iRd O.

and make a better one next year.

Forced 10 Retire in
Poland After U.N. Role
Special Dispatch 10 The stor

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Dr. Oscar
Lange, the University Of Chicago
economics professor who gave up
his citizenship to join the Com
munist-puppet Polish government,
is reported to have been forced
into virtual retirement in War
saw.
His war time acquaintance
with Prime Minister Stain alone
Is preserving him from anything
worse" is the information reach
ing David Nichol, Chicago Daily
News correspondent in Berlin.
DR.. Lange gave up his teaching
post and his citizenship in Sep
tember. 1945, to become Polish
ambassador to the United States.
A year later he became Polish
delegate to the United Nations.
On November II, 1948, Cryptic
announcement in New York said
that DR.. Lange would return to
Warsaw in December "to take a
yet unannounced post in the gov
ernment."
Visited Moscow With Priest.
The last public notice of his
activities was October II, 1948,
when he was a delegate to the
United Nations Security Council,
and made a talk attacking Ameri-
can policies in Germany.
A year before DR.. Lange gave
up his citizenship, he visited Mos
COW with Springfield, (Mass.)
priest. the Rev. Stanislaus Orle-
manski.
He had a lengthy interview
with Mr.. Stain. He said he was
in Russia only as private citizen.
Returning to America, DR..
Lange said in a Chicago speech:
"Russias' main postwar aim in
foreign policy is peace"
His travelling companion, Father
Orlemanski.' announced that Mr..
Stain had promised that the
U. s. S. R. would not persecute
the Roman Catholic Church.
Followed Red Policies.
At Washington and in United
Nations sessions, DR.. Lange con-
sistently followed Red policies. He
was severely criticized as a Red
stooge" and as an echo of Soviet
Delegate Andrei Gromyko.
DR.. Lange was on the faculty
Of the University of Krakow in
Poland. He came to the United
States in 1884 under a Rockefel-
Ter Foundation grant and studied
at Harvard and the University of

He obtained his American citi-
zenship in 1943, and automatical-
ly lost it when he swore allegiance

ton of ambassador.

ically lose her citizenship when he
did, accompanied him, and now
Is believed to be with him.

American Students
Invade University
OF Oslo This Year

OSLO.-FOr the third success
sive year, some 24O American stu
dents have made their presence
known in the Norwegian capital
with the opening of the University
of OslO's A me ican Summer
School.
Since the arrival of the last SON.
tingent by air, scores of Nor
wegian university students have
registered as guides" for their
colleagues from abroad and none
of the visitors are given a moment
to feel anything but at home. With
an opening assembly the following
day, students took up their books
and lecture schedules and settle1
down to six weeks of study-six
weeks for which credit is given
in most American universities.
Following less than a week IN
Norway it was probably bit early
to voice any overall impressions
though Pat Jacksonia. sociology
student from Stephens College, Co
lumbia, Missouri. was enthusiastic
over Norwegian art, sculpture,
and music When asked what she
thought of auto traffic in the capt.
tai, however, words failed her.
Dick Hjermstad from La Jolla,
California-studyi in Oslo UNI
der the CT Bill-was seeing FOR the
first time the land whic h his
grandfather had so often described
for him.
Among the obse | o n 5,
was one which rang with consid-
cradle auth0rity-that of the stu
dent from Oklahoma who took the
opportunity to visit an Oslo per-
Torrance of the play of the same
name. THE play was fine" he OBJ
served, but thought I'd die when
the cowboys turned up using Eng
lish saddles" One student noted
that few Norwegian girls use
makeup. That's all right" an
other chimed in, "rve found that
when you take out a Norwegian
girl, you pay only for yourself. She
pays for herself"
