ed in Columbia, Georgia.
First of all, BEG is a proven
tative and not cure. The final
data on the Columbus expert
ment will not be known for three
or four years.
On the basis of evidence al
ready available, it appears that
booster shots would be required
periodically sexcept int areas
where TB is most prevelant. TN
der such conditions, the, body
apparently produces it's own
booster.
r. DIR. O'Brien ASays that BEG
could whip tuberculosis in this
country. In the q years since it
was discovered, thirty million
vaccinations have been REGARDED
with no harmful effect. DR..
George Comstock of the US Pub
lie Health Service says a test on
an indian reservation Is years
ago, reduced the TB rate to one
seventh of what it had been.
DR.. O'Brien adds that compul-
sorry BEG vaccinations in Japan
cut the country's TB death from
214 for 100000 in l943 to l69 in
100000 last year.

Key West Booster
Writes OF Island
City's Beauty

= A. former northerner, who is
now building a home in Key
West and has long been a booster
for the Island City, has written
the following about the city:
"REMINISCENCES OF THE
ISLAND OF KEY WEST
The streets are lined with palm
trees
The pavement old and torn,
One house may be beautiful
The next one old and worn.
The sunsets are so glorious
l never can forget
And the sunrise in the ocean
Always rival the sunset.
There is something in the atmoS-
phere
A fascination rare,
A peaceful restful harmony
You forget all toll and care.
All Illustrations. are forgotten
Inhibitions disappear,
You have gained an understand
ing ,.
Of another world or sphere.
The people are so friendly
Their kind deeds never slack,
It's Hello and How are you?
We're glad to see you back"
When you hear that grand old
music
Bout the island of the blest
There is something treasures you
you
IT'S the Island of Key West.

city votes to be de-controlled, the
federal rent curbs must be lifted.
This provision has resulted in
the de-control of 532 rent control
areas in various parts of the coun-
try during the past year.
Wisconsin de-controlled itself
last August. New York State will
undertake to do its own con-
trolling on May l.
And federal controls are off in
six other states-Alabama, Vir-
ginia. Nebraska, Texas, Utah and
Arizona.
That leaves 40 states wholly or
partly under federal rent con-
trol
The best information seems to
be that if rent controls are al
lowed to die next month, eight
million rented apartment dwell.
ings or one-family homes will be
affected.
AS for. landlords, they have
been granted five million rent
increases since 1912, when rent
controls were first established.
Their chief complaint is that
these increases have mot kept
pace with the rise of other living
costs-nof with the growing ex-
pense of keeping their property
in shape and providing normal
services for tenants.
Another. sore point with the
landlords is the fact that new
homes and apartments land liv-
ing quarters rented for the first
time-do. not come. under rent
control legislation
Advocates of continued rent
control make the claim that a
sudden lifting of controls right
now would result in severe
hardship. possible business
slump and general confusion.
Foes of rent control argue that
removal of the curbs would give
new impetus to the current boom
in residential construction.
1t has been stated a sudden
termination of the federal rent
law would take millions of dol
lars out of tenants pockets, leav-
ing them with that much less to
spend on food, clothes and the
other necessities of life,
And President Truman has
urged that the law be kept on
the books for the duration of the
housing shortage.
II What will Congress do? The
hearings can be expected to con-
tinue for many weeks.
And it's likely that the final
decision won't be made until just
before the June 30th deadline.

The real business of initiation
