Welcoming Committee
Urged on Capitol Visitors

An added attraction for young
visitors at the Capitol has been
suggested to the House.
Their first view of national
legislative processes and historic
surroundings ought to be accom-
panied by "a few personal words
of enlightment and encourage
ment" from a special welcoming
committee. Representative Hall,
Republican, of New York, urged
yesterday.
Mr.. Hall put in a resolution for
the Speaker to appoint such a
national committee of represen-
tative Americans selected from
veterans groups and other patrio-
tic organizations"
He also introduced bill Of only
academic political interest to
voteless citizens of the District.
It would outlaw the use Of paper
ballots in primary elections
throughout the country and re-
Iquire uniform use of voting ma
chimes.
Another bill dropped in the
House would allow Government
employees in administrative de-
partments to participate, without
loss of pay or annual leave, in
funerals of deceased servicemen
returned from Korea for burial in
the United States. The measure
would apply mainly to veterans
asked to serve in honor guards
or similar capacities at such
funerals.

Little Boy Lost---
No, Mother Lost

r Police officers found little s.
year-old Abel Losado crying on
3rd Street and Washington. He
said he was up town with his
mother and got lost from her. He
could not tell where he lived but
could show them. So he was put
into the patrol car and headed
south.
Once in while he would point
and say "here." The officers
knew that he meant for them to
turn on that street. After wander
ing around they finally ended up
at 10th Street and Hadley and
again Abel said "here," got out of
the car and went into his house.
Neighbors said the child and his
mother had just moved there from
Eloy the day before and was sur
prised that he knew how to come
home. So were the officers.
A few minutes later, the same
officers got a call to 5th Street
and Washington. A lady had lost
her little boy. She was told her
boy had been taken home.
"But where?" she asked. When
told, she said, II do not live there"
So she was taken home to the
boy; she was lost.

GOT A MINUTE! OK.
LET'S x-RAY

That is the slogan which will
be sounded throughout Maricopa
County until next April 21, dur
ing the Maricopa County Free
Chest X-Ray Survey. The drive
opened Feb. 20.
Every adult, Is years of age and
older, can assure the success of
this all-out attack on tuberculosis
by planning to have his chest *
rayed. Eighteen x-ray units will
be operating in all communities
Of the county, in schools and at
places of work to offer free chest
x-rays
This is the biggest health chal-
lenge Arizona has ever met. If
every person has a chest X-ray,
it, will be possible to have a COM
plete picture of the tuberculosis
problem in Maricopa County at
this time and the program can
pave the way for eradicating
tuberculosis as a public health
problem.
tuberculosis kills more persons
in the most productive years of
life than any other disease. How
ever, in recent years tuberculosis
has become increasingly a health
problem among people As years of
age and older. TB respects no
age, income bracket or sex diff
terence = the germs are a po-
tential threat to all.
X-ray is the most effective
method available of finding the
disease in the early stages when
no symptoms are present. 1t is
when tuberculosis is found in the
beginning stages that it is most
easily cured and when the spread
to others can be quickly checked.
tuberculosis spreads from the sick
person to the we'll person.
