AN AMERICAN
iTRAVESTY-A A
GREASY PALM
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY
APP Newsfeatures Writer

eAh@t - ~ 49,
A legislator of one Of the mid
western states recently intro
duced a bill to outlaw tipping
throughout his state. No one
would be foolish enough to proph-
esy success for the bill, but it
may serve to focus some atten-
tion on an out-of-date and thor
oughly unsatisfactory practice,
At best its a borrowed insti-
titution, completely outside the
American tradition. It's implica-
ton is a lordly gratuity to ones
servitors. I believe the word itself
came from the words ITO insure
prompt service" on coin boxes
in English inns many, many gen
erations ago.
AS practiced in the United
States today, tipping is an infur-
iating custom. In the first place,
it has long since ceased to func-
ton as a bonus for good service.
It is merely a mandatory and
customer-figured addition to res
taurant bills, taxi fares and the
price of a haircut or manicure.
No matter how poor the service
custom and usage requires that
a tip be presented. Particularly
over and above the minimum tip.
Impatient, sour-faced walters
seeking to hurry you through a
poorly served meal are guaranteed
their Is percent graft. 1t takes
a strong, strong man or woman
to omit this voluntary gesture. !"
The most frightening taxi ride
I've ever had in my life was the
result of a previous passenger
who had failed to tip the driver.
He was furious, and spent his ire
by hurtling around corners, grind
ing his clutch and muttering dire
imprecations on "ungrateful
idiots" It probably wasn't the
passengers fault, because in
many cities taxi-tipping isn't done.
Tippees, however, rarely take loc-
al customs into consideration.
Mandatory tipping has made
service worse, instead of better.
There's no reason why an extra
IS percent can't be added auto
matically onto a restaurant bill.
This would eliminate, for one
thing, the anguish which poor
mathmaticians 20 through daily
trying to figure out the size Of
a proper tip. Better still would be
figuring the cost of the waiter s
full salary into the price of the
food, the way the cooks is and
scullery boys.

Many Firsts

The Ohio Association helped
establish the first division of
tuberculosis in the Ohio Depart
ment of Health and its executive
secretary served as the first di-
rector of the Division. Since that
time most other states have es-
tablished similar divisions III their
health departments. The Associa-
ton helped bring about a consoli-
dation of the 2,158 small local
health units i'm existence prior to
1919 and reduced those units to
1853 through the passage of the
Hughes-Griswold Act of 1890.
This inmeasurably improved the
public health services of every
local community in oh 10
Throughout the years the Tuber-
culosiS Association and its coun-
ty affiliates have assisted local
health departments in carrying
out their programs by providing
public health nurses. tuberculosis
case registers, X-ray surveys and
other services that were not being
provided through the local health
department. The first course OF
physical education in any school
system i'm the United States was
inaugurated by the Association
and officially incorporated in state
legislation in 1927. The Associa-
tion also took a leading part in
establishing a Division of Tuber-
culosis in the United States Pub
lie Health Service in 1914
In recent years with the de-
velopment of the x-ray survey
program, tuberculosis associations
have devoted themselves to con-
slant search for new cases of the
disease. AS q result the number
of known cases has climbed stead
lily upward until in 1949 it reached
the highest peak in the history of
the state with 11,021 new cases
of the disease being reported OF
this number over half active or
questionably active cases.

for the most widespread and con-
slant program of disease control
by d voluntary group that has
been carried on in a democratic
nation.
From one hospital of $50 beds,
Ohio now has 25 tuberculosis hos
pitfalls with ATS modern beds for
active cases of the disease. The
number of deaths have decreased
from over 1000 per year to just
1,601 in 1850.

City Heads Commend
Man Who Rescued
Children in Fire

The Commissioners today voted
to send a letter of appreciation to
a laborer who saved four small
children from burning home at
729 Tenth street Sc. last week.
Frank B. Dancy, colored, of
POLL Portner place NV, was the
hero of the dramatic rescue of
the children from the blazing,
smoke filled home. The parents
of the children. Mr.. and Mrs.
Theodore Wheeler, were not at
home at the time.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue brought up the possibility of
giving Mr.. Dancy an award as the
city heads held their regular
meeting. He asked If there were
funds available for cash award.
When it was explained there
were no funds for that purpose,
the Commissioners voted to send
Mr.. Dancy letter thanking him
for what he had done.
Meanwhile, readers Of The Star
continued sending in small sums,
usually attached to Christmas
cards, as expressions of apprecia-
tion to Mr.. Dancy. They are be-
ing forwarded to him.
MIR. Dancy said he was surprised
and delighted at the public re-
sponse. He said he was going to
use the money to buy a few
Christmas presents for his wife
and two little boys.
