Clarificati0n or Term Urged.
John F. Snyder, chairman of
the laws and legislation commit

Association, reported his COM
mittee would recommend indorse-
ment of the amendment with one
exception.
He cited a need for Qualification
or more detailed definition of the
term fireworks" under the pro-
posal to exclude items, which are
commonly kept in homes and
avoid confusion in interpreting
the law.
The definition "any combustible
or explosive composition" could
literally be construed to in
clude gasoline, cleaning fluids,
cartridges and other ammunition,
he contended.
He said the association would
take a position later.

Health Director Asks
Mental Hygiene Clinic
For GaIIinger Hospital

Addition af a mental hygiene
clinic to the new out-patient serv-
ice at Gallinger Hospital has been
proposed to the Commissioners
by Health Director Daniel l.
Seckinger.
DR.. Seckinger said the plan
calls for addition of a clinic one
day a week for child guidance.
The same clinic could serve also
for psychiatric out-patient facil-
ity for all Gallinger patients.
Childen Need Guidance.
It was pointed out there are
many children in the East and
Southeast sections of Washington
who need guidance, but since their
mothers are working or caring for
other children it is difficult for
them to attend clinics in distant
sections of the city.
1t is contemplated that DR.
|Gerhart ]. Gordon, chief medical
officer in psychiatry at Gallinger
would be in charge of the pro-
gram and carry the psychiatric
phase of the adult program.
The Health Departments Bu-
reau OF Mental Hygiene, under
DR.. Leopold E. Wexberg, would
assign a psychiatrist, two phychi-
atric social workers and the neces-
sary staff for the child guidance
activities.
DR.. Seckinger said the project
would involve no additional ex-
pense since existing space, per-
sonnel and equipment would be
used.
Gallinger never has had out
patient service for mental hygiene
patients. The deficiency was
called to the attention of the
Commissioners some time ago in
a report on psychiatric services at
the hospital. DR.. Seckinger noted.
Further Coordination Seen.
1T would be hard to find an
other institution in the country
which does not afford out-patient
services in a general hospital of
the type of Gallinger, particularly
an institution which has ward
for psychiatric patients" accord
ing to the health director.
The plan would provide further
coordination of the psychiatric
service of the hospital with the
activities of the mental hygiene
service of the Health Department,
it was pointed out.

Thanksgiving comes next Thurs
day with a promise of plenty of
turkey for all. Plenty in spite of
great demands on a record crop
by the Armed Forces and by
housewives who have found the
bird more economical than beef.
If any scarcities arise it will be

Chairman of this years Christ

said that funds raised would be

Urged to Buy Seals.
"All of u.s." Mr.. Leahy said
share the obligation to stamp out
tuberculosis" He called on every
one to buy and use the seals on all
holiday mail and packages.
Mr.. Leahy pointed out that
there are still unmet needs here in
the finding and care of persons
with active tuberculosis.
He cited three areas in which
money is needed for enlarged
programs.
More intensive case finding
lis needed among apparently
healthy people to find early tuber-
culosis," Mr.. Leahy said. This
means periodic chest X-rays fol
the adult population"
A second problem that needs
attention is the care of persons
with tuberculosis.
"There are over 1882 cases of
active tuberculosis in the District
yet there are only 1893 beds for
the care of tuberculosis patients, ~
he said.
Rehabilitation Important.
The third area in need of at
tention, he cited, is really part of
the second. Mr.. Leahy points out
that:
Rehabilitation programs, a rec
ognized part of the treatment of
tuberculosis patients, are lacking
entirely in chest clinics. They are
not receiving adequate attention
in the hospitals. They must be
Expanded to give tuberculosis pa
tients the help they need to re-
turn to self-supporting lives"
To point up further the local
need for controlling tuberculosis
Mr.. Leahy added that "one- third
of the District Health Department
budget has to go for case finding
and care of tuberculosis patients. ~

SENTENCE SERMON:

By REV. FRANK CLARENCY LOWRY FOR AMP
l. One can't keep on making excuses and hope to escape the
unhappy circumstances that follow in their wake.
2. Excuses are as Old as man; our foreparents made them be-
cause they overstepped and allowed things to get out Of
hand.
3. From that time until now, mar has used excuses for con-
venience even though he knows the price borders on ex-
travagance.
4. 1t is always cheaper to do a thing right, than to have to
suffer the forebodings that your evil deeds will some day
be brought to light.
5. Good deeds are slow to be praised, but when they do come
to full view, they are as refreshing as the dew, and hats
and hearts are joyfuly raised.
6. Excuses are like bad payment that looks very well from
the start, but with constant weight and wear, breaks
through and falls apart.
T.. But the men and women who can only see God, and His
purposes that ripen fast, stick tenaciousy to their jobs un-
til victory comes at last.
8. Disappointment to them are only the fertile soil that pro-
duces lucious fruits for mans many uses, and they could
not grow them to bless mankind if dependant upon faulty
excuses.
9. Christ could have offered many plausible excuses to evade
the terrible cross, but despite its horror and awful shame
He paid the inhuman cost.
To-. So now what man or woman can afford to hide behind fri
volous and senseless excuses, when Christ for man took
everything including the worst of abuses.
IL. Men and women at all times should never fail to remember
that disobedience demands an awful price, considering the
case of Adam and Eve who were evicted from Paradise.
II. Excuses today are filling the divorce courts and peniten-
tiaries disturbing our world with their sorrow and shame
because men would rather make excuses, than to boldly
proclaim Gods name.

Attention: Department Stores

The following release was taken from dispatches
filed with the news desk of The Daily Express by the AS
ISOLATED Negro Press CAMP.
COLUMBUS, o. (ANP)-The F. and R.
Lazarus company, one of the nations leading depart
ment stores, hired it's first Negro in a clerical capacity
in it's Tooth year history. The new clerk is Ted Lewis,
who has worked for the store for ~ years in the
housekeeping staff and later as stock clerk.
Lewis becomes a salesman in the mems
furnishing department.. His employment as salesman
is looked upon as opening the way for Negro sales
personnel in other large department stores in the city,
none of which have hired a Negro in this capacity.
According to E. J. Coughlin, personnel di-
rector of Lazarus, no outside influence had led to the
appointment. He said that Lewis upgrading was part
of a new program at the store wherein the firm up
grades individuals in it's employ to higher positions
when they become available"

will "get religion and display some true American de
mocracy by following the precedent of the Columbus stor

Rev. George Mcneil Ray and
Businessman j d. McAndrews
today were shocked by the pres
ent campaign of the Key West
Chamber of Commerce to lure
teachers to the southernmost
city by telling them that 10000
sailors here long for feminine
eompanionship.
McAndrews declared that the
present program would attract
.thes wrong element TO the city.
The minister stated:
when our lovely, historical
city becomes cheapi in its lurei for
summer vacationists it no longer
remains lovely. Future historians
will mock its reputation because
it's appeal was made cheap. Moth
ing is Sweeter nor nobler than
when two hearts meet and fall in
love. But to throw out wide pub
licity that smacks of cheapreSs is
the worst blow any vacation spot
can heap upon itself. To invite
women, of any profession, to our
city simply because we seem to
DC ove-run with men certainly
carries with it a. shallow depth.
"To many, who might chance
70 read this likely appeal, it will
turn them away with nauseating
effects. Those who might come to
Key West simply because we
have an abundance of males
might not be too happy once
they arrive.
IF the beauty and quaintncss
and rare loVclincss OF our city
arc not enough to draw people of
all walks of life TO our doors,
then We ought not to throw these
unusual qualities to the four
winds by using any other means.
Key West has made d name for
itself and a rare place among the
stars. We must not forget the war
conditions which existed here a
few years back.
1T could be that VIC arc inviting
these conditions back homo. In
tclliecnt, publicity always pays
the best dividends. Any other lure
might leave Us empty handed
