Homes and Institutions

Magnificent new luxury homes have
been built and sold within very short
distances of the National Training
School for Girls. If that institution has
not hurt property values, how can any
fair-minded person claim that beauti-
full, modern, quiet hospital will?
The only thing which depreciates
real estate is business depression; and
am sure nobody can blame hospitals
as the cause Of depressions. Everyone
whom I know feels that hospitals are
valuable assets to a community.

nate within the house and masonry
veneered walls offer no protection

On the other hand, it is obvious that
a masonry house (either type) has
more tax value than frame house.

Renuscent HitIerism?

To the person who signs himself
"1nternationalist." in The Star Janu-
airy "a. would like to say that it is
astounding to know that Naziism, as
expressed in his philosophy of German
nationalism. is rearing its ugly head
again. Things are beginning to look
that way, but it is dreadful that some
of our people really are thinking that
way.
Haven't we recently fought a bloody
war to stamp out this ogre? For a true
American there can be no choice be-
tween Communism and Fascism, which
is identical with your "Germanism. A
rule of the masses by the classes is Just
as obnoxious to our democratic way of
life as is the opposite situation.
A combination military-big business
government coupled with witch hunting
and book-burning is precisely the road
that Hitler took. It is horrifying to
think that his spirit is abroad again

Sick Leuve for Teachers

In reply to the sad person who longs
for the good old days when teachers
could take sick leave and hire a sub
stitute, tried substituting in three
D. c. high schools under those condi-
tions, when the princely salary for a
substitute with some years of high
school and college teaching and a
couple of cum laude degrees was $3.50
a day. In one high school, in order to
collect my $3.50 day, had to go to
the principal to have the regular
teacher compelled to pay up. That
ended my ambition along that line.
I had come from benighted area
which had never heard Of such modern
methods, and where every school of any
size had at least one supernumerary
teacher on the regular payroll for just
such emergencies. and where sick leave
with full pay was the rule. Probably
in the good old days in the D. C. the
teachers were all too honest to use sick
leave for shopping and to pocket the
difference between their own salaries
and that of the substitutes. but 1t must
have been a sore temptation. However,
there was only the one case in which I
had to wait unduly long or 60 to the
school authorities.
But still believe that teachers should
be allowed reasonable sick leave, and
that the payment of qualified Substi-
tutes at adequate salaries should be the
responsibility of the school system
Perhaps under those conditions both
teachers and pupils would have a truer
appreciation Of the substitutes.

Forde testified. that a temperature

their apartments, which, according
to testimony, were not heated one
third of the time.
In defense the landlord presented
his coal bills indicating the amount
of fuel ordered.

The prevalence of polio and the
expected high measles epidemic
combined to push the number Of
reportable diseases in East Cleve-
land in 1852 to 852 compared to
552 for the preceding year, ac-
cording to the annual report filed
by DR.. John P. Winkler, director
of health.
The city's 18 polio cases and
one death in 1852 was under the
record 1949 year when there were
20 cases and one death.
The measles cycle varying from
two to three years, with reducing
leaks in practically every cycle,
last year showed 1856 regular and
90 German type cases. The Health
Department dispensed 1888 &C
immune globuline to physicians for
use in the prevention and modi-
fication of the disease.
Chicken pox took an upwarc
swing to total 204 cases compared
to 130 in 1851. Hone visits by
the nursing staff to these cases,
were discontinued in 1862.
Under the acute communicable
diseases there were 992 admissions
and 1,098 visits including cases,
carriers and contacts. The city's
big turnout in the free chest X-ray
has resulted in the addition to a
number of these cases, hitherto
unknown.
