Life Sentence

Not so long ago, when the doctor
said, ITS tuberculosis" he was in
effect pronouncing a sentence of
death. Today, because of great adj
vances in chemotherapy and sur
gerry, recovery from tuberculosis is
becoming more and more the rule.
But the words, "It's TB," are still
shock.
1t is not easy for anyone to face
the fact that he has a serious, chronic
disease. that he will likely have to
endure the strangeness and tedium
of a long hospital stay, separated
from his family and friends. Yet the
best medical results depend on his
facing the facts, on his full under
standing that the TB hospital is
place of opportunity, not just a pris-
on where he will be isolated for the
protection of others.
The patient who refuses to go to
the hospital when advised to do SO
or who leaves against medical adj
vice is likely to lose his battle with
tuberculosis. Death or a real life
sentence of dependent invalidism
may be the result. The restless, I'M
happy patient has the poorest chance
for a quick recovery. In the TB hos
pital there is definitely "timc off for
good behavior"
The family is Of primary import
ance in the patients fight back to
health. By confident acceptance Of
the fact that he must stay in the
hospital until the cure is complete,
the family can help him see it

regret very much that / was UNI
able to take in the opening of the
Pony League on Saturday evening,
but unfortunately l had to be out
of town.
In my column last week l stated
that the Braves needed strengthen
ing in spots and that had no doubt
that owner Gene Raney would see
to it that help was forthcoming,
either through his working agree
ment with the Milwaukee Braves, or
in the open market.
That prediction is already coming
true, as the Braves have already
signed Hull, a catcher, who played
for Richmond last year, and Severn,
an outfielder, who is being sent in
on option from Lincoln, Neb.
1t must also be remembered that
Concannon, a shortstop, and Laguna,
a catcher, both of whom were with
Hagerstown last year, are to report
to Manager Dorman next month after
they graduate from college and there
is question where Buck Riddle, our
1852 first baseman, will go after he
graduates.
have seen several of the teams in
action now and firmly believe that
when the Hagerstown Club gets real
ly set, they still are going to be the
team to beat, although don't believe
that any team is going to make
runaway race of it this year.
Under minor league rules, the
Braves will have to cut down to II
players, effective as of midnight to-
night.
Since the team is on the road and
I have been unable to contact Dutch
Dorman, will just have to hazard a
guess as to who will be on the team
after the deadline passes. So here
it is:
Pitchers - Miller, Slack, Larson,
Lenthe, Palcek, Wilson and Higham.
Catchers - Hersom and Hull.
Infelders - Davis, Zinn Damiano
and Jordon.
Outfielders - Barrett, Loos, Sew
ern and Morelli.
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that as this is written, Tuesday after
noon, both HerSom and linn have
been out of action due to injuries
and should they have to be placed
on the ineligible list (Which must be
for period of at least ten days.,
then two other players can be car
ried until they are reinStated on the
active list.
Now all have to do is wait until
the official announcement is made
tomorrow and see how good my
guess is.
Rocky Marciano and Joe Palooka
are still the champs!
The ree-dlmenSional movies of
the Marciano-Walcott fight seem to
have definitely convinced everyone
who saw them that Walcott was le-
gally counted out, and after view
ing the pictures, the Illinois Boxing
Commission officially put the stamp
of approval on the fight and the
knockout.
At the end of the Joe Palooka-Dig-
ger fight" out in Australia, the
referee (the sole "judge") collapsed
and was taken to the hospital.
am now happy to be able to report
that he has regained consciousness

Corn Storage Now
For Better Price

Corn storage has everything in
its favor, believes Geo. K. Vapaa,
Associate County Agent. Especial
ly now when farmers are looking
for few good breaks, having a
suitable place to store corn can
mean more income.
The farmer with storage space
can hold his corn after harvest un-
til prices go up, explains the agent.
and he can get the current min
imum support price rate of STA
per bushel in Delaware. Also in
the farmers favor is a new law
which allows him income tax credit
for building corn storage.
There's still time to provide tenn
porary corn storage space, Vapaa
points out. Many buildings not in
use, such as chicken or hog houses,
are adequate for a few months, but
some arrangement should be made
to keep corn from packing too
close.

Help For Farmer In
COst-Price Squeeze

10RN - @NNS O1eNN
There's a ray of hope for farm
ers caught in the cost-price
squeeze.
Agricultural economists at the
University of Delaware have some
tips that may ease the plight of
the farm operator who finds lower
prices for his products while his
operating costs remain high.
Look for places to cut cash
costs-but don't overdo it" ad-
vises w. T. McAllister and William
e. McDaniels. "In the next few
years good farm profits will de-
pend a great deal more on good
farm management"
The economists point out that
while hired labor costs four times
as much as in pre- World War II
days, machinery has just doubled
in price. However, while labor
saving bachinery is a good invest
ment for some, for other farmers,
hiring machinery may be more
practical if it is used only a few
days each year.
This isn't the time to cut down
on fertilizer sprays, and dusts, eau
tion the economists. 1t will still
pay in the long run to spend what
is needed for these items, as well
as some farm machinery, good seed
and proven varieties.
Get rid of non-paying livestock
now. When prices are falling, low
producing cows and lazy hens may
not earn their keep. Farmers also
must plan and manage their crops
more carefully. Dairymen can
provide their cows good home
grown hay and pasture at much
lower cost than when buying it.
Other ways to beat the price-cost
situation? Pay off debts or COM
bine several short time debts into
one longer time farm mortgage at
lower interest rates. Keep insur-
ance paid up on buildings. Keep a
more complete record of income
and expenses.
