J.52 0RTANT NOTICE:
TO PRESIDENTS

Dear Presidents:
This article is intended to assist
you in keeping your local records
up to par in order that you will not
be embarrassed at some future date.
For the past fifteen years or more
it has been the policy Of the office
to write YOU shortly after the close
of the Quarterly Board informing
YOU as to the members of your lodge
who failed to pay that particular
quarterly assessment.
We find that some of the Zeal
secretaries fail to put all of the mem
bers names on the report blank,
thereby causing errors to be made.
1t is the duty of the local presi-
dent to have the secretary of the
local lodge to put all of the MEM
bers' names on the report blank as
soon as 1t IS received from the office
and as the members pay, check them
up When the president gets ready
to leave TO rthe Board, if he has
members who failed to pay before
his report blank was mailed, he
should have all of those names on
his supplementary report blank and
make that report the day of the
board. If this is done, it helps the
office wonderfully.
But when nc resident comes to
the office and has to see his report
blank that was mailed in to see who
did not pay, it gives us quite a bit
OF trouble. Presidents, you have
always been cooperative and l do
hope that you viii help us in this
instance.
Please have the secretary 10 ar
range ell of the members 1afres al
phabetcally on your repuu blank.
We have asked for this thloughoi

port blanks IS the Office REQUESTS.

peculiar significance for il is a
screened population from which the
majority, if not all, of tuberculosis
cases were removed, had an average
tuberculosis mortality of less than 4
per 100 900 in 1912 the mortality in
creased to 6 in 1913, 10 in 1914, and
IL in 1915, while the mortality rate
for the civilian unscreened pOpula-
ton, corrected for age, during the
years under consideration remained
at approximately So per 100000"
In 1916 VA began its extensive
chemotherapy program for the
treatment of tuberculosis with the

VA initiated it's Central Tuberculo-
sis Register as part of its far-flung

From IL TB deaths per 100000
World War II veterans IN 1916, the

. Decline in TB Deaths Seen
BY Veterans Administration

A 40 per cent drop in tuberculo-
sis deaths among World War II We
terans from 1913 to 1852, inclusive
was reported by Veterans Admins
tration which also said provisional
data for 1853 indicates a further de-
cline for that year.
Several factors in VAS Tubercu-
losis Control Program brought about
the sharp drop, according to DR.. Leo
v. Schneider, chief of the tubercu-
loSis control
One was the new methods of
treatment for tuberculosis, with VA,
the Army and the Navy introducing
the controlled chemotherapy pro-
gram in 1896
The other was the extensive TB
case-finding survey program begun
in 1913 in all VA hospitals and out
patient clinics
These factors, plus the decline of
tuberculosis deaths in the general
population, are credited with the 40
per cent drop in TB deaths among
World War II veterans DR. Schnei-
der said
This decline is all the more dra-
matte when weighed against the
steady rise in the TB mortality rate
among World War II veterans that
started with the beginning of the
war, DR.. Schneider said He put it
this way;
"Since the beginning of World
War III, there was steady rise in
the mortality rate from tuberculO-
sis in the group of men accepted
for service in the Armed Forces.

ally as Ikebana, will open Fri
day at 1877 H street NV, I'M

B. Hayelock. according to an
announcement yesterday.
Mr.. Havelock, a Czechoslovak

in the Army as a sergeant with
forces in the Far East. He and
Mrs. Havelock were married in

believe this is the first time in
America that Ikebana has been
offered students. It is familiar
to Americans who have been
with the occupation forces in
Japan, and the art aspects will
make it attractive to many"
Glasses will meet one night q
week during periods covering
three months, according to Mrs.
Havelock. Shop customers will
be encouraged to copy work al

Life in the Country
Dry Cow in Winter Cold Proves Blessing;
Management May Be Asserting Itself

A dry COW means q vacation
for me, and I finally have been
successful In arranging my cows
lactation periods SO that my re-
lief from milking comes during
the cold, winter months.
It took considerable planning
to bring this about. Like a corn
crop, or a crop Of calves. it
couldn't be arranged overnight.
My planning was done long
before the new almanacs came
out predicting a cold, hard winter.
So it made me feel doubly, good
last fall when I saw the weather
predictions and could chuckle
over the fact that / wouldn't
have to freeze my fingers squirt
ing milk on frosty mornings.
It isn't usual on The 40 Acres
for anything to work out as
planned. So this Is a new ex-
perience, and, I hope, a forecast
of what Is to come.
1t means, I hope, that I have
finally mastered my destiny, and
that I will, in the future, be able
to direct the course of events,
or at least influence them, on my
country place.
If my usual luck had held this
winter. the weather would have
been balmy when it was coolest.
We would have had a blizzard
or two early in the, fall, and
could expect frigid, below-zero
weather in April and May.
That would have meant, of
course, that my COW vacation
would occur during mild weather
and that when the calf arrived
and had. to be cared for, along
with a fresh COW, the weather
would be acting up in an abb
normal way.
I may be talking too early.
and it is not impossible that I'll
