Employers Will Be
 Penalized For Failure Distribute WIZ Forms

SEATTLE - District Director of Internal Revenue William E. Frank is asking for the coopera- ton of all employers in the early distribution of withholding tax statements, Form WIZ, to their employees. The forms must be issued by Jan. 31, 1855, and pen alties are provided for employ CTS who fail to issue them on time.
 Director Frank stated that the Form W-2 is a necessary part in the filing of a Federal income tax return by an employee. Taxpay- CTS who have these forms at any early date will be able to file their returns we'll before the dead-ine of April 15. Returns re- sulting in refunds will receive special handling to expedite the refunds.
 The VIZ Form is to be made out in duplicate, showing the wages paid to the employee dur ing 1854 and the amount of in come tax withheld from his wages. Employers are reminded that they must issue Form WIZ to each employee whose income was subject to withholding and also to any employee who would have been subject to withholding if he had only one exemption.

NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

Saturn, which is still one of the visible morning planets, has moved far away from the planet Venus to which it was very close six weeks ago. Saturn is beyond Jupiter in distance from the sun.
 The Babylonians and Greeks believed that Saturn was the out side limit of our solar system. This belief was due to the fact that the planets beyond Saturn are not visible to the eye. The more distant planets were not discovered until the invention of the telescope.
 Saturn appears to be white star moving amongst the constel- lations and naturally without the aid of telescope, the ancients knew nothing about the rings around Saturn. The rings were not discovered until 1855 when fairly good telescope had been made. Even Calico, who invented the telescope in 1610, saw only two spots of light on either side of Saturn.

Seattle Aviation Leaders Pleased at Renewal of NOrthwest's Authority

SEATTLE, R-Seattle aviation leaders said Thursday they are gratified that President Eisen- mower has ordered a seven-year renewal of Northwest Airlines' authority for its route from Seat tie to Tokyo via Anchorage.
 This means Seattle will be continued as a principal air gate way to the Pacific" said J. D. Paul, secretary-manager of the Seattle Traffic Assn. Tt assures us our place on the world air map, with bright prospects for a per manent Seattle-Tokyo route"
 George E. Hatch, western traf- fife manager for Northwest, said the airline'S goal is to operate across the Pacific without sub- sidy by the end of this year.
 Northwest flew about 12,0OO persons across the Great Circle route last year.
 John w. White, Pacific North west director for Pan American predicted an increase in his com pany's Seattle-Hawaii service as result of the order which would cancel Northwest's authority tc fly this route

Health For All
 Life Saving Trio

It started with a headache that wouldn't go away. The pretty ' little six-year-old girl lay in bed for days crying pitifully for relief from something she could not understand. Finally she lapsed into a semi-stupor, recognizing no one, moaning constantly.
 Tuberculosis m ningitis." These are tragic words. Less than 10 years ago when a doctor pro- nounced them, they meant death. There was nothing to be done for this most serious type of TB which affects the covering of the brain.
 Then came drug, strepto- mycin, and in 1947 the survival rate went up to 25 per cent. Soon another drug with an even longer name, para aminosalicylic acid PAS), was added Tn 1949 the survival rate climbed to SO per cent. Then in 1852 came isoniazid. With all three in use, over 90 per cent of the victims of tuberculosis meningitis live.
 The pretty little six-year-old is one of those saved from death. It was touch-and-go for weeks, but the trio of drugs finally pulled her through. She can join her playmates now. She can go back to school.
 In spite of the great progress that has been made, meningitis is still a most serious complication of pulmonary tuberculosis, one which frequently occurs in young children. The disease must be diagnosed early and treated promptly to save life and to pre- vent clipping, blindness, and re- tarded mental capacity which it sometimes leaves in it's wake. The earlier treatment can be started, the better chance the patient has for complete recovery.
 There is no need to be fearful whenever a child has a painful heachache and nausea, but the doctor should be consulted. The symptoms are vague, and could indicate number of childhood diseases. If there is any chance that the child has been exposed to TB, the doctor should be told so that he can make the neces- sary tests immediately.
