Lonely Fight for Recovery

state and the Federal government
are partners in a program to pre-
pare you for and place you in the
right job when you are we'll
again. This could mean helping
you return safely to your old
job or to some new kind of work.
These are not charity services.
They are your right, just as
public school education is your
child's right.
Your doctor will tell you when
you are physically able to start
training. He or the public health
nurse or social worker can help
you get in touch with the proper
agency, in most states called the
Division of Vocational Rehabili-
tation. You may be able to start
on correspondence course right
away. Later there may be special
school or on-the-job training. You
can be sure of getting all neces-
sary help in starting back to
work. There is no cost to you for
most of these services.
But 1 am not this man, you
insist. Let's hope you won't be
one of the 10000 Americans
who will be stricken with TB
this year. But chances are you
will know one of them. You
can help and encourage him to
take full advantage of his crest

Health for All

When Carol, Edna, and Hazel
were invading the East Coast
last fall, scientists were able to
plot their probable behavior and
warn the public to take precau-
tons against the hurricanes.
With equal care, scients have
been watching the advance of
another threat to our safety:
Type A influenza.
Beginning with an outbreak
i'm Australia last summer, Type
A has followed a pattern which
could bring it to the United
States this winter. 1t may not
appear at all, but doctors are ON
the alert.
We need not fear a disastrous
epidemic such as struck this
country in 1918. Many of the
deaths then were the result of
pneumonia and meningitis that
developed following the "flu."
New antibiotics and other drugs
will cut down these secondary in
fections. Prompt treatment and
careful nursing through conva-
lescence will also help prevent
complications.
If influenza does strike in your
community, avoid crowds. The
"f1u" virus is spread by direct
contact, but it can be carried and
passed on by people who are not
sick themselves. Watch for symp-
toms. If any member of the fam
lily complains of sore throat,
cough, headache, fever, or nau-
sea, put him to bed at once. In
fluenza moves fast to the acute
stage when there may be severe
pains in the back, chest and
limbs, and exhaustion to the
point of prostration.
Follow the doctors instruc-
lions carefully. There is no spe-
cific cure for influenza, but the
discomfort can be relieved and
dangerous complications prevent
ed. Lots of rest and a gradual
return to normal activity are of
the utmost Importance in coming
safely through influenza.

1855 Gets Off
To Fast Start
In Building

An unprecedented burst of
strength in construction activity
in the weeks ahead became vir-
tually certain yesterday when F.
w. Dodge Corporation, construc-
ton news and marketing Spe-
cialists, publicly stated its De-
cember totals of Dodge reports
of contract awards for future
construction in the 81 States east
of the Rockies.
A tremendously high Deem
Der total brought 1854 awards to
a record-breaking high of $19,-
770,207, 900, up 10 percent from
the previous record set in 1858.
December awards ran Al per-
cent ahead of December 1858.
The total of $1,828,837000 was
not only far higher than any pre-
vious December in Dodge's a.
year history, but was one of the
highest monthly totals ever re-
corded in spite of the fact that
winter is additionally slack
period for contract awards.
The Dodge totals for known
future construction inevitably
foretell the rates of activity of
the country's second biggest in
duStry over the weeks ahead.
And for months ahead in some
categories of heavy construction.
'"The high December total will
be hailed as the first solid assur-
ance to confirm the optimistic
views that have been expressed
as to business in 1855" comment
ed Thomas S. Holden, Dodge
vice chairman. " 1t gives the
American business community
much the same kind of lift that
came when we discovered our
totals for January 1854 seemed
to forecast big year.
"The big news is the Deem
Der total. The fact that the year
showed a stable gain over 1858
was known a month ago when
we found that the all-time high
record for any year had already
been set by the 11-month figure"
All three basic Dodge cate
tgories showed gains over the
previous month and over Deem
Der 1858. The residential CLASH
fication was the headliner both
for the month and for the year.
For December the totals were:
non-residential, $701, $4,000, up
43 percent over November and
80 percent over December 1858;
residential, $761, SIT 900, up Z per
cent over November and up 76
percent over December; public
works and utilities, 1856, $4,000,

A Ticking Package Doesn't
Help the Peace of Mind
By Harry Macarthur

Press agentry being what it is,
newspaper folk are accustomed
to receiving strange packages
designed to call attention to
something or other they'd rather
not notice. The columnist who
is startled to find himself the
recipient of q baby alligator. q
deed to an acre of Greenland
ice. or almost anything, just
hasn't been in the trade long.
Always someone is coming
along with the gimmick which
seems to be the pinnacle of
achievement in this line, which
nobody will top. Then somebody
else tops it. Today it is WTOP-
TV. The people out in the pub
lie relations department there
obviously are out to separate
the men from the boys.
The separator was here on
the desk right after lunch yes
terday. 1t was a neatly wrapped
square parcel. addressed to the
TV-radio editor. labelled firmly
'Do Not Open Until Tuesday =
There seemed no reason not to
go along with a gag, so the
package was tossed aside to
await the proper day.
Then a nagging thought took
hold. Critics are a sensitive lot,
well aware that they do not all
ways go around making friends.
The thought, voiced aloud, was
simply this:
Hey, maybe this is a bomb!"
''You may think you speak
In jest" said the young man on
the other side of the partition,

ing it is setting there on the desk
making a noise like a time bomb.
II WTOP thinks it scared
anybody around here, though. it
can think again. The ticking
package it sent around yesterday
will be opened today. 1t won't
be difficult, either. The oil in
which 1t has been soaking over
night has made the wrapping
pretty soggy by now.
