TR CONTROL DEPENDS
ON EARl»Y X-RAY . *
EXAMINATION
Tuberculosis is no respecter of
persons. It is not inherited but is
passed from one person to an
other. Most dangerous is the per
son having active tuberculosis
who is in continuous contact with
a healthy person, according to of
ficials of the Territorial Depart
ment of Health, who are conduct
ing the free mass x-ray survey
here beginning September 29.
A tuberculous parent is almost
sure to infect one or more mem
bers of his family. This is the story
of Sgt. Tom Reynolds, now taking
the “rest cure” in a sanatorium in
Washington.
As a sergeant in the U. S. army
air corps, Tom was sent to Ger
many and was shot down over
Nuremburg. He spent the rest of
the war in a German prison camp.
He developed tuberculosis. The
small amount of treatment he re
ceived was ineffective. One does
not get rest, sunshine, proper diet
and fresh air in a German prison
camp.
After V-E day, he was sent to a
veteran’s sanatorium in the States
where he received treatment and
later returned to Alaska. Thinking
he was past the infectious stage,
he visited his family. When it was
discovered that his case was still
active, his family was x-rayed im
mediately. Two children had to be
sent to the sanatorium.
The soldier is improving and

the two children, because their tu- j
berculosis was discovered early j
and the treatment begun prompt-!
ly, will soon be well and strong
again.
This young man was most anx- ■
ious that his story be told in the
hope thatit might help acquaint
the public with the value of x- j
rays. He knows that it is possible;
to look and feel quite healthy and
j still have the disease in its early i
stages.
I The only way tuberculosis can
be discovered in the early stages
is by x-raying apparently healthy |
people. On can look perfectly j
healthy and still have tuberculo
sis.
j For this reason, everyone in the
Nome area should take advantage
of the opportunity of safeguarding
their health by having a free x
ray when the mass survey con
ducted by the Territorial Depart
ment of Health begins here,
i The survey is being conducted
in an attempt to cut the incidence
of tuberculosis in the Territory.
The canvassers have about com
pleted their work and cards will
soon be distributed to everyone
! giving the exact time of appoint
ment. Everyone is urged to keep
i appointments promptly and save
time.
Truman To Face
Difficult Decision
On Return
WASHINGTON, <£>)—President
Truman is due home from Rio
this week to face what may be
one of the most difficult decisions
|
of his administration — whether
there should be a special session
of Congress to provide emergency
aid for Europe.
The chief executive’s top advis
ers appear to be split on the sub
ject.
Secretary of State Marshall, j
now in New York for the United
Nations assembly meeting, is ex- i
pected to return as soon as possi
ble after Mr. Truman arrives on
Saturday to present the state de-'
partment’s case in favor of a spe
cial session call.
Opponents of the state depart
ment’s view have been less out
spoken than Marshall and under
secretary Lovett but word from
administration officials indicates
that two arguments may be ad
vanced:
1. That the European nations
probably can pull through on
their own until the Marshall plan
long-range recovery program can
be put into effect next year and,
2. That it would be potentially
I dangerous move for the President
to make for domestic political rea
sons.

their homes of wood.

The Ohio Senator, plumbing
western sentiment on his possible j
candidacy for the 1948 Republican;
Presidential nomination, rani
head-on into virulent labor oppo

of the Taft-Hartley bill.
He met a formidable threat to
the new law’s operation with an
assertion before the California
State Bar convention that any la
bor leader who fails to sign an af
fidavit that he is not a Commun
ist “is simply cutting off his nose
to spite his face.”
Taft told the bar convention
that the portion of the bill in ques
tion is designed to rid unions of a
“Communist infiltration” which
he called “a real threat to the

"Hungry” teeth in hypoid gears lead
to unnecessary wear—and repair bills.
That’s why RPM Hypoid Lubricant is
compounded to resist the rolling-slid
ing action of hypoid gears, which
often "wipes” off ordinary lubricants.
RPM Hypoid Lubricant resists wear
by keeping a tough lubricant-him on teeth at all tempera
tures. It’s free from abrasives, won’t harm hnely finished
surfaces, and its anti-foaming agent prevents overflow into
housings, leakage onto brake linings. Ask us for booklet.
