Both have been essential to the progress so far made, and both will play important roles in what ever progress is made in the iuture. Through the one, our scientific knowledge about the disease, its cause, treatment, and prevention, has been increased. Through the other, vast numbeis of people have been reached with the fruits of research - with practical information on the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis. Most of us are aware how education has helped people understand that tuberculosis is not inherited but is a contagious disease; that tuberculosis is not necessarily fatal hut that it can he cured; that tuberculosis is easiest to cure in ;;n early stage. Less familiar to us, perhaps, is the story of the scientific study which preceded our education on these points. For example, the heredity theory of tuberculosis could not be exploded urdil the real cause ot the dis ease was determined until the tubercle ba cillus was discovered in 1882 and proved to he the cause of tuberculosis. A great deal of important scientific in formation about tuberculosis has been ac cumulated since 1882, hut there is still much to be learned before we can expect to con quer it completely. For example, we do not know how to at tack the tuberculosis germ directly in the human body. Wa do not full> understand the process which leads to the iormation of cavities in the lungs of tubercular pa tients. We do not know how to prevent the germs from becoming resistant to drugs sometimes used in the tuberculosis treat ment. The answers to these and many other puz zling questions are being sought by scientific investigators who are among 22 currently being aided by grants from the National Tuberculosis Association and its 8,000 al'fili ates, including the County Christmas Seal Committee. Funds for research grants are derived from the proceeds from the sale of Christ mas Seals. Thus, all who purchase Christ mas Seals are actually sponsoring research which may prove of inestimable value in the conquest of a deadly disease. At the same time our Christmas dol lars are a „_..g scientific study, they are also supporting the well-planned, year-round program of education, case finding, and re Sur*\\ County Christmas Seal C munitt.-e. From the immediate and long range view points, Christmas Seals are a sound invest ment. Europe: Marshallizr or Cartelize? Christian Science Monitor We shall assume—in the face of a number of suggestions to the contrary—that the State Department's left hand knows what its right hand is doing in Europe. But in that cast- Secretary Acheson should take oc casion to clarify American policy in Europe for the increasingly confused American lay man. % This layman sees and for the most part approves of the effort to “Marshallize” Europe. The European Recovery Program’s emphasis on economic unification of the continnent seems to most Americans cor rectly placed. More open to question, how ever, is the policy of depending so heavily on German cooperation to bring that ideal to fruition. It is proper to ask what practical effect the United States’ German policy is having or the program for European unification— tor the one is intended as insurance for the ether. Reports from Europe, unfortunately, have yet to give promkf/that American sup port for present German leadership is serv ing unification. These reports indicate that European in dustrialists are combining to exploit the commercial possibilities of the situation which American influence has done so much to create. This is a situation in which n number of the most important' German steel, gasoline, and other plants are apparently to escape earlier plans for their dismantlement. It is a situation in which some of Europe’s “in ternationally minded” industrialists—if the term is not too kind—are once more look ing forward to building up international trusts or cartels under which Europe’s mar kets would be divided bv prearrangement, prices could be kept high by throttling com petition, and expansion of industrial capac ity could be. limited by private agreement. This is not just a German plan by any means nor is it a Marshall Plan by any means. What is being noted both in Europe end the United States is the growing pos sibility that the industry of the “new Ger many” will play a big part in the revival of an “old Europe.” The raising of Europe’s living standards, the creation of a Europe economically more self-dependent—these are American aims. But they are not likely to be achieved if while European governments slowly pull down trade barriers, the division of Europe into areas dominated by great private var tels is to proceed. Somehow the United States must find a way to *build the necessary political bul warks against communism in western Eu rope without promoting ultra-conservative elements which can only conceive of Europe as it was in the years between the wars. Has United States leadership yet found a way to do this? If it has, the news from Europe does not reflect it -or the news from Washington state it. Who's To Maine? Christian Science Monitor. The dweller in canyons of brick and mor tar sometimes recoils as sharply as does the man who lives near the woods lrom a pic ture of fiery destruction in the “forest pri meval.’' Both ought to do some recoiling from the picture' drawn by 15-148 statistics of the American Forest Products Industries, and to do also a little soul-searching as to the part each may have played. * During 1948 there were 67,775 fires in for ests under some form of organized protec tion. Of this number, 63,883 were man caused- only 4,393 by "nature”. Worst still, 14,987 are charged up to smokers careless ness on the face of it, completely avoidable, as any woodsman knows. And this is shock ing: 20,047 forest fires are listed as incen diary set deliberately. A queer and mysterious I'acF stands out from this record of incendiarism. Of the 20,047 total, two-thirds of this firebug ac tivity took place in but seven of the 41 states reporting: Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas. Is this a statistical freak? Is protec tion in these states that far from adequate? Are they plagued with lumbering wars? Or is the urge to see woodlands go up in smoke a local phenomenon? At any rate, one cannot read these statis tics without becoming increasingly convinc ed that forest fires are rarely calamities of nature, beyond the power of men to pre vent. Shonhl He Invest!gated Sampson Independent. Nothing should be left undone to find the veal cause of the dauiugt said to* baceo cured with anthracite coal stokers. Many growers who used that type of curer this year were penalized late in the market tobacco. The tobacco, in many instances, was not purchased b\ the manufacturers, but was taken by the Stabilization Corpora tion at much, lower [vices than it ordinarily would have sold for. It has been reported that not all tobacco cured with this type of stoker showed dam age. Some observers have said that damag ed leaf results from stokers which are not adjusted properly. If that be true, then the trouble could be remedied. Reports have it that the damaged tobacco bought by the tobacco companies before it was discovered and by the Stabilization Cor poration has been packed separate from the ether tobacco, and that hogsheads contain ing the so-called damaged tobacco will be opened later to determine whether the dam age, which is said to cause disintegration of the leaf, is continuing. The findings will prove of general interest to tobacco grow ers, warehousemen and the buying com panies alike. Surely, the matter should be investigate by competent researchers before the arrival of another tobacco-curing season, and theii findings made known to the growers.

I did it with my little shorthand pencil. , , , At the time, 1 was working for the War Industries Board in Wash ington as a stenographer, and running out to get chocolate soda; for Mr. Baruch, its chairman. A few days before the Armistice, a Board executive handed me a lat ter and told me to deliver it to the proper party. The proper party was Woodrow Wilson. The White House that day was a jumble of senators, Cabinet mem bers, ambassadors and important brass. News of the Armistice was expected any hour, and the tension was like the last few seconds of the Dempsey-Firpo f.ght. I handed the letter to one of Mr. Wilson's secretaries, and was asked to wait in case of a reply. A few minutes later the secretary re turned, looking puzzled. "The President would like to see you,” he said. I got trembly in side. I was pushing 18 at the time fresh out of the East Side, and also plain fresh. But my dealings with Pres idents had been limited to the ope 1 had seen on dollar bills, Mr. Wilson smiled when he saw me. "I understand you're quite a shorthand writer,” was his greet ing. MY TREMBLES vanished 1 knew the President was a shorthand writer of sorts—the tachygraphy magazines were always bragging about it. “I hear you're pretty good yourself, Mr. President,” 1 blurted out. Mr. Wilson blushed prettily. "1 don't get much chance to practice these days" he said, tike a fisherman apologizing lor a six-inch trout. "Mr. Baruch tells me you can write 200 words a minute. I wonder if you'd give me a little demonstration." He handed me a pad and a pen cil, and ’-picked up a New York newspaper on his desk. Then, in his dipped, precise speech, he read one 'of the editorials at about 150 words a minute. When he had finished, the President said. "Now let's hear you read it back.” CHURCF NEWS MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN Church service Saturday morn ing at 11 by D. C. Gurkins. Bible school at 10. J. S. Holli day, Supt. Church service at 11 by P P.

And then I started at the bottom of the page and read the editorial backwards. Wilson chuckled. He asked me questions about Gregg shorthand— he was a Pitman writer. By this time, I was patronizing him a lit tle—the caddie who shoots a 61 isn't self-conscious when he dis cusses mashie shots with a Rocke feller. . . . I PICKED CP the New York pa per and handed the pad and pencil to Mr. Wilson. “I wonder if you’d mind writing for me, Mr. Presi dent,” I said. Wilspn rubbed his glasses on his sleeve. "Don’t go too fast,” he warned. I read the editorial at about one hundred words a minute, aud then asked him to read it back. Vi'hen I told him he had made no mistakes, the President sighed like a kid who has just finished playing ’The hived M allz’ for Paderewski. I picked up his notes. “If you don't mind, sir,” I said. "I'd like to keep them." Woodrow Wilson reached for my shorthand notes. “We'll exchange,” he said. I walked out of the While House and floated back to my office via the rooftops. 1 had no sooner gotten to my desk than the phone rang. "Mr. Baruch wants to see you,” said his secretary. < "Pretty good for Delancey street” 1 isaid to myself as I walked down the hall. “Weodrow Y/ilsoi and Bernie Baruch iii on* hour.” The gill in Mr. Baruch’s office looked up as 1 boUfDed in. “The boss wants you to get him a chocolate soda,” she said.
