Public Health Service, who predicts that, as a major health problem, the disease should be "virtu ally wiped out" in the next ten to fifteen years. The Surgeon-General explained that mass chest screenings by industries and community groups, followed by the isolation of infected persons, had erected a barrier to the spread of the disease. This, in turn, has made the disease itself "self -limiting." He also called attention to the BCG vaccine which is of great assistance in im munizing large groups of tuberculosis victims in slum areas. Th is interesting news to the peo ple of the country and reflects the progress being made in the fight to eliminate the disease. This is offset, however, by the fact that Dr. Scheele reports close to 50,000 cases of polio myelitis this year "making 1949 the most devastating year in the history of the disease.' He points out that there has been a marked upturn of poliomyelitis since 1943 and warns that "the end is not in sight." In the fight against infantile paral ysis, the most pressing need, he says, is for "a simple diagnostic test" to de termine the presence of the affliction. In addition, field investigation must determine how poliomyelitis is spread and why it behaves as it does. Referring to another dread scourge of mankind, malaria, the Surgeon- General termed it a "dying threat, and said that the disease is now re ferred to as "the ghost of malaria." This is another illustration of the progress being made against the ene mies of good health. Malaria, while not now the scourge it used to be is sometimes considered the likely cause of the death of some of the earth's earlier civilizations. How One City Got A New Industry When the war ended, Hazleton, Pennsylvania, had 4,000 unemployed. Its principle industry, hard-coal-min-insr. was providing less employment. Younger folk were leaving for other states and returning veterans showed little inclination to work in the mines. Facing these factors, the business men of Hazleton organized a com mittee to seek a new industry from some other section of the country. They recently dedicated a $3,500,000 plant, including three buildings, with 180,000 square feet of floor space to manufacture automotive and indust rial wire and cable. How did Hazleton get this industry with its annual payroll of $750,000? They promised the company half mil lion dollars if it would build in Hazle ton. It raised $658,000 through popu lar contributions which poured in at an amazing rate. Sums contributed ranged from fifty cents to $20,000 and 20,000 of the city's 38,000 people par ticipated. At the end of the three week's campaign, the committee 'had collected $659,000. There were no certificates, no stocks, no bonds. In addition, ar rangements were made to lend the company $700,000 to help in the cost of the plant. This sum will be paid at the rate of $90,000 a year for ten years, after which the plant will belong to the company, which invested an additional $2,300,000. We call attention to the Hazleton campaign because it illustrates how one community secured a new in dustry for the purpose of providing employment for the unemployed. It tooK hard work, no doubt, to raise the money, to make a $500,000 gift to an industry. Nevertheless, the end result was that the industry located in Hazleton and presumably, will add to the income of that city for, many years. There may. be objections to the do nation of large sums of money to in dustries for the purpose of persuading them to locate in a particular city. We share these objections, to some degree. Nevertheless, municipalities looking for industries must take cog nizance of what other areas offer. Obviously, an industrial plant, seeking a location, considers the cost and if some anxious community provides part of the cash, the company is apt to be persuaded. BIUPGE CLUB MEETS Mrs. J. H.
