Actual war and the preparation <-f « a r always brings a b m t confusion, duplication of effort and waste and the pr« sent effort to rearm has been no exception. One day we hear a statem ent made and t i e n»xt day the same statem n t contradicted. The existing s ■areity. or the ap parent scarcity, of many m aterials today never entered the pic tu re a few mouths back. A long range plaoni ¡g program has been consciously absent. But planning ahead is necessary in times of stress as well as in times of peace. Absi tee of it brings about m aladjustm ents and the n su lta .it difficult thins.

Before many weeks pass, the great annual Christm as Seal campaign will be on in earnest. The funds from these little seals are used to fight one of the most powerful of the horsem en's allies—Tu- bereulosis. Through the ages tuberculosis has been known as the great white plague. For centuries it was the num ber 1 killer. In tin o s of distress it literally destroyed whole populatnuis. The fa t that this is not true today is due solely to tin achí» vements re sulting from the continuous sncrilie« s of medical s ¡e litis ts C. L.
