PAGE TEN The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Thursday Morning, Dumber 22, 1932 GITYWILL PAY FIRE P; i F f-' NOTE Espy Protests aid on $170 Matter; Highway Ditch Is Eyed WOODBURN. Dec. 21. Over the objection of Councilman Espy, tha Woodburn city council decid ed that the city shall take over a note for $170, being held by the Tolunteer fire department. A frroup of the firemen, with Harold Miller as spokesman, appeared be fore the council Tuesday nisriit and asked that the city aid the firemen in paying off the note. Although the firemen have $90 on hand, most of that money r.ust be used to buy clothes and similar equipment. As there Is still 12 months before the note is due, and no provision for such a situa tion was mad in the ciiy s b id get, Councilman Espy urged that the council take no action at pres ent. The paying off of the $170 will make a large hole In the city budget's fire appropriation. The council refused to grant the request of John II. Neff, connect ed with the highway department la the present construction work, for permission to dig an open drainage ditch on Blaine street. The council held that there should not be an open ditch, but a thed one. It was also decided that the council Investigate conditions be fore giving authority to dig the ditch. Inspection Ordered At the owners of the Bogard building at the corner of Front and Hayes streets were unable to report any progress in the way of n agreement between the insur ance companies and themselves, the mayor was Instructed to pro cure an engineer to Inspect the building and report whether or sot It Is in dangerous condition. Harold Miller of the fire de partment also asked that the council aid the department in get ting some recognition, at least, for putting out a grass fire in Oc tober. The fire, outside the city limits, was started by the high way construction crew. The fire mens' work probably saved the de struction of a building. Although a letter had been sent to the high way department, no communica tion from the construction com pany has been received. Recorder Beach was ordered to write a let ter to the construction company. Large Delegation Will Attend Polk Budget Gathering INDEPENDENCE, Dec: 21.

SCHAEFFER. JR. A curious paradox of the pres ent depression is that apparently contrary to all previous exper ience and belief the death rate from tuberculosis has not risen. It has been preached for years that "poverty and tuberculosis go hand in hand," yet even after three years of lowered living stan dards the tuberculosis death rate continues to fall steadily. Does this destroy all previous knowledge? Have tuberculosis as sociations throughout the United States been broadcasting incorrect Information? Has tho money that has pone into health education year after year been wasted? The answer Is emphatically "no." The need for spreading the doctrine of "Watch Your Health" is greater now than it ever was, for in addition to the threat con tained in lowered living condi tions is the danger of worry, which often is ignored, but which is of great importance medically. It should be remembered that tu berculosis is not an overnight dis ease that conies on one suddenly. It usually steals into the body, taking its own time to establish a strong foothold before giving notice of Its presence. Therefore, although it may seem surprising that the tuberculosis death rate continues to go down during the present depression, it Is Impossi ble to guess how many people are now contracting the disease which in many cases will not make its presence known for years to come. Agirin, many persons are on the ragged edge of" health, and a slight push, such as lack of food, or even worry, is likely to tip the balance against them. May Suffer Unwittingly i Thertrare also the persons who, j without knowing it, have th U ease, and In their case the cud of the battle may be hastened by ex cessive deprivation. Most important of all is the pos sible effect of the depression on children. Our present knowledge of how tuberculosis begins and de velops during childhood Is that the child's living conditions and envir onment help to determine whether or not the child with early lesions will later develop the adult type of the disease. Many children now heavily Infected are at present presumably suffering enough de privation to cause the balance to turn unfavorably, and as a result they will later become victims of the disease. Thus, the havoc wrought by the present depres sion is not likely to show as a sud den jump in the mortality curve, but will spread over a period of years, and this will make the situ ation seem less important than It actually is. In considering these facts It should be kept fixed in mind that poverty by itself does not and can not cause tuberculosis. Tubercu losis is caused only by the tuber culosis bacillus. The person who has the disease is the chief source of infection to others. The germs of tuberculosis are likely to be in his sptum, on his lips, and on the eating and drinking utensils be uses, unless they are carefully washed. The more Intimate the contact with such a person Is, the greater is the danger of acquiring the disease. Children in a tubercu lous household are very likely to become infected. Public Given Facta It is for this reason that when a doctor discovers tuberculosis in one of his patients he urges that every member of the family shall be examined to discover which member is giving it to the others. The Importance of keeping these facts vividly before the public is greater at the present time than at any single period of BLANK I Oregon Statesman for 1 Mo. 50 cents. u, x bio, dug. w a a w. w n - Give The Oregon i States- j 111411 g tha past.
