seriously ill in Long Beach,
Calif .,l hospital with a myste
rious infection. Hilton wrote
"Lost Horizon" and "Goodby,

Building Offered
To Central Point
. For Use of City
' Central Point An investiga
tion by an architect of a build
ing offered to the city of Central
Point for use as a combination
city and fire hall was requested
'after a special city council meet
'ing on Thursday. ,
John Cupp suggested the Cow-
ly building at the corner of Pine
;and Second sts. be sought by the
.city for $21,500, and Cupp would
buy the present city hall for
$10,000, a difference of $11,500
The Cowley building has
about 82 feet of Pine st. frontage
and 140 feet on Second st. It is
two stories high with a one-
story addition on the rear.
Will Make Study
The council decided to have
an architect's report on the build
ing's condition and necessary
rennovations to make it usable
as a city building. The report is
due at Monday's regular council
meeting.
There would be enough space
available in the proposed struc
ture to house the city's library,
all city departments and a recrea
tion center as well, officials said.
Central Point voters recently
approved a $20,000 bond issue
for construction of a new fire
hall and library building. Use of
the funds for purchase of an old
building and remodeling would
necessitate another election, they
added. '

NO ONE IS BORN WITH TUBERCULOSIS. Yon catch TB from
someone who has the disease in active form. Programs to teach
the facts about TB and to build good health for greater resistance to
miecnon are earned on by 3,000 tuberculosis associations through
oat the United States. Christinas Seal funds support this work.
NOT A PRETTY PICTURE especially when yon are on the
receiving end. A sneeze, a cough, a kiss, or fast talking by a per
son who has active tuberculosis can spread the germs., The tuber
culosis associations work toward early discovery of all cases of TB.
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of all cases of tuberculosis
are necessary to break the chain of infection and bring the disease
under control. Today more and more cases of TB are being found
in the earlier and more easily curable stages when new develop
ments in surgery and chemotherapy are particularly effective.
Christmas Seals help find TB.

One fourth of the people in the United States are believed to be infected with the germs
that cause tuberculosis.
400,000 Americans have active tuberculosis.
150,000 of these are unknown cases.' '
110,000 new cases are reported in one year.
20,000 people die of f B in one year.
Tuberculosis costs the American people approximately $600,000,000 a year.
Yet tuberculosis caq be prevented and can be cured.
The voluntary tuberculosis associations affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Association
are engaged in year-round programs in cooperation with other voluntary and official
agencies for the prevention and control of tuberculosis through health education, case find
ingrehabilitation, and medical research.
A SIMPLE SKIN TEST, either Mantous (left) or Patch (right),
determines whether tuberculosis germs are present. One fourth
of the American people are believed to have the germs that cause
tuberculosis in their systems. Tuberculin testing among school
children is one of the TB control activities supported by the sale
of Christmas Seals. A positive tuberculin test does not necessarily
mean that the disease is present. It does mean that there has
been an invasion of TB germs from some source. A chest X-ray
and other laboratory tests are necessary to diagnose TB.

THE DOUBLE-BARRED
CROSS is the registered trade
mark of the National Tubercu
losis Association, a voluntary
organization of doctors and lay
men, supported by the annual
Christmas Seal Sale. Today the
NTA has 3,000 affiliated associ
ations in every state and terri
tory of the United States. The
basic unit in the voluntary forces
against TB is the local, self
governing tuberculosis associa
tion. The activities of the TB
associations are financed by the
annual sale of Christmas Seals.

' TUBERCULOSIS ATTACKS THE LUNGS most often, although
it can and does attack any part of the body. The TB patient
requires special care: rest, diet, drugs, and possibly surgery. Christ
mas Seal funds support programs of education for doctors and
nurses in the latest techniques for treating and curing TB. The
medical section . of the NTA, the American Trudeau Society,
advances scientific knowledge about tuberculosis and promotes
improvements in prevention and treatment '
M. m
. TB MAY ATTACK ANYONE at any age of any race rich or poor. TB Is everybody's
( problem. In 1954, the voluntary tuberculosis associations celebrated the 50th anniversary of
the National Tuberculosis Association, . the first organization in which doctors and laymen
joined to fight a specific disease. Great progress has been made but TB is not yet defeated.
The death rate has been cut 90 per cent, yet TB strikes every five minutes, kills every twenty
second minute. There is no simple solution to tuberculosis today. But if modern knowledge
about TB and modern techniques for its control are used to the fullest extent, tuberculosis can
be defeated in this country. '
Hgs Ilia wi
THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE, in schools, homes where
ever she goes, is a front-line fighter in the war against TB. The
tuberculosis associations work closely with the nurses as well as
with other official and voluntary health organizations in activities
to prevent and control TB.
' OF THE 400,000 ACTIVE CASES OF TB in the United States
about 150,000 are unknown. These people may be innocently
spreading TB serins to family members, friends, and fellow work
ers. When symptoms ameer: tiredness, loss of weight and appetite,
persistent coughing, spitting blood; TB already has a head start.

THE CHEST X-RAY CAN FIND evidence of TB svea in the
earlLwt stares of the disease when there are no outward symp
toms. This is one of the strongest weapons in the attack on TB,
Chest X-ray surveys of apparently healthy people are aided by the
annual sale of Christmas Seals.

TUBERCULOSIS IS CAUSED BY A GERM the tubercle bacillus. This rod-shaped villain
first identified in 1882 is not easy to defeat. Modern drugs can check its development, but
scientists still search for better drugs that will kill the germs without harming the human
host Christmas Seal funds support medical research against TB.
REST IN BED IN A HOSPITAL Is a standard treatment for
tuberculosis, but ifs hard for a man to rest when he worries
about his family and about his future. The TB associations work
with hoaoHals and other arencies to help both the patient and his
family adjust to the necessary treatment and to the often long
and difficult period of separation.
r
PREPARING FOR THE DAY
when he will leave the hospital
is an important part of the pa
tient's complete cure. Rehabili
tation programs help prevent
another breakdown with TB.
