MAIL TRIBUNE It All Depends. . . Tuberculosis, once called the "white plague," is on the wane, fortunately. It is now far down the list of fatal illnesses, where not many years ago it was near the top. : One famous TB sanitarium in the east is closing, because three developments have made it unneces sary: There is a lack of patients; new drugs have per mitted home and out-patient treatment of the disease, and a high climate is no longer a necessary corollary to treatment. DUT, hidden in the successful fight against tuber " culosis lies a danger that people can become too complacent, too unworried about the dangers of TB. It is this danger that is one of the things the Jack son County Public Health association has set out to fight The familiar Christmas Seals (now on sale, by the way) are the association's only major source of in come, and with them they are waging a continuous battle to educate, to inform, to warn people that TB is still a dangerous illness, despite the advances made m its treatment. TN addition, the association has initiated a significant A new development in TB detection the installa tion in Community hospital (to be followed next month at Sacred Heart hospital) of equipment to take chest x-rays of all new patients, plus anyone else who wants this "insurance." The days of the mass chest x-ray surveys, using mobile units, have passed, largely due to government al economy measures, and the new plan is designed to fill this gap. . . - Since by far the greatest number of tuberculosis cases are discovered among patients entering hospit als, it was decided it would be logical to equip Med ford's two larger hospitals for easier and faster de tection. A NUMBER of cases of tuberculosis have been dis " covered in Jackson county this year, and it is esti mated that there may be 100 or more cases in this area which are unknown to anyone, even the victim. These people are dangerous to themselves and to their neighbors. , The Health association recommends that every one get a chest x-ray at least once a year, and those who smoke should do so twice a year. In this way, if anyone does contract TB, it will be in the earliest stage when treatment and cure are relatively easy and certain. The charge at the two hospital x-ray units is nom inal, covering only the cost of the film. The satisfac tion of knowing one doesn't have TB is worth the price of admission a hundred times over. (This writer once got a "call-back" after a routine chest x-ray to have a bigger picture made. He spent a miserable . few days before the appointment, wondering and worry ing. When the. trouble turned out to be nothing more than old pneumonia scars coupled with a chest cold the relief was overwhelming. Even with modern treatment, TB is nothing to laugh at.) ANOTHER phase of the battle against TB is under way through the county public health department. It is conducting tuberculin skin tests in about one third of the school children in the county this year. Another one-third are to be tested next year, and the job will be completed the following year. Ihe tests,' while not conclusive, do show uo in stances where TB can be suspected, and then further tests are made. The tests, of course, cannot be made without the consent of parents, but we can't imagine l j - : it. j i , i i .i i any paieiib uenyiiig mis. opportunity to niS Cnlia. TUBERCULOSIS can be wiped out. Developments " within the past few years have proven this. Treat ment has improved to a point where a case discovered soon enough is no longer a serious medical problem. How long TB will be a killer depends on how well people choose to protect themselves and their neigh bors by taking advantage of the excellent programs of detection and prevention available to them. E.A. In The Day's By FRANK JENKINS This changing world note: A hefty mail carrier in Port land again has won the national men's crocheting championship. Fifty-three-year-old Anthony S. White won the top award with a fancy tablecloth entered through the Multnomah county fair. He did the same thing in 1950 and 1952. White says his hobby is a good cure for ulcers- j. QUERY:, Why should a mail carrier need a cure for ulcers? Are ulcers an occupational hazard in the mail-carrying busi ness? I'm asking strictly for in formation. .No nasty cracks in tended. INCIDENTALLY, I'm all in fa vor of the women moving over increasingly into the jobs formerly supposed to be reserved for V men. The ' men," goodness knows, have, made enough of a mess of things. Maybe the wom en can do better. BY the way; have you noticed the increasing number of women who are becoming deer hunters? During the season re cently closed, I heard of at least a half dozen who got their buck, skinned it .and dressed it out There was a time when that would have been looked at as kance as a task for women's lily-white hands. Even in deer-hunting, 1 think, Monday, December 6, 1954 News women can be useful. Maybe they can teach the men to be more careful about what they are shooting at before pulling the trigger. .. . So far, I haven't heard of a woman hunter mistaking an other hunter for a deer, with fatal results. EFORE- getting clear off the subject, I'd like to add that it might be a splendid idea if more men took up this Portland mail carrier's hobby of crocheting ta bleclothes. Especially, those who have been taught how. to handle guns. It might decrease the inci dence of ulcers among wives. Husbands . sitting at home and crocheting on. a tablecloth are comparatively safe. A NOTHER note on this chang "ing world: A bulletin from Eugene con veys the" information' that 1 the average income in 1953 of grad uates of the University of Ore gon school of journalism was $130.74 per week, ora" total of $6798.47 per year. .. . t s The figures come from a sur vey made among all living grad uates of the Oregon, journalism school from 1916 through 1953. Replies came from 31 states, the District of Columbia and eight foreign countries. T think perhaps George Putnam, editor emeritus of the Salem Capital-Journal, and I can re- Matter of Fact AFTER CENSURE Washington The Democrats have already decided on the strategy they will adopt in the matter of Joseph R. McCarthy, now that he has been cen- itT 1 sured. It is to leave mm lie where they flang him." Logically, of course, McCar thy should now be forced to answer the Stewart Alsop questions which he was censured for re fusing to answer. A few Demo crats those who believe that McCarthy should be expelled favor making the attempt to force him to do so. But the great majority want to avoid any revival of the McCarthy is sue, when the Democrats take control of the Senate. ' The reason is simple. The pol icy of Sen. Lyndon Johnson, as Minority Leader, was to let the Republicans fight among them selves about McCarthy. This policy was much attacked in lib eral quarters, but it has now been triumphantly vindicated by events. x Johnson and a majority of his fellow Democrats see no reason to alter a policy which has work so well. Any further in vestigation of McCarthy by the Democratic - controlled Senate would simply keep his name in the headlines. And, by giving the McCarthy issue a party colo ration, it might tend to halt Mc carty's steep political decline. "jyfOREOVER, Sen. Thomas Hennings of Missouri, the logical choice to head a commit tee to finish the unfinished Mc Carthy business, has no stomach for the task. "I don't want to make a career out of investigat ing McCarthy," Hennings says and many of his colleagues warmly sympathize with this na tural reluctance. Thus it has been rather easy for the Demo crats to agree on a "leave him lie" policy toward McCarthy. But there is nothing easy about the problem that now confronts the Republicans. The censure vote revealed, as noth ing else could, how deep is the split in the Republican party. The vote on the Mundt resolu tion was particularly . signifi cant. This resolution,, slapping McCarthy's wrist for "intem perate statements," got only 15 votes. This was because the hard-core McCarthyites, like Jenner, Malone, Welker, and Dirksen, joined the Eisenhower Republicans and the Democrats in voting against it. In short, for the real McCarthyites there is no middle ground at all. They are the true irreconcilables. Moreover, Senate Republican Leader William Knowland has seemingly gone over to the anti Eisenhower wing of . the party with his votes against censure. Knowland's position, taken to gether with the implacable fury of the right-radicals, make it difficult to see how the Republi can' party can - operate in the Senate as an organized political grouping with an agreed central strategy. rpHE McCarthy battle has also badly damaged the grass roots ; party organization, espe cially in the Middle West. Most Democratic party workers are professionals they have city hall jobs or useful city hall con nections. Most Republican party workers are amateurs. And in the Midwest, many of these amateurs are McCarthy fanatics. .Thus the cleavage of the Mc Carthy issue is complete, from top to bottom of the Republican party. And now, on top of every thing else, there is more and more talk of a pro-McCarthy third party movement. This talk seemed until recently, an empty threat by the McCarthyites. Now it begins to look serious, simply because the irreconcilables have nowhere else to go. This third party talk has caused much gleeful anticipa tion in Democratic circles, just as the Communist-run Progres sive party movement caused much delight in Republican cir cles in 1948. But there are per fectly genuine reasons for be lieving that, even if a McCarthy third party movement does de velop, the Democrats nowadays may be counting just, as many unhatched chickens as the Re publicans in 1948. HHAKE, for example the New Jersey vote this year, which has not been generally under stood. In New Jersey, a tavern keeper and perennial candidate called Henry ; Krajewski got himself on the ballot.. He ran as an. all-out pro-McCarthy candi date. He got close to 30,000 votes,-almost ten-times the mar- member about as far back into the newspaper business as any of them hereabouts;" ' I'd like to put this question to George: What would your editor have thought and doubtless said if in your cub days you had lean ed back in your chair and de livered yourself of the prophecy that the time would come when newspaper reporters would go to college and- wind up earning $130.74 a week, or a total of $6798.47 per year? r i Is. : By Stewart Also gi nby which Republican Clif ford Case beat Democrat Charle ford Case defeated Democrat Charles Howell. But the extraordinary aspect of the Krajewski vote is this. The bulk of his votes came from normally overwhelmingly Dem ocratic precincts in Jersey. City. The conclusion is obvious and it is the conclusion the New Jer sey Democrats . have drawn. Krajewski beat Howell. Or, to put it another way, McCarthy elected Case. r A further conclusion is also obvious. A defection of' the right wing radicals would not only end the long agony within the Republican party. It" might actually help the Republicans at the polls. For in many areas where McCarthy is strongest, a McCarthy party would split the Democratic vote far more than the Republican vote. Moreover, as the 1948 vote suggested, there is an underlying self -compensatory rule in American poli tics. A party gains, rather than loses, by shuffling off its radi cal extremes. (Copyright, 1954, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) Is That So? Before m a n domesticated plants and animals, his prog ress was pitifully slow. Then, perhaps 10,000 years ago when he . began bending plants and compliant animals, insects and birds to his own uses, suddenly he shot ahead at a phenomenal pace. Quite likely, man's first part ner was the dog, then the pig. Next in order, came cattle and reindeer. Then, sheep before goats; ass before horse; horse before camel and elephant. . THE DOG: It is th only domes tic animai common in both the old and new world since ancient times. Evidence indicates that the'dog associated with man 10,- 000 years ago. The fact that wol ves and dogs interbreed readily and have fertile offspring indi cates that the wolf is the dog's most immediate ancestor. s SWINE: Of great antiquity, its origin is shrouded in obscurity. Its remains have been found in the pre-historic ;- lake cities of Switzerland. It may have deS' cended partly from the Euro- pean wild boar or the Indian wild pig. CATTLE: They have served man well for meat, milk, butter, cheese, hides, draught, and trans port. Cattle may have come from the steppes in Asia, the valley of the Euphrates, and the forested parklands of Europe. Its European ancestor may have been the aurochs, a wild bison, which once grazed , in Britain and was still abundant in the Black Forest of Germany during Caesar's time. In the Far East India and China, and Madagascar and Afri ca cattle are distinguished by a humD. indicating perhaps a dif ferent source. In Tibet, there is yet another version the yak, a lone-haired animal which be came the beast of burden and source of meat and milk. Ancestry Seen Close Because air these cattle inter breed : and produce . fertile off spring, their ancestry must be close. , Ancient Egyptians, good breed ers of animals, developed a long horn and hornless . strain. As early as the 28th century before Christ, Egyptians milked from the right side and tied the cow s legs to ' protect 'the milker. (Which reminds me: a boy in the 20th century, A.D., once tied a cow's tail down in fly-time with a brick! Only- once. I know, because I was that skull-whacked cowhand). The goat, on the con trary, was milked from behind. REINDEER: Although it has been used for many centuries in Northern Europe, I Asia ; and America as a draft ! animal and the supplier of wonderfully rich milk, meat and hides, it is still in a wild - domesticated state. Men of the northland may still camp alongside a .wild herd, single out individuals for their use, as they desire. SHEEP: Their breeds are so diverse it is quite possible that several kinds may have shared in producing today's domesti cated animaL Yet notable differ ences exist between the tamed and wild. For one thing, most domesticated sheep, have" long tails the wild 'are short; the wild have hair most of the do mestic grow wool. The closest animal to the do mestic sheep seems to be the wild sheep of Corsica, northwest India, and mideastern Europe. But then in domestication, changes in the animal may be so great that their origins are dif ficult to recognize. Certainly, in fairly recent times the changes made in various breeds of dogs, horses, cattle, cats and pigs are tremendous. j ... V J Nurserymen Elect Elwood Stansfield Elwood Stansfield, of Stans field nursery, Medford, has been elected president of the Rogue Valley Nurserymen and Grow ers association, according to members of the organization. J. Vernon Marshall, of Marsh all Nursery and Florist, was re elected secretary - treasurer and business agent. Other officers named were Ruth Walden, vice president, and Mary Hanley, sergeant-at-arms. Members of the board of direc tors are Mrs. Tom Carter, Ash land; Jack Williams, Ashland, and D. R. Morgan, Grants Pass, together with the officers and Kenneth Meadows, past presi dent, Medford. Most Rogue valley nursery men and grawers are members of the association, which was formed four years ago to estab lish minimum prices and " to create, mutual understanding among growers. By Eugene Burnt Ranger-Naturalist GOATS: The domestic goat, smell and all, probably originat ed from the wild goat of Persia. They have been kept, by man since ancient times they were dwellers with man in the pre historic lake cities of Switzer land. - : CAT: Kept by the ancient Egy ptians, they probably descended from - a common wild cat of Egypt. Whether the present day domestic cats of the rest of the world descended from this caf- fre is debatable. As for the so- called Persian cat, it is a variety of the Siamese, Russian and Manx cats all of which, quite likely, are derived from the same stock as the other , cats. As with dogs, distinct breeds have been attained through careful breeding and selection.

HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System "During the time the moon was full in November, it came up so far north that I was sur prised. I had never seen it m that location before. What was wrong?" This query came from three different sources. There was nothing wrong with our lunar neighbor. During every month the moon rises and sets far north for a few 'nights, but most of ii. j - n inc lime inis occurs ai an nour when it is not noticed. But when it takes place at full moon arid with a clear sky it is widely observed. ; . ' ' ' Simple Rule i : Let us state a simple rule for the location of the full moon. Practically everyone knowslfrom observation that in our latitudes during the longest -days of the year the sun rises far over toward the ; northeast, slants toward the south as.it climbs the sky, and by noon is only a little south of the,, zenith. Then it slides down northward and fi nally sets toward the northwest. It is above the horizon about 23 of a 24-hour period. During the shortest , days Old ; Sol rises toward the southeast, crosses the heavens low in the south and sets in a general southwest di rection. Thus it is- above the horizon about half as long as in the summer. The full moon, at any time of year, rises at about sunset ana is in the opposite part of the sky from -the sun. This means that in June the full moon is far to the south and crosses the sky in about the way the sun does in December. The December full moon, still opposite the sun, very nearly repeats the sun's antics for June. In other words, the full moon rises and crosses the sky in practically the same loca tion that the sun did six months earlier. Relieve Se-fferiog Fast-Effectively with Moo Many Changes Noted Since Pearl Harbor Date 12 Years Ago By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent It is almost incredible how the world picture has changed in the 13 years since ; Pearl Harbor. ; . There will be a simple cere mony on Tuesday, on the hulk of the battleship Ari zona which lies on the muddy bottom of Pearl Har bor to mark the anniver sary. A I Cbarlo McLann Amen cans generally will remember that it is Pearl .Harbor day, and many of them may take time to read the . brief dispatches . telling of the ceremony. But the big news m the Paci fic probably will come, from Tokyo, where Premier Shigeru Yoshida faces a vote of confi dence that may overthrow him. Officials in the State Depart ment will be pulling for Yo shida. A Japanese cabinet crisis is bad news in Washington these days. Yoshida is a good friend of the United States and also, administration officials w a n t ! nothing to happen which might interfere with their program of building. up a strong Japanese army. Who could have foreseen on Dec. 7, 1951, that the United States today would be arming the most detested enemy in its history, an enemy far more bit terly detested than Hitler Ger many or Fascist Italy? - Who could have foreseen that for the same reason Japan is be ing armed, the United States would be. trying to build up a German army. It is necessary to - remember that on Pearl Harbor day Soviet Russia became an. ally of the United States. Russia was a strange ally. The Kremlin had betrayed Great Britain and France by entering a "non-aggression" pact actu aly an aggression pact against Poland with Nazi Germany one week before World War II started. . - But Hitler had betrayed Stalin in turh and had marched against Russia on June 22, 1941. Russia did not declare war against Japan when that coun try attacked Pearl Harbor and swept through southeast Asia. Russia was fighting for its very life against Germany. It is ques tionable -whether it would have survived,' as a Communist dic tatorship, had it not been for American aid. China also became an . ally of the United States. It had been fighting a Japanese invasion Position A simple rule can also be given for the location of the crescent moon. It appears in the same general region of the sky as does the sun at that time not six months earlier. In June this location is far north; in Decem ber, far south. , One inquirer stated that the November moon about the time of full phase rose farther north each successive evening.". This is correct If the sky is clear dur ing this coming week, anyone who cares to observe can prove this for , himself. Full phase is reached on Thursday, Dec. 9. Be fore, that time moonrise will oc cur before sunset, but the moon can be seen then. December 4 the rising point will be a little north of due east; Sunday, still farther north. By Thursday eve ning Luna will "pop above' the sky line almost over the north east but not quite. The December full moon this year will, be unusually fine, and bright since it will be, nearer the earth than usual. .. . . - . 1 ; Cash ; ' j ; fit? $hop Early $hop Leisurely Enjoy the : greatest choice Get ahead of the Holiday 'y&l WSfc crowds Get a quick, cash loan from $tark && Vj&fc Finance Co. today!

What Christmas Is , To the Editor: On page three of the. second section ofTues day's Mail Tribune the question is asked: "What Is Christmas really?" We feel the answer is to be found largely in the gospel of John, which has been called the gospel of the love of God. John 3:16 is often quoted; John 3:17 quite logically follows: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." . John 20:31 sums up John's reasons for His message: "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, and that believing ye might have life through His name." -Wouldn't you say then that Christmas is our. rejoicing for, and . recognition of our. benefits from God's gift to us? : Helen Messecar, Trail, Ore.
