o Parents of Small Children Urged lo Get Chest X-Rays Parents with young children in the family or with new babies expected are being urged by Dr. Ambrose Churchill of the Ore gon State Board of Health to see that all adult contacts of their children tiave chest ex rays once a year. This means is the best known method of de tecting tuberculosis and other communicable chest diseases and" preventing their spread to children. Dr. Churchill said on a recent visit to Medford. "The schoolroom is actually safer from this completely un necessary disease than their homes since the law provides that all school personnel must show proof that they are free of tuberculosis is strictly enforced," he said. A chest x-ray center is open to the public at Sacred Heart hospital each Thursday after noon from 2 to 5 o'clock where these x-rays are available for a nominal charge to cover opera tional costs. Appointments are 0, not required. Dr. Churchill added that of ten grandparents, older baby sitters and parents have been infected with the tuberculosis germs during their younger & years and are now unknowingly transmitting the infection to their children. The germ may lie dormant through most of a person's life and become active with the lowered resistance of older age, he said. He also pointed out that a chest x-ray can reveal early lung cancer, heart trouble and other conditions early enough so treat ment can be effective. if i 'As ' 7 DR.

Atom Bomb Can'lBe Fired Accidentally Las Vegas, Nev. 1U.R! The Atomic Energy commission's first field "safety" test confirm ed laboratory theories today that an atomic device can not be triggered accidentally. It took two announcements vesterday by the AEC to make clear that a high explosive charge set off next to an atomic device failed to detonate it.

Main Medford Phone 2-5211 Contributions to the United Medford Crusade have assisted St. Mary's Home for Boys, lo cated near Portland, in a pro gram of care and rehabilitation. One young boy, placed at St. Mary's by the Court of Domes tic Relations, had made 17 moves to new living situations, due to a succession of unsuccessful mar riages by his father. It was the court's contention that he would never be able to fit into a' fam ily situation and decided that an institution was the only hope. After spending 15 months at St. Mary's Home for Boys his adjustment was so excellent that upon graduation from grammar school he was sent home to live with his father, whose marital difficulties had subsided. 100 SMOKES Council Bluffs, la.
