14 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., WednexJiy, December 17, 195S Changes Brought About in TB Crusade Include Even Manners By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-'l?D - The tre mendous changes the 54-year-old anti-tuberculosis crusade has brought about include even our manners. Anyone who now coughs in public without covering his mouth with a handkerchief or at least with his hand, def initely is ill-mannered. Spit ting has been made so vulgar that even the word offends some ears. More and more mouth-kissing in confined to losers and spouses because of a prejudice implanted by the early crusad ers. It used to be everyone mouth-kissed parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and even good friends. Now it is the cheek which is polite to kiss and anyone who kisses a child on the mouth runs the risk of 2 V .rif . ft ruts lit i-i i 5 m ;s? L. .?

Crawiwood Dr., Grants Pass, CR 4-7344 getting slugged by an indigant mother. I It was drilled into our grandparents or parents that tuberculosis is a communic able disease which is com municated by intimate con tacts between people and by the sputum of the TB victim. This knowledge was taken very seriously 50 years ago when tuberculosis was feared like the plague and was, in deed, "the white plague." Sanitation a Gospel Sanitation was a gospel for the anti-tuberculosis crusaders and the good their preachings brought about, in cutting down the TB rate and also that of other communicable diseases, is incalculable. But their principal weapons were to find the persons who har bored active tubercle bacilli, isolate them, treat them in special hospitals or sanitari ums, and to improve general living conditions since tuber culosis was known to thrive among the undernourished who are crowded together in filth. There was no specific treatment,- really. What was done, in the main, was to build up the body defenses against the bacilli (whatever the defenses are) and give them the best possible chance to win out. This was done by keeping patients in beds for months at a time while fattening them with body building foods. Surgical tech niques, such as lung collapse and removal of diseased parts of the lungs, came later. 'Pure Air' Cure It worked, although why it worked was not apparent for some time. For a while "pure air" and dry air or cold air were thought to be curative. and sanitariums were located in mountains or deserts. Pa tients were forced to stay in beds on open, snowy, wind swept porches, swathed in blankets and furs. Sanitariums were being built at a tremendous rate. In 1900 there were less than 10,000 beds for the tubercu losis; by 1953, which was the crest year, there were 108,000 beds, 93 per cent of them in sanitariums. In 1900 there was one bed for every 18 tubercu losis deaths that year. In 1953 there were five beds for each tuberculosis death. Slowly it was understood that bed rest arrested tuber culosis in most cases, and it didn't matter where the bed was as long as the patient was confined to it. By the time the first "wonder drug" capable of killing tubercle bacilli came into wide use in 1947, both the death rate and the "new cases" rate were well below what they had been in 1900. The drugs have accelerated the pace but they have brought new and difficult problems with them. One is that the public has more con fidence in them than the tu berculosis physicians who use them. More Vets Said Attending School Salem More veterans are attending school under the state of Oregon veterans' ed ucational benefits program this fall than at any time since the program started in 1945, Franklin G. Reynolds, educational officer for the state department of veterans' affairs, reported today. A total of 1,298 World War II and Korean veterans are currently drawing benefits under the program, compar ed to the previous high of 950 in the fall of 1957, Rey nolds said. At the same time, he warn ed that World War II veterans have only until June 30, 1959, to start training under the program. There is no dead line for Korean veterans. Reynolds said one of the big reasons for the current popularity of the state's pro gram of educational assistance to war veterans is the liber alized amendments provided by the 1957 legislature. Nearly 1,300 veterans have used the program who would not otherwise have been el igible. Of these, 850 are World War II veterans who entered the program after the- 1957 legislature extended their deadline from Dec. 31, 1956, to June 30, 1959. Another 444 are Korean veterans who were not eligi ble until the 1957 legislature removed the requirement that their service had to be in the Korean theater to be eligible.
