WOOL MARKET
BOSTON. Dec. 21 (AP-USDA)
Scattered sales In the Boston
market this week comprised lim
ited quantities of domestic wools
and moderate quantities of Mcr
ino type foreign wools. Demand
for fine and half blood foreign
wools was somewhat broader
than in the previous week and
prices were firm. Quotations on
domestic fine and half blood
wools also were firm because of
limited supplies and some de
mand at current quotations.
Quotations were very steady on
domestic wools coarser than half
blood. Graded combing bright
fleece wools were quoted on a
grease basis at 45-46 cents for
fine delaine, 44-45 cents for half
blood and 44-48 cents for three
eighths and quarter blood.

DEATH RATE
"Nothing In all the world Is

tuberculosis Is a preventable dis
ease and therefore needless. Yet
it goes on year after year killing
an army of 150,000 and desolat
ing countless homes In which
half a million men and women
are dragging themselves to
graves dug by this single enemy,"
stated David Bridge, Mills school
physical education instructor, in
a radio Ulk given Thursday eve-
ning during the Christmas seal
sale that will close Christmas
day.

three deaths in Klamath county

' Tuberculosis is catching.
"The average confinement for
a person who has tuberculosis is
from one to three years. Last
j year there were 15 persons In
Klamath county who developed
tuberculosis. For every person
confined to the state sanitarium
: it costs $60 per month. Thirty
dollars is paid by the state and
$30 is paid by the county. The
patient is free from cost except
for what clothing is necessary
while confined.
"But is he free from expense?
The average working man makes
approximately 621 cents per hour
or $26.25 for a 42 hour week. I
might also say for one year the
average wage earner makes ap
proximately $1365. No man
working for wages can financial
ly afford to spend from one
to three years in tuberculosis
sanitarium. This is especially
true if the victim has dependents.

nation-wide sale when 1139,

"When you buy Christmas
seals you help make possible the
discovery of people with early

health education of adults as well

patients in obtaining suitable re
employment. "Ninety-five per cent of the
Income from the sale of seals

Br FREDERICK GARDNER
NEW YORK, Dee. 31 UP)
Christmas shoppers in the final
holiday buying rush mad cash
registers from coast ' to coast
ring today with cheerful tunes
of good business.
Swelling the shopping tide In '
retail trade districts of many
industrial communities war
thousands of consumers who had
found jobs in recent months in '
war supply factories.
Manufacturing amp loyment
was estimated in business cir
cles the highest on record, al.
though several millions re
mained to ba absorbed In priv
ate payrolls as result of the
growth of the nation's labor
forces in the past decade.
Overtime pay in defsr.se
pressed industries, such as tools
and shipbuilding, contributed to
the Christmas spending splurge.
As the shopping whirl ap
proached its climax in a war
time setting of free spending
mixed with misgivings about
the future of consumers goods
production, trade reports indi
cated - the best retail turnover
since 1929 at industrial centers.
Dun Se Bradjtreet, Inc., said
there was "increasing evidence
that consumer holiday buying
was shaping up to the best vol
ume in a decade."
"Store traffic was of capacity
proportions in many large clt
ites and retail turnover in units
frequently was found to be, the
heaviest since 1029," the mer
cantile agency added.
