The lettet tell that S3 Orei Ionian were found to have tuberculosi last year. It tells that .75 cent out of each dollar contributed tay in Klamath county to provide Klamath people with free chest X-rays, with a health education program, with rehabilitation aid to those recov ering from TB, and with con tinuous medical research. It tell that the seals are a dollar a sheet, and ask that this contribution be Included In each ChrUtma hopping list. An enclosure also tell some Interesting things to know about TB: Tuberculosi is caused by a garm. TB s "catching." You cannot Inherit TB from your parents. You can have TB without feeling sick. The doctor can tell whether or not you have TB by means ot X-ray and other tests. TB can usually be cured If found early enough and treated properly. The tuberculosis hospital i the beat place to go for treatment and to protect others from your germ. a a ' A It shi Is fine, and we all should appreciate the A work of these people who take time out from their own activities to do this job for the common good. Mr. Wilbur Shannon I fh.irmn of the seal sal committee, and probably she is enjoying working Ilk a dog on the project this year. Buch committee ahray pick a banker for treas urer. Bob Ross of the First National is this year s committeeman to look after the contribution money. We should appreciate the non-glamorou work these bank boy always do for the money-raising com mittees and that lead us to our point of con gratulations. Always, before, these contribution letters hv said, make your check payable to Elton H. Thompson, or 3J ADDISON to Roy D. Rakestraw, or to whoever the banker 1 who got sucked in on the job. I've no quarrel with Tommy'" Thompson nor with any of his banking buddies. They're (well guy, and they always come through on these thankless job. And there not on la a billion who would go south with any TB Baal funds, from checks made out in their name. II just that you don't get the aame do-gooder feeling when you writ Elton H. Thompson on your check that you would writing "Christmu Seals." This year1 letter doe NOT tell you to make your check payable to Robert Roes. You can make It out to -Christmas Seals," "TB Seal", "Double Cross Stamps" or to "Klamath County Tuberculosi and Health Association.'' Writ It out that way, and for only a buck or two. you U feel like a benefactor of mankind I World Today Br DEWITT MacKENZIK THE Allied policy ot keeping Germany disarmed Indefinitely already seems to be heading Into complication. This column the other day called attention to the reiteration In Europe by U. S. Defense Secre tary Johnson and U. S. Chief of Staff Bradley that America hu no Intention ot rearming the relch. I commented that this created a strange situation, since Germany Is being made an Integral part ot the Western European set-up and must be protected, and added: "Should another war develop between West and Eut Europe (which heaven forbid) Western Ger many presumably would be In the front-line de fense of the West. What happen then to the maintenance of German military Impotence f It seem a fair guess that the relch would become not only a vital base for operation ot the Western Allies, but might be Invited to call German man power to the color for defense." SINCE that writing, the Sosialdemokret, official newspaper of the -socialist demorratio party In Western Berlin, hu charged that the communist are creating a peoples army of 3(50.000 men In the Russian aone to Impose their politics even after the Russian military forces withdraw. Such an army would mean one armed Red for every 60 persons In the 8ovtet aone an ominous sounding figure. The Russian army newspaper Taegllche Rundschau made the counter-charge that the Americans and British are creating a 180.000 man police force In their sonea, and that the French are recruiting 7000 German police weekly. The Western Allies re tort that the total police force for all three aone i 113.000, which la one policeman for each 416 persons. WELL, there we hve a situation which gives pause for consideration. It is a position In which there could be a conflict between political and military thought. Not to put too fine a point on it, there are differences of opinion in some Im portant quarter u to whether Germany should be rearmed In the Interest ot general peace. The political viewpoint broadly speaking ha been that German disarmament is essential to the main tenance of peace. This thesis hu been strongly sup ported by the French who have suffered so griev ously from Invasion In the two World War. The political new hu been that the relch wasn't to be trusted again. The expressed military viewpoint in any country naturally follow the policy of the government. However, there I a large school of military experts among the Western Allies who maintain that from the practical standpoint Germany should be rearmed defensively. Such rearmament would be safeguarded by the maintenance of Allied military forces, and the German wouldn't be allowed again to create a military potential capable of aggression. The argument for rearming Germany rest mainly on two points: (1) The Germans admittedly are among the world's best fighting men. (2) If there I another general European war Germany is likely to be the cockpit IF the Cold War between the Russian bloc and Western Europe could be ended, the German picture would change. There no longer would be need of rearming the country. But until this unhappy strife between Eut and West Is called off, the rearmament of Germany will remain a moot question. Film Fanfare .Walter Huston Rules Out Memoirs after Trial Stint By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 2 WV-Walter Huston Is one veteran actor with no plana to pen his memoir. Huston, who 1 now working on "The Furies," wu Informed that both Ethel and Lionel Barrymore are writing their life stories. I ask ed him It he had any ideas about writing his. No, he laughed, "I tried It once. I sat down with a fellow and he wrote up a couple of pages. When I read them to the family, they said, 'No, It doesn't sound like you.' So I retired for a couple ot days and rewrote the two pages. "I read them to the family and they said, 'Good that sounds like you.' Right then I knew If it took me two days of hard labor to write so little. It would be too darn much work to write a book. So I gave It up." If the Huston story goes unwrit ten. It would be a grave loss to the history of 0. S. show business. He hu known every field and every star of the entertainment world since he began acting in 1902. N Claudette Colbert wants to direct a love story, but she doesn't know what or when. Furthermore, she's getting tired of talking about her directorial ambition. She won't give up acting.

She la on loan-out from JOth-Fox, which , still hu nothing scheduled for her. Bo what hu she proved? Marlon Brando, also a hit of "Streetcar," hu more respect for film work since performing in "The Men." "Its an entirely different medium and much harder than atage work," admit the young ac tor. He'll be doing no more films unless a deal to film "Streetcar" pan out Oertmd Lawrence may turn di rector after she finished "The Olass Menagerie."

Boyle's Column 01' Rockin Chair Shunned By our Modern Grandparents Pi m BOYLE Br HAL BOYLE NEW YORK ofv-The poor man's philosopher presents his annual soapbox lecture on old age: One ot the thtngs that make the United Bute great Is that It hu the youngest-minded grandmu and (rand pas in the world. In other countries a man la u old u his neighbors think he should be. But here he can really act u young u he feels. And peo ple are getting so they feel younger every generation. This refusal to grow old ranks u a far more Important Amer ican contribution to global culture than the Inven tion ot corn flakes or the ell nylon sock. It Is even more Important financially. People are willing to spend more hsrd ch to keep looking young and handsome than to make themselves comfortable. And this is true of the aging buck u well u the does, Gene rorever There Is s pension psychology rampant In the land, but the old rocking chair philosophy Is gone for ever. Nobody 1 looking forward to getting government lettuce at 65 Just to rent himself a chimney cor ner. Nope, the old folks at home aren't so anxious to stay at home. They want to buy a sport road ster and tour Florida or California. Ask Dr. Townsend. People are marrying younger to day and living longer. They get through the chillun-ralaing period sooner, but that doeant mean they want to call life quits. More and more they spend their declining year declining to admit that their only remaining function I to baby sit their grandchildren. Look around you and see who's doing the knitting and quilting.

There are more people In their forties and fifties taking rumba les sons than youngsters in their twen ties and thirties. And who keeps the night clubs going? Well, it isn't the young men with applea In their hands. They haven't the time or money to afford It. It's the oldtlmers. too. who buy the most lotions and war paint and keep the barbers and dentist In clover. They're going to look their beft if It bust an artery.

Deo. 1 tPV-Oold has lost some ot lis popularity In Ihe but tew days. The little cloud It Is under un doubtedly will be temporary. Gold hu weathered some turbulent times in the last few score centuries. It Is still a valuable thing to have. But currently there aeems to be a tendency here and there to give a cold shoulder to gold either In It present limited monetary role or In It possible Inure usefulness. The most Immediate reaction comes from Paris where there Is a gold market actively reflecting what men think of gold. On a longer term basis, there Is an Indirect re action out of Wuhlnglon where all thoughu of gold seem to have van ished for the moment In Paris the price that gold de manrtt In paper francs hu been go ing down steadily for the put week. The old American J0 gold piece in Pari itartcd trading today at around 3000 franca. Only a few davs ago that aame piece of gold commanded the equivalent of about 11 more. In other words, the Frenchman would rather have paper franca than lower and lower prices. One report from Part Indicated there wu a general pressure among gold hold ers to get ch possibly lor Christmss shopping. Of course, the Paris gold market ta something of an Allce-tn-Wonder-land affair. To begin with there Is no objection to a Frenchman or American owning a IN (old piece In Paris and buvtng and selling It But U they tried It in this country, thev would be liable to arrest. Using gold for money In America hu been Il legal since 1033. Then. too. the 130 gold piece Is really a 133 gold piece. It hu been worth nearly that on the books ever since President Roosevelt raised the price of gold In steps from 130 67 a fine ounce to 3S bark In 1833-J4. But the Frenchman regards it ss equivalent to a $90 gold piece. He is willing to change his money for .... l.irn It i. the glory of our civilisation &"iJ .I, Tto that the old folks won t be crowded 'h ' " off' the scent until they are ready to go. Doctor Soys Safeguard Child Against Scalp Ringworm Exposure By EDWIN F. JORDAN, M. D. During recent years there have been a number of serious outbreaks ot ringworm of the scalp In chil dren. This is in some respects quite different from ordinary ringworm, and although it Is comparatively euy to prevent It I quite difficult to treat This kind of ringworm is likely tr produce scaly patches on the back and side of the head. On these patches the hair appears dull in color and 1 often broken off near the roots. In fact the hair may fall out entirely In Irregular areas. Treatment I not too satisfactory, u most of the ointment containing chemicals which work on other kinds of fungus infection of the skin are not successful for this. X ray treatment hu been used with some success. Take Precautions The most Important thing to do about ringworm of the scalp 1 to recognize It Infectious nature and to stop it from spreading. The back of seat in movie theatres seem to be responsible for a great many cases. In outbreaks of acalp -ng-worm It hu been luggested that movie house furniture should be dis infected and afterwards the backs protected with paper covers which could be changed fairly frequently. When ringworm of the acalp I really epidemic In a community an attempt should be made to find all 3t the cases by making a sur vey of the school children, and ex amining the pre-school children in families where an older brother or sister 1 found Infected. Children in institution are even more likely to be exposed than children in homes and. therefore, are especially in nee- of examination. Barbers can be of great help by being on the lookout for this condition. The Doctor Answers QUESTION: My neck and shoul dera break out in sores which itch considerably. What could cause this? ' ANSWER: Without knowing more. ft 1 Impossible to even guess at the nature of this difficulty. If in a young person, acne or pimple is a possibility. Why not let your ooc tor look at It?

I SUPPOSE everyone who sit down its typewriter this time of year naturally takea the ear- way out and put down all he can think of that hu to do with Christmas. I Join them. Here I the Christmas wish for today: I wish that the people who go out in the country after their own tree would have rome consideration for the other people in the area. How many time have you seen family car, loaded to the gun wales, cruising along one of the major highways, all eyes peeled for a perfect tree? The family usually finds one right beside the highway, leap out of the car, assail the fragile young thing with an axe, leap into their car again and race home with their prize. It's a pretty tree, but the ragged stump they left along the highway won't cast any shade next summer, nor will it add to the beauty of the way tor future traveler. Then there Is the type who 1 very conscientious about It He get way off the road and looks around for a good little tree. He find it. He cut It down. He start back. And along the way he finds one a little better. So tree num ber one goes Into the snow and What the Frenchman thinks gold Is worth In any currency la Just ! about the system that has been used for centuries to determine what Is known u the value of gold. Gov ernments have been unable to set a price and make everybody con form to their opinion. The U. 8. gov ernment which says gol '. la worth I3i an ounce, has been unable to hold that price line In the small tree gold market around the world. : Nor have sales ot aeml-fabrlcated gold or unrefined gold been held down to that level. All monetary gold is $35. The U. 8. price represent an an chor. Wuhlngton officials from the resident on down have declared re peatedly we won't change the gold price. Those declarations, nowever, am not have the effect on the Parts market that one cock-eyed report had this week. Some two year ago atomic scientists made a small amount of gold by bombarding a form of mercury with neutrons. It wu a costly laboratory experiment carried out In an atomic pile. But after the report reached Paris this week, the price of gold wu Jolted down rgverely. That shows the tender grasp hold. Ing gold. CARNIVAL By Dick Turner Kansas Gets New U.S. Senator TOPEAK.
