COMMENTS OF THE WEEK THE FAIR SHOULD BE A COUNTY-WIDE UNDERTAKING— THE TIME of the Columbia County Fair for this year approaches, dates for the event being August 22, 23 and 24. Two members of one committee in charge of some details for the event were in Vernonia Monday seek ing cooperation in making the fair a success for 1940. The past two years have seen little co- __ operation from the Nehalem Valley is the re port which has been given.

Work of the 4-H clubs will undoubtedly receive much attention and well it should Club members, now in the years of learning, will eventually become some of those people who must decide important questions of gov ernment. Training received now in club work will make better citizens of those who are given the opportunity to learn. The work of the clubs will provide one very worthwhile feature of the fair. TESTS TO DETERMINE TB PRESENCE WORTHWHILE— APPEARING A few days ago was a news report telling the decline in reactions to tuber culosis tests. The account gives figures which prove the value of increasing attempts to prevent the spread of the disease. The story tells us* A nation-wide program of tuberculin testing among American college students shows “marked decrease” in positive re actions during the last eight years, accord ing to figures released Saturday by the Oregon Tuberculosis association. Lewis Mills, president of the anti tuberculosis group, stated that under the program more than 80,000 students have been tested and that statistics compiled by the American Student Health Association indicate a 50 per cent decline in positive reactions at age 18. In tubeiculin testing at the University of Oregon in 1935, Mills said, 43 per cent of students tested had positive reactions. Final figures for 1938 show only 26 per cent, with similar decline in other Oregon schools.
