Clinton Machine Shop employees recently invented an electric device which they call an "Auto maue aaie size L.evei signal. Variable speeds of slashers are automatically controlled by a nationally manufactured instrument. Slasher speed is determined by the desired percentage of moisture regain in the warps. When the size level reaches a point where there is danger of making soft warps, with resulting waste, low production and poor quality. this device automatically and simultaneously reduces the slasher to "slow" speed and lights a red warning indicator light; both of which immediately indicate to the slasher tenders the necessity of additional size supply to the slasher size box. *? & Ctt 'y?cuteCi We pride ourselves on the fine reputation this organization enjoys among the textile trade.

A harmless looking, shiny three-leaf plant that grows in wooded areas, vacant lots, almost everywhere; sometimes shrub-like and sometimes like a vine. There is no absolute immunity to it. medicos say . . . (The 5leaf ivy, more common, is harmless.) ... If you get a touch of poison ivy, the skin reddens, roughens, and little water blisters form. Your contamination can spread to another person. As soon as possible after exposure, a A 1 .1- 1 ? - - ' morougn wasning wnn soap and water is best preventive. After that, bathe or soak the area in a weak solution of potassium permanganate* The important thing is to use soap and water just as soon as possible. to remove the irritating oil of the plant. (*One tablet to two quarts of water. Remove tablets from bottle with tweezers, not fingers, as they can give you a bad burn.) Poison Sumac?Has sprays of greenish white berries; grow usually in swampy places that you can stay away from. Just as tough as poison ivy. Apply same treatment after contamination. Bees and Wasps?If you get stung and stinger remains in the skin, gently rub it away, and apply calamine lotion or one of the antihistamanic salves; lacking them, a drop or two of household ammonia. If this can't be done immediately and swelling develops, ice cold compresses will help. SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT A newspaper reporter was interviewing a man who had just completed a magnificent building in a large city. "I understand. sir, that you began life as a poor bricklayer. What was your first step forward?" The great contractor looked at the reporter keenly for a moment, then answered: "I became a GOOD bricklayer." JBLE FOCUS 1 ^ 1 * h for TB." Tuberculosis used to be considered primarily a disease of the young, especially young women. Today, about 31 per cent of new cases of TB are among people between the ages of 45 and 64, and 14 per cent are over 65. More than half of those who die from TR are over 55. Men with TB outnumber women two to one. We can't say exactly why this is so. Of course, a man over 45 has had during his lifetime plenty of opportunities to become infected with TR germs, certainly more opportunities than the average teen-age girl, and probably more than his wife. Rut infection need not mean disease. 2J .1 SON of 902 Sloan St.. Clinton Mi] boy twins ten years of age. Marion twins are the only children in the lis Spooler Room.

You thought TB was a disease of young people? So did a lot of older people now in tuberculosis hospitals. Maybe that's why they are sick. Maybe they thought they didn't have to take precautions against TB because they were "too old 7 4 _ i 1 ,w. * it A 1 i * 1 ' * ft ils are the proud parents of two Ray and Miriam Kay, the younger family.

What is the matter with those who do break down? Tuberculosis is a preventable disease. And it is a curable disease, if found and treated early. Prevention of TB means keeping in the best of health. A new case of TB can usually be traced to a decline in general health. Resistance can t>e weakened by another illness, by poor nutrition, poor health habits, or by severe emotional strain. The possibility of a successful cure may be weakened by late discovery of the disease. The man who puts off his regular physical check - up. who can't "spare the time" for a chest X-ray, who shrugs off symptoms of illness as unimpor tant, is cutting down his chances for full recovery from TB. Tuberculosis doesn't care now oia wc are. we re never too old to take care of our health, and to cooperate with efforts in our community to protect us from tuberculosis.
