FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE FAIRS in 1939 In less than a year and a hah from now two great fairs wall throw •:pen their gates for people to come in and see the wonders of the world all assembled in ( one place. One fair will fce on the Atlantic coast, in New York; the other on the Parific at San Francisco. The New York World’s Fair expects to have a hun dred million visitors; San Francisco hopes for half as many. One thing is certain; 1939 will be the greatest year for travel the country has ever known. The New York World’s Fair will be the greatest international ex hibition ever held. All the nations of the world will have their own buildings on the Fair grounds, where they will show the products of their countries, in the most at tractive setting they can devise. Many nations have agreed uo spend mere than a million dollars on their exhibits. Every State in the Union will have its own pavilion to show the rest of the country what it makes or grows, and the Federal Government will depict its national activities in a $2,500,000 exhibit. It would take a lifetime of travel to see as much of the world and its people as anyone can see in a couple of weeks at the World's Fair. * * * EDUCATION . doesn’t hurt A great Fair is, perhaps, the greatest of all educational institu tions. The education is easy to take, because it is mingled with enter tainment. I have been going to World’s Fairs all my life, and I can attribute a large part of my educa tion to things I saw at the big shows, fjrom the Philadelphia Cen tennial of 1876 on. As a small boy, I got my first understanding of me chanical power by watching the Treat Corliss engine :n Machinery Hall. The huge statue sculptured out of butter indelibly impressed excuse for being held at a certain place at a given time, usually tc celebrate an anniversary of sdm important event. Philadelphia cele brated the 190th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and 50 years later its Sesqui-Centennial. Chicago’s Fair of 10^3 was the ICCth anniversary of the dijeovery of America, commemorated a y~a -ate-. St. Louis was also a year late in celebrating the 100th anniver sary cf the Louisiana Purchase. The occasion for the New York World’s Fair in 1939 is the 159th anniversary of the beginning of our American Republic. On April 39, 1789, George Washington stood on the balcony of Federal Hall, at Wall and Broad streets in New York city, and took the oath of office as the first President of the United States of America under the new Consti tution of the United States. That is what New York will celebrate with its World’s Fair in 1939. It is something to celebrate. It was the world’s first experiment in government of the people, by the people, for the people. Everybody in the world said it couldn’t last. Well, it has outlasted every form of gov ernment that existed in 1789. The United States is now the oldest na tion in the world, as well as the happiest and most prosperous. To me it seems like a successful ex periment.

New York World’s Fair is going up on what was a combination of mosquito-breeding swamp and ash- dump, between the suburbs cf Co- rono and Flushing on Long Island close to the geographical center of the great city which covers five counties. The city bought the land for a future park and leased it to the World’s Fair management, which has spent millions of dollars and an incredible amount of labor in filling the swamp, removing the ashheaps and deepening and straightening the lakes and water courses. After the Fair the city will have a huge waterfront park to play in. San Francisco’s Fair of 1939 will be on a brand-new island in beau tiful San Francisco Bay. “Treasure Island” has been dredged up from the bottom of the bay over a rocky shoal which used to be a danger to ships.

Because after all the stuffing county will have left a beautiful i m cans almost as much as the bird BY Da. J. ROSSLYN EARP Medical Editor, Division of Health Education, New York State Department of Health EARLY TUBERCULOSES “Early tuberculosis is net characterized by any special signs or symptoms.” This sentence comes from a talkie to the 4,590 delegates that attended the recent convention cf the American Public Health: Association. It must have given a shock to many others beside myself. Some of us have been describing the early signs and symptoms of tuberculosis for the last twenty years: fatigue in the afternoon, cough, loss cf weight, blood-spitting, indigestion. ... We were not mistaken. These are symptoms of tuberculosis. But what we called “early” a few years ago is not early any more. The use of X-rays has made possible- the discovery of tuberculosis disease before any symptoms develop. How many thousands of patients with chronic tuberculosis must wish that someone had used X-rays to discover their disease before’ signs and symptoms developed! If that had been done they might now be healed and enjoying health as only those can that have lost it and found :.t again. Why is not everyone’s chest X-rayed so that all tuberculosis may be discovered in the earliest curable stage? Well, because those that could easily afford this safeguard do not appreciate its importance and be cause very many of us cannot afford it. Alert health departments make their appropriations go as far as possible. Since they know that each; case of tuberculosis ccmes from another case (or cases) they look for early disease first among “contacts” of known cases. Since disease can only develop after infection, they use the more expensive X-ray only on those that are positive to the cheaper tuberculin skin test. Even so, health departments can not do much until they have more public health nurses to visit the contacts, who must be shown the value of these tests; more money to pay for testing those that cannot afford to pay the doctor. ing is good with most all kinds of fowl, certain varieties are especial ly suited to duck and goose. For ex ample, onion stuffing with a potato foundation is a favorite for goose but too savory for the more deli cately flavored meat of chicken and turkey. Piquant fruit stuffings are delicious for duck but not suitable for chicken and turkey. Bread stuffing forms the basis for any number of other good fill ings. By the addition of oysters, sausage, celery, chestnuts, onions, mushrooms and apples and prunes you can change the plain stuffing to suit your needs. When it comes to seasoning you must remember likes and dislikes. Onions may ruin the stuffing for 1 some but sage may spoil it for ethers. A mixture of swreet herbs used sagaciously makes for savori ness without imparting a pro nounced flavor that will overpower the meat. As to quantity—it will take at least a loaf of bread for a medium sized fowl and up to two loaves for an eight pound turkey. Order the bread a day or two before you plan to use it because you can’t make a light, fluffy stuffing with fresh bread. * * * Plain Bread Stuffing One loaf stale bread, 1 teaspoon salt, Vi teaspoon white pepper, 3-4 cup melted butter, 2 eggs, hot water or hot milk. The eggs can be omitted but if the stuffing will be served cold as v/ell as hot, you will find the eggs an improvement. Crumb bread coarsely, discarding crust. Sprinkle with salt and pep per. Add melted butter, tossing crumbs lightly with a fork to mix thoroughly. Thorough mixing at ih s point insures a light fluffy dressing. Add eggs well beaten and nix lirrkily with fork. Add not n"re t.'mn ono-half cup boilin’- water or hot milk and mix lightly Cover and let stand ten minutes. The dressing should be as moist as wanted for serving, so if it isn’t as moist as you like it, add a few more tablespoonfuls of hot liquid. Fill cavity of bird with stuffing and sew up the opening with a large darning needle threaded with a strong soft cord. Be careful not to pack the stuffing to firmly n any bird because it wall expand during the roasting process. To make celery stuffing add one and one-half cups minced celery. The leaves may be used too. * * * For sausage stuffing omit butter and add one-half pound sausage meat cooked to a crisp brown af ter removing from cases. * * * Oyster stuffing uses one pint oysters with oyster liquor for liquid and nutmeg, lemon juice and pars ley for seasoning. Add one cup chopped and sauted mushrooms to make mushroom stuffing. training and practice in handling, and using fire tools and various methods of actual suppression work.

E. Baker, chief of the Bureau of Ag ricultural Economics, U. S. Depart ment cf Agriculture, speaking at Clemson Thursday, December 2. Dr. Belem* war, in the state for a series of discussions with Extension Ser vice specialists on rural problems. The increasing drain on the hu man and economic resources of rural life in support of urban life. Dr. Baker pointed out, is making more and more serious the prob lems of agriculture and rural life. “To rescue for human society the native values of rural life”. Dr. Baker said, “is the key need. Hence the importance of restoring in the hearts of the farming people con fidence In themselves and in their occupation, both as a way of life and as a means of living.” Regarding the needs of' that “other half of the farming people’” with desperately low income, Dr.. Baker made these important sug~ gestions: 1. A decrease in their cash ex^- penditures is as important as an increase in their cash income— IL s is a greater degree of self— j_i fficient farming. An increase in income through !' ne industries to supplement in- c me from commercial crops. A return’ to the practice of c d-fashioned industry, thrift, and frugality with less effort at “keep ing up with the Joneses”..
