Thirty years ago tuberculosis
was the first cause of human
death. Today, in the United
States, it ranks eighth. The last
decade alone has seen a decline of
37 per cent in the mortality rate
of this once most dreaded disease
of all mankind. Thousands of
men, women, and children are
brimming with life, who would
otherwise be but tear-choked
memories. You or I might be a-
mong those thousands. The arm
of tuberculosis prevention, as well
as cure, is long.
Doctor R. H. Sundberg, in his
annual report as President of the
California Tuberculosis Association,
pointed out that while spectacular
gains have been made against
tuberculosis, it would be extremely
unwise to take victory for granted.
He observed that: “Tuberculosis
is still one of the major causes of
death, especially in the younger
age groups .... the incidence of
the disease might easily increase
again. In the present world
crisis, for example, one may
properly be concerned over the
possible effect of post-war condi
tions .... This means continued
segregation of infectious cases,
earlier diagnosis, particularly
through mass surveys and follow
up of contacts, and more adequate
treatment of discovered cases be
fore clinical activity develops.”
The successful battle being car
ried on against tuberculosis should
demonstrate conclusively to the
average layman the ability of the
American medical profession, and
the responsive willingness with
which that profession applies its
ability, regardless of class, color,
creed or financial position. Tuber
culosis is no respecter of social
and economic barriers. It strikes
all. To fight it successfully has
meant a campaign in every comer
of the land and in every so-called
social stratum. Medical men, in
tuberculosis as in other afflictions,
carry on with little thought of
personal gain, but with a flaming
hope of promoting mankind one
step nearer to a better civilization.

PROPERTY jolts
It looks as though we are soon
going to see the anomaly of a pe
riod of prosperity and a period of
depression taking place at the
same time and even in the same
communities.
Our old economic practices are
in for a series bi severe jolts, our
business “cycles” are expected to
revolve in all directions and even
that law of supply and demand,
upon which business has always
functioned, is apt to be twisted
into unrecognizable form.
It’s going to be a period when
people who have money to buy
goods may not be able to buy the
things they want most, when
stores which could do a landoffice
business have to turn customers
down and when non-defense
workers are losing their jobs while
defense workers are getting paid
premium wages.
Total income and purchasing
power may break records in 1941,
but there will be new groups of
unemployed, many non-essential
industries will be hard hit and the
government will be issuing count
less rules and orders to try to keep
the situation from getting out of
hand.
SCARCITY bonds
There seems to be something
almost sacrilegious about “repeal
ing” the law of supply and demand
even during such an emergency as
this.
Under that economic law, any
product which became scarce
would automatically soar upward
in price. If 5,000,000 people want
ed to buy automobiles and only 3,-
000,000 new cars were available, the
operation of the law of supply and
demand would be similar to an
auction—the automobile dealer
would in effect, sell the cars to the
3,000,000 highest bidders.
But because the government is
forcing the automobile manufac
turers to create a possible scarcity
by requiring them to prodace mil
lions of dollars worth of defense
equipment, it feels that it must
protect the consumer’s interests by
preventing the high price increases
which scarcity would naturally
cause.
To prevent prices from skyrock
eting is the job of the Office of
Price Administration and Civilian
Supply, which, to my mind, has one
of the hardest tasks of all the de
fense organizations. It is faced
with keeping prices down when it
is natural for them to go up.
More and more, as that office,
known as the OPACS, faces its
problems, it comes to one out
standing solution, namely: most
price problems would melt away if
all people who are earning more
money would put those extra dol
lars in defense bonds.
ALUMINUM .... unemployment
During the week of aluminum
showers, when most of us contrib
uted old pots and pans to help re
lieve the aluminum shortage, a lot
of housewives must have pondered
over the fate of the door-to-door
aluminum salesman who sold
them much of that equipment.
The answer is obvious—he is
out of a job, along with a good
portion of the factory employee?
in the aluminum cooking. utensil
industry.
The aluminum scarcity has been
so dramatized that we are all
conscious of it, but there are
hundreds of other businesses
which are faced with similar
problems.
There will be many business
heart-breaks. There will be many
small companies forced out of
business because supplies are not
available to them. But if a
choice must be made between
freedom and hardship, most
American business men will be
willing to take hardship and like
it.
PATRIOTISM buying
Many consumers are asking
what they should do, from the
patriotic standpoint, about buying
products which they want but
which they could get along with
out. Is it against the best interests
of their country for them to buy
an automobile or a refrigerator?
Should they cut down their stand
ard of living? Should they stock
up on necessities to put away for
a rainy day?
One of the best answers to these
questions was made recently by
Miss Harriett Elliott, associate
administrator of the OPACS,
who said:
“If you really need, and had in
tended to buy a car, or a refrig
erator or a new washing machine,
then go ahead and get it by all
means. If you had no such plans,
then don’t make any. Put your
money into defense bonds. They
are a much more patriotic invest
ment and you will be saving useful
materials for defense. There may
be days ahead when the cash will
make you a good deal happier and
a good deal more secure than a
worn-out washing machine. There
may be days ahead when the bar
gains are a good deal better than
they are today. Above all, there
is no need for anyone of us to buy
durable consumers’ goods at this
time with the idea that we are
getting in ahead of somebody else.”
In other words, the decision is
left pretty much up to you. You
won’t get a patriotic black mark
if you buy that new car, but you
will get a plus for your patriotism
if you let the old car do and buy
defense bonds instead.
