Sky Visitors Provide Much
To See On Summer Evenings
Summer skies in this part of
Texas are not only giving the
population an awe - inspiring
sight of millions of stars and
planets with an especially ac-
tive display by shooting stars
and meteorites.
The air traffic is getting heav-
ier by nighttime. In addition to

Tuberculosis Has
No Half Cure Or
Short-Cut Route
This column is prepared in the
interest of better health, by the
Nolan County Tuberculosis As-
sociation).
Tuberculosis is a serious,
chronic disease which demands
complete rest and good hospital
care—usually many months of
it—before victory over the dis-
ease is achieved.
There is no "half cure" or even
a "three-quarter cure" of tuber-
culosis. A patient's disease is
either fully arrested, or he still
ill with tuberculosis.
When a patient leaves the tub-
erculosis hospital with a medical
discharge, it means that the doc-
tor knows it is safe for the pa-
tient to leave and it is also safe
for others to live and associate
With him.
But there are some people who
become impatient and leave the
tuberculosis hospital before they
are completely cured. The pa-
tient who interrupts his treat-
ment in this way does himself
serious harm. By leaving the hos-
pital too soon, a patient can ag-
gravate his illness and usually
returns later to the hospital with
more serious disease than the
first time.
A tuberculous patient may give
any number of excuses for leav-
ing before the doctor says it is
safe for him to do so. He may
give reasons of restlessness,, dis-
couragement over his illness,
ionesomeness or concern for his
family, or a combination of
of some of these.
The patient can and should
talk over his misgivings and
fears with the doctor who can
give him sound guidance and
help him secure the mental relax-
ation necessary to his cure. In
addition, where unrest is due to
worry oyer the family, there may
be specially trained persons at
the hospital who are qualified
to give the patient assistance
and guidance tto put his mind at
ease.
The suberculosis patient who
sticks with his treatment and
stays in the hospital fobr as long
as the doctor says Is necessary
can become a useful, active mem-
ber of thf: community once again
after his medical discharge.
We have all heard that "some
things can't be hurried." The
cure of tuberculosis is one of
those things. Time and patience
are necessary part of the treat-
ment.

Public Cooperation
Urged In Sanitation
Program For State
AUSTIN—The Texas State De-
partment of Health cannot main-
tain daily inspection of all eat-
ing places and the public is urg-
ed by Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer to insist on the
proper sanitation of the estab-
lishment where they eat. If the
public is careless in this respect
the incentive to maintain clean
food service will be lessened and
operators will only maintain the
level the public is willing to ac-
cept. He urged that the public
patronize "eating establishments
which measure up to a high
standard of cleanliness."
The State Health Department
is making every effort to im-
prove sanitation of eating places,
Dr. Cox said, and there is "no
excuse for cafe owners not tak-
ing advantage of the food hand-
lers schools are being offered
all over the state." He added
that there are laws, rules and
regulations which require the
use of approved equipment and
methods in such establishments.
"The public should be aware
are these sanitary rules and
reeulations and insist that res-
taurants observe them. Patrons
should realize that tables and
counters will be many times
cleaner than the kitchen and
other places out of sight," he
warned.
He urged milk appraisal by
the patrons also. Texas law re-
quires that a milk bottle cap
state the grade of milk, and
whether it is raw or pasteurized.
"Insist on having the milk serv-
ed in its original container, with
a covered cap and a legal label,"
Dr. Cox advised.
"Obviously," he said, "the
best in sanitation can be had
only by close co-operation be-
tween the public and the investi-
gators of the State Health De-
partment.

Trade Curbs On
Soviet Bloc Now
Begin To Pinch
WASHINGTON (UP) — U. S.
trade restrictions against the So-
viet bloc are beginning to hurt
the Kremlin.
American officials are delight-
ed — and are expected to keep
on tightening the economic
screws.
"So Russia needs more trade
to earn more dollars?" asked
one official. "Well, they can get
dollars by admitting American
tourists. That's the way West-
ern Europe gets a lot of its dol-
lars."
The first Soviet squeal over
the trade issue came from Rus-
sian president Nikolai M. Shver-
nik in his "friendship" letter to
President Truman on Monday.
Shvernik said one way to help
end the cold war would be for
the United States to stop "dis-
criminations" against the Krem-
lin. Russia listed trade restric-
tions as the chief U. S. "discrim-
ination."
. This cheered most Washing-
ton officials more than anything
else in Moscow's message. It
showed for the first time that
Russia really was feeling the
trade restrictions that have cut
its dollar-earning ability and de-
nied the Reds certain strategic
materials.
"The discriminatory meas-
ures," Russia complained, "have
led to the result that the ex-
change of goods between the
USSR and the USA over the five
years beginning with 1946 has
dropped more than six times
and has reached an almost non-
pxistent IpvgI."
The Russian complaint against
trade restrictions was expected
to get a brush-off from the Uni-
ted States until world tensions
relax. The official American pos-
ition is likely to be that the cut
in Soviet - American trade was
Russia's own fault.
