of Hoosierland’s young men were answering the call to arms when that cold December blew into the state 41 years ago. According to records kept by Lawrence Schall, state climatologist at Purdue University, -subzero temperatures occurred from the 9th to the 17th of that month. The mercury dropped on the 11th to 24 below zero at Shelbyville, 23 below st Paoli, Salem and Cambridge City, and 22 below at Collegeville, Howe and Scottsburg.

Snowfall for that memorable month averaged 12 inches in the northern part of the state, 10 inches in central areas and 18 inches in the south. Ice closed the Ohio River to navigation at Vevay on the Bth and Hoosiers walked across the normally ice-tree stream on the 16th.

Continuing Fight On Tuberculosis In World

By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI)The tremendous changes the 54-year-old anti-tuberculosis crusade has brought about include even our manners. Anyone who now coughs in public without covering his mouth with a handkerchief or at least with his hand, definitely is illmannered. Spitting has been made so vulgar that even the word offends some ears. More and more mouth-kissing is confined to losers and spouses because of a prejudice implanted by the early crusaders. It used to be everyone mouth-kissed parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and< even good friends. Now it is the cheek which it is polite to kiss and anyone who kisses a child on the mouth runs the risk of get-, ting slugged by an indignant mother. i It was drilled into our grandparents or parents that tuberculosis is a communicable disease which is communicated by intimate contacts between people and by the sputum of the TB victim. This knowledge was taken very seriously 50 years ago when tuberculosis was feared like the plague and was, indeed, “the white plague.” < Sanitation A Gospell Sanitation was a gospel for the anti-tuberculosis crusaders and the good their preachings brought about, in cutting down the TB rate and also that of other communicable diseases, is incalculable. But their principal weapons were to find the persons who harbored active tubercle bacilli, isolate them, treat them in special, hospitals or sanatoriums, and to, improve general living conditions since tuberculosis was known to thrive among the undernourished who are crowded together in filth. There was no specific treatment, really. What was done, in the main, was to build up the bodydefenses against the bacilli (whatever the defenses are) and give them the best possible chance to win out. This was done by keeping patients in beds for months at a time while fattening them with body-building foods Surgical techniques, such as lung collapse and removal of diseased parts of the lungs, came later. , “Pure Air” Cure I It worked, although why ’ it■ worked was not apparent for some time. For a while “pure air” and dry air or cold air were thought io be curative, and Sana-, toriums were located in mountains or deserts. Patients were forced to stay in beds on open, I snowy, wind-swept porches, swathed in blankets and furs. Sanatoriums were being built at a tremendous rate. In 1900 there | were less than 10,000 beds for the tuberculous; by 1953, which was • <i ’i ' JlWf FIRST TASTE— Freddie Braswell, 3, sticks out his tongue to catch snowflakes in Winston-Salem, N. C., where a three-inch fall gives him his first taste of the stuff that winters are made of. I

the crest year, there were 108,000 beds, 93 per cent of them in sanatoriums. In 1900 there was one bed for every 18 tuberculosis deaths that year. In 1953 there were five beds for each tuberculosis death. Slowly it was understood that bed rest arrested tuberculosis in most cases, and it didn’t matter where the bed was as long as the patient was confined to it. By the time die first “wonder drug” capable of killing tubercle bacilli came into wide use in 1947, both the death rate and the “new cases” rate were well below what they had been in 1900. , The drugs have accelerated the pace but they have brought new and difficult problems with them. One is that the public has more confidence in them than the tuberculosis physicians who use them. « Federal, state and local governments in the U.S. spent money in 1957 at the rate of 8730 per American. The longest losing streak in collegiate football was recorded by St. Paul Poly of Lawrenceville, Va., when its team lost 41 > straight games from 1940 to 1953. .

School Integration Big Story Os Year Editors Select Top Stories During 1958 NEW YORK (UPI) — The continuing struggle over the racial Integration of schools was chosen by editors of United Press International today as the biggest news story of 1958. They noted that the battle was waged all the way from the Supreme Court of the United States to remote hamlets in the South. Integration confronted the American people with cne of the most acute sociological problems since the days of reconstruction. The other nine top stories picked by the editors: 2. American and Russian probes into outer space, bringing within the range of possibility interplanetary travel by human beings. 3. The Democratic victory at the November polls, giving the party the biggest congressional majority since the high tide of the New Deal. 4. Anglo - American intervention in Lebanon and Jordan. 5. The resignation of Sherman Adams and the indictment of Bernard Goldfine on charges of contempt of Congress. 6. The death of Pope Pius XII and the election of John XXIII. 7. The economic upturn in the United States. 8. The Red government's con-

solidation of its rule over the Chinese mainland, and the bombardment of Quemoy. It was a year in which Peiping appeared to have won equal status with Moscow in directing the strategy of world Communism. 9. The Chicago school fire. 10. The stabbing of Johnny Stompanato by Lana Turner’s daughter. Other stories that won prominent mention: The Berlin crisis; the cruise of the Nautilus under the North Pole; DeGaulle’s rise to power; the railroad disaster at Newark Bay, N. J.; Pasternak rejects the Nobel Prize; Alaska wins statehood; the Springhill, N. S. mine disaster; plane collision over Nevada kills 49; death of Mike Todd in an airplane crash. New Tax On Gaming, Amusement Devices New Law Effective On First Os Year A new law which levies an annual tax of 810 on each amusement device and 8250 on each gaming device, regardless of how they are operated, will become effective January 1, 1959. Sterling M. Dietrich, district director of internal revenue, said the old law which ends December 31, 1958, imposes these taxes only on devices operated by insertion of a coin, token, or similar object.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1958

The new law is one of the provisions of the excise tax technical changes act of 1958, (public law 85-859). Dietrich said any so-called ‘slot machine" will be taxed at the rate of 8250 per year for each machine which may deliver, or entitle the person playing, or operating the machine to receive through chance cash, premiums, merchandise, or tokens. Since the tax ye a r runs from July 1 to the following June 30 and the new law is effective January 1 1959, the new tax Arill be prorated, Dietrich said. Thus, he said, anyone maintaining a gaming machine taxable for the first time on January 1, 1959, must pay 8125 tax by January 31, 1959. If he maintains an amusement device which becomes taxable on January 1, 1959, he must pay a tax of 85 by January 31, 1959. Dietrich said amusement and gaming devises for which taxpayers have already paid the 810 or the 8250 tax for the fiscal year 1959 are not affected by the new lawHe also said the new law provides that the 10 per cent tax on wagers does not apply to amounts paid to operate any amusement or gaming device on which an occupational tax is imposed. However, no refund is allowed on the 850 oe- : cupational tax on wagers paid for ' the sis ca 1 year ending June 30, 1 1959. Dietrich advised taxpayers who 1 need forms, further information, ' or assistance in preparing returns to contact his office at Fort 1 Wayne, Ind.
