S Serious Poultry

Disease May Be Found In State INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., (Special) New , outbreaks of Newcastle disease, the serious chicken ailment which has already appeared in twenty-one states, must be detected promptly if further rapid spread is to be checked, the American Foundation for Animal Health announced here today. r The Foundation urged farmers to be constantly on the alert for signs of nerve disorders in their flocks, such as trembling, throwing the head backward, or pulling . the head down between the legs. Ruffled feathers, difficult breathing, o,r a condition that looks like a "cold" may also be danger signs, the announcement Said. "Because this is a virus disease, and the symptoms may often be obscure, the veterinarian generally has to resort to laboratory tests, with chick embryo isolation of the virus, to be certain whether the condition is caused by Newcastle disease or by some of the other common poultry problems," the Foundation's announcement declared. "Eight states have already banned poultry shows because of Newcastle disease. Canada has placed an embargo on birds from known infected areas. Every poultry raiser must cooperate in promptly reporting suspected cases to a competent veterinarian or livestock sanitary auttior- . ity if we are to check the spread of this serious disease."

Peggy Mood, 419 N. Broad Street, was the recioient of the letter which was written by. one of the Fili pino school teachers., Following is the letter: Dear Peggy, I am so glad to know that the Girl Scouts of America are trying to help Girl Scouts in the Philippines. I noticed that the thing you wrote in the memorandum was dated January 1946, II just received the message last week when 1 I attended the Leaders' Conference in Cabanatuan, the' capital' of Nueva Ecija province. I guess you must not have heard anything about the place, for it is not as big and popular as Manila. I wrote your leader, Mrs. Gladys McCoy, the other day. I also gave your name to one of the Girl Scouts in the troop I am just organizing. She is the daughter of the principal of the agricultural institution known as the Central Luzon Agricultural School. I hope you will like each other. I am a school teacher and I guess Mrs. McCoy must have told you about myself. I like to write to girls like you and so I hope you answer this as Soon as possible. Tell all the girls that our troop here is very thankful to all of you. How about sending the names and addresses of your troop members - so that my Girl Scouts may write to them, too. That is promoting International friendship, isn't it? I am glad I attended the Leaders' Convention last week. We had a nice time really. Tell me some of your activities. .'. Please extend my regards to Mrs. McCoy, your leader. I think I have to close now for I have nothing much to tell you, since I am just -starting to organize the troop. Good luck always and God bless you and the "members of your family. ( A friend, Celestina P. S. This is my address: . (Miss) Celestina P. Tomas, Agricultural Post Office, Nueva Ecija, Philippines.

Postal Clerks Thanked For Seal Sale Aid In Past

Appreciation to postal employees for their assistance in the conduct of the annual Christmas Seal Sale of the Sullivan County (Tuberculosis Association was expressed yesterday by Mrs. Carl j Engle, 1946 Seal Sale chairman, in a letter to Postmaster Otis Hall.; At the same time, Mrs. Engle forwarded to the,v Postmaster, lapel pins in the form of DoubleBarred Crosses, emblem of the tuberculosis association, for distribution to all postal employees. "This is the 40th annual Christ mas Seal Sale in America," said Mrs. Engle. "In all these years, throughout the nation, the mails have played a two-fold role in making a success of this one fund raising drive of the voluntary tuberculosis control associations. "The mails have been used to distribute Seals to local residents and for them to make their returns. They have also been used to remind people far and wide of the message of the Christmas Seal, for the principal use of Seals is on Christmas mail. "In fact, if it had not been for a postal clerk, there might never have been a Christmas Seal Sale to fight tuberculosis. It was a postal employee in Denmark who originated the idea of Christmas Seals back in 1904, an idea which was introduced in this country in 1907. "Since the first Christmas Seal Sale in Sullivan County, thef postal authorities have been' extremely cooperative. Despite the additional burden in distributing Seal Sale letters at a busy season, the entire personnel of the cost office has cheerfully done its part to keep the Seal Sale running smoothly. We art grate ful." :

Local Hospital Gets Latest Improvements

Several new improvements have been added to the facilities of Sullivan county's Mary Sherman Memorial Hospital, it was noted in N a . Times tour of the county medical center today. The latest of the new equipment are two electrically heated food conveyors which carry a total of sixteen loaded trays each in four separately heated compartments. Standing about five feet and measuring approximately six feet from end to end, these conveyors boast separate compartments at the top for cold salads, jello, etc. The hospital accommodation of fifty beds can be served by this new method in one complete trip of both conveyors and the return trip of one of them. Patients at the hospital say they have noticed a great difference in the food now that it can be served oven-hot by Dietician Joy Woolley and her aides. Another improvement that has arrived and will soon be added to the hospital facilities is a resuscitator. This machine, which is used primarily in the delivery room, acts as a resuscitator, inhalator and respirator. Superintendent Cook today voiced her thanks to the Tri Kappa Sorority of this city who are responsible for the purchase of the resuscitator and pronounced it one of the most beneficial machines to be added to the hospital in late years. The resuscitator, Miss Cook said, has been known to be directly responsible for the saving of many infants' lives when they did not breathe properly at first. Acting on a three motion operation, the resuscitator aspirates the mucous from the baby's throat, secondly, gives artificial respiration and, third, gives oxygen for breathing. , The superintendent added that this machine can be used in any case (delivery, surgery, or elsewhere) when artificial respiration is suddenly needed. In both the upper and lower floor medical supply rooms new refrigeration units have replaced the old wooden type ice boxes. This new refrigeration preserves biological medicines, penicillin,

IRK IS STARTED U. S. ON ADDITION TO Case RAPTRT CHURCH -

"

The Rev. Wyman Hull, pastor of the Sullivan First Baptist Church, today announced that work has been started on a new addition of class rooms to be made above the men's class room in the church. When finished, this addition will complete the plans which were formulated and carried on when the men's room was dedicated in 1935. Due to the overcrowded condition of the Sunday School classes, the extra rooms were authorized and a building committee was appointed in August to take charge of the con struction. It is planned to have the project completed in -the near future and a roof should be finished by Christmas, the. Baptist minister said. The proposed addition will be 20 x 60 feet and will house two departments of the .Sunday School. This will enable those classes, heretofore forced to be held outside the church, to be brought in with the rest of the classes. One of the classes has been held for some time in the parsonage. During August the Sunday School enrollment was hitting the high peak of 370 members. The building committee is com posed of: I Wendell Cox, chairman; Mrs. Walter Wood, Jake Pirtle, Ralph Monroe, Mrs. Vermont McCoskey, Lee Simmers, Allen Letterman and Miss Effie Douthitt. The I Building and Construction eomI mittee members are: Miss Effie Douthitt, chairman of the planning comittee; Mrs. Vermont McCoskey, chairman of the fund committee; and Lee Simmers, chairman of the time, cost and accounting committee. It is hoped that this building will provide the proper impetus fr the promotion of a new church front and enlarged Church jslnctuary. - - - . fruit juices, etc., that are stored therein, as well as having no moistening effect on their packagings as did the old wooden type. Also in these supply rooms, modern stainless steel crushed ice cabinets with, easily opened swing-out doors have replaced the equally obsolete wooden crushed . ice cabinets. Work was seen to be underway to redecorate the hospital room whose upkeep for several years has been assumed by the Delta Theta Tau Sorority. A new asphalt inlaid floor covering destined to make the room more beautiful than ever will soon be laid. Other improvements are also being rdade by the Psi Iota Xi and the Tri Kappa sororities to their rooms, Miss Cook reported. She revealed information of other life-saving machinery needed to make the Mary Sherman one. of the most modern medical Institutions of the day, as well as the desire to light each room with- individual bedside table lamps of uniform design.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (UP) The government to day worked feverishly on legal action to punish John L. Lewis for failure to prevent the walkout of 400,000 soft coal miners. Federal lawyers planned to present to Judge T. Alan Goldsborough a formal request that the United Mine Workers' (AFL) president be held in contempt for defying the jurist's injunction against the walkout.

STIES

t-.f, w-. mvm

The court, after hearing the government's suggestion, will decide whether contempt procedure against Lewis shall be civil or criminal. Probabilities favored civil procedures in which a judge has tinlimited power to impose sentence and fines for contempt. The soft coal shutdown on the eve of winter was nearly 100 per cent complete. And it was aggravated by mass sympathy walkouts in the hard coal fields. About 10,000 anthracite miners, not directly involved in the dispute between Lewis and the government, quit work , Lewis remained in seclusion at his three-story colonial' home in Alexandria, Va., and in Key West, Florida President Truman, director of the government's forces went riding aboard a captured German U-boat. The government planned to ask the court to order Lewis to show cause why he should not be held in -contempt. '. ' ; . There is no limitation upon

punishment, that xnayebe impos- . ed for civil contempt. TTiqj pen alty for criminal contqriftt is limited by law to a' fine of y)0Q or six months in jail or boil). TERRE HAUTE, Nov. 21 (UP) The strike of John L. Lewis' soft coal miners is "practically 100 percent effective in Indiana," Managing Director C. C. Lydick of the Coal Trade Association said today. Lydick said there were no major mines in operation in Indiana this morning. He estimated that all but a few inojs who" are employed by small, independent, low-production mines were idle. The Solid Luels Administration estimated the number of JVFL mine workers in the state at 8,500. PITTSBURGH, Nov. 21 (UP) The United Mine Workers 400,000 soft coal miners backed up John L. Lewis in his showdown fight with the government today and quit work in defiance of the coal administration order to stay on the job. Bituminous production was limited to a trickle from nonunion pits, independently organized mines and stripping operations. Output was off 2,000,000 tons per day. Anthracite mine workers who are not directly involved in the government dispute served notice that punitive action against Lewis would probably idle the 6,000 workers of the hard coaL mines. . The strike was the second within nine months and caught the nation with a stockpile of only 67,000,000 tons- in the faee of approaching winter. The soft coal fields scattered through 26 states were quiet. There was no picketing. Once again the walkout was the result of the UMW's rule of "no contract no work."
