New Anfi-IB Drugs Needed

a series of articles about you:

Tuberculosis, once called the
White Plague, may be on the
verge of staging a comeback.
The TB germs are becoming
more resistant to our available
medicines and yet some people
;'e;m to be less concerned aboui
In theory, it is possible to
eliminate TB completely. This
could be done by finding ali
those who have the disease and
isolating or curing them so that
the germs wouldn’t spread to
well people. Health workers
are making strenuous efforts
to do just that. But many
cases of TB still go undetected
and some people who know
they have TB don’t complete
their treatment and thus con
tinue to spread germs.

Making it more difficult to
wipe out TB is the fact tha:
TB germs are becoming more
resistant to the drugs com
monly used to treat the disease.
They include Streptomyecin,
Isoniazid and PAS. Health
workers are being urged to
speed up their case-finding ac
tivities so that TB can be
treated while the drugs are
still relatively effective. Mass
screening, either by X-ray or
by a special skin test, is essen
tial to such a program.
Despite the germs’ increas
ing resistance to anti-TB drugs,
they are still effective, though
to a lesser degree than previ
ously. The drugs have helped
bring the TB death rate and
new TB case rate down. In
1941, for instance. 1,385 Geor
gians died fromn TB. Last year,
1960. only 209 Georgians died
of TB. The annual number of
new TB cases dropped a third
during the period. Last year
1,335 new cases were reported.
Six Maj ‘
X Major
Achievements
Lumber Res'rch
New uses of wood, new a n d
improved lumber produects are
in_wide evidence today. In
function and form, they reflect
the growing achievement of
six major research objectives:
1. Reduction or elimination
of maintenance costs. 2. Great
er emphasis on physical ap
peal. 3. Lower installation costs.
4. Maximum strength and per
manence. 5. Minimized decay
and fire hazards. 6. Wider flex
ibility of use.
According to the Southern
Pine Association, some of the
foremost developments are of
test tube origin. For example,
new chemicals which make
wood a permanent material
under conditions of severe wea
ther exposure. Applied to lum
ber by pressure treatment, such
chemicals are toxic to termites,
can be odorless and may im
part distinctive colors. Some
solutions are retardant as well
as preservatives,
Other important “test tube” |
products are the glues of lam
ination and “engineered wood.”
They aren’t the ordinary house
hold glues, but new adhesives
of super -strength, which may
be weatherproof and water
proof. As a fastening device for
lumber, glue is rapidly ap
‘proaching the importance of the
fabulous nail. |
Trussed rafters and other
wood building components may
be glued as well as nailed.
Other glued products of South
ern Pine are making their de
but in home building, often in
multi-purpose form toe provide
structure, insulation and de
coration all in a single pack
age.
The most spectacular use of
new adhesives is in the manu
facture of wood structural sec
tions giving clear spans of
‘several hundred feet and adapt
able to very large buildings.
Tremendous arches and
beams, formed entirely from
one and two inch thick lum
ber, provide both structure and
decoration in thousands of
modern churches and schools.
The natural resistance to fire
of heavy timber construction is
a further advantage.
Science has learned that as
long as lumber is dry, i
permanent. For most uses of
lumber in home building, such
as framing, sheathing, flooring,
paneling and siding, this con
dition is fulfilled by proper
seasoning. The latter is a pro
cess of drying and “pre-shrink
i i bR S G
But although new TB cases
dropped considerably in 1960
as compared with 1941, they
haven’t dropped much in the
past eight years. Instead, the
number of new cases being re
ported has remained about the
same, [
Even so, Georgia has less TB
than half the other states in
the nation. Those with the
highest rates are New Mexico,
‘Arizona, Kentucky, Arkansas
and Maryland. The northwest
‘ern half of the nation has less
TB than any other section.
~ More TB is found in city
residents than among rural
dwellers. The TB rate is three
times as high among Negroes
as among white persons. TB
strikes persons of all ages but
elder people are particularly
susceptible. It is found more
often among people in low in
come groups than among those
with high incomes.
People with TB have been
treated in different ways dur
ing the years. They used to
have to go to sanitariums for
long periods. For many years
'there weren’t enough hospital
beds available for them. As re
cently as 10 years ago Battey
State Hospital had a long wait
ing list, But today it has no
waiting list. Detection of more
TB cases in their early states
—when the disease is easiest to
treat—and use of the new anti-
TB drugs are the main reasons
for this. The patients don™
have to stay in the hospital as
long.
People can help fight TB by
getting an annual chest X-ray
or skin test, by prompt atten
tion to any illness and by sup
porting community efforts to
wine out TB.
Doc MAG says:
1. Get a skin test or X-ray
periodically.
2 Don’t neglect your health.
3. Supvort public health ef
forts to fight TB.

ing” which should be applied’
before lumber is surfaced to
final size. It's now standard |
practice in the manufacture of |
Southern Pine. |
Paint and other forms of fi'n-i
ish last much longer w h e n|
applied to seasoned lumber. |
In uses where severe wea-|
ther exposure is involved or|
where wood is used close to the |
ground, it should have the ad- |
ditional protection of pressure
treatment with chemical pre-|
servatives. |
The stabilizing and strength |
generating factors of the sea
soning process have contributed
to lower installation costs.
Southern Pine is the strongest
of the building woods. More
over, its high natural strength
is virtually doubled by prOper’
seasoning. Thus, the material
has been well adapted to new!
systems of component con
struction whose chief require
ment is superior strength. ]

A Fisherman’s
Christmas
This Christmas, as every on:
since time began being count
ed, little kids all over the
country are hoping and maybe
even praying that Santa will
bring them a fishing rod, one
of their very own, not a “hand-‘
me-down” that Dad is through
with, |
And, with luck, he will.
But before that Christmas
list is mailed, it might be wise
to slow up a bit and consider
the possibilities, the Mercury
outboard fishing authorities
advise, before it's too late.
If that embryo fisherman is
tiny and just beginning ths
sport, start him out slowly,
they advise. See that he ge's
equipment that is adequate,
but not ornate. An American
closed face spinning reel and a
glass rod is ideal, with perhaps
a small fishing box partly fill
ed with bobbers and hooks and
(Larqest Coveraace Any Weekly In The State)
sinkers.
If your fighter is a middle
weight of about 8 to 12 the
chances are he is ready for
more advanced gear; perhaps
something in a good casting
reel and rod would be suitable,
Certainly he would welcome a
new spinning rod and reel, a
happiness-builder for a fisher
man of any age. |
If he’s a light heavy, of nge‘
13-18, the odds are that he is
taking fishing pretty serious
ly, along with a budding in
terest in girls, football, girls,
hunting, girls, bowling, girls
and an occasional game of ta
ble tennis. And even though
his undivided attention may
wander a bit at this age, it
will return, sooner or later. A
gift of fishing gear will please
him just as much as it did
when he was younger.
~ Fishermen are nutty that
way.
l You'll be happier if you are
necessary to somebody.
