Health Examinations
Vital to Everyone
"Health examinations won't pre-
vent old age, but many tens of
thousands of persons, whose re-
cords of these examinations have
been studied, have not only been
helped to live longer, but also be
sturdier and healthier, and enjoy
more comfort and happiness by
following the advice of the physi-
cans who have made such exami-
nations," declared Dr, George W.
Cox, state health officer.
Once the individual leaves school
he assumes the responsibility not
only for his choice of work and

The Styleline De Luxe four-door sedan is one of
14 models introduced by Chevrolet as its passenger
car line for 1951. Notable in this picture are the
design improvements which accentuate a longer,
lower appearance. Radiator grilles have been simpli-
fied, the decorative body moulding lowered and
rear fender crowns raised. Models also offer added
safety.
method of living, but also for his
continued good health. But he of-
ten fails to apply the available
methods of preventing disease and
prolonging life. Hardly a day
passes in which our attention is
not called to the untimely death
of some prominent person or ac-
quaintance, which may be attribut-
ed to a preventable disease. So
something should be done in the
way of educating the adult group
of the population, so they will
voluntarily carry out those mea-
sures which prolong life and main-
tain good health.
It is our firm belief that if the
diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract, which includes the lips,
tongue, teeth, mouth stomach and
bowels are recognized in their
early stage their progress may be
curtailed, adequate treatment ad-
vised, and many deaths might be
prevented.
Today the medical profession
realizes that many childhood dis-
eases are now under control and
that our present problem must
center about the adult, encourag-
ing periodic check-ups. Is semi-
annual consultation with your
physican too great a premium to
pay for many years of additional
life, freedom from suffering and
consequently short periods of hos-
pitalization ?
Plant pines and let the abandoned,
eroding fields have a chance to
produce income.
There's plenty of land for farm,
pasture, and forests. Put every
acre to its most profitable use,
make it yield its maximum crop.

Better Death Than Slavery—
The people in different coun
tries of the world the last three
decades have been called upon to
either submit to a totalitarian rule
—a rule by dictators—or subject
themselves to slavery. Thousands
of people—even millions of people
—are in their graves today be-
cause they adopted the policy,
"Better death than slavery". The
efforts of these people who made

Danger of Plre Is
Greatly Enhanced
By Christmas Tree
THE AVERAGE CHRISTMAS tree
can go up In smoke In only two
minutes. That doesn't leave much
time for the fire department to get
there.
A live tree with roots packed in
a bucket of earth is the safest. Bo
sure and keep the dirt moistened. A
small tree is safer than a large one
and festive trimmings can make up
what it lacks In size.
Keep the tree outdoors until you
are ready to set It up inside. When
you bring It In, keep it In the coolest
part of the house with the radiator
nearest It turned off.
Use noninflammable aluminum
foil—not cotton or paper—to conceal
container in which tree Is "planted."
Use noninflammable trimmings on
the tree.
Don't use lighted candles. (This
may seem an unnecessary precau-
tion In this day of electric lights,
but lighted candles contribute to
tragic fires every year.)
Check the wiring for the tree to
see that it's not frayed and Is In
perfect condition. The switch for
turning off and on electric lights
should be at some distance from
the tree. Don't plug or unplug lights
beneath the tree.
Don't leave tree lights on when
It isn't necessary and especially
when the family is away from home.
From time to time, check over the
tree and see if needles near the
lights are turning brown. If they
have, move the lights.
Watch the calendar. New Year's
is the day for the tree to go down.
If you should extend the time, don't
leave the lights on the tree for more
than a half hour at a time.
the supreme sacrifice will not
help them, but it will help others
because they were exactly right.
The Communists with headquar-
ters in Moscow, have as their num-
ber one goal conquering the world
for Communism. All of us had
just as well realize, as most people
have realized for the past few
years, that we are now engaged
in a mortal conflict with the fana-
tical Communists.
Korea—
Hindsight is always good. We
are never sure about foresight. It
is easy for a person to criticize.
Unfortunately, we have in this
country some broadcasters and
writers who are just as helpful
to our enemies as Axis Sally and
Tokoyo Rose were helpful to our
enemies in World War II.
The time has come when all
Americans must put their shoul-
ders to the wheel in a cooperative,
coordinating way to present the
maximum power and military
strength against our known ene-
mies. Although we have been in
situations probably just as diffi-
cult as the situation now confront-
ing us with Red Russia and Red
China and we have gotten out of
them without great loss, neverthe-
less the present situation repre-
sents a dark outlook and is a chal-
lenge to every patriotic person in
our land to do his or her very
best, whether in civilian life or in
the military, to win this war
against Communism at the earliest
possible time.
Controls—
The efforts that are being made
to use voluntary controls of the
economy during wartime are laud-
able, but such controls are not
likely to work. Voluntary controls
require a most 100 percent com-
pliance without any chiseling. In
the business world, there are some
chiselers. Although they are the
exceptions and not the general
rule, they represent the difference
between voluntary and compulsory
controls.
