Committees For TB Early Diagnosis Campaign Named Ralph C. Smedley, Santa Ana, Secretary of Toastmasters International, who is serving as the chairman of the Early Diagnosis Campaign of the Orange County tuberculosis and Health Association, opening this month, has announced the formation of campaign committees in all towns in the county. Chairmen of the committees are: Mrs. R. W. Balch, Anaheim; Mrs. C. Glenn Curtis, Brea; Mrs. C. Rodabaugh, Buena Park; John D. Flanagan, Fullerton; Miss Carmelita Rous, Garden Grove; J. Sherman Denny, Huntington Beach; Mrs. J. Homer Foster, Laguna Beach; A. W. McBride, Na Habra, T. O. Mattingly, Newport Harbor; Reverend R. B. McCulay, Orange; Reverend David Braun, Placentia; Mrs. Clara Berg, San Clemente; Mrs. Allen Keim, Juan Capistrano; Mrs. H. V. Ekberg, Seal Beach; and Mrs. Myrtle Knouse Sitzer, Westminster. "The campaign is held each year," Mr. Smedley said, "to emphasize the tremendous importance of early diagnosis in tuberculosis. Early tuberculosis is easily curable, yet, in spite of the intense educational work done by the association, the majority of patients entering nearby sanatoria are in an advanced stage. "Only when we all know that tuberculosis can be in an advanced stage before any symptoms appear, hence, know that only a periodic examination can insure an early diagnosis, will we make faster progress in wiping out this disease," he added. A-1 Registrants Cannot Join Navy Until Examination With Navy recruiting stations throughout Southern California being jammed daily with 1-A draft registrants who seek to "join the Navy" prior to induction, Lieut. Comdr. L. D. Blanchard, officer in charge of Navy Recruiting and Induction for this area, today issued information to clarify the status of these men in regard to possible naval service. "Voluntary enlistment in the Navy for men between 18 and 38 closed more than a year ago," Comdr. Blanchard reminded. "Men who are placed in 1-A by their local boards must await the day of their pre-induction physical examination before they can be assigned to any branch of the armed forces, and this will be done only at the Armed Forces Induction Center." Exception to this rule is in the case of men who have some special skill such as radio engineers, diesel mechanics, coopersmith, divers and other selected occupations required by the Ship Repair Units of the Navy. Such men, even though of draft age, may apply at Navy recruiting stations for pre-induction processing. Navy recruiting stations now are accepting voluntary enlistments of 17-year-olds; men over 38 and under 50½; and women between 20 and 36 for the WAVES. VOTE FOR SAM L.
