At the time the National Tuberculosis association was formed in 1904, there were fewer than 10,000 hospital beds for the tuberculous in the United States. There are 100,000 today. The present enrollment in the county hospital tuberculosis wards is 134, the average enrollment for the past year, approximately 125. Training received by patients while recovering from tuberculosis often enables them to obtain better jobs when they leave the hospital than they had previously. In Orange county, elementary, secondary and handcraft instruction is given to the patients in the tuberculous pavilion of the Orange County hospital. WATCH FOR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT BY CINDERILLA SHOPPE OF Pay Boost Puts Private In Upper Crust According to a survey recently completed by Sixth Army Recruiting headquarters, Presidio of San Francisco, a private in the United States Army, due to recent pay boost, now receives income in excess of that enjoyed by half the families of the United States as of last year. The cash renumeration of $ per month which the private receives, is only a small fraction of his actual income, the survey shows. "Hidden pay" in the form of free food, clothing, lodging, dental care and other benefits bring his weekly pay check to the equivalent of about $40 a week or a total of $2,080 a year. Estimated on a conservative basis, the "hidden pay" figure were determined by the army in an effort to compare the actual army pay with that of a civilian. An estimate of $30 a month was made for food of the same quantity and quality as the soldier receives. This did not take into consideration the rapidly rising cost on the outside. It was estimated that the medical and dental care a soldier receives would cost an unmarried civilian $100 a year and a married civilian, about $250 a year. The first year's issue of army clothing was valued at about $21 and other estimates were of an equally conservative nature. The survey notes that after thirty years of service, a first service grant retires on $185.63 a month.

The survey notes that after thirty years of service, a first sergeant retires on $185.63 a month. A civilian would have to pay $1,200 a year for thirty years for a similar retirement income. Not taken into consideration, was the loss of pay frequently suffered through loss of employment in the fluctuating civilian market.

Your Protection Against Tuberculosis Top Queries Still Terminal Leave Pay and Housing Terminal leave pay and housing are still the main subjects under discussion at the Anaheim Municipal Veterans Information center, according to an announcement made by Ira B. Hodgkins, veterans administrator of the city. A total of 201 interviews were conducted at the center during the month of November, Hodgkins said. Of these, 61 were concerned with terminal leave pay and 55 with housing. Interviews for schooling and apprenticeship numbered 17; employment, 17; miscellaneous, 10; veterans loans, 9 legal, 7; transportation and directions, 6; referrals, 5; life insurance, 5; surplus commodities, Southland Softball Editor Declares He Is Reformed--Some Editor, Gazette: I have definitely decided to reform, to some extent, maybe, and write a serious article on Southland Softball, my monthly magazine which will soon be issued, God and the Gazette mechanical force consenting. But before I start on this here serious stuff, I want to say that I did not quite understand why the City Hall bunch and other big-wigs in politics in Anaheim were meeting so regularly in Jackson's drug store. I swear I had no idea they were trying to run him for President again in 1948. I was pretty young when he ran the first time, and I had quite a time crawling over the Stonewall he erected for something or other, maybe the tariff. So, with that off my chest, I can start being serious. I originally intended to publish 28 pages of Southland Softball, with four pages in color, and to have 5,250 copies printed. I thought, it being off-season for the boys and girls to be sliding home on their posteriors, that I might have quite a few copies left over. But, right now, I have increased the number of pages to 32, with eight in color, and the number of copies to 10,500. Before the first color run is started, I may be compelled to add another 5,000 copies to the order. I do not know whether this increase is due to the fact that the Southland is crazy over softball, or because the folks all go crazy Southern California is making a postwar "come as "America's Fiestaland." World-wide fame was ex- by the southland for the 1,000 flower shows, historical holiday fiestas, harvest and shows, community celebrations and sports spectacles held annually in pre-war days. Some survived the war many others are now bobbing again.

Total to date is 4,285. Hodgkins reported that the City of Anaheim Federal Public Housing project has now been in operation for more than two months and that the tenants are very well satisfied with the services rendered. "Two washing machines have been installed in the wash room which the city erected, and more are promised, if needed," Hodgkins added. "This is another service for which the occupants have spoken their appreciation. The lawns which were planted between the buildings are now up and doing well. This is a great improvement to the project as it eliminates a great deal of dust in the dry weather or mud in the rainy season." Garden Grovers To Attend Party Garden Grovers were notified this week of their annual turkey dinner and Christmas party, to be held in the Garden Grove high school gymnasium tonight, Thursday, December 12, at 6:30 p.m. Present will be Mrs. James Kent, who will lead in community singing of carols and the Rev.

Earl Laux, cheirman, announced that reservations should be mailed in advance in order that the dinner committee will know how many to expect. Tickets will be sold at the front door. Schedule Annual Red Cross Meet The annual Red Cross meeting is scheduled for January 22 at the Schedule Annual Red Cross Meet The annual Red Cross meeting is scheduled for January 22 at the Anaheim Ebell clubhouse with the chapter canteen in charge of food, it was announced during the regular business session Wednesday night of last week at the local headquarters in the city hall. Mrs. M. A. Gauer, chairman, presided. The nominating committee elected to report on the annual dinner-meeting include Mrs. Ben Kaulbars, Mrs. P. H. Nelson and Miss Madge Sproull. In the production center report it was revealed that 24 volunteers had given 310 hours of service, creating 11 knitted garments and 44 sewed garments. Members of the Junior Red Cross at Anaheim Union high school are now making children's dresses, skirts, shirts, blouses and other garments for overseas civilian relief, under the direction of Miss Neva Solt, advisor. Enrollment in the Junior Red Cross in Anaheim is over the half-way mark, it was announced. Twenty-one cases are open, five of them new, the home service department report disclosed. Assistance was given to three veterans and ex-service men and 24 office calls were also listed. GREET NEW SON Welcoming a new son were Mr. and Mrs. Gus William Luizania of 117 North Claudina street, Anaheim. He arrived at Anaheim hospital Wednesday of last week, tipping the scales at seven pounds and four ounces. I am too busy (or lazy). Too many will be willing to do the work in order to get the publicity. I don't like writing out softball schedules. I can't write them out anyway, having had all my thumbs and fingers busted when I was the Pride of the Prairies, the manager's dream, that roistering, dashing, slipping sliding shortstop, "Ducky" Holmes, that whom there was no whomer nor whammer nor whoozer. I realize that you-all must be pretty busy at Jackson's, planning his comeback after the damyankees retired him, but can't just devote a few minutes to asking your subscribers to please, please, get serious too and send in some news items, schedules, etc., instead of spending so much time trying to elect to the Presidency a man who has been dead so long that folks think he's been resurrected; and who, I have no doubt, if elected would push a little chicken in the creek and laugh while it drowned. However, if he's bound to run, I will make him a special rate on political advertising. Count five lies to the word, and send cash in advance, please. With best regards and hopes that 1948 will find either a Democrat or a Republican in the White House in place of a Nude-Ealer, I remain, Yo' ll' South'n Editor, E. S. HOLMES. Who will probably be deader'n Stonewall Jackson if he keeps on being serious like this a little longer. Southland Seen Coming Back As Fiestaland' Southern California is fast taking a postwar "comeback" "America's Fiestaland."

Some survived the war and many others are now bobbing up on. Approximately 28 are scheduled for December, including a tournament of Roses Queen Monation and ball, Pasadena Civic auditorium, December 26. Christmas yacht regatta, New-Balboa Harbor, December 29.
