Evet. till 9 p.m Seek to Establish County Tuberculosis Control Area > A petition for a referendum on whether to establish a tuberculosis control district i n Cook county outside Chicago has been filed in County court, it was announced this week by the Chicago-Cook County committee for the E r a d i c a t i o n of Tuberculosis. County Judge E d m u n d K . J a r e c k i set a hearing on the petition for F r i day, September 19, at 2 p.m.. in R o o m 603 of the county building. E d w i n B . Berndtson, 111 West Washington street, Chicago, is attorney for the committee. The move is another step in a broad p r o g r a m developed by the committee several months ago for the control of tuberculosis in Cook county. The county as a whole has for several years failed to sain ground against the disease: in fact, two years have shown increases. The committee has already been instrumental in obtaining from the Legislature an increase from $3,000,000 to *4 500.000 in the peeged levy for the Municipal Tuberculosis sanitarium and in initiating a process of rehabilitation of that institution. Inadequate Facilities However, Cook county outside C h i e=*so. with a population of 700.000, has "completely inadeauate facilities for the care of tuberculosis." and the only solution, in the oninion of Ihe committee, is the establishment of a tuberculosis control district which would make possible eventuallv the establishment of sanitarium facilities in the suburban district under the Glackin law. If the voters of the district an"rove, it would be for County Judge J a r e c k i to appoint three nersons as directors of the district, all from the suburban area, and it would then be their duty to plan for the establishment of necessary facilities, whether the building of a new sanitarium or the use of other facilities which might be acquired in accordance with the established need. In a statement the committee pointed out that Cook county outside Chicago has a populaion of 700.000, which, if thev comprised one city, would make it the 10th largest in the United States. Yet, the committee nointed out. it has onlv 132 beds available for the care of tuberculosis against an indicated need of more than 400. E x i s t i n g beds are in O a k Forest i n f i r m a r y and the county hospital, both swamped with Chicago cases and both carrying the taint of pauperism. In 1945 there were 167 deaths and 245 cases of tuberculosis reported from suburban Cook county.

(Maurice Seymour Photo) HftVMflY Christian Science Churches The subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Sept. 14, was: "Substance." The Golden Text was: "The invisible things of h i m from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being undersood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead" (Romans 1: 20). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "For all flesh is grass, and all the glory of m a n as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away; but the word of the L o r d endureth for ever. A n d this is the word which bv the gospel is preached unto you" 11 Peter 1: 24.25). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook. "Science and Health with K e y to the Scriplures" by M a r y Baker E d d y : "How true it is that whatever is learned through material sense must be lost because such so-called knowledge is reversed by the spiritual facts of being in Science That which material sense calls intangible, is found to be substance. What to material sense seems subtance, become nothingness, as the sensed r e a m vanishes and reality appears. Mortals must look beyond fading, finite forms, if they would gain the true sense of things. Where shall the gaze rest but in the unsearchable realm of M i n d ? " (pp. 312, 264). WILL E N T E R SCHOOL msm% wmVm One of our designs ready for building To North Shore "In-Laws" We Have a Housing Solution! You would like, of course, to have your young married people stay on the North Shore. Yet land and house costs, and tax levies are prohibitively high, for most young families, in the Old Villages. We have a solution. "Have them move West" but 7 minutes to either of the charming Villages of Northbrook or Deerfield where land costs and taxes are much less--and well within the budgets of young and growing families. Splendidly planned, latest-feature 2 and 3-bedroom Ranch Houses, and charming 2-story Colonials--each distinctively different and in most carefully restricted, highly protected, fully improved areas with excellent schools and stores, and at prices ranging from $12,000 to $15,000 for the homes, $35 to $50 a foot for the sites, and with surprisingly low annual taxes from $89 to $150. Send for descriptive plats and plans. Coast Guard Rescues 4 in Boat Accident The arrow-class sailboat, "Albatross." belonging to Leonard J .
