So send for the tests below f By - George VV. Crahe, Ph. D., M.D. CASE K-537: Dr. X is a prom­ inent psychiatrist. He attended a men's luncheon club recently at which a per­ sonnel director of a large fac­ tory explained some of his prob­ lems in hiring workers. " Your talk was very interes­ ting," commended the psychi­ atrist. "In fact, I wonder if it would be possible for me to visit your office and observe your handling of job applicants?" "Certainly," replied the per­ sonnel director. "In fact, Pd be honored to have you visit me at the plant." Next day the psychiatrist ap­ peared and sat in a corner of the office while the personnel director interviewed three ap­ plicants for jobs. "How much are 2. and 2?" inquired the personnel director. "Four," came the response fromAhe first applicant. "That's fine," said the P.D., juiitjcur 7-nd.hc address where we can contact you if anthing opens up." When the second applicant was asked how much are 2 and 2, he took a belligerent attitude. "That's none of your bus­ iness," he bluntly answered the P,D. "Pd have you know I'm not required to submit to your tests at all, so I refuse to an­ swer." "O.K.," answered the P.D., "but give us your name and ad­ dress so if any job is available, we can get in touch with you." " At last, in came the third applicant, who was also asked, "How much are 2 and 2? ' He smiled and replied: r "Well, that all depends. If you place one under the other and add them, they make 4. "But if you set one in front of the other, the answer is 22." "Splended," repliedthe P.D., "so please write down your name and the address where we can locate you if a suitable job opens up." After all the applicants were Pets That Need A Heme 0s * OR ARE Looking For Their Master As a public service of the McHenry Plaindealer all ads run under "Pets That Need A Home" are Free.

Williams Crystal Lake lOOOOOOOOOBOOl first man has no im-fe replied the psychia ould make a steady orker if you placed him in/k routing job. In fact, he'd be content to remain there till he retired at age 65. But that second man will be a chronic trouble maker. He'll cause constant friction between management and labor and al­ ways be a pain in yoiir neck. "But the last man has im­ agination and is resourceful, so he will move upward to higher jcfc~ ar.d larger -a'ar^' The P.D. nodded apprec­ iatively. "Then you'd suggest I hire the third applicant?" he asked the psychiatrist. "No, not at all," replied the doctor. "Pd recommend that you employ the second man." "But why?" inquired the P.D., incredulously. "For you yourself said he'd be a chronic trouble maker. Why should I hire him?" "Because he's my brother- in-law!" responded the psychi­ atrist. This case sounds like a joke but it isn't funny to a lot of personnel managers, for the Big Boss often insists that his rel­ atives be hired, regardless of their qualifications. And in government, nepotism (hiring kinfolk) is a great cause of inefficiency. In fact, the Post Office also complains of illiterate workers it is forced to employ to pay off political debts of Congress­ men et al. So send for my "Tests for Employers and Employees," enclosing a long stamped, re­ turn envelope, plus 20 cents. Many large firms use them ef­ fectively. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, en­ closing a long stamped, ad­ dressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing V.USUS vslien jrOu jwi»J foi one of his booklets.)

SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH A PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE ILLINOIS STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY RECORD GRAIN SHIPMENT A shipment of 798,000 bushels of grain sailed last week from Chicago's Calumet Harbor. This is the largest grain ship­ ment ever to leave Illinois for an overseas port. The vessel carried 720,000 bushels of corn and 78,000 bushels of soybeans destined for Antwerp, Belgium. Since the shipping season open­ ed this year 19,192,000 bushels of grain have been moved out of the Chicago ports. People who are always prac­ ticing what they preach, don't preach much. 'WHITE PLAGUE* STILL A MENACE \ About 100,000 Americans are walking the streets today with active infectious tuberculosis-- ana they don't know it! BjNhe time their symptoms appear^-- fever, weight loss, coughing and perhaps blood spitting -- the disease has reached a point where control is difficult. Many won't recov­ er. In fact, o%cr 19,000 3fthese victims will die. Tuberculosis is a special threat for people over age 50 because they were born and reared during the peak of TB. The daysbefore milk was pas­ teurized...before TB victims were adequately isolated and treated. ..when epidemics were common...and when the disease was the leading cause of death. Children under five are an­ other "high risk" group be­ cause of their frequent and close associations with their parents, relatives, household help and baby sitters, any of whom may be "carriers." However, anyone is suscep­ tible and can contract TB from someone who has it, mainly by breathing air contaminated with TB germs (tubercle bacilli). These germs are spread ty coughing, sneezing and spitting. Sometimes a person becomes infected when germs enter his mouth from contaminated fin­ gers, food or eating utensils, or from kissing an infectedperson. Because TB is so hlsrhly com­ municable, everyone should have an annual checkup in the form of a skin test or chest x-ray. Fortunately these tests are available free--anytime of the year--anywhere in Illinois. Lo­ cal public health offices and Tuberculosis Association chap­ ters are more than willing to direct you to TB detection cen­ ters in your area. The skin tests are simple and painless. There are three types: the Mantoux (pronounced Man-too/test, the patch test, and the multiple puncture test. If one of these indicates TB germs are present, it doesn't necessarily mean the terms are doing damage. It takes an x-ray and sputum test, along with blood and urine stutfies, to ac­ curately determine whether or not the bacilli are active. If active tuberculosis is di­ agnosed, your physician has a choice of a variety of drugs such as streptomycin and ion- izaid which effectively suppress the germs while the body builds its own immunity.
