Show Spreads Among Indians T-- B Transfer of health services for the Indians to the US Public Health Service was urged by Representative Wililam A. Daw son, R., Utah, when he testified recently before a House subcom-mitt- e. Mr. Dawson former Utah state Welfare commisioner, told the subcommittee that the tuberculosis rate was mounting among the Indians in Utah and held that the present arrangement under which the Bureau of Indian affairs was administering the program was working against the best interests of the In dians. The health of the Indians said Mr. Dawson, now is in a deplorable state. He said a duplication of service exists because the Indians Bureau already calls on the US Public Health Service occassion ally for help. Mr. Dawson contended the health service was a lot better qualified to handle the job and that it could be finianc- - to the J ot Best wishes on your j ; ' I ed by diverting funds from the Indian service and thereby requiring no additional expense to the taxpayer. The proposed transfer of the administration of health services for Indians and the operation of Indian hospitals to the Public Health service is being studied by a sub committee headed by Rep. William Harrison of Wyo- ming. Case Aid worker of the Coun-- i ty Welfare Dept, was contacted relative to the health of the Indians on the Navajo reservation in San Juan Co., and he stated the health condition among the Navajos is deplorable. T.B. is No. 1 of all diseases among the Indians, and for many thousand who fall prey to this dread disease there is but a very small percentage who recover, and those who do, never regain their natural strength. TB is a disease that makes inroads so quickly on so many unsuspecting individuals. A poor Navajo may be suffering for a long time before aid of any kind comes to him. To state the real facts concerning the condition of the Indian people affected with TB. no notice is ever taken of a sick patient until he is in the last stages, and then in nearly all cases, the shortest and most care free diagnosis for the sick person would be to isolate him to some old hogon on a hill top with a can of water and a few morsels of bread. The suffering human is left to his own fate. Worker states that the condition of the Indians is growing worse instead of improving. Many Indians live in the same hogan, and it is no wonder TB is spreading. The health service does not even reach many of the Indians for whom it is intended. Cedar Point News graduation.

Second, cuts of meat from the front quarters of beef are much cheaper than cuts from hind quarters. Fourth meat from front quarters is just as nutritious as from hind quarters. Fourth, quality of the meat is essentially the same from front and hind quarters, but it needs to be cooked differently from other cuts. Consumers should know a retailer places variable prices on the different cuts of beef. When a retailer buys a half or tvhole carcass of beef from the packer, he marks up the price t0 cover his costs and provide a margin of profit.. When cutting the carcass . he knows by experience that steaks sell faster than pot roasts. The retailer also knows he must sell all the carcass with in a short time or the meat will spoil. So he prices steaks comparatively high, and cuts from front quarters are priced lower. In other words, if consumers used more beef from front quarters retailers would reduce steak prices even more than they have in recent months. A few of the cuts available at most butcher shops are: Chuck roast (boneless or with bone in), short ribs, rolled plate or flank, arm pot roast or steak and neck (boneless or rolled).

Failure of the engine to bring you through normal flood waters, which might cover highways, can be attributed mostly to water on the ignition System caused by splashing. Todays engines are better equipped to combat excessive moisture and driving through water, by the use of such things as improved rubber housings on the spark plug terminals.
