S. armed forces in a new BLUE series to be launched next autumn. Material for the new series will come from an exclusive network tie-up with the National Theatre Conference, just announced by Phillips Carlin, vice-president in charge of programs. The affiliation, according to Mr. Carlin, provides for the radio usage of material submitted in two playwriting contests conducted by the Conference among service men and women. The Conference, with headquarters at Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, in cludes the dramatic departments of most of the colleges and universi ties and the outstanding community theatre groups throughout the country. Recently the Conference com pleted a playwriting contest limit ed to servicemen and women in this country. A second contest has just been started, which will include members of the overseas divisions. Contest classifications are: long plays, one-act plays, skits and black-outs, musical comedies; and radio plays, including dramatic scripts, twenty-eight minutes in length, and spots, seven minutes in length. Because of its desire to provide greater opportunity for talented under-graduate writers, the BLUE will pay full network prices for any scripts it may use. It will al so have access to material contain ed in long play or musical comedy entries. Bulletins featuring the net work’s participation in the contest are being prepared, and will be sent out by the contest headquar ters to supplement those already being distributed by the United States Organizations and the Red Cross here and overseas. Material for the autumn series will come from the first play writing contest. This will be aug mented later with entries from the second contest, which will close on December 1, 1944. Hizzoner will be hindered and abetted by the regular trio of ju rors: “Bigelow Hornblower’ play ed by Mel Blanc, “Bubbles Low- bridge,” by Sara Berner, and Ar thur Q; Bryan as “Waymond Wad- cliffe.” The only bit of reason brought into the courtroom will be by Jimmy Dodd with his weekly ballad, sung to the accompaniment of the Jack Rose Trio. *** “And Then You Kissed Me,” “I’ll Be Seeing You,” and “I Love My Baby” will be romantically bari- toned by Curley Bradley, m. c., on the WTAW broadcast of the Farm and Home Makers, Wednes day, August 30, at 11:30 a. m., CWT.

Shown here are the pair, Ethel and Albert, lookina over their scriot orior to one of their broadcasts. Public Health Aims Discussed Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer, in outlining the duties of the Texas State Department of Health said in a statement today that public .health measures are preventive and not curative. “In an effort to prevent disease,” Dr. Cox said, “the State Health Department carries on an educa tional program informing the pub lic as to how they may secure pro tection by vaccination against smallpox, typhoid fever, and immu nization against diphtheria; by in vestigating sources of disease out breaks; by quarantining and iso lating those ill with communicable disease; by the prevention of the spread of the disease; inspection of water supplies and advocating the production and use of safe milk Service Regional Offices, and from the United Staes Civil Service Com mission, Washington, D. C. to prevent the occurence of milk- borne diseases.” Dr. Cox said that in spite of all preventive measures, people will become ill and accidents will hap pen. The cure of suckness and the repair of accidents fall within the scope of the duties of the private practitioner of medincine and sur gery. “Of course,” he * said, “the general practitioner of medicine is also engaged in prevention of disease when he advises mothers to have their children protected against diphtheria and smallpox or to have the family as a whole immunized against tphoid fever.” The general practitioner and State Health Department alike ad vocate that it is better to remain healthy than it is to recover from an illness, but the State Health Department is engaged in the con trol and prevention of disease as it affects the general population of a community or state.
