winning plays and radio scripts
written by men and women in the
U. 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.

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.
