J The Brazos Count; r TB Association should be commended for including the Anneic In Its schedule for locating the mobile tuberculosis chest x-ny unit coming here next yeek. Not only are they taking steps for prevention of the dreaded disease among their cwn people, but they are also helping hundreds of students Who live outside the Bryan area. The essential fadtor in combating the germ is time; therefore, the sooner the germ is found, the greater the chances .are of killing i: beforeany actual sickness begins. Two years ago the unit was located at the Annex and 840 x-rays were made. This was a creditable number but not 100 percent. Officials li the Annex are looking toward reach ing that 100 percent figure this year and if everything goes right, no one should W missed in the campaign. Equipment will be set up in the west end of the Regis trar’s Office and men will go over for the x-rays during their physical education periods. Veterans and other students not enrolled in gym classes may coine in at any time, although Tuesday afternoon is preferred since no physical education classes are schdeuled at thjat time. Be one of the first to have an x-ray made. It only takes a few minutes and any sm^U'trace of the disease found now can avoid future suffering. • V SHMAN STAFF Joel Austin El wood Schmidt Allen Penselly ...
