Goal will be 8,000 chest films in the annual campaign for the early detection of tuberculosis. Christmas Seal mobile X-ray units will pay their annual visit to East Cleveland, June 1-12, 1954, to offer free chest X-rays to all residents of the city 15 years or more of age. The annual cainpaign for the early detection of tuberculosis was announced this week by Dr. James P. Winkler, East Cleveland Direc tor of Health, who is also acting as chairman for the X-ray drive. Aim of the program is free chest X-rays for 8,000 adults in an effort to uncover previoulsy unknown cases of TB. “The importance of the pro gram to individual and community health cannot be overemphasized,” Dr. Winkler says. ’Tuberculosis is the most important and most cost ly communicable disease remain ing.” Chest X-r’ay discovers tubercu losis early when it is most easily cured, he points out. Furthermore, ■as early cases are brought under medical supervision and treatment, the danger of these persons spreading thfeir disease to others is eliminated. ’A chest X-ray is as easy as having your snapshot taken,” Dr. Winkler says. “For some people, it will prove the most important picture they ever have taken, for it will literally be the means of saving their lives.” The 8,000 X-ray goal is a 24 per cent increase over the 6,447 films taken during the 1953 East THAT In East Cleveland Hats off to the music depart ments of the City’s schools.

Shaw’s Rhythm Teens (started as a A’la Waring group) is return ing this afternoon from a decid edly successful whirlwind two day 300-mile tour during which they made five appearances before gome 5000 people. Not only did they cordially entertain their audi ences, but they spread the fair name and good fame of Shaw High School in all their contacts. Pre vious to this trip, they made 13 appearances in and around home. Much of the Rhythm Teens ac tivity this Spring has been made possible by the generous assist ance of the Kiwanis and Lions service clubs. “What a lot of school news’* comments a reader. Yes, sir, and there will be plenty of it during these closing weeks of the school year.
