AFfER RECENT TEST
A new impetus has been given to the
campaign against tuberculosis by
members of the Butler County Medical
Society, it was reported this week by
Dr. H. A. Moore, Oxford, president of
the Butler County Tuberculosis and
Health Association, meeting with the
program committee of the association
Several people have been found to
have tuberculosis, Dr. Moore stated,
as a result of physicians making use
of the tuberculin "patch test" distri
bution by the association.
Distribution of the "patches" by the
tuberculosis association was begun in
July, and, since that time, 1,100 have
been placed in the hands of county
physicians. A supply is kept on hand
at the headquarters of the association,
and any physician may renew his sup
ply on a moment's notice.
Physicians are now equipped to
make the test at any time in their of
fices, and many people with "positive"
reactions have been referred to the
Tuberculosis Clinic, according to
Charles G. Greig, executive secretary
of the association.
"The tuberculosis association plans
to continue this service," Mr. Greig
said, "as it has already shown fine
results and has made possible the
finding of many new and heretofore
undetected cases of tuberculosis."
In addition to this service, the tuber

GRIDIRON BATTLE
'SESQUF FEATURE
Hamilton's gridiron battle, October
11, with DeVilbiss High of Toledo,
has been designated the official sports
event of the Hamilton-Butler County
Sesqui-Centennial Celebration, being
held in Hamilton during the week of
October 4-11.
The game will be played on the
Hamilton High School athletic field at
2:15 o'clock on "Aviation Day," final
day of the celebration. The contest
is expected to be one of the highlights
of the local team's schedule, as Ham
ilton is thirsting for revenge for a
drubbing received last year at the
hands of the Toledo gridders. Coach
Ray Tilton said Monday his team "is
being pointed toward that game with
the idea of getting back some of the
victory-taste we lost last year to the
same outfit."
As part of its job of playing host to
thousands of visitors during the cele
bration, Hamilton will have athletic
officers and the football squad of De
Vilbiss as special guests at celebration
events Saturday night, after the game,
in the Butler County Fairgrounds.
There the visiting group will see

pageant-spectacle with a cast of over

to portray various bits of history con
