Chichester, ‘county health officer. has | completed plans for a drive against tu- | berculosis, he announced today. The drive wili start with a series of clinics, which, with the exception of the first, which will be held next Thursday at the Clarendon Health Center, will be held on the second Wednesday of each month, alternating among the three health centers in the county. Dr. H. A. Laiane of Alexandria, who has been holding the chest clinics, will be in charge of the tuberculosis clinics. In explaining separate tuberculosis clinics, Dr. Chichester stated that it is difficult to determine whether a patient has tuberculosis from the supeificial chest examination. Arrangements have been made, he explained, for X-ray pictures and tu- berculin tests for all persons suspected of having the disease. The clinics are to be held especially for children, in order that the presence of the disease Among them may be dis- covered at an early age and overcome before it has had time to reach a seri- ous stage. Adults will, however, be given the benefit of the clinies. While it is not to be expected that the results will be as startling a5 in the prevention of diphtheria, Dr. Chiches- ter said, it is reasonable to believe that the health department, with the co- operation of the many physicians prac- ticing in the county, can greatly curb O PAY | Ak LASALLE COLEEE WL OPEN SO Structure of Christian Bros.

SAYS HATRED LED TO REVOLT. SHERIDAN, Wyo. October 7 (P).— Hatred of prison officials and A desire for revenge weré two of the contribut- ing motives that spurred Colorado State Penitentiary convicts to fight against tremendous odds in their break for liberty last Thursday, in the opinion of J. Willis Hamblin of Sheridan, for- mer chaplain at the Canon City prison. Danny Daniels intimated to me on sevéral occasions that he wanted to “get even” with some of the prison of~ ficials, Mr. Hamblin said. “He was smoldering with anger and hatred becauss of what he believed to unjust treatment he received at the hands of some of the officials. He thought the merit system in use was not conducted impartially.” Rev. Mr. Hamblin left Canon Oity Jast August after serving as prison chaplain for four years. He now i8 tor of the Sheridan Presbyterian g:urch. He served under four different wardens at the penitentiary. The minister said Danieis was a born 1éader of men and a majority of the other convicts “herosworshiped” him. Had he gone into a legitimate pursuit He might have become a prominent han, Rev.
