Moreover, Trustee Paul Belcher promised that more of the union members would be fired if they do not do their jobs satisfactorily. This was the major development which came from a meeting of the trustees with Summit county com missioners in an effort to end the two-day "slow-down" of 84 em ployes. Sanatorium employes were to meet on the grounds at 1:30 p. m. • to discuss the outcome of the meet £P ing between trustees and commis sioners. D Commissioners Oren D. Carter, Murray S.

Out Of Season Any Time Sanatorium Service Back To Normal Tuesday, May 3, 1949 Political Payoff The people of Summit county have al i/% ways been willing to approve special tax levies for Edwin Shaw sanatorium because they have taken pride in the institution's [reputation as the finest hospital of its kind in the state.' .'When levies for other public purposes have encountered resistance at the ballot box, the sanatorium has always received generous support. The fact that the peo ple HAVE been willing to earmark extra money for the sanatorium has been a great help to the county commissioners. It has enabled them to maintain the tuberculosis hospital at top quality without depriving slowdown of the United Public Workers at Edwin C.

Mora recently this effort has been carried on by the present board of trustees—A. C. Blinn, John A. Thorpe, Jr., and Paul E. Belcher—and the superintendent, Dr. James T.

If they bad set Chine pn» ™J.MV,™ arsenal; out intentionally to defeat future sana torium levies, the commissioners El could not have chosen a better ap proach. The commissioners—Ralph C. Kibler, Oren D. Carter and John Poda—are at tempting to replace Blinn with George Bass, president of Goodrich local, URW- CIO. Kibler personally preferred I. H, Watson, president of Firestone local, URW-CIO, but Carter and Poda insisted on naming Bass. The difference is immate rial. Both Bass and Watson are poli ticians; one happens to belong to one fac tion of the Democratic party, one to the other. Even if Bass and Watson were fully qualified for useful service on the board of trustees, we do not think either should be appointed. We are surprised, frankly, that the commissioners have shown themselves to be so crude. It should be obvious, even to Kibler, Poda and Carter, that public respect for the sanatorium will suffer If trusteeships are going to be passed out as political favors—like jobs in a state liquor store. We do not believe that these appoint ments or any other honors like them should be distributed by the commissioners in payment for past favors or, as may be the case here, In anticipation of favors yet to come. If Kibler, Poda and Carter are too dense to appreciate the damage which their cheap politics may do to the sanatorium, perhaps Bass and Watson will recognize, the impropriety of the commissioners' gesture and decline to be parties to it. Membership on the sanatorium board has been regarded in the past as an honor and an opportunity for humanitarian serv ice. If the county commissioners are de termined to play politics with the sana torium, we suggest that the institution's name be changed.

Garry, chief of the division of j tuberculosis of the Ohio state ' health department. Emphasizing the backwardness of Ohio in health work, Dr, Garry declared, "Our state is fourth in I wealth and 48th in health." "Taxpayers must realize the ter rific economic responsibility they ! have to tuberculosis control. They pay $10,000 for each case. The I national safety council says the I annual economic IOBS in Ohio bc- i cause of tuberculosis to its several j stages Is $88,126,000," the speaker reported. DR. GARRY outlined a proposed tuberculosis control program which will be submitted to the state legislature in January, 1047. The plan calls for a capital investment | of nearly eight million dollars for five new tuberculosis hospitals throughout Ohio and five million dollars for operating expenses. "It Is vitally necessary to bring tuberculosis within the range of insignificance. It costs dollars to tolerate the disease and only pen nies to control It," he concluded. At the association's business meeting, 10 trustees elected were M. S. Richardson, A. J. Frecka, Charles B. Ryan, Jr., Lee Ferb- o I stein. Rev. Harry D. Rose, Jack 'Smith, Harold S.
