Carter Manasco At the beginning of a new year, it might be well for us to review the activities of Congress in 1947. During the year just past, the U.

S- Senate was in session a total of 143 days, with the House of Representatives meeting 144 times. The average session in the Senate was 5.6 hours long and in the House it was 4.8 hours in duration. Congress enacted 1,870 different measures during those sessions, including 394 public bills. Members of Congress did a lot of talking about legislation. Their remarks filled 11,889 pages in the Congressional Record.

The 1947 session of the 80th Congress 'passed appropriation bills Mr. H. E. McKelvey moved his iamily to near Arab last week. Mr.

and Mrs. L. H. Crawford snd family were dinner guests of 'Mr. and Mrs.

R. L. Penn in Deca- lur Christmas Day. Mrs. Homer Stewart and -Mrs.

Mollie Edwards visited Har. vey Edwards in Tuscaloosa last totaling more than 30 billion dollars, for government agencies, including the Army and Navy, and for foreign relief, including 9 mil- i lion-dollars to combat hoof and mouth disease in Mexico, In 1947 Congress took the followr- major action: Baaned portal to portal pay suits. Provided aid for Greece and Turkey. Passed the Taft-Hartley bill, or Labor-Management Relations Acfc Voted to amend the Constitution in limiting Presidents to two terms. This amendment must yet be ratified by two-thirds, of the States before becoming law.

Passed a rent-control bill. Put the Speaker of the House next in line of succession for the Presidency after the Vice-President. Merged the armed forces into one National Defense unit, with three components Army, Navy, and Air Force. Voted emergency aid for France, Italy, Austria and China. Passed a mild, four-point anti- inflation program.

The year 1948 should be an interesting year for Congress, parti- cularly from a political standpoint. The new year will see two major partys, conventions and a national election. The majority of the members of Congress will be running for reelection this year. It promises to be a year where debate will flow fast and furious across the aisles which separate Democrats from Republicans in the two houses of Congress. It also is likely that few major laws will be made and that Congress will adjourn early.

Carter Manasco, your Congress-man from the 7th District, has a new employee in his Washington office, Mrs. Robert Wilbert, the former Miss Lurlene Poss of Jasper, has replaced Miss Sara Brown Collins of Jasper, who recently resigned.

M. McKelvey. The Importance Of Diagnosis In Medical Treatment Hippocrates the great physician "the father of medicine" said: To know is one thing; but merely to believe one knows is ignorance." The great contribution of Hippocrates a medical diagnosis. Without accurate diagnosis all treatment and all opinion become mere guesswork. Diagnosis "is the most difficult branch of medicine end it is also the most important.

Yet patients rarely appreciate its importance. We feel that even those patients of Hippocfste became restless and irritable while he sat beside them, slowly seekfrig with t3ie few means at his command to make the necessary diagnosis. Pat- then, no doubt, as today, of all pills and elixirs to hasten their recovery, and an immediate opinion outcome of their illness. must have been some among who became discouraged and turned to quacks--for there were quacks then as today--who based their diagnosis on showy guesses or made none at all and gave treatment useless treatment with all the confidence of ignorance Correct diagnosis must precede any scientific attempt at healing. For some few diseases there are specific cures, means by which the disease can be overcome with almost absolute assurance of success.

But even these methods of treatment can be used only when the disease is recognized--that is, diagnosed. Moreover for those numerous diseases for which there is no specific, remedy-the diagnosis itself is often tantamount to treatment. If diseases are detected early they can usually be arrested.
