Gower, Marion 39 React In TB Tests Tuberculin skin testing of Franklin and Williamson County grade school children has found 39 more children with positive reactions to the tests. This makes a total of 91 positive reactions found among 3,690 children tested so far. Test have been conducted at 26 schools in the two counties by the FranklinWilliamson Bi-County Health Dept.

Test results were read last week for 1,124 children tested the previous week in Zeigler, Royalton, Colp, Sunnyside and North Side, West Side and St. Mary's schools in Herrin. Results at the individual schools were: Royalton: 298 tested; 255 negative; 22 positive; and 12 not read; Zeigler: 206 tested; 197 negative; one positive; and eight not read; Colp: 36 tested; 33 negative; one positive; and two not read: West Side School Herrin West Side: 148 tested; 139 negative; one positive; and eight not read; Herrin North Side: 144 tested; 132 negative; seven positive; and five not read; St. Mary's, Herrin: 228 tested; 211 negative; seven positive; and 10 not read; Sunnyside: 73 tested; 71 negative; 1 none positive; and two not read. Some pupils were not tested either because they were absent from school that day or did not have written parental permission to participate in the testing.

Pupils whose tests were not read were absent from school the day health authorities returned to read the tests. Chest X-rays will be given later to the children whose reactions were positive. Positive reactions do not mean the child has tuberculosis, but, rather that at some time he has been exposed to the TB germ. Driver Fined On 2 Counts George E. Purcell, 410 S.

Miners' Families Union, Insurance Policies Raise Benefits By $7,000 National union benefits and ments from the local nine union's group life insurance have added more than $7,000 to benefits for the widows and children of the three victims of the Orient 5 mine fire. Awards totaling $51,500 for the three families, under the Workmen's Compensation Act, were decided an Illinois Industrial Commission hearing Monday. Freeman Coal Mining operator of the mine, is paying the benefits monthly.

In addition, the families of Harold Glenn Miller, 37, of Rt. 1, Sesser; Paul W. Hartsock, 34, of Rt. 2, Elkville; and Charles J. Marvel, 43, of Rt.

3, Thompsonville, have received local and national union death benefits. The victims leave a total of 14 children, 12 of them under 18. Each family was given $1,000 from the United Mine welfare fund. Farrell Whitlow, president of the mine's UMW of A Local 1284, said the families received immedlate aid from the national union's disaster fund. This amounted to approximately $350 for each family, he said.

Each family also collected $1,000 death benefits from the local union's group life insurance policy. Whitlow said he believes Orient 5 is the only area mine which has such a group policy. It was started in 1960, shortly after the mine was sunk. Under the policy, each member employed at the mine makes a monthly payment of $1.50. The policy pays $1,000 to a member's family if he dies, whether at the mine or not.

It covers natural and he accidental death. Members' wives Complaints Led To Disbarment The actions of an Anna attor(ney, disbarred last week by the state Supreme Court, were brought to the attention of the linois State Bar Association through complaints from clients, according to a spokesman for the association in Springfield. Complaints against Harold N. Lingle were referred to the assocation's grievance committee. The Union County Bar Association had no part in instigating action against Lingle, the spokesman said.

The disbarment concerned alleged irregularities in a period from 1959 to 1961. The high court said Lingle had practiced "long continued decep-11 tion" of a client, had taken portion of a $2,750 wrongful death settlement for his own use and had failed to account for a part of a $3,000 personal injury settlement. The spokesman said he understood Lingle has made some payments of restitution. The court's decision concerned itself only with the disbarment. It had nothing to do with requiring Lingle to make restitution, the spokesman said.

He explained that such action would have to come througa civil suit. Union County State's Atty. John Davis said no civil or criminal complaints have been filed against Lingle. POLICE BRIEF POLICE BRIEF Murphysboro: Marion Allen Green St. Louis, fined $10 including costs by Justice of Peace Jim Bob Kerley on ticket by State Trooper Earl D.

Creath for speeding. and children under 19 also are covered by the policy. If a or child under 19 dies, the band receives $500. Whitlow said several death fits have been paid under group policy and "it's very well." He said the plan has taken the place of sing the hat" to collect funds survivors of miners who die. George H.
