To Rhondda Fach
By J. W. TAYLOR
World War has come to the little Rhondda Valley Rhondda Fach of Wales. It is an all-out attack on tuberculosis- on the grand scale, and the Rhondda Fach army is 30,000 strong. They are the men, women -and-children of the Valley who know something of the ravages of pneu
moconiosis among the mineworkers. They know, too, that the Rhondda Fach has been chosen by the Medical Research Council, with Government backing, as the scene of the first attempt in world medical history to isolate a community and rid it of tuberculosis, The experiment will be miners live in the Valley-300! based on the simple theory at Mondy, 700 m Ferndale, 800 Tvlustown, uml 800 at Watts- that if every tuberculosis town. sufferer is detected and pre-
