The device being held In the top picture by Michael Boam, tool and dye instructor at Post Schools, is his modified' version' of the Stader splint, in which steel pins are shown piercing a representation of a broken bone. This splint, named after its inventor, " enables men with broken bones and fractures to be up and about in from three days to a week while healing takes place. Before this, bone injuries kept men in bed for weeks and months until their bones were sufficiently healed. The Stader splint does away with the use of cumbersome casts. Not yet in general use, all medical detachments acompanying units leaving this field for overseas combat are assured a set of six splints, completely contained in a kit that may be carried in barracks bag. Made entirely on this field by mechanic learners, the sets are constructed from scrap, such as the scrap steel slab held by Mr. Boam in the bottom photo. Under his supervision, the mechanic learners here can turn out a set in a week. Thus, while learning their trades, these student mechanic learners are producing an item of invaluable aid for fighting men. The Stader splint essentially consists of adjustable steel pins which are drilled through the bone on both sides of the break, thus tightly holding the broken bone In the position desired. It is believed that outfits leaving here for foreign duty are the only ones in the army equipped with this modern type of splint. New Survey Shows Avera ge Hill ' Field Family Has 1.91 Children analysis of the Information-- gathered by the Payroll Branch of the Civilian Personnel Section for Tax Records has revealed some interesting statistics. The Employes Relation Branch has classified and analyzed the questionnaires which were filled out by An Of the 2512 families in which' one parent is working there are 4873 children. Of these 4412 children are living with their parents and 461 are living with the other parent in another ctiy or state where the parent's home was originally. It is Interesting to note that in the 2512 families which have one parent working the male parent is the one who is earning the family bread. So perhaps the great increase in female employment due to the war has not yet caused the woman to wear the pants in the , family. The age distribution of children affected by working parents follows: 0- - 1 years 971 children 2- - 5 1858 children years 1906 children years 11-1425 children years.. 7 1009 children years given to Lieut.
