'WORRIES' your, friend and neighbor, INDUSTRY COMES TO RESCUE OF CITIES IN THROES OF PARALYSIS EPIDEMIC American industrys war produc- tion is only a part of its wartime achievements, and research for peacetime use is not entirely a matter of the future, as two cities discovered when they were faced with infantile paralysis epidemics last August. For during the epidemic, engineers of a large company went to a work immediately? and developed electric machine, washing special which made possible a speedier application of the Sister Kenny treatment. The machines, which have an electrical heating unit in the tub in place of the agitator used for cleaning clothes, speed up the heating and wringing of the heavy woolen cloths, known as packs which are wrapped about the patient to relieve the pain and reduce the muscular spasms. The only machines of their kind in the East, they are now being used in New England hospitals, where, according to one doctor, they have helped to relieve the critical shortage of nurses. Where twelve nurses were required to apply packs to four patients, nine are now needed. At another hospital, it was reported that use of the machine now permits a daily average of six applications of packs to the sixteen children under treatment, compared with two or possibly three administered under the old method. The old method of heating and wringing packs was a tedious manual job in which the cloths were heated in a tub of water on a stove, then carried through hospital corridors to e a wringer y where they were squeezed as much as possible. The electric wringer, in addition to bringing water to a boiling point in quick time, has been speeded up and its pressure increased to 700 pounds, wringing the woolen packs so dry that even though heated to 180 they may be applied without danger of skin burns to the child. home-styl- de-gre- ev POSTWAR PLANS FOR GOVERNMENT PLANTS To be added to important ideas and plans now under way is the testimony of Jestse Jones, Federal Loan Administrator and Secretary of Commerce, before the House Small Business Committee. He told the Committee, which is considering the postwar disposal of surplus government property, that the 7 billions dollars worth of government-owned plants should not be peqpi'itted to compete with private enterprise after the war. Mr. Jones said definitely that he favors legislation that would give local industry the first chance to buy these plants and convert them to the manufacture of peacetime goods. Furher, he asserted, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would be ready to help local business purchase plants after the government had no further use for them. " These plants should not be sacrificed or junked, he said, by and large they can be used for manufacturing things necessary for our peacetime economy. Plans made now for postwar disposal of these plants are by no means premature. They are necessary from the point of view both of the busi- nessman and the taxpayer. The businessman must know if he will have to face government competition. And more important, the taxpayer should know now so that he will not later find these public plants dumped on the market to be sold wholesale to designing persons who hope to make fortunes at government expense. Sane planning now for orderly later will prevent either astrous aftermath. posal disdis- EMPLOYMENT INTERVIEWS HELP SOLVE ABSENTEEISM New York, N. Y. (IPS) A conservative absentee rate of 5 per cent, which seems to be an acceptable figure, yields a total of two and a half million workers absent from work each day, declared Harvey Saul, Director of Indu.srt.rial Relations of the National Association of Manufacturers. Speaking on absenteeism in industry before a meeting of the National Wholesale Druggists AssoMr. Squl discussed such ciation, justifiable causes of absence as illness, transportation breakdowns, court summonses, and searching for places to live. Management has already done a considerable amount of work to prevent absenteeism through illness, Mr. Saul asserted. As for the other factors, many problems that would cause absenteeism often are solved by management when prospective employees are first interviewed. The employee is asked about transportation, home responsibilities, etc., and an attempt is made to provide for any evigencies which might require him to stay on the job. Management has found remedies for absenteeism in setting up rationing facilities within the establishment, banking facilities for cashing checks, local cashiers to receive payments for gas and electric light bills, to say nothing of beauty parlors, Federal Reserve System Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation barber shops, and branch stores for the handy distribution of common he said. It is not unnecessities, common these days to find groups of employees, aided by their emneighborhood ployers, requesting stores and shops to change their hours for the greater convenience of these patrons. DR. H. CRANDALL DENTIST - UTAH 9 to 12 a. m. - 1:30 to 6 p. m. FROM THE BOTTOM UP Along with the acceleration of the action of our troops on the battle fronts, is The increasing volume of postwar ideas which are coming from our nations leaders. Now is the time for all Americans to study carefully the views of these men and women, for it may not be too long before we shall be leaning on them as we make important decisions. Governor Leverett Saltonstall of in an article in the Massachusetts, News Washington Digest, has this to of the say postwar picture: The average citizen will look to the postwar world to provide him with a job. Jobs are the basis for all home and family life. They are symbols of the best type of democracy. While the retooling from war to peace is in progress, the citizen will expect his government to take up the slack of unemployment. But the citizen will have to look to private industry as the main source of jobs. This means a challenge to all individuals and groups to exercise the same initiative and imagination in creating tools and new machines in time of peace as we do in war. This country has been built from the bottom up, and not from the top down. Let us keep it so! The individual citizen wants to feel that he is the most important consideration in his governments mind. With regard to centralization of power in the federal government, Governor Saltonstall continues: Local and state governments are close to the people. They always have been and always will be. The very best kind of government is the old town meeting where a man could blow off steam once a year. When peace is declared, Washington must again become the bridge of our Ship of Slate not all the gun turrets, P0CKETB002C 0ECMOWLE1DXEE - Office Hours: engine room, and galley combined. . . The most effective help which Americans have known from 1620 to 1943 is help to help themselves.

During 25 combat missions she was battered by flak and slashed by machine gun bullets. She has had nine new engines, a new right wing to replace one shot away in action, and a new tail assembly for one torn to shreds by cannon fire. This flying fortress was returned to the United States last June to show American people how American planes could stand up in modern warfare. Following her tour, the flying fortress was assigned to a heavy bombardment group in Nebraska to help train fledgling airmen who hope soon to go overseas themselves. After a major overhaul job, the Memphis Belle again will be used in training airmen. A FLOWER NECKLACE TTME - SAUNA |
