Entire County to Be
Tested for Bangs
Disease in Cattle
Partial Test by Veterinarians
Shows Slight Increase in
InfeStatiOn

Because of an increase in infesta-
ton of Bang's disease among cattle
a test of the entire county is now
being conducted, according to John H.
Carter, county agent.
Two or three months ago two vet
crinarians began a routine test of 20
percent of the cattle so that Garrett
county could maintain its rating as a
modified accredited area, To keep that
rating there must be less than one
half of one percent of infected cows.
According to Mr.. Carter the tests in
these areas selected at random showed
a slightly higher percentage so it was
decided to make a test Of the whole
county, and it was felt that the ac-
credited rating could be maintained.
Instead of two veterinarians there
are now four at work and the testing
will not be completed before October.
1t was estimated there were more
than $4,000 head of cattle in the coun-
ty.
Mr.. Carter said it would not be
necessary for any farmer to make APP
plication for the test as the veterinar-
ians would cover the entire county,
but if a farmer was missed in GER
tain area, then to notify the county
agents office.
All animals found to be infected will
be designated for slaughter and the
difference between the price obtained
and the appraised price, if sold below
appraised price, will be borne equally
by the owner, the federal and state
governments.

SULFA DRUGS SAVE LIVES OF
 MANY WOUNDED

Denver, Aug. 7.-Revolutionary methods of treating war wounds which already have saved the lives of hundreds of soldiers and other new surgical discoveries have been taken back to all corners of Amer ica by doctors who attended the annual convention of the Interna- tional College of Surgeons in Dem yer.
 A means of setting and healing fractures without casts, use of sulfa drugs in prevention of infections, a delicate spinal operation stopping chronic pain and 8 simple new dressing which checks external hemorrhages quickly-all these dis coveries of the past year were laid before the attending delegates.
 At Pearl Harbor and in the Eu- ropean war theater, sulfonamides have saved countless lives by pre- venting the spread of infection in wounds, Dr. Arnold s. Jackson of Madison. Wis, told the assembly. He said the discovery and develop ment of Sulfa-drugS marks one of the most brilliant episodes in mod ern surgery.
 Dr. Roger Anderson, Seattle sur- geon, explained his new castless re- pair of fracture which he says, en- ableS doctors to treat soldiers on the battlefield and have them ready to walk away on crutches in less than half an hour with the bone already beginning to mend. Ander- sons treatment consists of setting the bone through use of portable X-ray equipment and holding the break together with light metal pins and braces.
 The attending doctors were deep- ly interested in the report of Nicho- lai N. Burdenko, chief surgeon of the Russian armies. who radioed the assembly that the mortality of Russian army wounded has been reduced to less than half of World War I figures. His radiogram. sent after he was awarded a fellowship in the college, said that 70 per cent of the Red Army wounded have been returned to the front line.
 Harvey Sethman, executive sec- retary of the Colorado State Med- ical society, predicted that every able bodied American doctor under 45 will be serving with US. armed forces before the year Is out.

NO MACHINE GUNS
 FOR STATE GUARD

Hartford, Conn, August ?. = (UP)-Adjutant General Reginald B. Delacour said today the war pro duction board has denied the Con- necticut, State Guard permission to buy 1000 Thompson submachine guns and 5O0 GOO rounds of amnuni- tion for wartime duties.
 Application for priority ratings for these armament recently was made by State Purchasing Director Edward 0. Geissler, at the request of General Delacour and Governor Hurley.
 General Delacour said the present equipment of the State Guard was insufficient to cope with any "in- vasion by parachuters."
 He said the guard now had 8 few shotguns and machine. guns, which probably would be unable to deal with the armament of an in- VaSion force.

DETROIT TURNS TO WOMEN FOR
 LABOR SUPPLY
BY ANTHONY G. DeLORENZO United Press Staff COrrespondent)

DA AIN AOAN1 ". DCAOhENAO United Press Staff Correspondent
 Detroit, Aug. - CU.PD - House. wives will be called upon soon to volunteer for jobs in Detroit,s ex- banding war plants.
 Officials of WIPE and the United States Employment Service esti- mate that as many as 80,0C0 wo- men will be needed for war work between now and November. Ad- ditional thousands will be called during 1943.
 All available estimates indicate that labor requirements of the war vital automotive industry are far above labor supply. Ernest Kanz- Ter regional WIPE chief, said 560,- 900 workers now are employed in the Detroit area manufacturing plants. Among them are 10000 women
 Register All Women Over 18
 By September, according to Kanzler, employment should reach 630,000 He estimates Detroit event. ually will require 740,00O workers for peak arms production.
 One of the first steps to cushion the impending shortage of male workers will be a registration of all women over 18, regardless of whether they now are employed, during the week of August 10. It is the first survey of its kind ever attempted in a major war produc- tion area and doubtless will serve as guide in other areas where the labor supply problem may become acute.
 Sponsored by the WIPE and the federal employment service, the registration will cover approxi- mately 65O000 women in the De- troit area-Wayne, Oakland, Ma comb and Washtenaw counties. Mail carriers will deliver the regis tration records to homes and apart ments.
 Thousands Now Learning
 The cards ask each registrant if she is available for war work, either full or part time; the types of work she prefers; and whether, if she IS mother, she will accept work if nursery school care is provided for her children.
 Lack of training or experience, the instructions explain, is no seri- ous barrier to obtaining war work. Thousands of Detroit women al- ready are being trained in classes sponsored by the board of educa- ton.
 The registration of women should provide an ample reservoir that can be utilized when all avail- able manpower has been exhausted. There now are approximately 10 men for every woman employed in Detroit area manufacturing plants, but this ratio is expected to rise sharply within the next few months.
