BETTER SOCIAL SECURITY


The proposed new social securl-
~ embodying permanent and tenn.
porsry disability payments and
disqualification for all workers. is
unlike the British Beveridge plan
in one respect. It does not include
marriage or child bounties.
Studies. called for by President
Roosevelt, envision ultimate pay
ments equal to between 10 and II
per cent OF the total American pay
roll, half to be paid by employers
and half by employees.
The program would liberalizs the
social security system 10 take in
all employed persons IN the United
States, Is well as self-employeds,
such as store owners. doctors. etc.
Benefits would be paid to all, re-
gardless of economic need.
An important part Of the plan
would be the liberalization OF un-
employment compensation, to be
administered with the aid OF region
al and local advisory boards. IN
der the present system, unemploy-
ment compensation II controlled
by the several state governments,
operating under federal grants.

place. Wounds remain about the
same. The new diseases are due
10 different forms Of exposure.
The latest To be added is i'm
mersion foot" caused by long i'm
mersion Of the feet in cold water
on q raft or rubber life boat or,
in fact, any kind of boat after tor
pedoing at sea.
1t need not be limited to the
feet. An exactly similar condition
was described by Surgeon Ungley,
B.M.C., which affected the I'M
gloved hand of an sirman who
had lain exposed twenty-four
hours on a mountain.
Any part Of the skin can be
affected. The reason the hands
and feet get it the worst is that
the construction Of the clothing
helps bring on the condition and
makes it worse. A sailor lands on
a raft more or less unconscious,
an aviator falls free Of his plane,
unconscious, and the tight wrist
band of the latter is not loosened,
so that when the hand begins to
swell from the cold the circulation
is shut of.
Symptoms
The hand or foot becomes numb
as exposure continues and does
not respond normally to rubbing.
When the men reach q base hos
pital there are pain, tingling, Itch
ing, swelling and colo- changes.
Sometimes the extremity turns
yellow, sometimes . vivid red.
The feet feel woody and numb.
They complain it is as if "they
were walking on cotton wool"
The first stage gives way to .
second in which redness and tin
Cling and sensitiveness to cold
predominant and finally there is q
residual stage; they are able to
use the hands and feet and have
no pain and tingling, but they
have a terrible time warming the
hand or foot up If they come into
warm room from unusual cold.
Treatment consists in very care
full nursing so that the hands or
feet are not allowed to hang free
or be handled roughly, or have
any kind of restriction on them.
They are warmed gradually and
grease and oil are used as a pro-
tective, literally. Massage is bad
for them. The feet should be left
free Of dressings and elevated at
first; later alternately raised and
lowered.
Akin TO Chilblain
Immersion foot" like the "shel-
ter leg" / wrote about . week or
so ago, and which is described by
London physicians as occurring in
those sleeping in a damp and bad
ly ventilated shelter, are much
akin to ordinary chilblain.
The blood vessels Of the feet (as
well as the rest Of the body are
controlled by the automatic nerv-
Gus system, which contracts them
in response to cold and relaxes
them in response TO heat. This is
a defense mechanism: when con-
tracted, the blood will not lose too
much heat; when dilated, the part
will lose heat, as on a hot day, and
prevent heat stroke.
But the hands and feet, being
farthest away from the action Of
the heart and nervous system, are
more likely to get out Of whack
when the causative environment
is long enough continued.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
". D. L.: Is cancer inherited
My grandparents did not have it
but my mother did.
Answer: You are giving your
self unnecessary trouble. 1t is
probable that some cancers are in
herited, but human heredity is so
mixed that it would be impossible
to determine beforehand in any
given case whether q person was
likely 10 inherit cancer or not.
