and his wet, unopened parachute
was still on. I suppose the chemi-
cally inflated life jacket was what
prevented him from unloosening the
parachute. Wet, it weighed sc

Therapy involved in treating

sists of immobilizing, or collapsing,

and permitting the injured tissue
to heal, it is pointed out.
Included in the program as re-
quested by many Alaska physicians
will be supplying such physicians as
desired, with experience in the most
advanced methods of surgical pro-
cedures, as we'll as equipment for
doing the operations, both in their
own offices or in Territorial hos

INDECENT Care
Medical indigents will be served
by local physicians who. will be
paid a fee from funds that are
supplied for that purpose, De-
partment of Health official ex-
plains.
1T is thought that this is about
the only plan of action adaptable
to this most important health prob
lem in Alaska, since large scale
disqualification for long term cases
cannot be considered until possibly
following the war; the official
states.
1t is expected that shortly after
Dr. Hendrickson's arrival he will
start to work in the Southeast area
of Alaska Although he will him
self determine the length of time
to be spent in the various COM
munities, it is anticipated that a
month will be necessary for him
to perform the first work in the
larger communities.
Personal Background
Most recently superintendent Of
the large Lake Park, Mimi, SAM
tarium, operated for the treatment
of tubercular patients, DR.. Hen
erickson, who at the age Of "a has
become a leader in his field, saw
IN the problem which confronts
Alaska such a challenge that he
agreed to come to the Territory
even though at some sacrifice to
himself.
"A most important step in the
protection of the public health in
Alaska" is one physicians COM
ment upon the expected arrival of
the specialist, who was selected
after careful consideration of a
relatively large number of accom-
plished tuberculosis clinicians. Con-
ferences between Dr. Hendrickson
and DR.. George Hays, liaison Off
Ger for the Health Department,
upon the latter's visit in Washing
ton, d. c., formed the basis for
the arrangement.
At present Dr. Hendrickson is in

Teen Age Driving
Rules Explained

To clarity in the minds of these
youngsters just why restricted driv-
ing permits will be issued, Commits
sioner Elgin said, Il have been given
the authority by an act of legisla-
ture as an emergency measure to as
sist farm operations, to grant special
permits to youngsters IA and Is
years of age. These permits will
only be granted to operate motor
vehicle within the particular farm
area where the applicant may live
or work, and should it be necessary
for the motor vehicle or farm imple-
ment which the youth is operating
to be moved from one farm to an
other, which would mean crossing
congested areas, main highways, or
through cities or towns, it will be
necessary for licensed motor We
hicle operator over 16 years of age
to operate this equipment in place
of the IA and Is year old youth
when this law was asked for by
the Farm Bureau Association, all
that was requested was that IA and
Is year old drivers would be issued
a permit to operate farm equipment
in connection with farm work with
in the farm area itself. Further
more, it was plainly understood with
the Bureau that the law gave the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles the
power to designate the farm roads
and lanes where the holders of these
permits can drive and at no time
will they be permitted to drive be-
yond the area specified on their per-
nit" Commissioner Elgin stated
that he wanted it thoroughly under
stood that at no time should the IA
and Is year old youths drive other
than in the area stipulated Devia-.
ton from this will mean an imme-
diate revocation of the permit of the
person to whom it was issued. He
/ further stated that he wanted to i'm
press strongly the Importance of this
law being carried out to the letter
as a safety factor along Maryland
highways. 1t must be remembered
that any negligence on the part of
the IA and Is year old driver of a
motor vehicle would mean that the
endorser of the youths application
would be jointly and severity liable,
as well as the minor, for any dam
ages caused by their negligence.

New Telephone
Directory Out

The new Hagerstown and vicinity
telephone directory forms an essen
tial tool for making today's tele-
phone service work both smoothly
and efficiently. There's no plot to
it, but there's plenty of personal in
terest. There's difference in every
line, but yet there's little variety
until one reaches the classified pages
where modern life is pictured as
completely as in an encyclopedia.
Mr.. j. c. Bondurant, manager of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company of Baltimore City
here, states again that the cover of
the new telephone directory carries
the urgent request not to use the
telephone during or Immediately af-
ter an air raid alarm.
More than $3.50 copies of this new
directory will be delivered in Ha-
gerstown and vicinity. This direc-
tory also contains the listings of
subscribers at Clear Spring, Han
cock, Highfeld, Keedysville, Smiths
burg, Williamsport and connecting
company subscribers at Blue Ridge
Summit, Pa.

elf popularity is a factor in the successful
management of the Office of Economic Sta
bilization, Judge Frederick M. Vinson, its new
director. has the job well under way.
sHe has many friends among both Repub-
lican and Democratic factions who know him
as a congenial political character who studies
legislation in which he has an interest with
the care of lawyer and the accuracy of a
mathematician.
Vinson was born in 1890 in Louisa, KY. He
demonstrated his scholastic ability by helping
to send himself through college by teaching
mathematics while he took law course.
Vinson began his political career as city at
torney for his native town. In 1923 he was
elected to congress, stayed there until 1928
the year of the Hoover landslide-but came
back in the next election and remained there
until 1887 when he became associate justice
# the United States Court of Appeals in the
District of Columbia.
Ellis popularity has not been earned by be-
