Heat Exhaustion and Sunstroke
Require Immediate Treatment

ture. Fever may reach very
high levels. This condition calls
for prompt removal of the victim
TO a hospital and professional
care. In the meantime, cold
sprays, sponges, and ice packs
should be applied.
Heavy muscular eXertion in 4
hot, humid place provides the
background for heat cramps.
This state is characterized by
painful cramps or spasms IN
YolYing various groups of mus
cles - in the extremities, in the
abdominal wall, along the in
testinal tract, etc They may
be relieved by rest and replac-
ing the salt and water lost from
the body in profuse perspira-
ton. Most industries provide
salt solution at regular intervals
for workers who must labor in
an excessively hot place.
PREVENT OVERHEATING
The most effective ways to
prevent the unhappy aftermath
of oVerheating are: light. sim
pie diet; avoidance of cxertion
plenty of water TO drink. light
airy clothing; protection from
the direct rays of the sun, a
proper circulation Of the air to
assist in the evaporation Of
sweat from the skin, and an
adequate intake of salt TO re-
place that lost in sweat.

Attu
Continued from Page One

/ fighting. which began week
ago with an American invasion
of the L S. island which the
enemy had held since last June,
was made only about an hour
after the Navy had issued It's
first detailed lcommunique on
this initial stroke TO smash the
Japanese hold on the western
AlcutianS.
One paragraph in the COM
munique said that the American
forces were advancing against
stubborn enc envy resistance
from uuuCrous -frttte4 al fe-- Z 49,
nests and that the enemy troops
n q "entrenched themselves
along a rocky ridge"
As soon as neWsmon gathered
IN his office, Knox noted that the
communique had been issued
and said we now have word
that our troops have captured
that ridge and have driven the
enemy out--We are now in pos
session of the ridge "
The extent of enemy resist
ance from now on appeared to
depend on whether the Japanese
troops which held the ridge had
retreated 10 new and less favor
able positions or whether they
were killed or captured.
SPLITS ISLAND
The ridge runs along the main
axis Of Attu island in an east and
west direction. To the north of
the ridge is Holtz Bay and to
the south is Massacre Bay. One
Of the American landings was
made al Holtz Bay and the other
at Massacre Bay.
The pincers began TO close in
from the two initial beach
heaCs and Knox said il was his
understanding that the main
enemy defense force in the re
gion south of Holtz Bay was
smashed by the Massacre Bay
landing expedition, which he de
scribed as the main American
force.
Once the American line is
established it would definitely
pocket the enemy in the relative
~ small area at the eastern end
OF Attu and the job would be-
come one of Wiping out his in
stallatlons which are chiefly To-
Gated IN the vicinity of Holtz
Bay and Chichagof Harbor, a
few miles TO the east.
Knox said that so far as he
knows the rest of the island

out military significance and

D. In spite of unfavorable
W e h er conditions, United
States Army planes have car
RED out several bombings and

landings were made. Our troops
