Postwar Medical Service

The National Conference on Planning
for War and Postwar Medical Service,
under the auspices of the Carlos Finlay
Institute of the Americas, met in New York
City on March Is to mobilize medical re-
sources. This is the most pretentious and
potentially important effort made by medi-
cine and supporting industries toward that
end
Our young men are scattered in every
country on earth. Our ships and airplanes
reach every part of the globe. AS they will
all be potential carriers to this country of
various diseases the Importance of such a
meeting as this is self evident.
Among the topics discussed by authori-
ties at the meeting were "War and the
Migration of Tropical Diseases" "Epidemi-
ologv of Influenza" "Malaria-a World
Menace" "Nutritional Diseases as Post
war Problem "Postwar Need for Medical
and other Trained Personnel, POSTWAR
Channeling of Drugs and other Medical
SUPPLIES" friends in Scientific Research"
"The Health Problems Of the Americas"
"Health-a World Problem" ''The Place
of the American Red Cross in Medical Re-
habilitation," and "American Medicines
Contribution to the Postwar World"
Leaders in our medical profession, our
universities, our armed services, and our
drug and medical supply industries took
part in this meeting
AS a people, we can be thankful that
such resources for the alienation Of human
suffering, now center in this nation, and
that our country can be leader in plan
ming for postwar medical services.

Prevent Rabies

Through the efforts of DR.. Robert King,
district health officer, and other county
officials and community leaders, plans are
being worked out to have all dogs of this
county vaccinated. Such a movement de-
serves the support and cooperation of
everyone
The vaccination of dogs against rabies
has long been state law, but has required
local enforcement A number of reliable
citizens have been appointed to carry on
the vaccination work in the various town
ships and the costs of vaccination is COM
paratively little.
Rabies is one of the worst maladies
known to man and it is only through the
vaccination Of dogs that this can be kept
down. Not only is the vaccination Of dogs
against rabies vital toward the saving of
human life, but the humane thing to do
as far as the dogs themselves are concern
ed
Let's all cooperate and have all dogs of
this county vaccinated against rabies.

Need OF Victory Gardens

There was a time when many people
regarded gardens as a routine and others
as a hobby, but comparatively few, as
vital necessity. That is what Victory Car
dens have become, today.
With the increased food demands Of this
war, more and better Victory Gardens
should be the goal of all who are in the
position to produce their own food supplies
in order to reduce the demand for canned
goods and fresh vegetables.
AS the war goes on fewer canned goods
are finding their way to the shelves OF the
grocery shelves and more and more people
should realize that they should make an
effort to produce some Of their own food
in fact as nearly all of it as possible. Even
a small plot turned into Victory Garden
will be Of some help. People, who have
never made gardens before should be doing
so this year And people who have always
made gardens should make an effort to
grow bigger and better one this year
Printed elsewhere in this paper today are
a number of helpful suggestions for Vic
tory Gardens Let's all do our part toward
victory by planting a Victory Garden!

Still Short OF Our Coal

Surely we will not let it be said Of the
people of this county that they failed to
meet the challenge of the Red Cross in
raising the assigned quota.
Yet the month of March, designated by
the President of the United States for the
Red Cross War Fund Drive is quickly slip
ping by, and this county is still far short
of it's quota. There are many who have
contributed and many who have not To
those who have not made a contribution
we say, Don't delay, give today" And
those, who have already made contribu-
lions, but feel like they did not give quite
enough, still have time to increase this
When the second front was scheduled
for North Africa, did our boys lag behind?
They did not and on that front many Of
them are giving their all right now. Is it
too much to ask that we give literally, here
on the home front to the Red Cross, which
is doing SO much for the men in service?
Already reports are coming in 'missing in
action" Doesn't the seriousness Of the stu
alton convince you that you should make
your gift a generous one?

Congress, Please Note

We hope that the present interest Of the
President and of congress in a Social Sc
curity plan for after the war won't take
their attention from the most important
social security need of the day-that of
winning the war.
It is difficult to hazard a guess as to
what conditions will be like in this country
during the postwar period. We could
have a great business depression or we
could have an era of prosperity which
would give us the highest standard of liv-
ing ever known to man. Which we have
can depend to large extent on what the
government and business men do about it
now.
We still have long hard job to do to
win the war; Let's not get sidetracked in
our thinking by spending too much time
dreaming about what we'll do when it is

Dairvmen are urged to make
definite plans now for producing
sufficient corn silage and con-
struct silos if they do not already
have one to feed their COWS, as
we'll as other cattle through next
winter. Orders should be placed
for ensilage corn now and start
building or repairing sllos dur
ing slack seasons.
Protein concentrates are high
and scarce and we cannot produce
much milk unless we have the
protein content of the dairy ra-
ton kept up. Good quality le-
gume hay will help supply this
much needed protein in the ra-
ton. More lespedeza hay could
be produced on most farms which
makes an excellent hay for dairy
COWS, sheep or beef cattle. Soy
beans makes an excellent hay
crop, containing a very high pro-
tein content. Many dairymen in
the county have records to prove
that soybeans, lespedeza or any
other good quality legume hay
has cut down the cost of milk pro-
duction by lowering the grain
concentrate requirements.
Poultry Suggestions: If you
have not already booked your
baby chick order, do so at once
as many hatcheries are now
booked through April. Order
your chicks now and not wait
until you are ready for them be
fore starting to look around.
More care should be taken of
eggs between the time they leave
the nest and market to cut down
heavy losses in deterioration.
Eggs should be gathered from the
nest, at least three times a day,
in wire baskets, and placed in a
fairly moist yet ventilated base
.ment, cellar or insulated room
They should be left in the wire
baskets over night to permit
cooling before they are packed
in cases. Always place the lit

NAOMA DARE BURGESS

Naoma Dare Burgess, daughter
Of Mr. and Mrs. Alton Burgess,
was born January 2, 1923 and
died March 10, 1913, age IA years,
8 months and II days. When
about three years of age, Dare
was seriously burned. For weeks
she fingered near deaths door.
Finally she made a partial re-
covery. Since that time, she has
been handicapped, and slightly
under-developed, physically.
A few weeks ago, she was talk
en- sick. Patiently she bore the
weeks of intense suffering. When
her father and mother had to
leave the bedside for a few min
utes, she would ask them to kiss
her. After she was too weak to
talk, she would indicate that she
wanted to be loved like a child.
1t is hard for us to understand
why God takes away the young
at time when life is just begin
ming to unfold for them. But He
knows best. We bow in humble
submission to His will. Some day
we will know and understand.
Dare enjoyed going to church,
and when ever she could, she
went. We are sure she knew no
sin and we are satisfied that she
is in the better world, waiting to
bid a welcome to those loved
ones she left behind.
Dare will be missed by her
mother, father, aged grandmoth-
er, two little sisters, and a little
brother in the home; two other
grandparents and a host of rela-
tives and friends.
If Dare could speak to us to-
day, we are sure she would not
say, II want to come back to YOU,
but would say, "Come up and
share this glorious place with
me-"
