article, are making plans TO estab-
lish a central bureau where peo-
pie who need a doctor can call.
But it is likely that very often
there will be no doctor available
and it is generally believed that
the public must be educated TO de-
eide whether they have an emer-
gency condition or whether they
have a condition which is not
dangerous and can wait until the
next day or when the doctor is
available in his Office or at the
hospital.
l mentioned some symptoms
which constitute an emergency
and / would like to enlarge on
this:
Fever.-Every household should
have a thermometer available and
someone who has been taught how
to read it. The body temperature
is one Of the most stable signs in
health. A temperature above 1922
automatically becomes an emer-
gency. A temperature of 99' to
99.5', if persisted in day after
day, needs investigation but is not
an emergency. Most people have
a slight elevation in the after
noon at the end Of the days ac-
tivity but it should not go above
90.
Bleeding
Abnormal discharge Of blood
from any orifce Of the body ex-
cept the nose constitutes an emer-
gency. Nosebleed is only an emer-
gency when it persists to the point
Of bleeding for over two hours.
But it should be investigated, if it
continues, whenever doctor is
available.
A fall or injury which results
in pain, swelling and disability
around a joint or an extremity,
which persists for "a hours, may
be called a semi-emergency. Do
not comfort yourself with the idea
that these III -g5MB7sssssarily ere
sprains.
Abdominal pain which continues
for eight hours or increases in
severity is decidedly an emer-
gency, especially if it is persistent

Gen. Charles P. Summerall, retired,
chairman of the Florida Ship Canal
Authority, wrote Eastern States
Governors yesterday that the petro-
leum shortage in their States could
be relieved completely within 10
months by building the trans
Florida barge canal.
Gen. SummerallS letter was re-
ported in an announcement by w. F.
Coachman. executive secretary of
the canal authority.
In his letter, Gen. Summerall
said the canal had been authorized
by Congress last summer and that a
number of large construction con-
Germs had made offers to complete
the project within 10 months. The
canal, he said, would connect the
Gulf and Atlantic intracoastal
waterways.
Traffic through that system, he
said, would supply the entire pc
troleum needs of the Eastern States
without rationing within 10 months
after the work is begun"

Ban on Sliced Bread
Takes Effect Today
To Bar Price Boost
Housewives Instructed
On How to Sow Loaf
To Prevent Waste

1t might have sounded silly to
grandma, but to the modern house
wife bit Of advice on how to slice
a loaf of bread is as timely as a
recipe for meatless hash.
Whether she likes it or not, she
is going to have to do her own
bread slicing beginning today.
Bakers have been ordered by the
Office of Price Administration, with
the approval of Food Administrator
Wickard, to deliver bread in one
piece hereafter. The savings effect
ed will absorb the increase in the
ceiling price of flour, granted by the
OPA.
The most successful way to carve
bread, bakers say, is to place the
loaf on its side to prevent shredding.
Then take a sharp knife-if it has
small saw-teeth, so much the better.
Place the knife where you want it
to cut and start saWing-gently.
Don't bear down or the loaf will
shred.
Mr.. Wickard said he didn't think
housewives would mind slicing bread
If it helped to prevent a price in
crease. Bakers not only are going
to save labor costs, but they won't
have to replace metal parts on slic-
ing machines and they can wrap
their loaves in a single thickness
Of paper instead of using two or
three wrappers to hold the loaf to-
gether.
Bakers also are required to limit
the bread and rolls they make in
a week and to stop selling bread
to grocers on consignment. Restau-
rants using large loaves still will
get sliced bread for a while. Later,
1t was expected, the restaurants
may begin to buy up the sncing

Marine Flyers Bluff
Attacking zeros After
Ammunition Runs Out
Four Dive Bombers Shot
Down, Pilots Head
Straight at New Foes
BY the Associated Press.

bF Lhe Associated Press,
GUADALCANAL, Jan. 5 de-
layed) Their ammunition gone
after shooting down four Japanese
dive bomberS and leaving three
others smoking, four United States
marine fighter pilots were attacked
today by large formation of
Zeros-and how they bluffed their
way out of this hot spot is an
epochal story from Guadalcanals
Henderson Field.
The four young flyers-outnum-
bered three to one-outsmarted the
japanese by turning their planes
directly into the zeros, pretending
thus to be delivering an attack
though their guns were without
sting. They got away uninjured
but their planes were full Of holes
and they chafe now that they're
living on borrowed time.
The pilots are Capt. Gregg Loesch,
%, of Montrose, Colo. 1t. William
P. Marontate, %, of Seattle; 1t.
Frank H. (SkeeziX) Presley, %, of
Encinitas, Calf, and 1t. Jack B.
Clifford, %, of Cleveland.
Flying Grumman fighters, they
were patrolling west of Guadalcanal
when they saw to 10 japanese
dive bombers attacking American
warships. The warShips had shelled
the Japanese airdrome at Munda,
New Georgia, in the dark of early
morning and were speeding south
ward when attacked.
Threw Up Blanket of Shells.
The ships threw up heavy blan-
ket of anti-aircraft shells and the
attacking dive bombers failed to hit
them.
I'VE couldn't get there in time to
stop the ship attack, but we sure
piled into them in hurry after
that" 1t. Maronate said.
On the way home, after dispensing
the Japs, I'VE ran into this pack of
about IL Zeros, which were of the
new type 2, somewhat larger and
faster than the old oneS," Capt,
Leosch said.
There wasn't much we could do
but bluff and fake attacks. When
a Zero started to dive on one of
us the guy in the next plane along
the line would pull up and turn into
the oncoming Jap. The Jap wouldn't
like Grumman's nose staring him
in the face and he'd pull away.
This would throw them off until the
next dive and save us a chance to
gain bit of distance toward home.

GUADALCANAL, Jan. IL de
layed) A Flying Fortress crew to-
day braved heavy japanese fire to
take food, water and ammunition
to 200 American infantrymen who
captured an important hill on
Guadalcanal so far ahead of sched-
ule they had outdistanced their
supplies.
The men had been without food
and water for two days.
They were scheduled to take the
hill in eight days, but they went
in with machine guns blazing and
after two and a half days of bitter
fighting had the objective in hand
But they were surrounded by JapS.
The only way supplies could be
sent to the Americans by land was
by an uncertain two-day trip
through the jungle.
In desperation, the infantry COM
mander went to Capt. w. H. Rath-
bun of Waterloo, Iowa, the Fortress
pilot, and asked if he would under
take dangerous mission.

Other Loads Delivered.
Other crew members standing by
the side of matches and doors were
heaving foodstuffs oversize as fast
as possible, for at the rate the
bember was going they only had
four seconds over the hill.
Backward and forward the plane
zoomed until the load was dumped.
Then it returned to Henderson Field
to load up again and repeat the
performance three more times until
enough supplies for several days had
been delivered to the hilltop.
On the second trip some baskets
fell in ravine near the Japs and
the hilltop commander sent a patrol
after it. They encountered Jap
anese in the ravine and the infantry
commander ordered artillery to shell
the spot.
Capt. RathbunS bomber flew
through that barrage just as it did
through the heavy fire of the Japs.
The bomber's crew returned safely.
None was wounded and there were
few holes in the ship.

Political and industrial leaders in recent months have
been making great use of the phrase, "Know-How."
But no one has bothered to explain it.
American Know How is a combination of things. 1t
is our congomeration of races, welded together by
great national spirit 1t is American training in
mechanics; it is the millions of American boys who
drive automobiles and work with tools, who play with
electric trains and make model airplanes. 1t is
system of education, giving each boy the training
needed to enable him to take his part in national
industrial economy. 1t is that economy itself
economy of free enterprise wherein every boy has
chance to become Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler,
Thomas Edison. 1t is the American system of incen
tive, which permits the lowest laborer to become
foreman, superintendent, president of his
company 1t is the ability of the in the American
factory do things just little bit better than any
other man in the world can do them.
And it is American industrial management, fitting
into their proper inches the men of the country,
determining who shall direct the operation, sur
rounding itself with engineers and chemists and tool
designers and purchasing agents and specifications
clerks each with definite job to do 1t is the ability
of American management to select the right for
the right job, whether that man come from our tech
nical colleges from the rank and file of factory
employees.
In time of peace-because of American Know-How
Detroit and Pittsburgh and Akron supplied the
world with automobiles and steel and tires No other
country could compete successfully against American
makers of airpanes, washing machines, radios or
mechanical refrigerators.
Our scientists and engineers out-designed our COM
petition in foreign fields sales departments out
sold them, factory out-produced them.
