THE HEALTH QUESTION

Editor OF the Ypsilanti Press:
Ten years ago the welfare boards
dumped all the reliefers they could
out In the five-dollar-a-month
shacks and the Health Depart
ments were not In the least excit-
ed. The shacks had outside toilets
and shallow wells.
IL ever there was a golden op-
portunity to save" the people from
typhoid fever and what ever else
is supposed to wipe out people
who do not have running water,
inside toilets, and what-rave-you,
this was 1t.
But, did any OF them zap about
conditions then No. Then why
are they so concerned about the
house-trailer camps now which are
thousand times more sanitary
than the suburban homes that clus-
ter around every large city?
II the statements of the local
Health Department is true, every
small town (where the toilets are
located about so feet from the
pump and only the better class
have plumbing) should be in the
throes Of a typhoid epidemic. In
fact they should have all been dead
long ago. But on the contrary, in
surance companies say, people in
small towns live much longer than
those in the cities.
People working in the Bomber
Plant want place to cook, to have
privacy and to live like human
beings and not be told by some
one else what they can and can't
do. In view OF the shortage of
critical materials such as pipe,
lead and brass, all of which are
used in large quantities in modern
homes such as would be necessary
to pass the Health Department
too rigid rules. 1t seems to me that
the house trailer Is the only answ-
er and that they should be en-
couraged rather than hectored and
bounded by some NJ. D. who's con-
tact with the people comes mainly
from taking their money in return
for bread pills.

WHERE TO STOP

Since nearly every kind OF job,
service or merchandise becomes es-
sential at some level il We are to
cut down to bedrock" IN civilian
life, government planners must
soon decide just where TO stop. We
can't do away entirely with restau-
rants, laundries, barber shops or
recreation facilities. without az
fecting morale-somewhere they
must draw the line. That is to say,
sooner or later we reach a point
where a further cut would impair
general efficiency in the war effort.
The question seems to be: what's
70 be gained-or lost-if everybody
has To cut his own hair, make all
his own clothes, do his laundering
himself. or live without electric
lights.
In a war OF total manpower and
total resources, the average in
div%lual probably could get along
all right with fewer haircuts, fewer
changes OF clothes, doing the IRON
ing at home and using light bulbs
a little more sparingly.
But what's the bedrock point In
each item?
That's what the government ex-
perts are trying TO figure out.
That's the story behind the so
called bedrock economy report
which government experts have
drawn up and are studying.
Too, it's behind the War Man
power Commissions decision that
its regional directors may classify
such places Of employment as no
tells and restaurants as essential
10 manpower consideration II 10
oally necessary"
The War Production Board en-
phasizes that the bedrock report Is
tentative. that II isn't q recommen-
dation that cuts be made 10 the
estimated bedrock levels, but that
1t provides = starting point for
study.
One Of the central IDEAS Is to
provide necessary repair parts and
essential requirements.
Generally speaking, the report is
based on percentages OF 1889 con-
sumption
To illustrate: The tentative bed
rock economy would provide no new
vacuum cleaners. flatirons, other
electrical appliances, but so per
cent OF 1889 consumption OF extern
sion cords and attachments.
II would provide for no new radio
receivers, photographs or record
players: but 30 per cent OF 1889
purchases OF photograph needles
and replacement tubes, 10 per cent
Of records.
Such an economy would cut CIV
Than supplies Of tooth pastes ana
powder TO 40 per cent. on the theo-
ry that you could use salt and soda
mixture: but would provide 80 per
cent Of toothbrushes.
It would give civilians IS per cent
OF tobacco and smoking supplies;
10 per cent OF lipstick and rouge.
These levels will not be reached
this year, but the aim Is to get down
TO within about % per cent above
these levels on the average.
Production OF most metal srti-
cles for civilian use probably Is at
OF near bedrock now. Other reduc-
tons will follow.

Sure. I forgot. He climbed upon

Abby was scandalized. "Choppo,

gangplank, she knew that he had,

Going ashore, directly behind him,
was the extra Identification Of
Choppo in the absurd coconut

The girl did not know how Rusty
had noticed her among the many
persons tanning the railing, but
he had. He made a motion as II to
lift his hand to her, then quickly
lowered it and was lost from sight.
Thousands upon thousands Of
bright-colored serpentines gave the
appearance Of having the Lorelei

they grasped with a frivolous
tenacity, the vessel gave a gentle
tug that broke that grasp and
quietly sailed away.
