Ii an operation is indicated at the
time Of birth for some congenital
defect it had better be done within
the first 48 hours rather than
later. Curiously, u new born baby
stands surgery better than when it
Is Il week or two or a month older.
A frequent congenital anomaly
is hernia. 1t may be of the inguinal
variety essentially the same as the
common hernia of adults, or UNI
bilical lat the naveD.
Inguinal hernia in a baby is
more easily repaired afte' the first
year. So the best advice is to wait.
The yarn truss, although not cura-
tive, should be used until time for
the operation. When the hernia is
too big for the truss to hold it, or
because of the inaptitude of the
parents or the intolerance of the
child, operation is advisable re-
CARELESS of age.
Umbilical Hcrnias
Umbilical hernias which pro-
trude only one-half to one inch
above the level of the abdominal
wall, and with n ring that admits
only the tip of the little finger,
can almost always be cured by
strapping with adhesive tape. So
it is better to withhold surgery on
these until it is seen whether con-
servativc treatment will bc success
full. Some umbilical hernias, how
ever, require surgery us soon after
birth as possible. 1t is for the sur
geon to decide which these are.
Undescended tests. which NAV
be mistaken for hernia should not
be operated on until between nine
and twelve years.

Persons who want to vote in
the election November 7, and
who have not already qualified as
voters by previous registration,
must register on one of the three
next Saturdays: day after tomor-
row, October IA; October Il ; and

Challenges, if any, will be passed

a person must have lived in the
state a year and in the voting
precinct four months in order to
qualify as a voter. But he Cor

the judges of election that he Cor
she) is a bona-fide resident. For
example, a Navy officer who has
been here in Chapel Hill a year
may qualify as a voter if he in

leave when his Navy assignment
here is ended, his having lived

right to vote.

LaSt-minute information on

Miss Alice Jones the assurance
that the celebration has the
prime requisite for success: her
nephew, Brigadier-Gen Ken

In the intermisSiOn at the
Duke-vs.-Navy Pre-Flight foot
ball game last Saturday, Con-
gresham Carl Durham told me
of having come from Washington
by plane the day before. The fly
ing time for the trip was l hour
and 20 minutes.
1.-TWO weeks ago." said Mr..
Durham, Il did a full mornings 5
work, four or five hours, and then
took a plane and got to Chapel
Hill in good time for the football
game.
There are several scheduled
planes every day now from
Washington to the Raleigh-Dur-
ham airport, and anybody has a
good chance of getting a seat. |
do my travelling by plane when
ever possible. If | come home by
train it usually has to be at night.
That means getting a Pullman
berth. When you add to the fare
the price of a berth and neceS-
sary incidentals, it actually costs
more to go by train than by plane.
Train travel in a day coach is
somewhat cheaper, but III a day
coach these days you are apt to
have to stand up all or part of
the way, and it's worth some
thing to save yourself from that
exhaustion"
Summed up, Congressman
Durham's opinion of plane travel,
in comparison with train travel,
is that it usually saves you money
and it always saves you time and
wear-and-t tear.

Pre-Flight School Is Winner

The Navy Pre-FIight School
football team, having beaten
Navy week before last and Duke
last week, is being rated by the
football experts as one of the
best teams in the country. The
University Of North Carolina
football team has lost the three
games it has played 50 far, Some
times the cadets team is called
North Carolina Pre-Flight, "
sometimes Carolina Pre- Flight, "
and | noticed that the announcer
in the Duke stadium last Satur-
day called it, several times, Car
olina." 1t seems to be worth
adopting, and | believe | will call
it Chapel Hill" The whole foot
ball situation is scrambled in war
time, with players moving from
campus to campus, according to
their Army and Navy assign
ments, and arriving or departing
suddenly in mid-season. A team
might as well be named for the
place where it is based.
