Miracles Found
In Everyday Life
DR.. HOLSTER Says

Many undiscovered miracles of
science are still about us in our
everyday life" said DR.. w. G. Hol-
lister, state board of health. Until
recent years nobody suspected that
common bread mold might contain
modern miracle of medicine, and
yet out of that mold has come pen
icillin, new weapon in the war
against disease. So sudden has been
the rise of this new curative agent
that new industry in the manu-
facture of penicillin has grown up
in years time
Whenever new drug appears on
the market people are apt to be
carried away by enthusiasm and to
hail the discovery as a cue-all, ac-
cooling to the physician, who call
ed attention to the extravagant
claims first made for the sulforam-
ide drugs. Experience has taught
us the limitations the sufa drugs
have, he said, and we must apply
this same experience to penicillin.
AT the present time" DR.. Holli-
ster stated, 1--WE know that peni-
cillin can make an excellent con-
tribution toward the control of
wound infections, carbuncles and
meningitis; on the war fronts it is
doing fine job in combating gan
creme. 1t seems to be effective in
childhood fever and the peritonitis
that often follows rupture of an alb
dominal organ like an appendix. 1t
is our new hope in pneumonia and
osteomyelitis. Finally, it appears
that penicillin is going to make a
big contribution toward the cure
OF syphilis and gonorrhea."
Already the state board of health
has modified to bring the new
penicillin therapy for syphilis and
gonorrhea to the medically indi-
gent of Mississippi, DIR. HOLSTER
reported. In Meridian, Brookhaven
and Greenwood hospitals called
public health treatment centers are
now in operation, he said, which
are giving the penicillin treatment
Tor the diseases. In addition. pri-
vate physicians are now prepared
to give these treatments in local
hospitals, for penicillin is now
available to all physicians" con-
cluded DR.. Hollister. There is a
plentiful supply on the maket, and
the people of the state should begin
to benefit from the use of this new
weapon in medicine"

THIS N THAT
BY Your Rowing Reporter

Mothers Day was everything it
should have been-mother nature,
realizing the importance of the day,
took a hand and made it one of
those bright sunshiny days so IA
maliar to us Of the sunny South
land.
Mothers were honored through
out the city, in church and by diff
ferent organizations
Last week, our rowing took us
to Yazoo City, where we spent an
other delightful day with our good
friend, Mrs. Savannah Watson. No
thing to do all day, but sit in the
shade, read, eat and drink. the
kind of day we would like more
of all. While in Zoo City, we had
the pleasure Of chatting with our
old friend and former classmate,
Mrs. Willeva M. Lindsey, who is
we think secretary cashier of the
Afro offices. We also got a glimps
of papa Dan and baby Willeva. In
cidentally, the Lindsey's have one
of the most modern and most beau
tiful homes to be found anywhere.
Of course trip to Yazoo City is
incomplete without a visit to the
Elysian Cafe. We happend in just
when Mr.. Pierce and his efficient
and courteous staff were trying to
find enough food to satisfy the
hunger of the Rays OF Rhythm,
Piney Woods all girl orchestra.
This orchestra played for dance
our boss was giving at the colored
fairgrounds in Yazoo City, Monday
night. The dance was one of the
best ever and the Rays showed
their appreciation of the very fine
and enthuastic audience, by play
ing some of the best music they
have ever played. Everybody had
fun galore.
We are still hearing discussions
about the newly organized jack
son Negro Juvenile Council with
our friend on the street corner
suggesting that. an Adult Delin-
quency Council be organized. The
membership to be made up OF
| juveniles, and when this group
brought in reports, we feel that then
we would really be getting to the
source of contributing forces that
are leading to juvenile delinquent
cy. For these boys and girls
would without doubt bring in
reports, not only from the skating
rink where they go for few hours
of dancing with other teen-agers
but fro mchurches, schools, thea
tiers, cafes, private offices and our
homes, where we will find in many
cases, adults are the chief offend
ers.
We were late getting to the meet.
ing Of the Juvenile Council this
week, but during the time we were
there, it seemed that persons pres.
ent had decided to dispense with al
the usual talk and actions thai
make most meetings of this kind
lust another headache, and go RICH
into the business of doing some
thing worthwhile. We were glad t.
hear the program of recreation tina

TURMAGAIN ARM
 CR0SSING MAY
 BE CONSTRUCTED
Delegate Bartlett Declares Development Means
 Much for Future

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Con- structiQn of the Turnagain Arm crossing, connecting the Renal Pen insula with the existing road system of Alaska, may start next year, says Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska).
 Bartlett described the develop ment to a reporter as of "tremen- deus importance in Alaska's fu- ture."
 He saic Federal Roads Commis- sicner Thomas Macdonald was highly pleased with the results of surveys made at Turnagain Arm this year. It was demonstrated, Bartlett said, that a crossing at Quartz Creek would not only be practicable frctn an engineering standpoint, but would be cheapest of all routes ex- plored. It is estimated that the fill and bridge, with required feed- CT roads, would cost about $6,0O0 ,000.
 Completion of this job would give Seward it's badly needed highway with Anchorage and ulti- mately would connect the entire Kenai Peninsula with Anchorage, ," Bartlett said
 Once the arc is crossed and the feeder roads built, we can look for ward to rapid development of the whole peninsula"

"0nIy Good German Is Now Dead One

LONDON-Baron von Trott du Solz, former counsellor at the Ger man Foreign Office, was known to Canadian prisoners of war as "a good German"
 He was the only good one ever heard about" said Lieut.. A. M. Hueston, Sernia, Ont, taken pris- oner in August 1922, while at Dieppe with the Essex Scottish regiment
 The Baron, about whom Cana dians heard from other prisoners, was in charge of a luxury prison camp near Berlin where favored or high ranking prisoners were held. He told prisoners he was Rhodes Scholar at Oxford in 1929 and that he was a friend of the late Lord Tweedsmuir, former Governor Gen. eral of Canada. He said he liked the English.
 Evidence that von Trott may have meant what he said came after the attempted assassination of Hitler last July. He was hanged and the explaption given by the German newspapers was that he had used his official journeys to Sweden to discuss war secrets with the enemy.

UNEMPLOYMENT
 BENEFITS GOING
 TO BE ENLARGED

WASHINGTON, July 17.--Six Democratic Senators teamed today to carry out President Truman's re- quest for broadened unemployment benefits during reconversion, in- cluding higher payments to veter- ans.
 Going further than similar legis- lation introduced in the House, Sem ator Kilgore (W-Va) said the mea- sure represents "a sincere attempt" to carry out Mir Truman's May 28 plea for decent unemployment ben efits (to) serve as a bulwark against postwar deflation."
 The Senate bill-in addition to augmenting state unemployment benefits with Federal funds to bring payments to maximum of $25 a week and extending the duration of payments to 26 weeks in any year would amend the so-called G. I. Bill of rights to increase veterans un- employment benefits from flat $20 a week to $25 for single persons and $3O for those with dependents In addition, veterans would have to serve only 90 days instead of the present nine and one-half months to qualify for the maximum of 52 weeks of payments.

VETERANS [ GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

tion from active duty under honor able conditions.
 There are a couple of other fea- lures about this Civil Service pre- ference stuff that want to hit be- fore I sign off for today.
 There's the suppositious case of Anne Brown. Anne married Joe Brown after he left the Marines. Joe was killed in an accident a few months later Anne married again after six months, but she picked a wrong guy. He played around, so Anne had the marriage legally an- nulled Then Anne decided she'd go to work-in an office of the Re- construction Finance Corporation. She made it easily, because she got Q 10 point Civil Service preference which put her way up towards the top of an eligible list
 How'd she do it? She was the un- married widow of an ex-service man. The widow of any veteran twhether or not he was disabled can get 10 point preference. This doesn't apply if she has remarried, unless the second marriage has been dissolved, through the death of the second husband or otherwise through no fault of her own. Also, if a vet eran who is entitled to 10 point preference has been unable to quail ify for any Civil Service job be- cause of the severity of his service connected disability then his wife can obtain the 10-point preference and try to qualify for Civil Ser vice job
 Under the Veterans Preference Act, the age, height and weight of an ex-service applicant can be ig- nored, and physical standards ordi- narily required can be overlooked under certain conditions The act also extends benefits in Civil Ser vice reinstatement, in re-employ- ment, in retention eff there is to be any reduction in the number of johs) in promotion, and in transfer The scope of the act is vast and it affects the whole Civil Service scheme.
 There is a gathering opposition and I'll give you a glimpse of it next time.

Congress Now Asked
 For Single Control of Surplus War Goods

a. l-sk |5lrsH
 WASHINGTON, July 17.-Presi- dent Truman today asked Congress to reverse itself and place control of surplus property disposal in a single administrator rather than three man board.
 The Chief Executive thus reopen ed 1944 fight over the disposition of billions of dollars worth of war goods which the government is now beginning to sell in volume as the re- suit of the defeat of Germany.
 MT. Truman noted that last year Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who was then War Mobilization Dir ector. had urged the appointment of a single administration rather than the three-man control which Con- gress finally put into effect.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-07-17

WASHINGTON = The fact that a veterans name gets on the eligible list for appointment to govern ment job-or even to the top of the list-doesnt mean that he neces- sarily will get the job. But it comes close to that.
 His or 10 point preference helps him to get favorable place on the list. That list is made up by the Civil Service Commission. But the appointment to a job is made by the qualified appointing officer of the government service which is go- ing to employ the new applicant. When vacancy must be filled the appointing officer asks the Civil Service Commission to certify names to him from the appropriate eligi- bility list. The names of the top three go to him, plus a sufficient number to take care of possible fail ures to respond to appointment of fers.
 The appointing officers right to consider three names, and not just the one name at the top, is legal right, since the Attorney General back in 1871 held that the appoint ing power couldn't constitutionally te restricted to where he would really have not choice. But vet eran having a preference rating whose name gets to the top brac- kets of a list has a. swell chance to land job, because an appointing authority who passes over his name and doesn't select him has to go in- to a delaying procedure that's enough to make even Charlie Me arthy's head ache.
 Remember that an ex-service man or woman doesn't get preference automatically. He has to claim and prove it. He should get hold of a Form 14-that's the Civil Service Commissions preference sheet. If he fills that out and attaches proof of his honorable separation from service, he'll be all set for a 5-point preference He must have served in time of war Cor during a cam paign or expedition which rated a campaign badge) and must have been honorably discharged. The regulations say this means separa-
