The people of occupied Norway and Denmark
must have found comfort in the late President Roose-

But would not be surprising If thot feeling were

Assistant Director,
Red Cross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service

The Hendersons lived in an
old-fasihoned house with hall,
from which the bedrooms open
ed, running the full length OF
the second floor. At one end OF
the hall was the bathroom and
linen closet, and at the other
was Grandma Henderson's room.
When Grandma fell and broke
her hip it didn't occur to any
one that it would be easier to
care for her if she were nearer
the bathroom. Young Mrs. Hen
derson literally walked miles up
and down that long hall until
one of her friends who had had
a course in home nursing came
to the rescue and taught her
how to make her head save her
heels.
Sally made quick survey OF
the kitchen, and came up with a
large metal serving tray, a flat
three-pound tin candy box, and
a clean market basket with two
handles slipped over. her arm.
With these she proceeded 10
demonstrate the use of step
saving toilet trays.
TRAYS SAVE STEPS
On the large metal tray Sally
placed the bath basin, soap dish,
mouth basin, and a large pitcher
of hot water. you can take
these in with one trip instead of
two, as you've been doing" she
said.
The lid was removed from the
candy box, and in the box was
placed the bottle Of rubbing al
cohol, talcum powder, Grand
mas toothbrush and toothpaste,
and glass of fresh water. The
basket was filled with clean bed
linen, towels and Grandma
clean gown. With the basket
hung on her arm, and the box in
one hand, she had the other free
to carry the waste pail.
"You see," Sally explained
"you can take everything you
need for the bath into the room
in two trips, and bring them out
the same way. 1t will save a LOT
of wear and tear on your feet"
II never thought of using
trays" Mrs Henderson safd
YEARLY, "but can think OF LOT
of ways I'll use them to save
work from now on"

with the same spot, he trumped.
Now he led a small trump to
dummy's king and played the
nine of clubs. East refused to
cover SO he took the finesse and
West won with the ace. West
returned another diamond, the
jack was played, East covered
with the queen, and Huske ruff
fed with the ten spot. He then
cashed the ace of spades, his last
trump, and led the four of

jack and returned q diamond.
Huske won this with the ace and
played another club, finessing

Now the only other trick that
West could win was his high

LONDON-Scores of BritonS
trapped under debris of air raids
or V-bombs are learning that
the dog is literally mans best
friend. Following successful ex-
periments last October, eight
Alsations have been brought to
southern England and put to
work spotting buried air raid
victims. 1t works.
Previously, if casualties were
known or suspected to be under
caved in walls, ceilings or cell
lars, it has been necessary for
rescue workers to stop all work,
get complete silence and then
call through the debris.
In cases of fairly modern
buildings, where the rubble u.s.
ually turns out to be big chunks
with comparatively large air
spaces between pieces, this call
and-listen method is reasonably
effective. A casualty, even if
unconscious, can be heard
breathing for some distance.
But, as is so often the case, il
the crushed building is old or
brick, the debris is too tightly
packed for voices to carry far
either to or from the victims.
That's where the dogs come in.
Their sense of smell and hear
ing, more acute than mans, en-
ables them to FLUSH" buried cas-
ualties much as good bird dog
flushes grouse.
The dogs are worked in pairs,
one working half an hour and
then getting a Commute rest.
Rescue workers are called off
the debris the first time the dogs
are least" over the ruins to give
them a sniff not confused by the
rescue workers scents.
If a dog gets point immed-
lately, the second dog is cast
over the debris to check it. If
the dogs get no immediate scent
the workers 60 back to digging
and the dogs work on. Practise
has proven that neither coal, gas
or steam appreciably affect the
dogs skill, as it had been feared
might be the case.
Each of the dogs reacts in a
different way on finding a scent.
One of them stands still, drops
his ears and shoulders all over.
Another becomes lively and
yelps. A third lies down on the
spot. Each pair of dogs works
with his own trainer, whose
training job includes recognizing
his dogs special method OF
pointirc.

NeOW
United Stotes was written and submitted to the sotes,
Thonos Jefferson wrote: "Some men look at const-
tutions with sonctionous reverence, and deem them
like the Ark of the Covenant = too sacred to be
touched. They oscribe to the men Of the preceding
ooe wisdom more than human
Thot reverence which Jefferson noted has grown
THROUGH the years. Today we inclined to be for
oetfu of the Constitutions early history and OF the
amendments which we have seen fit to make in it,
Because the Constitution is great and inpregnoble
todoy we sometimes tok as if it had been conceived
in harmony and born in triumphant strength and
fuII-bown perfection.
So we should be vigont against demanding the
same impossible perfection Of the document thot
will issue from the San Francisco Conference And
perhaps it will increase that vigilance if we review
little further some Of the circumstances OF the Con-
stitution's BIRTH
The structure Of free representative government
explicit in it's final form the fruit Of expediency
as we'll as ideoIisnn. Smaller states, buckin9 control
by New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, the Big
Three - and how modern that sounds - won such
compromise victories as proportional representation
in the House and the popular vote for presidential
electors by threatening to walk out Of the Conven-
ton.
The Constitution was presented to the people
with considerable tear Some OF the delegates went
home before the Job was done. Three who remained
refused to sign the document Others we're reluctant
Ebrdee Gerry thought that it would provoke q civil
war; Jefferson in Europe ostonished that it con-
toned no guarantee Of bosic human rights.
At first the Constitution found its support among
the rich and its opposition from the poor and hand
full Of rich, Visionary" champions Of democracy The
series Of FederoIist popers by Hamilton, Madison and
Jay helped greatly in swinging popular opinion. But
even So Rhode Island, which had refused to send DEL
egotes to the convention waited three years before
rotifyng the Constitution.
The point is that the Constitution hos grown
more democratic, stronger and more effective with
the passing years. Today thanks to the Bill Of Rights
and subsequent amendments, it stands before the
world as paragon Of political right and wisdom,
however short we may foil Of fulfilling its letter and
spirit.
The moral Of this short refresher course is OBJ
vious. The San Francisco Conference also selling an
unehorted course, is bound to produce an imperfect
plan. BY refusing it we should have nothing to take
its place. BY accepting and amending and improving
it we can look with confidence toward world in
which men may live out their lives in peace.
