PROTECT CHILDREN FROM DRUGS

Early this month, little child, in an
other state. managed to get hold of some
medicine Intended for adults, swallowed
some and died shortly thereafter
We report this incident because, in
many. homes. parents thoughtlessly leave
medicines where they can be secured by
small children. Luckily, in most homes,
no unfortunate tragedies result, but the
chance is taken carelessly and, occasion
ally, little child, knowing no better
swallows the pretty pills or drinks the
nice looking fluid. with fatal results.
Those who read this article should
.eheck up on the situation in their home
IF little children are in the household. It
is comparatively easy task to protect
children from such medicines and every
parent should take the precaut;on of
keeping medicines in place which is out
of the reach Of little hands.

MUST REBUILT IT'S FORCES


into its reserves" to supply the demands
OF the campaign in Korea, it now faces
the task of building ifs forces. This will
be accomplished. according to General
Mark w. Clark, Chief of the U. S. Army
Field Forces, in three steps. the formation
of new units by calling up National Guard
units and by reactivating reserve units.
General Clark stressed the need, in
present world conditions, of strong and
efficient army. He called the doughboy
the zone indispensable element around
which the team viii be built He said
that lessons learned in Korea showed the
necessity of an air-ground combination.
From now on. he declared. every man
who gets into the army win be trained as
an infantry-man first and. then, as nee
essary, transferred to other branches.
On the same day that General Clark
made his observation, it was revealed in
Washington that the Army will induct
obtain its planned strength. The Selec-
tive Service System viii supply 10000
in October and November and the addi-
tional 10000 viii be called, starting in
December and continuing until May
Included in the plan is the drafting Of
$500 doctors and 1.400 dentists in the
same period. Most of these professional
men will be those who got training at
Government expense during World Wan
II without seeing much, if any, military
service. Until the doctors draft, be-
comes effective, some reservists of the
medical branch viii be returned to ac-
tive duty but only for three or four months
until draftees or volunteers in the profes-
sions can supplant them.
In the background is the investigation
of the House Armed Services Committee,
looking into the military manpower stu
alton. The group wants to find out wheth-
er our available and potential military
manpOwer is being put into service effec-
lively. The high rejection rate of regis4
trants. when physically and mentally ex-
amined. has the committee worried.
There is strong feeling that changes
must be made in the draft law to make
use of those who do not measure up to pres
ent high standards for military service.
This means. in plain English, that the
armed services must lower their standards
or that the organizations must set up SER
vice units in which the low-standard draft
tees can perform necessary duties.
This brings up the subject of labor
battalions which would mean differen-
tiation between fighting men and those
who can do the Necessary housekeeping
behind the lines Itwoald take care of the
conscientious objeetors. the physically
strong but mentally-weak group and a
small percentage of individuals. who are
more anxious to avoid contact with the
enemy than to fight bravely.
