Is Hiroshimo Girls Prov
On Eve of Surgery Trip

HIROSHIMA, Japan. May 4
P.-"The night before the
choice was announced the girls
prayed" the New York physi-
clan said.
1--WE were told they prayed not
that they would be the ones
picked, but that we doctors
would not feel anguish at having
to leave some of them home"
= That is the little story behind
the story of 25 Japanese girls,
disf1gured by the atomic bomb
10 years ago, who were selected
for free plastic surgery treat
ment in the United States.
DR.. William M. Hitzig, a New
York physician who helped to
make the selections, told the
story as the Is excited girls pre-
pared for the first and most i'm
portant airplane trip of their
lives. The girls, all in their 20s,
leave tomorrow.
"It is hard to believe how
gentle and happily they acted
during the long selection proc
ess," DR.. Hitzig said.
I'VE explained to all the girls
We examined that we could pick
only a certain number, those who
could best stand the long trip
and who would benefit most
from the surgery and that we
would do our best to make a
wise selection"
The girls were told they may
be gone a year. They may face
up to a dozen operations. Yet
all are filled with hope and are
in unbelievably good spirits,
said Hitzig.
They hope that the treatment
will remove the scars that were
left after the atomic wrath came
out of the skies in l945. The
scars have shut them off from
normal social activities. One

THIS is THE TIME TO
HAVE YOUR CAR CHECK ED

"Now is the time to have your
car safety checked"
Miss Foy Ingram, director of
N. c. Motor Vehicle Departments
registration division, passed along
this advice to all Tar Heel lady
drivers this week as she urged
them to keep their, cars in good
repair for the summer travel sea-
son ahead.
All homemakers should be in
terested in having the family car
safety checked, she said. The first
is that a check will reduce the
chances of any member of the
family being involved in a traffic
accident. The second reason is that
it is more economical to repair a
car when trouble is just starting
than it is after the damage has
become extensive.
"All of u.s." Miss Ingram said,
"are interested in our family's
safety and pocketbook. So we
ought to see to it that the family
car gets a thorough safety check
this month";"
Women who drive, she said, can
take the car in for a check them
selves. Those who do not drive can
urge some member of the family
to perform this important duty.

vehicles agency, Col. James R.

NEW POSTOFFICE
RECOMMENDED
FOR FOUR TOWNS

Four Ottawa County COM
munities are slated for new
postoffice buildings if recon-
mendations being made to
congress by the federal gov
ernment are adopted.
The Associated Press reported
this week that new post offices are
being proposed at Gypsum, Mar
blehead, Elmore and Genoa.
Costs of each has been estimated
at $211 900 except in the case of
Elmore, where the estimate is re-
ported under $200,O00."
None of the projects can be
started without congressional ap-
proval. The report is merely adj
visory and does not mean neces-
sarily that any of the projects will
be built, it was explained.
