THE ORACLE PROTECT CHILDREN FROM yoomaee Early this month, a little child, im 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 medidinés ‘where they can be secured by mall ‘children. Luckily, in most homes, no unfortunate tragedies regult; but the chance is taken carelessly and, o¢eassion. ally, a - little child, knowing no; Wetter, swallows-4hé pretty pills or drinks the. nice looking fluid, with fatal results. The “who read’ this article should «check up on the situation in their home if little children are in the household. It is a comparatively easy task to protect children from such medicines and ‘every Parent should take the precaution” of keeping medicines in a place which is out of the reach of little hands. The ‘modern miss is the one who put the “ith in -fit. : THe people who believe in luck almost i, bad luck. , ari aa race iat sees that the next generation ig improved. .

Bia virtues of capitalism 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 will be trained as an infantry-man first. and, then, as nec- 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 300,000 men in the next six months to obtain its planned strength. The Selec- tive Service System will supply 120,000 in October and November and the addi- tional 180,000 will be called, starting in December and continuing until May. Included in the plan is the drafting of 2,500 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 Way Il without seeing much, if any, military ‘Service. Until the “doctors’ draft’? be- comes effective, sdéme reservists of the medical branch will be returned to ac- tive duty but only for three or four months until draftees or volunteers in the profes- sions ean supplant them. In the background is the investigation of the House Armed Services Committee, looking into the military manpower situ- ation. The group wants to find out wheth- er our available and potential military manpower is being put into service effec- tively. The high rejection rate of regis trants, when physically and mentally ex- amined, has the committee worried. “There is a strong feeling that changes must be made in the draft law to make use of those who do net 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 draf- tees can perform:necessary duties, This brings up the subject of labor battalions’ which would mean a differen- tiation between fi who can=do th behind the lines Tfewa conscientious. objectors, “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.

Similarly favorable results were shown among those in the experience who were victims of degenerative heart disease, but had no record of an acute coronary epi- sode or other complication. Among these the five-year survivorship rate was 72 per- cent, the 10-year rate 50 percent, and the 12-year rate 44 percent.
