Harvesting a Better America
Rubbed my eyes yesterday when
I saw Hap Jackson’s truck in Biff
Morgan’s alfalfa field___helping
Biff get in his cutting.
Since they’ve been carrying on
a friendly argument for years
(over how much fertilizer to use
per acre of alfalfa), I had to ask
Hap what was going on.
"Got my own crop in safely
last week,” he says. “And since
Biff’s boy is at the summer en-
campment of the National Guard,
I figured the least I could do was
to help him out. After all,” Hap
went on, “there’s no argument
over how important the National
Guard is to all of us.”
From where I sit, a fellow like
me, who’s too old to get in the
Guard, can still vote, do a turn at
jury duty, and respect others’
rights. Even a little thing like re-
specting a neighbor’s right to
have, say, beer or buttermilk at
dinner is important if we want to
keep America strong. We have to
be on “guard” in more ways than
one these days!

The first 24 hours of life are
the most dangerous. Thirty per
cent of all deaths in the first
year, known to be the most haz-
ardous, occur during this period.
Second only to premature birth
as a cause of infant deaths is
congenital deformity, that is an
abnormal condition with which
the baby is born. In the last 10
years or so, surgical techniques
to correct many of these defor-
mities have been developed, and
doctors have learned that the
earlier operation is performed in
most such instances, the better
the results.
Some examples of these life-
taking conditions are an absence
of openings (atresia) normally
found along the food tube, a
narrowing (stenosis) of the tube
at various points, or an abnor-
mal opening (fistula) between
the food tube and windpipe. Still
another is “upside-down stom-
ach,” or medically speaking,
“diaphragmatic hernia.”
When the operation is not an
extreme emergency, a waiting
period is used to get the baby
in good shape for surgery. He is
given blood transfusions or in-
jections of large amounts of
fluids containing nutritional
substances. X-ray studies are
made to let the surgeon know
the exact surgical problem that
he faces, and he may call in
consultants to view with special
instruments different body struc-
tures such as the food tube or
windpipe. The anesthetist, the
doctor who will put the baby to
sleep for the operation, with
the surgeon’s advice decides
upon the method of anesthesia
which will be safest for the baby j
yet easiest for the surgeon. For
infants and children smaller sur-
gical instruments and material
for sewing up wounds (sutures)
are available. The surgeon, who
is expert in working in a more
confined area with smaller body
structures, operates quickly and
gently.
Another branch of surgery in
which remarkable life-saving
gains have been made is the
field of breast cancer. Until the
development about 50 years ago
of radical mastectomy, the op-
eration which removes not only
the breast but also underlying
and nearby structures involved
or potentially involved by can-
cer, no cures of the disease
could be predicted.
Must of the credit for the few-
er cases of advanced cancer of
the breast that are seen by doc-
tors today is due to the fact that
most women are becoming more
cancer-conscious. When they no-
tice a suspicious lump or sore,
they report earlier for examina-
tion. Many times the signs do
not point to cancer, but their
keen observation is rewarded ei-
ther by the assurance that can-
cer is not present or by meas-
ures taken to prevent its ser-
ious effects.
If the doctor is doubtful whe-
ther cancer is present, he takes
a piece of tissue from the sus-
picious lump in the breast to
be studied under the microscope.
Often, he does not let the patient
leave the operating room before
finding out the results of the
examination. If positive for can-
cer, he removes the breast and
often (depending upon the na-
ture of the growth) deeper tis-
sues such as the muscle under
the breast and the lymph glands
in the armpit in addition. If
much skin must be removed, he
sometimes is able to use a skin
graft to cover the area operated
upon. Later, when healing is
complete, a breast form similar
to the remaining breast can be
fitted to make the deformity un-
noticeable.
SIGNS OF LIFE
America, generally speaking,
is a sign-conscious nation.
We depend on the convenience
of signs in thousands of phases
of our daily lives. Signs tell us
prices, advertise merchandise in
shop windows, speed up all our
methods of conducting business.
And signs help us maintain
order in countless little ways.
For instance, If there were no
signs it might be difficult—al-
most impossible—to keep people
from walking on the grass, dis-
posing of trash where they
shouldn’t, smoking in forbidden
places, loitering in busy build-
ings, posting bills on telegraph
poles, talking and shouting in
libraries and hospitals.
Then, probably most of all, we
have traffic signs to guide and
protect motorists and pedestrians
on the nation’s streets and high-
ways. These signs are so impor-
tant that often they are called
“Signs of Life.”
It’s an appropriate name. Traf-
fic signs can, and often do, save
lives. Without “Signs of Life”—
such as the "stop” sign at in-
tersections, the diamond-shaped
warning sign, the round and
crossbuck railroad signs — it
could become almost suicidal to
ride in an automobile.
But “Signs of Life” can do
the vital job for which they are
intended only if people read and
heed them. For this reason
“Signs of Life” are being featur-
ed in the traffic safety program
being conducted this month in
Texas by the Texas Safety Asso-
ciation and the Department of
Public Safety.
It’s a program that deserves
the support of every citizen, for
these signs, if observed, may
help you save a life—perhaps
your own!
The slogan for the August pro-
gram is one to remember—one
to live by: “Signs of Life—Know
Them, Obey Them.”

Its certainly plain to see...
Chevrolet trucks
must be the best buy!
This year again—for the 12th straight production year—truck users are buying more Chevrolet trucks than
any other make. It’s plain to see that Chevrolet trucks out-sell all others because they out-value all others!
When truck users show a continued preference for one
particular make of truck, you can be sure that preference
is based on a single sound reason: It’s the best buy!
Year after year, truck users in every field show a
clear-cut preference for Chevrolet trucks by buying more of them than any
other make.
Why not drop in and see why so many more truck buyers choose
Chevrolet? You’ll find, as they have, that Chevrolet trucks offer more of the
features and advantages you want . . . more solid value in every way . . .
yet it’s the lowest-priced truck line of all!
