Composition of Pearl*
The world’s most prized genuine
pearls, worth a small fortune each
because of size, shape, and luster,
consist of virtually worthless com-
ponents—common calcium carbo-
nate formed around the egg of a
tapeworm, a fragment of seaweed, j
or a erain of sand.
Jamaica Relief

means of trans-

operational ex-
periments. With
the outbreak of
the Korean ag-
gression, the heli-
copter loomed to
the fore as one of
the most versatile
planes in combat.
Because of its
raaneu verability
in remote and in-
accessible areas it
has been used ex-
tensively in the
evacuation of cas-
ualties and rescue
of isolated troops
as well as the re-
covery of critical
equipment. Thou-
sands of fighting
men owe their
lives to this type
o f evacuation.
Specially designed
equipment pro-
duced in limited quantities and vital to the United Nations operations
have been retrieved and returned to our forces. Safe shipment ol
highly essential equipment and supplies is most generally assured.
Its unique size and the low altitude at which it flies makes it a
difficult target for the enemy and a very effective forward observer
and artillery spotter for ground troops. Field commanders are using
it extensively for closer liaison with their tactical positions and troops.
The armed services are anticipating many more uses for the aerial
curiosity with additional field tests and certain modifications.__

‘Grandaddy’ of Earth-Mold
Drugs is but Ten Years Old
Penicillin today helps your family
doctor wage bacteriological warfare
against a whole army of microbe
killers, ranging from pneumococcic
to staphylococcic infections.
But it was only 10 years ago that
the granddaddy of all the anti-
biotic drugs was first hesitantly
used on a human patient. A British
policeman, dying from an infection
that had attacked his face and
scalp, was given the test.
He showed almost immediate im-
provement after the first injection
of penicillin, and continued to im-
prove for five days. Then the sup-
ply of the wonder drug ran out and
the patient died.
But the test had proved that pen-
icillin was a superlative weapon
against bacteria. And even more
important, in the opinion of Dr.
Charles E. Dutchess, vice president
and medical director of Schenley
Laboratories, Inc., a prime pro-
ducer of the drug, this test opened
an entirely new field of research in
earth-mold drugs. Streptomycin
and other antibiotics, which have
brought a host of infectious dis-
eases under control, have come
along since 1941.
The principle of the earth-mold
drugs is simple. Matter decom-
poses when it is buried in the
ground. This occurs because of the
constant warfare that goes on in
nature as one micro-organism de-
stroys another. Penicillin’s action
is an outstanding example of this
process—one in which one micro-
organism, a mold, destroys another
micro-organism, bacteria.^ Poten-
tially, there are hundreds of other
natural enemies for each of the
germs that plague us, and the
search for newer and more power-
ful antibiotics is continuing, Dr.%
Dutchess reports.
rhinestone clips and black acces-
sories. Bill Whitfill served as best
man.
Others witnessing the ceremony
were Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Rusfeeil
and Ann, also of Panhandle.
Both the bride and groom are
graduates of Panhandle High
School and the bride attended
Mary Hardin-Baylor at Belton.
She has been employed, for three
years at the First National Bank
at Panhandle.
Mr. Miller attended college in
Kansas and served 5 years in the
Air Force in World War II. He
was recalled to service in August,
1950, and was a sergeant. For 3
months prior to his release in
Sept., 1951, he served as a left
gunner on a B-29 in Japan and
Korea.
He is owner of the Jack Miller
Service Station at the intersection
of Highways 117 and 60. Follow-
ing a wedding trip to Carlsbad,
N. M., the couple are at home
in an apartment at the rear of
the service station.

Stratosphere .
The stratosphere is a layer of the
atmosphere where the temperature,
around 75 degrees below zero, F.,
does not decrease with altitude,
and there may even be an increase.
Its base varies with season and
latitude, but is generally around
35,000 feet. The top of the strato-
sphere has not been determined
exactly, but is probably about 100,-
000 feet, and this also may be vari-
able. The density of the air in the
stratosphere is about an eighth of
that at sea-level.

Effects on City Intfabitants
Studies of the effects of the
atom bomb explosions on the in-
habitants of Hiroshima and Naga-
saki, Japan, are the basis for a
report in the Cincinnati Journal of
Medicine by Dr. Vinton E. Siler,
assistant professor of surgery in the
University of Cincinnati College of
Medicine, on the “Treatment of
Blast and Burn Casualties in
Atomic Warfare.”
Dr. Siler reports that the main
obstacle in solving the problem of
civilian defense in atomic warfare
is the “sheer volume” of the task.
Of a total population of 500,000 in
the two Japanese cities, 43 per
cent were injured, half of them
fatally.
The problem of providing person-
nel, supplies, and facilities to treat
such masses of population is stu-
pendous, according to the UC edu-
cator.
In the treatment of blast victim*.
—those who are injured by the
power of the blast, by collapsing
structures, or by flying debris—Dr.
Siler outlines the need for minimum
immediate treatment and the com-
promise of definitive treatment for
the sake of expediency.
For example, he writes that de-
pending upon the availability of
personnel and stationary hospital
facilities, the treatment of shock,
hemorrhage, and penetrat ing
wounds of the chest and stomach
will be at best inadequate. Steril-
ity will have to be abandoned, and
much reliance will be placed upon
antibiotic and chemotherapeutic
agents.
Burn victims were the most fre-
quent casualties of the Japanese
bombings, Dr. Siler reports. The
general civilian defense plan for
the Cincinnati area calls for 80 col-
lecting stations with two “burn
teams” for each station. Each team
will consist of one doctor, two
nurses, and four aides.
FINISH THE JOB
The tyro fisherman, in the ex-
citement of his first catch, kept
on reeling the poor little fish un-
til his jaws were pressing against
the rod.
“All yon got to do now, neigh-
bor,” exclaimed an old-timer, “is
to climb the pole and choke him
to death.”
