Hospital Care for Casualties
In Pacific Called Unexcelled
By Edgar Kioe Burroughs
. (Written for United Press)
An Island Base in the Pacific
(IP Th(s sn't a story of "bombs
bursting in air," pr ,of Wgh hero
ism. It is a report to the fathers
and -mothers, the brothers and
sisters, the sweethearts and wives
whose men are casualties in army
and navy hospitals. If a casualty
lives long enough to get into the
hands of the medical corps his
chances of survival are . pretty
,clos,e to 100 per cent.
I write that after spending a
day in a navy hospital here. Per
haps you would like to have your
man back where the family doctor
in whom you have so much con
fide nee, and who. may have
brought him into the world, could
look after him with that fine hu
manity and sympathy which has
made the family doctor beloved.
Don't worry. He is getting these
things and more.
Walking through ward after
ward all day until my feet were
worn off :to ,the ankles, I saw
that same fine humanity and sym
pathy evidenced by the nurses and
the corpsmen. They are wonder
ful. The nurses, trained and effi
cient, also bring that spiritual lift
that only a fine American girl
can bring to American boys whose
recent' feminine contacts have
been with bare feet or shuffling
sandals or tabi.
Take Pride in Skill
And the corpsmen. Of the many
things the boys call them I heard
only one that is printable "bed
pan .commandos.." This is an ap
pellation of affection, as is "pill
rollers" in the army.
Your men are getting not only
expert and sympathetic nursing,
but the best surgical and medical
service that any nation can pro
vide. I was shown one boy who
had been suffering the agonies of
sciatica. The nurse proudly ex
hibited him as the f h-st patient to
have had a certain operation per
formed on him. He was her prize
exhibit. I am sorry that 1 cannot
give you a very intelligent de
scription of the operation, but
here is the gist of it: Between the
two vertebrae that were pinching
the sciatic nerve, the surgeqn in
serted a gadget consisting-of a
couple of silver plates and ball
bearings. The pain was instantly
relieved, never to return. Unless
his parents are wealthy, the
chances are that in civilian life
he would never have had this
operation.
Then there was the man with a
gangrenous leg. He had asked to
meet me, and I found him in a
private cubicle with a corpsman
i n attendance. Ordinarily, h e
would have certainly lost his leg
or, possibly, his life. But they are
going to save his leg and proba
bly all his toes as well. The corps
man was so proud of what they
had accomplished that he damn
near burst. He wanted me to wait
half an hour until they removed
the icepack so that I could see the
leg.
Shown Every Attention
If you have men In army or
navy hospitals, thank God that
they are not at home, for they
could not get better surgical and
medical service there or anywhere
else in the world. And don't worry
about them. The nurses, the corps
men, the Red Cross girls, the Gray
Ladies look after their every com
fortand the physicians and sur
geons are such as you could not
possibly afford unless you are
very. rich. .....

Hmmm, no. Rather a freakish
accident that happened when
this . propeller of a Wildcat
tighter plane, forced from its
hub during a crash landing at
a Pacific base, imbedded itself
.in the trunk of a coconut palm,
me to visit the hospital. I was sup
posed to lift the boys' morale and
give them some laughs, but the
idea boomeranged. The boys did
all that to me. They were a cheer
ful, wonderful bunch.
Miss Christine Herman of
Washington, D. C, a Red Cross
girl, took me by the hand and led
me around. She being exceeding
ly pulchritudinous, I was not hard
to lead. And then there was an
other beauteous Red Cross girl
Josephine Jack of Beatrice, Neb.,
whose father is a close friend of
the last of my schoolday friends,
Bert Weston, who, like me, is
older than God. It's a small world.
Homemaking
Wise use of leftover ' kitchen
fats Is the first step in helping
to increase collections of used
household fats critically needed
to make up a deficit in 1945 fats
oils supplies, according to the
home demonstration agent, Eliza
beth H. Boeckli.
Farm women and homemakers
In small towns have been called
on to contribute a large share of
the 250 million pounds of used
fats set as this year's goal, Miss
Boeckli says, and the county ex
tension office is cooperating with
local salvage committees in boost
ing Deschutes county's collec
tions. Turning in all fat drippings and
leftovers indiscriminately for sal
vage may not do as much for the
nation's fat supplies as using the
good-flavored leftover fats in
home cooking and then contrib
uting to salvage any. excess fat
or fat that is strong In flavor, the
U. S. department of agriculture
points out.
The housewife who turns in
four pounds of good bacon drip
pings, for example, and then buys
a four-pound jar of fat for her
home cooking does not increase
the overall fat supply, and indi
vidually loses points and money
on the exchange Miss Boeckli ex
plains. All leftover fat can be saved
and used again unless it is too
strong in flavor or scorched, the
specialists say. Practically all of
these fats may be utilized in cook
ing, and in most cases even add
flavor to other dishes. Fats saved
from cooking spoil more quickly
than new fat, however, so should
be kept cold and used as soon as
possible, it is pointed out. - '
Rural housewives jare ,now a,n
important source of the estimat
ed potential 500 million pounds of
used kHchen- fats yearly. Oppor
tunities for salvaging ,used fats
on the farm are h(w .greater (than
those of .city housewjyes tjeqause
of home production of meats on
the farm and extension .use of
poultry .and other fat sources.
Rendering of waste fat is also
important at ' butchering .time.
Miss . Boeckli stresses that this
type of lat-4he so-called "killing
fat" is needed as much as jused
household fat and represents a
large volume. Although red
points are not given for "killing
fat," it can be sold at the going
market price.

"Horsie" the elk's leg collapsed
under him he was sent to the

as if the old iron statue, ridden by
children, will go back on the lawn

the prognostication of the '"doc
