EIGHTEEN MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE Thursday, Dee. 13. 1943 GIVEN COMPLETE PHYSICAL E Baer Army Field, Fort Wayne, Ind. (U.RM- From soldier to civilian in 30 minutes that's the record chalked up by the medical processing section of this Army Air Force separation center, where men walk into the hospital as GIs and emerge as Misters. In the medical section, each soldier being discharged re ceives his final physical exami nation, designed by the army to guarantee that he is In as good if not better physical condition than when he first put on his khaki uniform. Baer Field Is the AAF separa tion center for 'men living in a 300-mile area surrounding Fort Wayne. The section includes Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and In dianapolis. Termed Most Efficient A ratio of six officers and 29 enlisted men are ushered through physicals with speed that any Industrial assembly line would appreciate. The sec tion has been termed by a mcdi cal officer of the Continental Air Forces headquarters as probably the most efficient In any of the 33 air force sepnra tlon centers. Business started Oct. IB in a building converted from a hos pital ward.. Capt. George H Douglas of Los Angeles, officer in charge of the medical center said the peak "production" has been 500 men In one day, but facilities have been geared to accommodate 600 veterans dally. The men are given a briefing by Lt. Clifford C. Norton. The lieutenant, a former radio actor, producer and director at Chi cago, has devised signs posted on the wall to encourage action: "Keep lt moving, buddy"; "Hub ba, Hubba," and "Follow the arrows today If you want to be a Mister 'tomorrow." Arrows painted on the floor lead the men from one doctor to another. After they receive their physical examination work sheets on which their reactions to tests are recorded, they ad journ to a dressing room and strip to shorts and socks. 60 Seconds for X-Roy Their medical history from Infancy is recorded and then begin the tests. Ears, nose, throat, bones, joints all are examined. Only 60 seconds are needed for X-ray. The soldiers merely stand on a ladder tall ones on the bottom step ranging to the short ones on top and the picture is snapped. Before the airmen return to the dressing room, hearts and lungs, weights and measures, and pulse and blood pressure are checked. Doctors scrutinize visual and l.earing capabilities. A dental check Is the next step. If slight defeuts are dis covered, the potential civilian is given his choice by the War De partment directors of having defects corrected before leaving the army or signing a waiver and having his teeth repaired on his return to civilian life. Final Review Climax If a serious or contagious de fect Is discovered by the army test, the soldier is removed from n-eillcal processing line and not returned until he is in good physical condition. A psychiatrist Is available for men who report "nervousness" or whose work sheets record a memo from one of the doctors suggesting that he talk to the psychiatrist. Few fellows need a psychiatrist at this phase of the game, Norton said. The most dramatic phase of the entire check-up comes In the 20th minute the final levlcw. At that time, the work sheet Is rc-rxamincd and approved or rejected. If "O.K. Med" Is stump ed on the shi.it, the Ill's worries are over so far as his physical being is concerned. Well, prac tically over. The blood tests or X-ray pictures may turn up some ailment missed otherwise. In that case, the soldier is re called a second time. But those instances arc infrequent. Five to seven per cent of the men walk into the next office to file for disability compensation from the Veterans Administra tion. They are eligible if they have been wounded in action or if they are disabled because of an aggravation to some defect they had when they entered the army. In any case, every soldier being discharged is appraised of his right to file for the disability plan. E Long-Time Resident Helps Again In Christmas Seal Sale Campaign Washington, Dec. 13 flJ.R) The army air forces disclosed plans today for a peacetime ai force of 400,055 men and 8,200 planes, embracing 70 combat groups. The force would be bolstered by strengthened reserve groups, including national guard, organ ized reserve and R. O. T. C. Tlv reserves would require an addi tional 6,000 planes. The plan was drafted by tin air staff and approved by the war department. It docs not cover air requirements for universal training program. Plan Mobile Unit Spokesmen said a substantial part of the 70 combat groups would form a mobile striking force that would be available for use in an international air force of the United Nations organiza tion. Announced by the air forces at the same time was a merger of the far eastern air forces and the strategic air forces in the Pacific, into a new Pacific air command under Gen. George C Kenney. The new command embraces the 5th, 7th, 13th, eighth and 20th air forces, and all are under the supreme command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

Years ago Mrs Brown of 1422 huclid avenue, associated the work of the anti tuberculosis seal sale with every Christmas season. It seemed like the good old days, she said, when Mrs. Ruth E. Bauer, former seal sale chairman, asked her to a.ssisl in stuffing the 'i'Mx campaign envelopes. Mrs. Brown, widow of the late W. H. Brown, who owned and operated Medford's first auto shop, where the Grand Ho tel now stands, has lived in Med- ford 40 years. The Browns estab lished their first home on Coker Butte, then built the residence on the east side, which is now the M. N. Hogan home. Mrs. Brown has always lead an active business life, too. She was in charge of the American Laundry office and in the county clerk's office, where she made many friends. Other volunteers, who have aided this drive in Medford are Mrs. Glenn Fabrick, Mrs. R. G. Phair and Miss Nancy Day. Mrs. Glenn A. Gibbons, county chairman, yesterday described the sale as one of the most suc cessful in its far reaching educa tional campaign, because of the participation of so many Indi viduals and groups. FIRST BRICK HOUSE IN KENTUCKY STILL GOOD Crab Orchard, Ky. (U.R) Bricks were carried from Vir ginia on the backs of slaves to build the first brick house in Kentucky, which still Is standing In Lincoln county. The initials of the original owner, William Whitley, are worked into the brick above the front door of the house. And Whitley didn't forget his wife when he was placing the mono grams. Mrs. Whitley a initials, "E. W.," were placed over the kitchen door in the rear. The town of Selma in Fresno county was Incorporated March 15, 1893. BucUet Shoppers Are Targets of Canada Bankers Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) State banking authorities are pressing the fight they concede is none too successful against the "bucket-shop wolves" of Toronto, Canada, who offer gold mine stocks for sale. The Federal Securities com mission has estimated that the illegal brokers, banned from business in this country, take $1,000,000 each week from gul lible citizens. In Nebraska, cease and desist orders are issued against each firm brought to the attention of the state banking department. The orders are inadequate, how ever as soon as one stock is barred from sale, another takes its place. The illegal brokers use mail and long-distance telephone calls to sell their stocks, thus prevent ing the state from filing criminal charges, it was explained. English was declared Nebras ka'! official language In 1920. $CtTS "V. x Srrv PASTEURIZED SKIM TftiU DD$ TO ITS (OODNESS This is the second week of Safeway's money-saving Pre-Holiday Sale ... an event offering values that will entice you to shop now, while stores are less crowded and supplies plentiful.
