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

Washington, Dec. 13 flJ.R)
The army air forces disclosed
plans today for a peacetime ai
force of 400,055 men and 8,200

of the far eastern air forces and

"Once a Christmas seal sale
worker, always a seal sale work
er," so says Mrs. Grace Brown
77, who has participated in the
1945 drive. 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.
