Human Ear Said Not Intended for Jet Age Columbus, Oj(U.P.) Dr. Robert Carlton, an expert in hearing and jet aircraft, has concluded that the jet age is one "for which the human ear never was In tended." Dr. Carlton is a speech path ologist at Children's Mental Health Center here and a cap tain in the Air Force Reserve. He said prolonged exposure to the noise of jet engines can de stroy the hearing mechanism of the inner ear without hope of recovery. "Auditory fibers do not re generate after damage," he ex plained. He told fellow reservists that exposure to a jet engine going full tilt for two minutes so fa tigues parts of the inner ear that hearing does not return to nor mal for 24 hours. In guinea pigs subjected to the sound for 100 hours, parts of the inner ear were destroyed. After 600 hours, he said, de struction was complete. He recommended ear plugs, hard rubber on the outside, soft er rubber for comfort inside, for men working around jets. He said pilots' ears usually were protected sufficiently by their helmets and radio earphones. The Air Force and Navy air transport commands were merged into the Military Air Transport Service (MATS) under U.S. Air Force control on Feb. 4, 1948.

Mother feeds baby, daughter feeds doll baby; a f amilier picture in many homes as we celebrate Child Health Day on May 1, right in the middle of National Baby Week. Salem (U.R) Maj. Gen. Wil liam F. Dean, retired hero of the Korean war, will speak at Salem's armed forces day cele bration May 15. Portland (U.R) Residents of the Rockwood and Lynch communities east of here have voted to incorporate as a city to be known as Lynwood. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Baby Boom Keeps Baby Food Folks Buiy As we celebrate Child. Health Day, May 1, right in the middle of Nationa Baby Week, April 28 May 5, let's take a look at the diet of our growing children and pause a moment to pay tribute to those baby food folks who produce such a wealth of variety in nutrition-packed foods for babies and toddlers. The stork has done it again. Broken his own record by deliv ering more babies to more famil ies where there already were three, four or more children. This national trend (and attitude) toward bigger and better families continues to stump the experts, to quote Lucille Shearwood who supplies statistics and lively copy covering the baby food front. In other words, says L. S. that 1946 marriage-peak year is still paying dividends! All these new arrivals come equipped with sound effects de manding food! And the demands never stop. Long before mother starts infanticipating, the baby food producers must anticipate new demands. If they sat around waiting for baby statistics from Washington, the grocers' shelves would be bare and mothers would have to go back to but let's not even think about it; it's too dreadful to contemplate.

Child Health is Concern of Nation Few realize that emphasis on child health is so important that May 1 was designated Child Health Day by joint Congres sional resolution back in 1928 and has been celebrated with in creasing interest ever since. Each year significant phase of child welfare is chosen as the theme with emphasis on the year-around importance of child health both physical and emo tional. Today's thinking covers the well-being of all the world's children and it is expected that this theme will be introduced in the President's annual Child Health Day Proclamation. No doubt about it the future good health of our nation de pends very largely on what our growing boys and girls 'are eat ing today. Memo to Parents Parents need to be relaxed and free from fatigue to cope with the meal-time spirit of their youngsters and to make a happy home. To promote, good eating habits, , wise parents will set a good example by eating the right foods themselves. Assume that children will ac cept the food served; be calm and confident about it. Give children smaller servings, par ticularly of new foods. Let them ask for more. Expect some table accidents. As awkwardness goes, good man ners will come. Let children share in table conversation. En courage them to talk. This is no time for scolding and re-hashing mistakes or differences of opin ion of the day. Plan a quieting time before meals so children can come to table relaxed, not tense or tired. Family Check-List of Good Food Habits Parents can help children to be strong and happy through patient, consistent effort to build good food habits. Before they reach school age, children should learn to feed themselves ... to enjoy eating ... to like a vari ety of foods ... to eat enough of the right foods as indicated here. Each day, a growing child needs: ' Milk. Three to four glasses daily; to drink or combined with other foods, in ice cream, in cheese. Vegetables. Two or more serv ings daily other than potato. One green or yellow with greens often. Fruit. Two or more servings daily. At least one raw; citrus fruit or tomato daily. Eggs. Three to five a week; one daily preferred. Meat, Cheese, Fish, Poultry. One or more servings daily with dried beans, peas, peanuts, oc casionally. Cereal and Bread. Two or more servings daily, whole-grain or enriched. Added milk im proves nutritional values. Thursday, April 26, I95S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THRU Butter or Margarine. On bread and with other foods daily. Other Foods. To satisfy ap petite and complete growth and activity needs. These may be ad ditional servings of any of the above foods or simple desserts. Naturally, size of servings varies with the individual child. Table Hungry. Help your child come to the table hungry. Keep him from "piecing." If he is sel dom hungry, have him examined by a doctor who understands children. Child Comfort. Make your child comfortable at the table. Select a chair high enough for him arm to rest on the table. He should be able to rest both feet either on the floor or on a broad support. Use dishes and eating utensils he can manage. A salad fork is a good size for most pre school children. Use cups with handles large enough for him to hold and glasses that won't tip over easily. Self Feeding. Prepare the child's foods so that he can feed himself. Cut cooked vegetables, fruits and meat into "bite-size" pieces. Put chopped raw veg etable mixtures into sandwiches or let children eat pieces of lettuce or carrots sticks with fingers. These are easier for chil dren to eat than salads. Attractive Food. Use variety in color, form and texture of foods. Have some crisp or chewy food and some food with color in it at each meal. Youth Must Be Served Plenty of Milk Daily Nutritionists agree that a quart of milk daily is necessary for the making and maintaining of rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes, strong teeth and bones. Whole milk,- in all its varied and won derful forms is our most nearly perfect food. Because of the large amount of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin A in milk, it is superior to any other food for building strong bones and teeth. It also furnishes high quality protein and is one of the most important sources of riboflavin which along with vitamin A helps to keep the skin soft and healthy looking, the hair glossy and the eyes in good condition. Quart Needed Daily. Every child needs a quart of milk daily. Milk is so important in the diet that it is made readily available to school children at low cost for "between-meal" and lunch time drinking, under the Na tional School Lunch program. It is not necessary to drink all of this milk. Some may well be used in cream soups, creamed vegetables, puddings, milk sher bets, ice cream, custards and countless other delicious ways. Much milk goes on cereal, of course. Cook cereals in milk for added nutrition. Offer it more often in milk shakes. New Milk Shake Mix Children love milk shakes; like to make them. And it is now even easier than ever before. New on the market is a package milk shake mix that comes in the three most popular of all milk shake and ice cream fla vors; chocolate, strawberry and vanilla: Added to whole fresh milk with a bit of sugar, one package of the new shake mix makes two tall glasses of milk shake that surprisingly resembles the soda fountain milk shake. Nice and thick! Some miracle in the mix evidently thickens it. Seems that most children prefer chocolate even in milk shakes. Garlic Buying. It is best to buy one root of garlic at a time for the average family. It should be plump and firm with an un broken outer skin enclosing buds or cloves. A railway locomotive is over hauled every 60,000 miles. A motor truck requires an overhaul at about 20,000 miles, and an air craft engine is scheduled for a checkup after 30,000 miles. Lumber production in the U. S. in 1906 was 46,000,000 board feet, but only 37,500,000 board feet were produced in 1954 de spite a population gain.
