World Would Grind
To Halt Without
Use of Tin Cans
New York - IDPH - Before
that tin can goes into the gar
bage bag, take a second look.
It has become an inspiration
lor authors.
"Remove the tin can from
today's civilization, and our
world would slowly grind to
a halt," a booklet said.
"Thousands of companies,
millions of persons and many
countries have come to de
pend on the tin can as the
basis for their lives and liveli
hoods. "The tin can is a way of
life to fledgling countries on
the African continent and
along the perimeter of South
east Asia, as well as in the
more advanced nations of Eu
rope, South America and
North America."
Before there is a sound of
breaking bottles, it should be
explained that t h e "litera
ture" comes from the Can
Manufacturers Institute, Inc.,
Washington, D. C, in a book
let called "The Metal Can
Its Past, Present and Future."
Tinless Cans
The "tin can" is not entire
ly that any longer, and never
ww A can purely of tin
would be soft and unmanage-
i able under present or past
! conditions of transporta
J tion and storage. The book
i let and by no chance is
! it called "The Metal Can,"
! etc., for nothing explains
that "when the first can was
made it was tinned by dip
; ping the iron sncct into mol
ten tin." But . . .
It even goes so far as to
suy in small emphasis on
page 10 that "there are even
some types of cans without
tin."
So, it never was a truly
"tin" can. Originally, it was
tinned, a thin-walled kettle
or carrier with a coating of
tin to keep its contents from
getting rusty or corroded.
But in popular speech, say
ing "tinned" with the full ev
tra sound become? lost in a
hurry and comes out "tin."

You now have nationwide Direct
Distance Dialing. Now you can dial your own station-to-station calls direct to
most places in the nation. There are only four simple steps to remember:
1. First dial "I" this connects you to the Direct Distance Dial
ing equipment,
2. Dial the 3-digit area code of the location you're calling (if your call
is going outside of Oregon).
,1. Dial the complete telephone numlxr.
4. Give the operator the number you are calling from, if she asks (or it.
We have mailed you a reminder folder on this new service. This and your tele
phone directory tell you everything you need to know about Direct Distance
Dialing - DDD. You'll find Direct Distance Dialing is fun. Try it . . . today.

Or eventually just comes
out "can." No adjective, ev
eryone knows what is a tin
can, even if one used to drive
one.
There are, explains the in
stitute, more than 600 sizes,
shapes and styles of cans cur
rently in production. Rough
ly, they are food cans and
non-ford. About eight of ten
of them, if you want to count
what goes out for the garbage
man or for the trash man sep
arately, are for food, and the
"others are for things which
are better not to eat, like
paint, oil, tooth powder, in
secticides, shoe polish, gaso
line, varnish.
The one which was popular
before frozen goods became
so prominent in the home
generally was cylindrical, un
less It held sardines. Like ev
erything else, the once-popular
shape has changed. Cans
now are not only cylindrical
(there are the ones which
hold beer, beans, stew, soup),
oval (these once were used
mostly for sardines) but now
are oblong, square and flat.
Evolution In Labels
Most; cans that one remem
bers if he is more than 15
years old had a paper label.
But, says the institute, this
no longer is so. In enamel
finishes alone there now are
24 different kinds of coating
available, and if you read
from the outside in, there are
"at least 2,430 possible com
binations of metal alloys,
tempers, coatings and enam
els which are currently avail
able to devise the ideal metal
container for a product . . ."
But since nobody who is
anybody looks back at the
can that was, what of the fu
ture? "The can of tomorrow,"
says the institute
even more efficient, econom
ical and versatile than a. y
can In existence today.''
"The can manufacturing in
dustry will never be content
to stand still."

Cause of Beginning Deafness
In Children
In a recent article in "Con
sultant" Professor David My
ers of Temple University dis
cussed the
p r o b 1 em of
the "serious
otitis media"
o f children.
Serious
means that
there is a lit
tle fluid pres
ent some-

serum which forms when
blood clots, or like the whey
that forms when cheese is
made from milk. Otitis means
an inflammation of one or
both ears, and "media" means
that it is the middle ear that
is involved.
Our hearing mechanism is
divided into the external the
middle and the inner ear. The
external ear runs to the ear
drum. From the ear drum the
sound waves are transmitted
through three tiny bones t
the stapes window. Beyond
this windbw is the inner rtr
with its tiny marimba-like
mechanism, connected to the
brain by many nerve fibers
As we all know, children
often can get a serious in
flammation of the mastoid
cells which make up much
of the mastoid part of the
"temporal bone the part
which is to be found back of
the ear.
Infection Cleared
Until the antibiotics were
found, each year thousands
of children had to have a
mastoidectomy an opera-
m
will beltoin in which the diseased
mastoid cells had to be clean
ed out. Of late, ear m"n have
been finding cases in which
the antibiotic they gave
quickly cleared up the serious
infection in the ear and mas-

toid cells, but left some fluid
in the middle ear. Sometimes
the child can feel "something
in there," but often he does
not complain, and all his
mother notices is that h i s
grades in school have fallen.
The family doctor may then
be wise enough to test the
child's hearing, but wrh or
dinary methods the hearing
may seem to be normal.
But it isn't, and the child
U inattentive at school be
cause it is too great an effort
for him to keep in touch with
what is going on. What is sad
is that a fcrious otitis media
if not promptly treated
can go on to produce serious
changes in the middle ear and
ultimate loss of hearing.
What the doctor murt remem
ber then is that the child
who was saved from a mas
toiditis by antibiotics later
can have a serous otitis me
dia. He should be sent to be
examined by a good ear man

Tesi Will Show Loss
A test of the child's hear
ing with a modern type of
electronic machine will show
a loss. In such cases striking
improvement can result from
an early "myringotomy."
This means the making of a
cut in the ear drum through
which the fluid in the mid
dle ear can be drained out.
In many cases one such drain
age is enough, but in other
cases there will have to be
s-everal drainages. Dr. Bever
ly W. Armstrong, Charlotte,

plastic tube can be tl into

to get into the ear. Normal
ly, this air should come up

cases of serious otitis the Eus
tachian tube is not working
well.
What is so helpful is that
we now know enough to
watch out for what is pretty
much a new post-penicillin
disease. And, as Dr. Myers
has pointed out, it is a disease
which should be recognized
as early as possible, so that
the child's hearing can be saved.
