Laxity 0f ilealth Examinations

Slipshod methods used by WW0 health officials in conducting free health examinations in publ.lc schools are a. menace to the chil- dren's health, according to results of a ' nation-wide survey just published in the Women's Home

Companion.

"One of the cruelest health scandals of our generation is masked by s. fine ideal." reports illc magazine in an article “Con- demned to Neglect." "Actually nost of thesc (health) examinat- ions are so slipshod that far from protecting our children, they‘ are a real menace to their welfare."

After a study made 'of school examination programs in all forty- eight states. the magazine reveals that less than one child out of lilteen in public schools today receives more than a casual medical going-over which rarely detects anything but the most obvious surface physical defects.

These lax health examinations not only miss a myriad ills, but in many cases school doctors have recommended totally unnecessary treatment such‘ as tons ilectomies.

A physician in a midwestern city who has examined more than tnn thousand school children was quoted. "Too often all we have time to do is look in a child's mouth and tell his mother he has to have his tonsils out." -

Such laxity however, is not al- ways tho fault of school physicians. says the author of the Companion article. Capable, weli-lntentloned doctors are often defeated by hoards oi education and school sperintsndents who want to pile up a large number oi examinations to make their records look good.

in view of legislation on school

i health pending at local, state and federal levels the time for com- munity action is ripe says the magazine and suggests that civic groups give the school health ex- aminations a stern once-over.

Psychologist Says Pyramid Clubs" “Mass Delusion"

WASHINGTON, March 24 — (AP) - A psychologist said today that pyramid clubs are s. mass deluslonindicating a mild form of psycho-neurosis.

But don't be alarmed. The pro- lessor says similar symptoms have been observed back in the Middle Axes. '

Dr. Jesse W. Sprowls, professor of abnormal psychology at Mary- land University, and William D. Blair, a Silver Spring, Md, bank vice-president, discussed pyramid- ing over radio station WGAY.

Pyramid‘ clubs work like this:

f Therels a party for eight, and the charge is $1. Then everyone has to get two friends to come into the pyramid club, and_ the two friends have to get two friends apiece, who have to get. . . (you get the ideal). If all goes well in l2 days you collect $2,048. '

The thing is running so wild in in Washington that even the police are worried. ,

"The urge to get something for nothing is not new," said Dr. Sprowis. "You sec, we all live in a real world and 'a wish world. Sometimes we are only dimly aware of our wish world."

And so, when something like this comets along, we don't ask questions. We put up a buck — and hopefully hold out our bucket.

"Yet ariyone," said Blair, "can see that if someone gets $1,000 it means that l,0il) people have lost a buck apiece.“

“The collective mind is a whole lot mora stupid than the indivi- dual mind," said Dr. Sprowis.

Lack of Manpower Auslralim Worry

BY LESLIE BBODIE (Canadian Prose Correspondent)

SYDNEY. Australia, March 24- (CP) - Australia's unemployment figures have dropped to an all time low. Today there are less than 7,000 unemployed union work- ers in the country. ‘This figure 1n- cludes the unemployabies and many persons off from work through long illness.

In the employment field there is an estimated 300,000 jobs waiting to be filled.

Newspapers carry columns of at- tractive "Positions Vacant" while factories in many instances have regular "Staff Wanted” placards prominently displayed.

No solution to the present labor shortage appears in sight. Largo male immigration has been sug- gested, but lack of shipping and apartments to house newcomers, are big problems.

True, immigrants are arriving at a greater rate than at any time in Australian history, but they all have housing worries. Some British migrants have gone home. The stories of hardship some of them tell on their return have both angered and amused Australians.

But underlying the independ- ence that today's labor shortage has given to lower income work- ers is a feeling of uneasiness.

Fear Deprellon

Warkers read stories of unem- ployment in the United states and similar stories from other coun- tries, and they rbmeber the de- pression days of the early 1030s when over 124,000 unionists were out of work.

Young men and women in in- dustry today have bitter memorial of the hardships many of than suffered as children during that period. Much oi the prevailing “go- slow" tactics in industry can bo traced to a fear that over-pro- duction. will bring about another depression.

Tho president of thejustrslian Trades and Labor Council, Percy J. Clarey, said recently that one oi the ways to overcome laborts fear that increased effort and higher output would lead to over-product- ion and unemployment was to satisfy the worker that full em- ployment could operate indefinite-

"The mistakes of 20 years ago, as reflected in the conditions ex- perienced by Australian workers in the world wide depression, has had a profound effect on Labor though," said Clarey. “The suspic- ions and antagonist-n- created can be removed only by constant education about the now outlook."

The new outlook Clarey referred to is the government's policy of full employment for all no matter what the circumstances.

Australia's prosperity is based on high price of primary products. wool, wheat and dairy produce. Should world prices for these com- modities crash, Australia's economy will nose-dive.

AMI-It 10.000 tons of uranium would produce tn! Pﬁsent yearly electrical power of the entire world. '

This ﬁrst glimpse of what the world is likely towant in atomic tonnage: stems from a study by Dr. Robert I". Baohar, one of the four United States Atomic Energy Commissioners.

Dr. Bschcr says 1.000 tons would make l’l Per cont of the electric 111905: the United States used in

He explains how the 1.000 tons would be expected to work. ‘This tonnage is ordinary uranium known as 238, which includes the uranium 280 that splits and gives the heat to make electric power. in 1.000 tons there is only a little more than seven tons of the split- ting 235. That seven is,not enough to give 17 per cent of the coun- try‘; electrical power. '

But while this seven tons is splitting, it automatically changes somaof the ordinary uranium in- l0 the new metal plutonium. This new metal dividend is nearly three tons a year. who plutonium splits and gives heat. Added to the sev- en tons it gives the l'l per cent yield.

Dr. Escher says each pound of the atom-splitting 235. or pluton- ium. equals in power about 25 carloads of coal.

LONDON, March 34 -- (C?) - What price glory?

Canadian mink coat ﬂor four hours, £50 ($300); Jewelry for four- hours, £50 - total £100.

These can be hired from Henry West, dapper, 66-year-old London furrler. The mink is worth £3,000, a sapphire clip set in fine white diamonds £1,230, a square - cut matching emerald £1,210.

But the mink and jewels do not walk until Mr. West first has re- ferences from a bank, a business and also one-third of the hire fee as deposit.

The borrowing business is fash- ionable these days - especially

look their best for a wedding, or film stars wishing to make a hit at a first night.

‘Other tariffs include:

Russian ermine, £15; phantom beaver, £15; persian lamb, £15; and silver fox, £1. 1s.

‘If the mink is the coat chosen West includes his advice:

“Don't sprinkle perfume on the coat -' stale smell; are not good for furs. Don't thrust your hands in the pockets — they hight sag. And if you drink, don't let any- thing drip.

"And." adds West - making the coat and jewels seem pounds
