The' Detroit hit and tun driver who ran down two teen-agfe girls, got a poor start on the New Year. - ’ =o— - o Otto Hoffman will continue as president of the board of couhty commissioners, his election being made with the annual reorganization of this official body. The commissioners have re-appointed • the various officials and filled au existing vacancy by naming Dr. •Fames Burk, county physician. The roster of public officials is complete and official duties will be administered by them for another year. —-o The New York and Arizona air* plane tragedies make the country sick-at-heart. Fifty-four persons were killed in the two crashes, with fourteen Survivors in the New York crash. While it is realized that more air miles are flown and the number of passengers has increased, the crack-ups during the past year seem to be unusually high. Are the elements solely to blame for the tragedies, . or have we neglected to train our pilots prpperly? In both of the recent disasters, the planes were flying too low, causing them to hit the mountain side. o : 0 •The Christmas season was as good" as any . ever experienced by .mt st American stores, but on the other side of the Atlantic mer-chitht-s in London say that their bu iness was the worst within tip ir memory’.

At any rate, Londoners weren’t buying many gifts, and the merchant* felt it keenly. Such a sharp contrast in buying is evidence oif the great difference in economic conditions between » America and most of the nations ot JSurope, where too few have large buying power. ■" •' ■ —*-o o Every day this year will have its politics / for 1952 is a presidential election year and -for that irdtson political talk will be one i of the principle American topics.

Treating Severe Frostbite i

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. NEWS reports and movies of winder fighting in Korea have made most people familiar with tlm dangers of frostbite. ; it is. less well known that every\ winter in this country numerous pebplq are exposed to the cold long enough to suffer severe frostbite aijd to lose .parts of limbs or even entire limbs, This happens not only in country areas, but even in the midst of crowded cities. Two' drugs, heparin and dicujnaiol, ’are.now being used to prevent reduce permanent damage from frostbite. V Long Exposure - The hands, arms, feet, legs, ears and' nose are the parts usually exposed to extreme cold. Long exposure causes a contraction of the small ■ blood /vessels that supply these partss There is also much spas-Hr-es-these blood vessels, and the blood forms clots. In this way, can destroy the circulation to a leg or arm. The tissues in these'parts may even die for lack of I blood and become gangrenous, a cohditibn that often makes it necessary to amputate a foot or'arm. The two drugs that have recently helped frostbite belong to a group which) prevent the blood frourciot- ~ ting. pThey are known as anticoagu-

lants. Method Need- i The method of using them has been, first, to inject the heparin into a vein. This decreased the clotting of blood as soon as possible. The next step is to give the dicumarol by mouth, in order- tv keep up the anticlottmg effect for from 10 to 14 days. The clotting level of the blood must ilbe kepß at about 10 to 20 per dent; of normal. Tests have shown that in Iraoat cases the frostbitten liijibs suffered little* permanent damage if they received this treatment early enough. Where damage was joriavoidable, the anticoaguients made it less severe than might have been expected. •! ' ' I \-It must he kept in mihd that, in addition 4.0 .this treatment,'the frozen limb should be allowed to thaW ai normal rooty temperature. Antibiotic drugs, such as penicillin and should also be'.given sot a few days, until the temperatitro is normal. It is helpful to wrap thk injured limb in a pressure bahdagV. Os course, this treatment can only be -given by a physician, w ho will be constantly on the watch for any complications that could become dankercrufe due to deduced blood dotting. — ~Va \• 1- ■ H 1 . ’ • I ■ !
