Need for Medical Check-ups'

By HIRMAN N. BUNDtSEN, M.D. 1 ATTENTION is being focused, by advertising campaigns and man’s own good common sense, on the advantages of preventive medicine. Periodic health examination is one of the most effective ways of carrying out this program, thanks to its simplicity, and it is getting a large share of the public interest. Jndustrial groups are undergoing regular health examinations in order to determine their present status of health and to root out any disease that may be in the process of developing. Practice Encouraged Much of the interest in these periodic health examinations is due to the fact that larger and more progressive industrial fifms are encouraging this practice in order to keep their employes healthy. Also/many youig men out of the armed services/ particularly the Air Force, have learned that periodic examinations can t prevent serious illness In many instances. Insurance as well as labor groups are among those favoring this program. When large scale examinations are attempted, It has been found that only a very few people, as

The pressure of the American wheat surplus is felt in many other parts of the world. One country affected by the surplus is Canada, which ships eighty per cent of its wheat production to Great Britain. Our government, in order to meet the problem is considering allowing' Britain to pay for American wheat with pounds sterling Instead of dollars. Until now both Canada and the United States have sold wheat to Britain on a dollar payment basis. Accepting sterling would give the U.S. an advantage over Canada which might well disturb that country’s \ economy, unless it, too, is willing to take pounds. And Canada is our friendly neighborA 0 0 In 3-D:— Ad lai Stevenson Interpreted Tuesday’s election results in 3-D, “the fruit of Republican promise and performance is: Dissatisfaction, Disillusion and Defeat’*. 0 0 Need For Clarity:— Both Secretary of Defense Wilson and Secretary of State Dulles state that there are no plans for* the removal of any American troops from Europe. Previously the Secretary of Defense said that in the long run the development of new and mqre efficient weapons may make it possible for us to reduce the number of troop's we have in Europe. His statement needed clarification. The idea of removing our troops would trouble our Allies. In many European countries the heads of state favor participation in the NATO army against possible aggression. But in those countries there are powerful groups which oppose participation in the Army. Pulling , out American troops might provide that opposition with the lever to upset cooperation with the United States. The incident points out one thing. American spokesmen, particularly those in high places, should be careful about their public statement?. It is not enough that what they say should be understood. It is necessary' that their remarks contain as little chance of being misunderstood as is possible in a world where the best forms of communication are all too imperfect.. ‘

little as eighteen per cent, are free of all abnormalities. This | does not mean that these abnormalities are all severe, but it does ’ signify that they should be corrected as soon as possible. Early Detection I The most frequent difficulties i found art overweight, elevated j blood pressure, ruptures, diffi- ■ culties in Vision or hearing, cer- - tain cardiograph changes, or kld- • ney ailments. These periodic ex- ‘ aminations will detect many of > these defects at their very be--1 ginning. thus, the Individual can take measures to prevent further recurrence of the difficulty or » the probable illness that might ' occur if the defect were allowed I to progress. I QUESTION AND ANSWER i T. R.: About fifteen years ago, I i had erysipelas and almost died, i Why is it we do not hear about - this infection any more? 1 Answer: Erysipelas, caused by x the streptococcus germ, at one 7 time was a very fatal disease. In s this condition, the skin over cere tain parts of the body becomes red and swollen. Since the advent s of penicillin and the other antl--1 biotics, this disease is no longer s a major medical problem.
