Is Post-War Medical Goal

Childbirth

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS

The birthrate is reaching new peaks and it is natural that much publicity should be given to the new technique of painless childbirth. The method, which was announced early this year, has for some time undergone intensive study in a number of places and has been found to be safe in all instances and successful in most. The publicity has, however, over-reached the teaching of the tech-

nique and the possibilities of its spread. Many want it, snd few can 1have it, because 2 will take time to train men to be expert in its use, and it will take more time to arrange the details for the _X practical application of the technique in the hospitals over the country. The technique . Masters does not alter in any way the established principles of good y~obstetrical care. They are still essential.

Nerves Are Blocked

It calls for the addition of a new method of anesthesia. This method consists of blocking the nerves that carry impulses of pain by local anesthetic agents in & manner similar to the more familiar nerve-block used by the dentist. The period of obliteration of’ pain from a single injection of the anesthetic is about an hour. Though this is satisfactory for short, minor operations, it is of little use during childbirth, and the new technique provides for repeated injections, given as frequently as needed, through a special, flexible needle left in place as long as labor lasts.

Throughout all this period, the.

progress of the anesthesia must be watched by a trained anesthetist. Few hospitals are now staffed by anesthetists trained in the procedure, and even fewer have

enough anesthetists to watch each woman in the hospital throughout the period of labor.

Mother Is Conscious

The problem of accomplishing painless childbirth may now be said: to be fairly well solved, but the numerous difficult problems, involved in making it available, generally remain. Painless child-birth is in the same stage as post-war aviation or pre-fabricated housing. The advantage of this new method of analgesia, in addition to the obligation of pain, is that the mother is conscious and capable of co-operating—a factor which frequently shortens the duration of labor. The child is in no way affected by the procedure, a factor which is a disadvantage in other types of anesthesia, The notion that pain enhances maternal love has been demonstrated by several hundred mothers so far delivered under the new procedure to be an erroneous rationalization of a sequence of events which could not be successfully altered heretofore.

‘Backers Withdraw, Zoning Board Tavern Bill Is Killed

An anti-liquor ordinance designed to place the location and control of taverns under jurisdiction of the city zoning board was’ withdrawn from city council by the Carrie Na- * tion Anti-Liquor League, Inc, its former sponsor, today. Mrs. BE. D. James, 626 Massachusetts ave., president and organ{izer of the Carrie Nation group, last night appeared before the council to urge that the measure be strick‘en from the files because she had been advised of its illegality. She said the ordinance had been drawn by George Henry, Indian‘apolis attorney.

comment. Her own private attorney told her, said Mrs. James, that the ordinance apparently conflicted with prerogatives granted exclusively to state and county liquor control authorities. Councilmen advised her of the same flaw, she said, and consequently she requested that it be withdrawn.

SENATE GROUP

HITS ATTITUDE

Calls. for Prompt Correction Of ‘Business as Usual’ Viewpoint.

WASHINGTON, June 22 (U, PJ). —A senate military affairs subcommittee, warning that civilian morale and the home front effort have sagged dangerously, today called for prompt correction of the “business as usual” attitude of government,

business and labor—an attitude which it said has been retarding war production. The committee predicted that the allies will lose the initiative in the war unless the home front quickly goes ‘all-out for war. “To accomplish this,” the subcommittee said, “a vigorous policy of programming, scheduling and actively directing the war agencies in the performance of their mutually dependent programs must be put into effect.” It said ‘that creation of the office of war mobilization was a first step in lifting the nation from the present “deepening crisis,” some of the symptoms of which the committee described as “recurring strikes” and administration failure to attack the root cause of unrest; the “wrangling for control” by competing government agenc.es while black markets and shortages of various items continue to flourish; and “unwarranted attacks from divisive forces who for selfish ends are willing to risk precipitation of an internal crisis at a time when our armed forces are mobilized for decisive offensive.”

GASOLINE QUOTA FOR TRUCKS CUT

10-40% Slash Is Ordered Here to Avoid Shortages

And Conserve Vehicles. Cuts in gasoline rations ranging

‘from 10 to 40 per cent for com-

mercial vehicles. operating under certificates of war necessity are being made to avoid a shortage similar to that in the East, George F. Burnett, Indianapolis area manager for the office of defense transportation, announced today. Revisions in allotments, according to ODT officials, are being made to cut down on gasoline and to extend the lifetime of trucks. Although operations are to be held to essential : transportation only, Mr. Burnett said that anyone receiving reduced certificates may appeal to the ODT.

Try to Avoid Guesswork

More gasoline will be allotted if the need is essential, he said, but persons appealing myst show actual records of operation for the first quarter of the year. In an attempt to eliminate all guesswork in allotments, Mr. Burnett stated that definite reasons for needing so much gas for so many miles must be given. Forms will be mailed at the end of this week to single and fleet unit operators for the continuation of tire inspection records for commercial vehicles. The form for single unit operators, CWN 17, also includes space for weekly operation reports.

MAN, 70, PAYS $12 FOR TAKING A NAP

Richard Henninger, 70-year-old farmer of near Shelbyville, went to jail today because he didn’t have $12 to pay for a nap he took here yesterday. ; Henninger walked into a back yard in the 800 block on E. Raymond st, took a washing off the drying line, placed it in a pile, then went to sleep on it. In municipal court today, Judge John Niblack fined him $1 and costs for being drunk and the same for

This is the first of six articles on home canning prepared by experts of the U. S. department of agriculture. It is suggested that you clip and save each installment.

also form a defense against spending the family’s cash income for foods which can be grown and preserved at home. In planning for a canning campaign in the home, it is best to think early where the food is coming from. "By planning right now for the canning season you will have a wider variety and better quality of fruits and vegetables. There won't be any bottlenecks in your canning program. By checking your records of last year—if you kept them—you’ll know how to grow and can according to the particular needs of your family,

Plan Adequate Crop

Knowing how much jeapned food the family will need, plan the garden to supply adequate amounts both for canning and for use fresh from the garden to the table. Grow a good variety of the vegetables that are highest in food value. Choose varieties that are especially suitable for canning. "If you buy food for canning purposes, remember ‘the method of canning food affects the vitamin content to some extent. With the possible exception . of vitamin C there may be no serious loss during the canning process. In order to preserve all the vitamins possible in canned products, emphasis, is placed on canning foods very soon after they are gathered and on carrying’ through every step of the process rapidly. Pre-cooking foods for a short time, packing them hot, and processing them in the containers help to preserve the vitamin value. None of the minerals in food need be lost in ‘canning, provided the liquid in which they are precooked is used to fill up the containers, and provided the entire contents of the can is served.

Greens Are Important.

In planning a victory garden with canning in mind, don’t overlook the green leafy vegetables—chard, collards, kale, beet and turnip greens. All are of great importance and one or another of them should be available from early spring ou-

Tomatoes and beans are so widely adapted that they should be generally and generously grown. They are easy to can. Beets and carrots and onions can be canned or stored for some time as well as used fresh. It is very likely that some fruits and vegetables may be scarce on many plentiful city markets. Plan to substitute vegetables for others that may be hard to grow or get.

42 Million Working

“This year 42 million women in the U. 8. between the ages of 18 and 65 will be working this year,” Mr. Weiss said. “Some six million will be working in war plants, 13 million will have taken over civilian jobs formerly performed by men, and 23 million will be doing some kind of volunteer war work in addition to managing their homes. “This great army of women— practically all of them on double duty—has the important job of safeguarding the nation’s health through nutritious meals .and maintaining good morale by keeping things going right at home.” At the rheetings the housewives will discuss health-building meals, marketing, meal preparation, rationing, shortages and how to plan in order to operate most efficiently. The Indianapolis Health-for-Victory association is comprised of several local firms sponsoring the meetings for their employees’ homemakers.

TEST WATER AT 26TH ST. BEACH

City to Ban Swimming There if River Is Found To Be Polluted.

Tests are being completed today by the state health board to determine whether or not the 26th st.

He said sewage is being diverted into the river at 56th st., due to a cave-in at a sewage pumping station. “If the state board requests us to close the beach, we will do so immediately,” Mr. Pottenger explained, “Until then we will keep it open, because we want to prevent children from swimming in the river without supervision, which might result in drownings.” Only the board's tests can defermine pollution of the beach, and these tests will be the basis for

OPA PREDICTEL

Bankhead Expects Sens To Restore Some Funds Cut Out by House.

WASHINGTON, June 22 (U.P.) —=Senator John H. Bankhead (Dy Ala.), a leader of the senate farm bloc, predicted today that final congressional action on the controversy over the. OPA would result in at least a partial OPA victory. His prediction came after Price Administrator Prentiss M., B spent most of yesterday at the ig capitol trying to persuade his fore mer colleagues to “give me a faig chance to do the job.” No action on either the OPA ape propriation for fiscal 1944 or the moves to restrict or abolish the agency's subsidy-rollback. Jrosraiiy; are scheduled in either the sena or house today. But the joint cons gressional economy committes called Secretary of Commerce Jessa Jones whose Reconstruction nance Corp. is scheduled to fine the rollback subsidies already ans nounced on butler, meat and. coffee.

Indorses Some Subsidy

Bankhead summed up what he thought would be the result of present row over OPA in congress. with the prediction that: 1. Enough funds would be ree stored to the war agencies appros priation bill fo permit OPA to wage a vigorous war against infla= tion. The house slashed $35,000,000 from OPA’s original $165, 000,000: budget. 2. Sufficient checks and balances on subsidy payments would be voted permit- OPA to hold the line
