Lewis, medical superintendent for the Eastern Arctic, Fractured bones are common; gangerine from frostbite is occas- fonal, and gunshot wounds rare for people living with high ~ powered rifles. Drownings are among the commonest cause of death for ad- ults, Severe rheumatic conditions were not seen, an no cases of ap-~ pendicitis or veneral diseases were encountered on the trip, The doc- tors found not one case of infected sore throat or tonsilitis, Dentists in the medical group found the general condition of teeth to be sound, Among the examining group were eye specialists from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, They found that vision among the Eskimos was good, Out of 1,647 Es- kimos 128 required glasses; out of 39 whites examined 20 needed glass- es. Greatest benefit from the glass- es came through use in sewing and hunting, By arrangement between the C.N.I.B, and the Department, these glasses are supplied free to the Eskomos by the government, The group found a scarcity of children of three years and under and estimated that nearly 60 per cent of all known deaths occured during these years, Since love of children is strong among the na- tives, the group could only attriQute this high rate of infant mortality to malnutrition and ignorance of early infant care. Pamphlets of pre-natal and infant care are being prepared in syllabic writing, now widely used Eastern Arctic na- tives, for distribution next year. Es- kimos learn quickly, and it is be- lieved that health standards can be raised through education. Clinical findings on all Eskimos examined have been card indexed. Statistics bore out suspicion that longevity was rare, the oldest man found was 67, and few beyond the age of 60 are known, It is consid- ered doubtful that Christianity has et supplanted the early Eskimo be- fies that the practice of self-de- struction by freezing or drowning when old age becomes a burden gives them a preferred treatment in a future state.

Haven't they been as signed to homes which the majority of house-hunters at home couldn't dream of finding or afford if they could find them? Can't they order steaks, chops, fresh Danish butter and milk, to say nothing of any number of other commodities folks back home can't get? They can, and they love it. Including children, dependents assigned to Berlin now total 829, with 1,009 more due to arrive by January 1, 1047, Although these dependents have been absorbed without a Jibple in the American sector of Berlin (with a German population. of about a million), they have made quite an impres- sion on the natives of Zehléndorf, the southwestern suburb which is the headquarters of the Office of Military Government, United States, In this more confining small-town atmosphere they Have become the equivalent of the "station wagon set," whose amuse. ments, activities and household affairs now form the bulk of the neighborhood gossip which for merly was concentrated on promi- nent Nazis living in Zohlondort, Modern Homes Few of the wives who sailed from the United States had any expectation of enjoying something soproaching a normal existence, ey were prepared to live in air. raid shelters and do their own housework under primitive condi- tions, Instead, they walked into completely equipped modern homes, many of which have all-electric kitchens and laundries, and sur- rounding gardens 'lush with ex- quisite flowers, A frenzy of activity by a small army of workmen had accomplished these wonders of renovation and redecoration prior to the dependents' arrival, All traces of minor bomb damage had been obliterated and plumbing had been repaired, ot all families stationed in Germany have fared as happily, however, Destruction of cities has resulted in a housing scarcity, and accommodations. in Frankfort-on. the-Main and elsewhere cannot be compared with the comfortable quarters in the undamaged sections of Berlin or in such untouched communities as Bad Nauheim and Holdelbong: ar's Aftermath American wives vividly realize that of the average German house- wife, Before they have been in Germany forty-eight hours, they have glimpsed enough to brin home to them the consequences o a lost war. They have seen the long, shabby and hopeless lines of shoppers, and they have seen scores of pedestrians harnessed to heavil laden cats, plodding along wit all manner of salvaged articles They've seen streams of working people sanyerging on the Army's outdoor messes for German ociv- ilian employees, with Germans dol. ing out soup and coffee and slices of brown bread, and have winced at the sight of women avidly scrap- ing up pebble-sized lumps of coal from passing wagons, Social Clubs The murmurings about the Army caste system have been negligible in Berlin, 'at least among the women, One explanation lies in the numerous social clubs set up for officers, non-coms and enlisted men of the lower ranks, which have Promptly formed the basis of ¢ genial social groups. Another is the Wveraty amusements avail able in this city, ranging from nightly grand opera to movies and including Practically every variety of athlet Srsailien swimming, Siding, tennis, golf, badminton, bowling and baseball (wives are consistent rooters at the twilight games), The my routines of Army families in Berlin are well estab- lished now that the first flurry of resettling is over, On the dot every morning school buses manned by GI's drive up to each home and take aboard the amall-fry for play- school in one of the buildings once housing the Kaiser Wilhelm In. atitute of Scientific Research, Shortly thereafter, an Army jeep, driven by a German civilian, ap- pears by pre-arrangement.

Maintain Books Smart, modern shops line either side of a wide arcade and here also are concentrated the various Army services for the men and their . dependents, such as tailor shops, auty parlors, library, post exchange and a small but modern movie theatre, The com- missary, half a block long, operates on the familiar "serve yourself" basis and has the same perambula. tor-type carts as do the American supermarkets, It has in addition gleaming white showcases full of assorted meats before which long queues eternally form.

When an actve case of tubercul~ osis is discovered the medical officer of health for Oshawa is notified immediately so that he may take the necessary follow-up measures and check the possibility of infec~ tion among members of the employ~ ee's immediate family, Since X-ray examinations began 17 active cases of tuberculosis have been discovered among employees, In almost every instance the disease was in its ear- ly stages and the employees In question have been cured or are in the process of being cured at sani tariums or through rest at home, Without such an examination the disease might have progressed to an advanced stage before the employ= ee realized his condition when a cure might have been difficult or mpossble, One of the most asatstactory ree sults of the examinations can be seen in the attitude of employees toward prevention of illness, Soarcely a day goes by without sev= eral employees coming in for med- foal advice. This service is given freely and where symptoms warrant it the employee is sent to his own doctor, A man may complain of a chest pain which may be nothing more than a strain but the mere fact of his coming indicates an in terest in his own health, Reveals Hidden Allments Chest X-ray examinations at the plant hospital have revealed not only tuberculosis but pneumonia, pleurisy, heart enlargements, aortic enlargements tumors, congenital abnormalities and chronic non-tube eroulosis progesses, In addition to chest examinations, the plant hospital deals with plant injuries or disabilities, A plant em~ ployee who has been off through sickness or injury visits the plané hospital Pusisan before return to work to determine if he is fi Sometimes it is necessary to put him on a lighter job or he may be sont home for an additional rest the contrast between their lot and | Period , The keynote of the GM health program is one of prevention and Dr, Williams feels that he has done much to improve the health of Osh« awa as a whole not alone from its direct effect on GM plant employ= ees but indirectly on members of their families, whose total number represents a large proportion of the oity"s 20,000 population, SEWAGE DISPOSAL Peterborough, Nov, 6--~(CP) = A bylaw authorizing $376,000 for ex tension and completion of the olty's sewage disposal plant will be ree ferred to the ratepayers for decision Deo, 2, City Counoll has agreed, Another one for $150,000 to take over the airport on Snamony Road will be discussed by Council later this week, again, it is nearly noon and buses deliver the smaller tots for lunch, The older children remain at play- school until the afternoon.
