UHEALTII HORIZONS : Safer Operations for Older People With present-day methods, older people can undergo necessary opera tions with great success. Results even in 80- and 90-year-old patients . are now so good that "Age alone is not a contraindication to necessary surgery" any longer, Reports Dr. S. & Ziffren of Iowa City. One reason that operations are so successful now is that we have such good protection against infection, y- The antibiotics penicillin, neomy cin, Terramycin, and several others have made surgery safer for everyone. Infections like peritoni tis, a once-dreaded aftermath of abdominal surgery, have become rare. A prominent surgeon recently 1 stated that peritonitis had not de veloped in any of his patients since 1941. , While such' measures as use of antibiotics are up to the surgeon, some of Dr. Ziffren's recommenda tions require the cooperation of the patient himself. Before the opera tion, for example, the older person , can help himself by eating well. Foods like meat, fish and dairy ! products supply tissue - building ! materials that your body will need for rapid recovery. Vitamins are 'important, too. A good vitamin preparation in the form of tablets or capsules is usually advised, and should be taken regularly. After the operation, the older patient must resist the temptation ' , Toll Bridge "Say, old man, does your wife play contract bridge?"

It has been found that people recover more quickly from operations if they overcome their fears and take a certain amount of exercise. "Every effort must be made to have these patients out of bed and in a chair on the day of operation and several times daily thereafter, says Dr. Ziffren. Patients are urged to walk to the bathroom and to visit around the ward.

The Fort Hood soldiers worked around the clock in shifts. With picks and shovels, dump trucks, cranes, a wrecker,, and other Army equipment, they helped dig lifeless bodies out of the rubble, demolished dangerous buildings and cleared debris from the 12-block area around the City Hall and other disaster areas. By 3 P. M., May 15, the soldiers had clocked 8,000 man hours on the job. They added up these accomplish ments: 28,000 cubic yards of rubble carried away, 14 bodies recovered, 11 dangerous buildings wrecked, four ivies of streets cleared, and 20,000 miles driven. This Army assistance was not in the nature of "extra-curricular" ac tivities. As far back as George Washing ton's time, the Army has helped civil governments in times of crisis. It is the Army's responsibility to coordinate relief activities of all military ser vices when a disaster gets beyond-the capabilities of civil authorities. Terhaps the best example of how; - Army disaster aid is received was found in this reassuring message spoken over a loud speaker soon after the tornado struck Waco: ','We have the Army in here now. We have plenty of help. Will all ci vilians not needed in the area please go home. Too many people create a hazards." Industry Attracted To North Carolina North Carolina industry is becom ing more diversified and is moving into eastern and western counties with increasing strength, Paul Kelly reports to the State Board of Con servation and Development. Kelly, chief of the board's division if commerce and industry, said that 'ist year 144 new industries either "pri startd or announced for North Carolina. These offer prospective em ilovment for 11.700 workers, with in vestments of more than $37,000,000. side's. there were 91 expansions of existing industry at a cost of $23, 100.000 which would employ 4,600 more workers. , And since ne prenared that report late last month, Kelly added, 10 new projects have been announced or are about to be announced which will em ploy 1,800 more workers.
