In \Vorld War 1, shock a..nd infection c.:wsed the largest per cent of death to the injured, but in the present war, blood pla rna transfu sions greatly reduce the hoGk danger, and the " Sulfa drugs" have minimized the possibility of infection, both the A rmy and N avy report. In vVorld W a r 2, the fir st aid stations have been moved up almost to the front lines, thus provided fa ter and better treatment of the wounded. " In the last wa r, wounded men were brought to t he hospital," which was stationed several miles behind the fighting f ront, "in this war, lhe hospital goes to the wounded men." According to Army records only 35 out of every 1,000 soldiers injured succumb to t heir battle wound . The death rate in the last war was 60 per 1,000. The Navy losse., are only 31.6 men in each 1,000 wounded. The Ma,rine Corps reports a death rate of only 31.5 death per 1,000 wounded. Nearly 60 per cent of soldi ers suffering head inju rie in World War 1 died, but in thi s war death from head injuries have been cut to 9 per cent-due to plasma and sulfa t r.eatments. home to workers everywhere the fact that they are not helping to win this war-that they are not back ing up their loved ones-unle.ss tbey make a real sacrifice.

The March of Dimes Infantile paralysis epidemics which surged to th eir highest point in several year during 1943 might have provided a major setback for America's war effort if it had not been for the dimes and dollars given by the American people during the annual celebrations of President Roo"evelt's birthday each January 30, declares Basil O'Connor, president of The National Foundation for Infantile P aralysis. The ton of the disease was materially less because the people were so well prepared against just uch an emergency, he states. "In the war against polio, a in any war, speed of action is decisive and this year when the shadow of this plague loomed large over our vital war effort it was of the utmost importance that we were prepared with money and equipment to marshal our forces swiftly to e ery point that the epidemi1. enemy invaded," he said. "It was particular! important that The National Foundation for I-nfantile Paralysis- which is owned and maintained b the American people -had trained hundreds of K enny technic1ans before the se rious outbreaks occurred." Due to the 1943 epidemics th re is. an in r a, ed need for contribut ions durin the 1944 Fund-Rai ·ing App- al which extends fr m J anuary 14th o 1 t inclu i e. o-Join the March of Dim - nd your dime · and dollar to th P re ident at the Whit House.

But it' hard f r m t ;\' rking p opl t think f th m elv s as being apitalists. Th only differ nc . b t\ en capital and work is time. v rk i , \vhat ou d today. Capital i ·hat y u ha r . 1 ft o r fr m w rk that wa done in the past. f. r in tance: kill i pital, be ause it i som thing gained by past work that h Ips make toda s Yvork mor ff cti . 1a hi~es are capital, b cau in them is stored up the work of the past, waiting to make todav '"'ork more eff ctive. Money i the m ans of swapping capital. Your life insurance policy is an example of this, because past work has been stored up in the form of dollars. As long as the policy-holder can work for himself, those dollars are u ed to help others do work ( because the insurance company invests them) . When the polic -holder can no longer work, the dollars come back. Ever r man \i\ ho develops skill, tools or useful property beyond what he spends in living is part v orker part capitalist. . Every man who reduces the amount of his work, either through lo afing on his own dough, or slowing down, or opposing efficient machines, or striking, directly reduces the rate of industrial p_rogress and good living for himself and all Americans. When the war is over, every man who keeps his money in a sock, or bank vault, will reduce the amount of work that can be done. Those two things are automa,tic. In normal times, when money works, men work. ]. H. McGraw, ]r.

A Double-B-a rrel Cannon Perhaps the Only One in the World Po ing otl the lawn at the City Hall in Athens, Georgia, is an unu ual rel ic of the C i · il \Var-a double-barrel cannon. T his unusual piece of arm ament-the brain child of a supporter of the Con{ec:leracy, was c;:ast in a foundry located in the eastern ection of the city of Ath ens during Civil \Var days, but it wa ~ not as succes ful as the inventor had hoped it would be. · · . . T h_is field".piec.e was designed to d i sc~arge two balls about /-three mches m . di ameter at the same u me. 'The ball were attached to a long iron chain,-with the 1dea of discharging the cannon at app roaching columns of the enemy, and1 in t he language of Charlie r..IIcCarthy, "mov ·'~m down.'" One can imagine the constern ation in the ranks of the enemy when, by some unseen power, a swath ten feet wide was cut through the columns of t he approaching enemy. Or perhaps with a battery of such armamen't, a whole army could he m.owed down in one blast. As the story goes, after the clouble-ba rrel cannoD; was built, a trial shot was neces a ry to pro e its uperiority over the old single barrel type a a mass ki ller. S a charge of powder '\Vas ramn1ed into b t h barrels, on top of whi ch was placed a cannon ball 9-ttached to an iron chain, and fire wa applied to both touch boles.

As a result whistling on board ship was forbidden. \Ve are informed that although the battleship's lot1d s eaker bellows most of the orders today, there is still a use for the whistle.

When a ship has foJ lowed an S.O .. signal to within twelve or fifteen miles of those sending out a distress signal, the ship's crew have to depend largely upon some visible signal- :uch as flares, rescue lamps, etc. The e lamps are connected to a small hand-cranked generator which I included in the rubb ~r raft equipment. In addition to. the re cue lamp which can be seen by aviators for 60 miles, the U. S. Naval bureau of aeronautic also provides each flyer with a supply of chemicals, described as, "a red flourescein crystalline powder, whid:, when dropped into the water makes a la rge yellow-green patch on the water, visible ten miles away from a plane 10,000 feet altitude. One small package of chemical three inches by five will light up a patch of water forty feet in diameter, which lasts for several hours. The glow is not alone confined to the surface of the water, but the powder ink to a depth of three to five feet-its specific gravity is such that it doe not sink deeper." This causes the entire top layer of water to ·glow, so that waves do not wipe the light off the oceants surface.

Their attitude has been without a parallel,-tbe sacrifice of financial gain has been · without any demands for their 'right" there have been no "strikes" by stockholders for greater dividends. In fact indu strial leaders have waived the future in favor of the needs of our country. Of course there are some who will contend that indu ~uy is profiteering-that is making an enormou profit on goods manufactured for war purpose , b1:1t figure speak for themselves and proves such an attack to be false . According to a report on 50 large industrial concerns publi hed recently, the figures for 1943 compared with 1942 show : Production up 85 per cent. Total wages up 96 per cent. Taxes up 193 per cent. Profits down 18 per cent. Dividends dmvn 23 per cent. Therefore, it is not difficult to ee th at, aside from the main is sue which is winning the wa r and p reserving liberty throu ghout the land, irrd1Jstry at the close of the war may not be able to provide the jobs for returning , old iers a they hope to do. t nless indu stry is allowed to set as ide the money necessa ry for equipping their plant with up-to-date ma 'h in and converting to peace-time production, a lar e number of bu sines es may not be able to survive po t war conditions. ~rios t of the machinery after the wa r will be pra ti ally wom out or obsolete, and it will Tequire la rge sums £money to replace this machinery, an i th e chances a re thar many of tb count ries that are not in the · ar, will b bett r p re~ pa r d, and able t ell us goods chea per th an we can p o·si bl~ mantrfa ture them.

R ada r, i a code word meaning "radio-detectin -and-rano-i no-.'' The instrument develope · an invisible ray of ultra-hio-h frequ ency wa e which are hurled into space, and when the ray t rikes a war hip, submarine or airplane 100 or 500 mile away it reflect back to its source, and electronjc devices measure the di tance and ascertains the direction in which the hip · ub or plane is traveling. If it is a plane, it will give you the altitude and speed. · T he in i ible ray will travel through darkness, fog , falling snow, smoke ~creen, etc., at the rate of 185,000 miles a second. R adar has become the eyes and ears of the Navy and Army and may contribute more than any other . ingle factor toward winning World \Var 2. · ccording to ma · azine tories, in non-technical language, this is the way it work : The wave penetrates the ether until it hi ts something, then the Radar wave is reflected by the object it strikes to it starting point. The time it takes for the Radar wave to start its journey and return indicates the di tance to the object it ha- found. Then electronic devices measu re the distance he enemy ship is from the Radar. It also record" the direction and speed of the enemy craft. R ad ar has proveR i valuable in convoy operations. W·ith the aid of it tho e in charge of a conv y are able to maintain const ant check on t he ships in the c nvoy as well as detect enemy ships, subs and planes a hundr d mile " away. Radar inst rumen on a plane tells pilot exa tly h w far they are above· ground-that is, when flying through fo o clouds mountain peaks are pointed ut in time f r · the pil t to escape di saster. Before the Radar was invented if the pilot di€1 not know the top graphy of the country ov r whi · h · e was fly ing there was dang r f a h ad- n · lli ion with the mountai!l peaks.

An Army Officer Comments Champion Loyalty on November 16, 1943 Reuben B. Robertson, Sr. Canton Div ision Dear Reuben: As you have been largely responsible and active in Champion maintaining and promoting contacts with our 'former employees who are in the service of our country, I thought you would be interested in getting the reaction of Captain G. L. Gilleland, who is a friend of mine, and located somewhere in the southwest Pacific. Captain Gilleland was a 1a wyer in J a~ksonville t Florida. In fact, he was born there and is a very able young man about 32 and I value his statements most highly. I quote from a letter received from him under date of October 30th : "In my Company I have a very fine Staff Sergeant by the name of William Stockton who was an employee of your organization in the Canton, N. C., plant. H e wa proud in tellino- me of the company and showing me pi ture of the plant It seems you are doing an excel:lent job in keeping in touch with your former employees.
