Pesky Parasite
The pinworm is a pesky parasite.
No bigger than a pencil point, the
pinworm is mankind’s greatest rob-
ber of sleep. It is believed that some
200 million people throughout the
world suffer the effects of pinworms
Although it carries the scientific
name of Enterobius vermicularis, it
is more commonly known as pin-
worm, seat worm
or threadworm.
For millions of
people, the pin-
worm means
sleepless nights, a
disturbing itch,
nervousness and a
loss of appetite.
Pinworms infest
of the people in the
some 40 per
United States and Canada,-accord-
in to medical experts. The hardy
parasite appears to prefer children
for its victims, although adults are
not immune.
Once attached to a child, the pin-
worm stubbornly resists all efforts
to eliminate it. Children often trans-
mit the pinworm to those coming in
contact with them and tend to re-
infect themselves by scratching the
irritated area.
Proper medical and sanitary
measures can control this parasite.
Terramycin, a widely-effective anti-
biotic, is one of the drugs used suc-
cessfully to eliminate the parasite.
Parents must follow up medical
treatment with a personal cleanli-
ness code. They must see to it that
children wash their hands often and
must insist that hands are washed
before every meal.
Fingernails of children with pin-
worm must be cut short. These chil-
dren should sleep alone, if possible,
and great c are should be taken when
handling their bedclothes. The chil-
dren should net be allowed to touch
food eaten by other members of the
family.
These medical and sanitary meas-
ures, authorities believe, can elimi-
nate the pinworm menace.

A total of nearly 23,000 Tex-
ans. entered the Armed Forces by i Steve of Angleton spent last week1
enlistment and draft' during the with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
first half of 1955, with more than.
34,000 residents of the Lone Star
State being separated during the
same period.
This was reflected Thursday
in a statement issued by state (
Selective Service headquarters,
based on monthly reports to na-
tional Selective Service head-
quarters.
Of the nearly 23,000 Texans
entering the uniformed services,
the big majority went in by en-
listment. Nearly 19,000 were re-
ported by the armed services as
enlisting, Lieutenant' Colonel
Morris S. Schwartz, deputy state
draft director said.
The state’s draft boards order-
ed nearly 4,000 men into the
Army during the first six months
of the year, Colonel Schwartz
said, and he added that' many of
these volunteered for induction,
as authorized by Selective Serv-
ice regulations.
Men going into service through
the draft boards go into the
Army. The figures for enlist-
ment and separation include
those of all the armed forces de-
partment's, such as Air Force and
Marines.
During the first six months of
1955, Texas draft boards sent
2,958 men for physical-mental ex-
aminations prior to final consid-
eration for military service. Of
this number, 1,188 were turned
down by Army examining au-
thorities. Final acceptability of
a draft registrant is decided by
the Army.
4-EFers Eliminate “Accident Havens”
How many hazards can you find?*
SAFETY, a crop to be harvested
on every farm and in every home, is
receiving special attention from more
than one-half million 4-H Club mem-
bers taking part in the 1955 National
4-H Safety Program.
As a part of their 4-H Club work,
members in all 48 states are correcting
hazards such as those seen in the
above drawing. They are attempting
to reduce the Nation’s annual farm
toll of 14,500 lives, 1,250,000 injuries,
and an economic loss of about a
billion dollars.
4-H’ers, working as individuals or
in groups through their local clubs,
conduct surveys to locate hazards,
then correct the unsafe conditions.
They give demonstrations on hun-
dreds of topics pertaining to farm,
home and highway safety. Members
present talks before group meetings
and over radio and television; put
displays in store windows; and build
booths at fairs.
. To assist the Cooperative Exten-
sion Service in conducting the 4-H
Safety Program, General Motors has
just published a new “4-H Safety
Handbook for Local Leaders,” which
provides how-to-do-it ideas for carry-
ing out successful safety programs.
Copies of the manual will be distrib-
uted to volunteer 4-H leaders through
County Extension Offices.
In addition,-' GM provides incen-
tives in the National 4-H Safety
Awards program which is arranged
by the National Committee on Boys
and Girls Club Work. Medals are
made available to four county win-
ners; an all-expense trip to the
National 4-H Club Congress in Chi-
cago is given to the state winner; and
$300 college scholarships are presented
to eight national winners.
*In the drawing, there are more
than 45 accident hazards or unsafe
practices shown. Don’t let them occur
on your farm or in your home.
