iiniu nnru rn tih-ii New Type Incubator For Infants Installed
NUW UrtN U THEM M Newton Memorial Hospital; Is Big Step
Forward In Service of Institution Here
By LLOYD ALBERTSON
Young men of 17 are now eligible
to enlist in the National Guard with
their jin rents’ consent.
This was unounced today by Cup-
tain Rudolph Michalka, Command’!",7
Officer of Batter C. 239th F A Bn.,
and he pointed out it brought the
National Guard into line with the
ether branches of the armed sendees.
Both the Army and Nnvy have been
enlisting 17 year olds for some time;
but until President Truman signed
a new bill into law recently, the age
limit for the Guard remained ut 18
years. Anyone interested in enlisting
in the local field artillery battery
cun get in touch with Capt. Michalka
at the Cameron Machine Shop.
Basic training for the battery is
well under way, Capt. Michalka ad-
ded, since it was Federally inspected
six weeks Hgo. During last Tuesday
evening’s training period Sgt. Guest,
the regular army instructor, showed
two films on howitzer operation and
maintenance. A requisition for sum-
mer uniforms for the men has been
made, and their arrival is expected
at an early date. Also equipment
and vehicles should bo received
soon; plans have been made for a
motor pool near the battery’s armory
in the old grammar school building.
In line with ita policy of providing j times from any direction and can
the best equipment and to take care be carefully watched without having
of any emergency that may arise,
Virginia Cazares of Milano is a
surgery patient in the Newton Mem-
orial Hospital and is doing well.
Newton Meniorial Hospital has just
purchased a brand new latest typo
incubator.
It is equipped so that not merely
the heat is regulated but also the
humidity and oxygen can be given
continuously which is especially im-
portant in cases of very premature
babies.
It is gluss enclosed on three sides
so that the baby can be seen at all
to disturb the ideal atmosphere. The
glass is of safety type so that there
is no danger of shattering for any
reason and hurting the occupant.
The incubator is large enough to
take up to a twelve pound child so
that it can be used as an oxygen
tent for newborn babies when neces-
ssry. It is also portable to enable
it and the baby to be moved safely
from place to place.
HEAT SCOURGE BREAKS
El
The heat scourge that brought 10H
degree temperatures Saturday and
Sunday was broken here late Monday
when .70 inches of rain fell in the
city.
The downpour was accompanied by
high winds and lightning hut no
damage was reported.
L. \V. Smith nt the Community
Public Service Company, local obser-
ver for the United States Weather
Bureau, scored the rainfall at seven
tenths of an inch. It was the first
rain of any consequence since early
in July.
The county’s cotton crop was show-
ing signs of failure and unless more

IS SOUGHT FOR CITY
Some three and one half years ago,
Cameron started its first program to
yoison rats and a dusting campaign
to rid rats of typhus fleas. This pro-
gram originated as a project of the
City of Cameron and the State Health
Department project; later, Milam

County was put on the approved list
of counties in Texas to receive ty-
phus control aid from the State of
Texas. The State has carried on re-
gular poisoning and one dusting pro-
gram ever since.
In 1945 there were 23 cases of ty-
phus fever reported in Mijam County
and this has been reduced to 3 cases
this year. The rat population has
been reduced 90 per cent.
The central idea behind the dusting
and paisoning program was to re-
duce the rat population and work up
to a rat stoppage. This can be done
by a rut-proofing program now be-
ing conducted by the State Health
Department with co-operation coming
from the City and property owners.
There is a definite possibility the
State Health Department may dis-
continue its dusting and poisoning
programs unless the various cities
offer their co-operation by having
their buildings rat proofed. Without
such a program, Cameron may be
heavily infested with rats in the
future the same as any town or city
without proper methods of control.
