WAR RAISES COST OF
ROAD REPAIR WORK
Engineers of the Department of
Highways estimate that approxima-
tely 23,000,000 gallons of tar and as-
phalt materials will be needed during
the coming season.
{ The cost of acquiring these supplies
will be about $3,000,000, which is an
increase over the prices paid before.
The tar and asphalt products will
be used by the Department forces in
retreatment work and also on the
placing of surfaces on many miles of
highway, mostly rural routes.
| In 1941 the Department used 31,-!
593,000 gallons of bituminous material |
| for the surfacetreatment and surfac-
ling operations.
| There is a limited supply of both
| materials available this year, the eng-
|ineers say. Because of the shortage of
| fuel oil considerable quantities of tar
| previously used in the manufacture of
| road materials is now being utilized
| for boiler fuel at industrial plants.
1
|lantic and Gulf areas also is reducing
|the number of tankers available for
|conveying asphalt products from the
western oil fields and Central and
| South American countries. This kind
{of material, the engineers add, is
| virtually off the market.
Because of the shortage in stra-
tegic materials such as steel the De-
partment in order to continue its road
| building work is using native mater-
|ials wherever possible and improving
the highways with a bituminous sur-
face.

We are the richest—in loot! But in
order to win, we must wake up to a
realization of what defeat would
mean to you and me. We must put
all our forces, mental and physical,
to work. We must mobilize all our
resources and be ready to sacrifice
everything to the all-out struggle to
win this war.
So far the enemies have chosen the
time and place for attack. We waited
for the minority to catch up in their
thinking, oblivious of the fact that
Hitler and his gang were putting on

Wake up! The soft and easy days
of peace are gone. In the words of
Patrick Henery: “If we wish to be
those inestimable privileges for which
we have been so long in contending;
if we mean not basely to abandon the
so long engaged, and which we have
pledged ourselves never to abandon |
until the glorious object of our sons}
test shall be obtained—we must fight!
An appeal to arms, and the God of
Hosts, is all that is left us.”
* YOUR HEALTH *
From the Board of Trustees of
the Medical Society of the State
of Pennsylvania of which the
Cambria County Medical So-
ciety is a component . . .
Hyacinth, the flower, is featured in
March and April.
Hyacinthe, the physician, is fea-
tured all of the time.
His last name, Laennec, conveys
little to the average reader.
Yet this modest and imaginative
physician-in-chief at 1'Hopital Necker
in Paris made one of medicine’s great-
est discoveries.
Modest to the point of embarrass-
ment, this thirty-year-old physician
contributed largely to medical science.
One day a woman consulted him
about her heart.
She was an overly-fat woman.
Tapping the chest was without
avail.
Laennec was in a quandary.
His first intent was to put his ear
directly to her body just over the
heart and listen for what heart sound
it made.
But modesty forbade the young
doctor.
What to do—what to do?
It occurred to Laennec that sound
is transmitted through solid bodies
and hollow tubes.
He rolled a quantity of paper
sheets together into a cylinder and
applied one end to the region of his
patient’s heart and the other to his
ear.
He heard the heart sounds much
more clearly than when applying the
ear directly to the region over the
heart which he had previously done
with his male patients.
Gratified at success with this make-
shift appliance, Laennec told his con-
ferees of his new discovery.
Honors galore were heaped upon
young Laennec.
He continued, with unabated enthu-
siasm, the study of diseases of the
chest.
Applying himself too laboriously,
But he had invented the stetho-
scope—one of medicine's most valu-
able instruments.
