Thursday, August 2nd, 1945. JOSEPH DANDREA IS OUT OF ARMY BUT IS STILL IN THE WAR Joseph P. Dandrea, 321 Pamer Avenue, Patton, Pa, is now en- route to an overseas assignment with UNRRA to work as Assistant Welfare Officer in the drea joined UNRRA in June, and has been receiving special train- ing at the UNRRA Training Cen- ter, University of Maryland, at College Park, Md. Approximately 6,000 UNRRA workers are now in the British, French and American occupation zones of Germany where the inter- national relief and rehabilitation agency has been requested to fur- nish 450 teams of doctors, public health nurses, camp directors, wel- fare workers and other specialists to help in the repatriation of about 5 million United Nations Nation- als and Italians. Three thousand more UNRRA team members are in training or enroute. Forty per cent have been recruited in the western hemisphere, the remaining sixty per cent are Europeans. The teamns work at Displaced Persons Assembly Centers where the millions of people who have been uprooted from their homes by Nazi aggression are given every posible aid in retruning to their cwn countries as quickly as possi- ble. The displaced persons going through the centers are first de- lcused with DDT powder, the mi- raculous insecticide which kills the typhus carrying lice, Then they are given clothing food, a medical ex- amination and ,when needed, hos- pitalization for special medical treatment or surgery. Those not in need of special care are grouped in the camp, given their first meal, then issued clothes, soap, blankets and feeding utensils. After being checked by an allied liason officer as to nationality, they are given trasportation as quickly as possi- ble back to their homes. Within the camp itself, the UNRRA welfare officer faces a bewildering task. After provision of food, clothes and medical at- tention, the next problem is how to restore to these people their sense of decency, personal dignity and worth. “Welfare” has to cover for more than merely providing oc- cupation for minds and hands while these people wait to go home. It must provide for religious services outdoor concerts, recreation, spe- cial child care and even the solu- tions of difficult legal problems such as the right of displaced per- sons to marry, to divorce, to adopt children. In addition to the management of displaced persons services in Germany, into the devastated ar- eas of Greeck Yugoslavia, Czecho- slovakia, Poland and Italy UNRRA ur until June 30 had shipped over a quarter of a billion dollars worth of sorely needed supplies—food, clething, medical supplies, farm and industrial equipment. Among the contributing nations are num- bered Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Cu- ba, Canada, Australia, New Zeal- and, the United States and the [United Kingdom. UNRRA’s pro- gram for the remaining moths of the year calls for more than three Dispaced | Persons Division in Germany. Dan- times the amounts alread sent, pro- vided the supplies and shipping are made available by the undivid- ed United Nations. Before coming to UNRRA, Dan- drea served three years in the U, 8. ‘Army. He received his B. S. and | M. S. degrees from Temple Uni- | versity. MANY TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS. WAITING Nearly 300 persons afflicted with tuberculosis, some of them men rejected for military service, must wait indefinitely for admittance to one of the three commonwealth sanatoriums because of a critical personnel shortage, the State De- [partment of Health discloses. | The institutions—at Hamburg, Mt. Alto and Cresson—are able to accommodate 3,300 patients, but cnly 2,408 now are receiving treat- ment, with a waiting list of 300, said Dr. J. Moore Campbell, de- puty department head. Many dociors, nurses and atten- dants have entered the armed for- ces, or left for other positions, 1t was pointed out by Dr. Campbell, making it impossible to treat the capacity number of patients. In addition there is a desperate short- age of kitchen help. “I don’t see how we will be able to relieve the situation until the war is over unless medical men are discharged from the service,” Dr. Campbell said. “More than enough idie beds are available to take care of the waiting list, which could be wiped out over night if the per- sonnel were available.” Admissions are made according to seriousness of the individual's cendition and the length of time on the waiting lst, Campbell said. Despite this handicap and the continual shifting of population promoted by war conditions, Cam- phell revetled the number of per- sons afflicted with the disease, and the mortality rate decreased, and that conditions in general through- out the commonwealth were ‘very good.” The department is concerned particularly about several thous- and men rejected by the army for lung conditions, Campbell reveal- ed, but he added that in “50 per cent of the cases turned down for this ailment, we could not find sufficient cause to warrant clinic treatment.” “Army standards are high,” he continued, “hence many men in apparant good health are rejected because of the risk element rather than infection.” —_— Ye EXTENSION COMMITTEES ADVISE WAR VETERANS As a part of the agricultural ex- tension program in 66 Pennsylva- nia counties, committees have been set up to advise World War II vet- erans on farm problems, H. G. Niesley, assistant director of ag- ricultural extension at the Penn- sylvania State College announces. One of the valuable services of the committee is to consel with ve- terans on the purchase of farms. In such cases the veteran is refer- red to the advisory committee member in the community where the returned serviceman plans to locate. Cabbage Good in Rolls Or With a Cheese Sauce By BETSY NEWMAN IF you have a little meat left on Monday, you can make a cabbage roll and finish it up in that tasty . way, or you can cook cabbage and serve it with a cheese sauce. Don’t remind me that cheese takes red points too, and you can’t buy it because all your points are taken for the little meat, butter, mar- garine, lard or cooking oil you get. I know!

W. Hedlund, head of agricultural economics at the Penn | State College, declares. While ab- rupt changes are not in prospect, lower prices of farm products have been the rule following every ma- jor war in which the United States has participated. A period of general business ac- tivity probably will follow this war as after World War I, during which agricultural products should be in good demand, Dr. Hedlund believes. Ceiling prices are under | Federal control, and prices of the | | farm produce are not likely to go higher. At the same time, price supports may prevent severe de- clines for the present, and Cong- ress has provided for their con- | tinuance for two years following | the war. : | | Nevertheless, Dr. Hedlund ex- | plains, considerable declines are | under the present | | possible even | law, and farmers should not for- | get that more agricultural pro- | ducts probably will be produced in | America after the war than during | the period immediately preceding | it. What effect high production | will have on prices when wartime | demand ceases is a question no one | can answer right now, the Penn | State economist says. Congress | may find price supports too expen- sive to continue even for two years and may change the law. A fairly complete discussion of current agricultural price relation- ships is to be found in the latest issue of Pennsylvania Farm Econ- cmics.
