PAGE EIGHT THE POST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1944 From Pillar To Post (Continued from Page One) ration-board and drove out into the country to take a look.. Usually, under the Same circumstances, we are able to adopt an air of detach- ment. One look at the place in ques- tion serves to cool our enthusiasm and to remind us that spring fever, "though of annual recurrence, is sel- dom fatal. We can cold-bloodedly pick out the more obvious defects, estimate in terms of miles the dis- tance from the main paved high- way, reflect upon the absence of electricity, and remind ourselves that the weather on top of a hill is twenty degrees colder than down in the river valley. The road was slippery toward the top of the hill. Keeping the car from sliding into the ditch on its bald-headed tires took most of our attention. We subconsciously noted: a smothered yelp from our daugh- ter, but paid no attention to it un- til we were safely over the crest and coasting down the other side. No back-seat driver, she waited un- til we had negotiated the descent and were about to make the turn onto the highway. Then she said: “Do you suppose the house at the top of the hill was the one that was advertised ?”’ I said, “What house?” And she said, “the house with the big pine tree in front. Let’s go back up the hill and find out.” I remarked that after getting down off the hill right side up, it would take something on the order | of Superman to force me back up it. But we inquired at a neighborhood house, and it appeared that the place at the top of the hill was the one we were looking for. So we went back up the hill, | crunching through the melting] slush on the western exposure and ! coming out on the glare of ice at | the summit. | We drove slowly past the farm, | taking in as many details as pos- | sible without running the risk of | stopping the car. There was the big | pine tree, and the three-car garage, and the tight little barn and the | DANGER! 200 Miles of Malaria Ahead ANADIAN soldiers in North Af- rica, Sicily and Italy had -con- sumed more than 2,000,000 little yellow Mepacrine tablets when the malaria season in the Mediter- ranean theatre officially ended on November 1st. Results of the administration of ‘Mepacrine in the Mediterranean now being studied by senior Cana- dian medical officers are entirely satisfactory. Canadians had a lower malaria rate than other troops in the same area, and special mention of this has been made by Generals Eisenhower and Montgomery. Medi- cal officers attribute the success to the Mepacrine-mindedness instilled in the Canadians. Statistics now released indicate that the malaria rate among Cana- dians was less than 10%, despite the fact that the greater majority of troops passed through hyperen- demic zones of malaria. o The death rate was less than .25 per 1,000 men. And in the case of one Canadian Field Ambulance, which dealt with about 1,300 cases of malaria, only one death oc- curred. The approach to independent- minded Canadians in securing their co-operation in taking Mepacrine regularly on four days a week was psychological, and confidence was established. } A Canadian Field Hygiene Sec- tion. was responsible in great mea- sure for popularizing Mepacrine among the troops and raising it above the level of “just another medicine.” re Signs like these on the roads in Sicily and Italy kept Canadian soldiers Mepacrine-minded. Even the. Gen- erals wore long trousers and rolled their shirt sleeves down—so what was a poor privete to do? Below: As far as Corps was concerned, the Royal Canadian. Army Service the anti-malaria, synthetic quinine pill, Mepacrine, was just another item on the food list. Here a supply truck is delivering corned beef, canned peaches, bread and Mepacrine. Pte. J.'S. Goodale, of Calgary, Alta., coined original phrases and prepared posters of even billboard size which were plastered along roads and highways all through Sicily and in Italy. @. Catchy phrases like “The General wears slacks and long sleeves at sunset, why don’t you?’ “Danger! 200 miles of malaria ahead.” “Wav- ell says the flit-gun is as essential as the Bren gun” helped to keep Canadians on a steady diet of Mepa- crine and free of malaria. Toxic effects were almost nil. The ones encountered were usually transiént and -subsided after two { or three tablets or a slight modi- fication of the dose, i.e., one-half a tablet morning and night instead- of a whole tablet at one time. By comparison with quinine, it was found that Mepacrine does not pre-dispose to Blackwater fever; it is relatively tasteless; it is effec- tive in tablet form: does not have the toxic effects of tininitus and cular signs consequent on quinine administration; it may be used in cases. showing quinine .idiosyn- crasy; it can be synthesised and is in good supply and, in view of the world-wide shortage of quinine, this is a most important consideration. chicken coop and the long meadow | careened along the new highway to with the millions of apple trees. | the office of the Dallas Post, to All the buildings were painted a soft | make contact with the owner and silver gray, and everything was as; do a little fancy dickering. neat as a new pin.
