Here, There and Everywhere
By SIG DIGREE
Apparently some people will
abuse every known privelege of
fered in this world.
We weren’t aware until this
week that people with sick stom
aches call for the ambulance to
go to the hospital.
An ambulance to us has always
been synonymous with “emergen
cy.”
But Chief of Police Vickery tells
me this happens frequently.
But this is a case where a pain
in-the-stomach of the wouldbe am
bulance rider, gives a pain-in-the
head to the police officer. More
than likely the individual needs
a nursemaid, not a hospital.
* * *
Some timely suggestions were
offered by the American Medical
Association for the care of a child
who is unfortunate enough to be
endangered from suffocation by
plastic bags.
Three steps suggested be taken
are: 1. If the child’s breathing has
stopped, the immediate need is to
restore breathing. If possible, call
a neighbor or send for help. Ask
that a fire inhalator squad be sum
moned and that the nearest hos
pital he alerted.
2. Try to resuscitate the child,
using the mouth-to-mouth techni
que recommended as the most ef
fective method by the American
Red Cross: Place the child on his
back and extend the neck back.
Put a towel or pillow under the
shoulders so the head drops back.
Lift and hold the lower jaw up to
assure an open airway. Place the
other hand over the child’s mouth
and nose and blow in. After each
breath, turn your head to the side,
take another breath, and blow in
again. Repeat 12 to 20 times.
3. If the child is suffering labor
ed breathing, is stunned, or has
difficulty in movement, rush him
to the nearest hospital.

SAME TROUBLE AS HERE. An
ordinance aimed at persons who
abandon wrecked or junked auto
mobile bodies on vacant lots or
even in yards belonging to other
persons was passed recently in An
choage.
Under the ordinance offenders
could be fined as much as $300 or
jailed for 30 days or both.
A look at some of our vacant
lots would indicate a similar ordi
nance would be a good thing here.

A QUIET INCIDENT that may
boil up yet occurred last week at
Little Rock, Arkansas, when 54
Negroes registered for the fall
term at Little Rock’s white high
school.
The big question mark hovers on
Gov. Orval Faubus, who closed the
schools last year. What will he do
in September, when the schools
reopen. Are they ready for inte
gration there yet?
Being a Northerner, this writer
can’t answer that one.

A STRANGE CONVERSATION
occured in public on the occasion
of Vice-president Nixon’s visit to
Russia. The participants were Nix
on and Khrushchev. The conversa
tion sounded more like two juve
niles arguing, each bragging that
his father could lick the others
father. K. said: In another seven
years, we shall be on the same level
as America ... When we catch you
up, in passing you by, we will
wave to you.
Nixon did come up with some
good ideas in these informal talks.
Samples: “Would it not be better
to compete in the merits of wash
ing machines than in the strength
of rockets . . . ? Another: . . . We
are both strong .. . Neither should
use that strength to put the other
in a position where he in effect
has an ultimatum ... With modern
weapons it does not make any
difference (who is stronger) if
war comes. We both have had it.
Nixon advocated the thought
that the cause of peace is not help
ed by reminders of greater
strength, because he said, that is
a threat too.
* • *
Sometimes our government acts
with the same juvenile logic. Just
as Nixon was to make the trip to
Moscow, the President declared a
Captive Nations Week, as if in the
first place we haven’t enough of
these weeks already to celebrate.
Khrushchev complained about this
and rightly so, and said: You have
churned the waters yourself. Why
this was necessary God only knows.
What happened? What black cat
crossed your path and confused
you?
Nixon is said to have looked per
plexed and made no comment.
How couid he?

TEXANS AS WELL AS OTH
ERS have been saluting Alaska all
over the ace since we “joined”
the Union The Chamber of Com
mece he. ’ saw other evidence of
this in a picture of a winning float
sent them from the El Paso C. of
C.
The float has a series of simu
lated mountain peaks, with a large
star nestling as a background for
the inevitable—yes, you guessed
it—a lovely girl in a parka. The
float was pulled by equipment dec
orated in the shape of the state
of Texas.

The method used by a command
er of the Air Force Base near Sac
i
ramento, Clif., to improve military
courtesy among the men, would
seem about as ridiculous a way as
can be thought up.
A bulletin announced that a staff
car would patrol the base, displays
ing the commanders emblem, fol
lowed by an Air Police patrol,
who wovjld cite any military per
sonnel failing to salute the com
mander’s car. Ridiculous—but as
one man said “frighteningly” so.
