There may come a time when its use will be as common as Aspirin. It does not cure everj thing as some have thought, and as others have reported, but its range is wide and it takes in many diseases that the Sulfa Drugs have not been able to cure. One of the greatest virtues of Penicillin is that it causes almost no reactions and is nontoxic even in huge doses. It has been in the experimental stage for quite some time, and still is, but it has been tried with success for several years on streptococcus infections, boils, abscesses, kidney and bladder infections, Osteomyelitis, acute gonorrhea, early syphilis, certain kinds of pneumonias, septicemia, meningitis, ruptured appendix, endocarditis, mastoid, Otitis media and sinusitis. There are still other diseases unnamed here which it has been known to help.

Much hope has been expressed that it will be effective against the common cold. If it proves to be, then it will truly be a miracle drug. Without colds for excuses, there will be few legitimate reasons any longer for staying at home from work! Nothing in the medical line has ever stirred the interest and imagination of the public as the release of Penicillin for the use of the home doctors, since the days when a safe anaesthetic for surgery was discovered. It has been held, up until the present, for the use of the Army and Navy for w'ar-wounded, until such time as the production could outstrip the w'ar needs and make this wonder drug available for the ordinary doctor. On March 15 it was released to all the druggists all over the United States.

They, in turn, wrote to all their medical customers or phoned them, that their shelves would be well stocked with Penicillin by the middle of March. They gave the invitation come and get it. But still better news is on the way. Penicillin has had to be given entirely, heretofore, by hypodermic shots every three hours to make it effective in the fight against diseaes, because it drains out of the sj'stem very rapidly. Hypos usually have to be given by a doctor or a nurse, which runs the cost of treatments high.

More than 30 executive staff positions in Boy Scout work are now' open in Region 12 (California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah), according to William B. Hawkins, Valley Scout executive, who met with regional officers and a representative of the national Boy Scout personnel service in Los Angeles last Friday.

This need for career Scouters is created partly by the service draft, but more particularly because of the extension of the scouting program to serve the population increase in the area. The proven effectiveness of scouting in combating delinquency and aiding pre-induction training has caused manpower authorities to authorize increases in employed staff personnel in the areas of greatest need in coast states, Hawkins said. Men with college, scouting and 1 practical business training, desiring to enter scoutings professional service can contact Hawkins at Boy Scouts of America, Valley headquarters, 6410 Van Nuys telephone STate 5-1194.

But more important than postwar travel is the wartime necessity of getting men and materials to their destinations rapidly.

type blood for w'ounded fighters is needed on the battle-fronts of Iwo Jima and Alindanao Within 48 hours after its receipt at the home front donor station, type blood arrives at the overseas stations by Navy transport planes. A wartime necessity is the evacuation of wounded men by plane. Key military personnel must travel from one critical location to another by plane. To lay plans for the coordination of an attack an admiral must travel by plane to confer with a general. Only' a few years ago fast planes made 200 miles an hour.

Now' their speed approaches that of sound. To fly at these terrific rates planes must he in perfect condition. The mechanical doctors for our flying men-of-war are as critically! needed as are medical doctors for our fighting men-at-arms. Aircraft mechanics are the mechanical doctors. Though actually at work in the Los Angeles area the navy classes the job, of repairing the structural injuries and strains of hard-working navy transport planes, as advance base work.

Without the help of aircraft mech- anics the navy cant fight at top efficiency', its experts state. 1 An $82, million long range electric power development and water conservation program.

Paul Lauritz, noted artist and resident of Los Angeles, demonstrated his technique in painting before members and friends of the San Fernando Valley Art club at a special meeting on March 21. Although Air. Lauritz is the winner of many medals and has had many' honors conferred upon him, he still is extremely modest about his works and feels there is always something more to be learned. Before beginning painting on his canvas Air. Lauritz gave a short talk on composition and methods of painting.

In demonstrating his 25 by 30 canvas he used very large brushes with strong bold strokes, quickly laying the pigment over a lightly sketched outline and in just 60 minutes had a remarkably interesting sketch of the high Sierras showing the sun coming through the breaking storm clouds shining onto snow-capped peaks, and lake in the foreground. Only' three colors were used, yet there was a perfect balance in warm and cold tones with all the subtle variations in shadow and light. All present agreed it was one of the finest lessons they had ever had. The lecture room of the library was filled to capacity in spite of the inclement weather.
