( How a sailor survived and turned to duty after the burning of S3 per cent of the surface o! his body--one of the largest nonfatal burns on record--lias been reported by .the Navy. Citing the case as an example of the extensive burnings the human body now can sustain because of such war-developed irea-t tnents as plasma for shock and penicillin "for combatting Infection, Lt. Cmclr. John R. Johnson of the Navy medical corps gave .details In the naval medical bulletin. The 19-year-old, unnamed sailor was 'burned 'almost entirely from head to foot in a gasoline explosion somowhere in the tropics. * Few Parts Escaped The only parts of his body that escaped were that part of Lho head covered by thick hair; the feet and ankles which were covered with field shoes; the lower abdomen and upper thighs which were clothed in abbreviated shorts. Even the delicate membranes beneath the eyelids were burned, and so were the membranes of nose and throat. The patient was under treatment for 02 days and during that time he developed such complications as shock, anemia, clotting in various blood vessels, and blood poisoning. His legs and arms were bandaged, but because bandaging of the body is poorly tolerated in the heat of the tropics, his trunk was sprayed with a vaseline-paraf- fin mixture, and his face was coated thickly with sulfathiazolc ointment. He was given morphine, plasma, transfusions o f , whole blood, received penicillin 'every three hours for 17 days--a total of 1,700,000 units, About a m o n t h after he was injured, skin grafts were placed on two of the worst-burned areas. The skin for the grafts was taken from previously burned areas which had healed. After two months in a hospital he was sent Lo a rear area for a ' Truman Put High In Poll By Gallup Survey Shows That 87 Per Cent Of People Give Approval TJy GKOTtGE GALLUP Director, American Institute Of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N.

For years Alvin has been trying to got rid of a grove of Jo- casts. They aren't using up any good land, but they annoy Alvin. Every time he cuts them down", up they shoot again. "What'U I do about them locusts?" Alvin asks Lud. "Well, if you can't get rid of 'em," says Lud, "I'd say you better get to like 'em." From where I sit, that's sound philosophy-applied to people Just as much as locust trees. You can't always change folks to your way of thinking-some may prefer beer to buttermilk, or a double harness' to a single one-but you can get to like them (,'f you take the trouble).
