Lloyd Grenlie, supervising electronics specialist of the Civil Aeronautics Administration office at Green Bay, said the tentative date for putting the facility into operation is Nov. 1. He stated that most of the equipment for the station is on hand, either at Oshkosh or Green Bay, and that the installation date will be set by the regional office of the CAA at Kansas City. Grenlie anticipated that it w-ould take about two weeks to install the equipment and said it is "an involved procedure to tune it up to meet international standards." The facility at the county airport will be controlled from Green Bay.

Councilmen held their longest informal or 'workshop" session to date, beginning with a joint meeting with the board of education at 7 o'clock and winding up at 11:30 on Thorgrimsen's report of future reorganization plans. In between they settled on permanent rules for their meetings, heard reports from the city attorney and city engineer while preparing the agenda for Monday's regular meeting, and listened to ether reports by the manager. No one plan can be applied to every city, said Thorgrimsen in explaining reorganization ideas. Organization must be fitted to the needs of the municipality. One of the first steps to take is to have a central personnel file on each employe.

Dolls and What fart of every prescription weighs nothing at all? Your pharmacist's scale is so sensitive it will respond to the weight of a hair! But into every prescription he compounds, your pharmacist puts on ingredient that never moves the scale's needle. It is the most important thing you buy whenever you have I prescription filled! It is the professional knowledge and 'skill of your pharmacist.

Without it, no prescription could be properly filled. The physician orders the required drugs in the specific amounts needed, but the compounding of the finished prescription is the sole responsibility of your pharmacist. Before lie could fulfill this responsibility, he devoted years to the study of the highly specialized subjects of his profession. To earn his college degree, for example, he had to acquire a fundamental knowledge of many sciences such as chemistry, physics, biology. He mastered, too, the details of compounding and dispensing drugs, chemicals, and other medicinal agents.

And after his formal education, your pharmacist's course of stody does not end. For there are constant changes and progress in medicine and pharmacy with which he must keep abreast. Get better acquainted with your pharmacist. He's a good neighbor, and a good citizen who works for better community health.
