November, 1945 The Health Bulletin 11 Further statistical analyses were made in order to determine how Selective Service rejections fitted into the pre-existing pattern of life within the different counties, since rejection for military service was a product of circumstances that existed in the county and the state prior to the establishment of the Selective Service System. We found that rejection rates were lower in urban or semi-urban counties where fewer men were employed in agriculture. Fewer men were rejected in counties in which subsistence farming rather than commercial agriculture prevailed. On the other hand, fewer men were rejected where general levels of living and educational levels were higher. The relationship between place of residence and occupation is obvious. When people live in the country they are more likely to work on farms. We are only too aware diat educational and health services for rural people lag far behind the urban level. It is interesting to note that last year 73 out of the 100 counties spent less than 75 cents per capita for full time public health service and that 12 counties had no full time public health unit. Seeing the association between education and rejection, we are impressed with the need for furthering adult education programs as well as increasing and improving educational facilities for children. Also, the cotton-tobacco duet sings a sad song for the state; there are many undesirable social and health characteristics that accompany cash cropping, profitable as tobacco is at present. All this clarifies the need for further study and planning so that North Carolina will have a sound reliable population resource. —Kie Sebastian. A report on the study of the case of rejections and incidences of defects among 18 and 19 year old Selective, Service registrants by the Children's Bureau, United States Department of Labor, shows that approximately 25% of the young men in this age group were physically defective. The leading causes of rejections other than educational deficiency were: Rejected Cases Found per 1000 per 1000 Eye Conditions 44.9 101.5 Mental Diseases 27.6 33.2 Musculoskeletal Conditions 22.7 59.0 Cardiovascular Conditions 21.4 31.7 Hernia 16.3 25.2 Ear Conditions 15.0 25.2 Neurologic Conditions 14.8 17.5 Syphilis 10.2 12.2 Underweight 7.1 25.9 Tuberculosis 6.8 8.0 * * * FIRST AID T HE American Red Cross has just published a revised edition of their first aid textbook. The new edition is prepared on a wholly different basis from previous editions. In the preface of this statement: "This rewritten text was referred to the surgical experts and to the staffs of the Office of the Medical Director and of the First Aid, Water Safety and Accident Prevention Service of the American Red Cross for further review." The following are chapter subjects: 1. The Why and How of First Aid 2. Shock 3. Dressings and Bandages 4. Wounds and Their Care 5. Artificial Respiration and the Treatment of Common Asphyxial Accidents 6. Poisons 7. Injuries to Bones, Joints, and Muscles 8. Injuries Due to Heat or Cold 9. Transportation 10. First Aid for Common Medical Emergencies 11. The Human Body; How It Is Put Together and How It Works 12. First Aid Kits There are 264 illustrations. The index appears to be adequate. This Textbook should be most helpful in the training of large numbers of persons in the fundamental principles of First Aid.
