Public Health Is America’s
First Line of Defense
A child born in 1950 enjoys an
average life expectancy of 68
years—as compared with only 47
years in 1900. From 17.2 deaths
per thousand population in 1900,
the U. S. death rate dropped to
9.6 per thousand in 1950, and the
rate continues to decrease, The
Sanitary Engineering Commit
tee reports.
This remarkable record, says
the Department of Health, “can
be traced in large part to steady
reductions in the death rate for
infections and communicable dis
eases.”
Many factors have contributed
to our improved public health,
but none has been more signifi
cant than our municipal sanita
tion programs. Thousands of
miles of underground clay pipe
mains carry wastes to disposal
plants. Vitrified clay pipe is
recognized as the one material
that provides all the qualities
necessary to satisfy the exacting
demands of sanitary structures.
Clay pipe resists all the effects
of acia; and other caustic sub
stances that are found in sewer
systems.
Modern sanitary systems con
structed of clay pipe play an
everyday role as guardian of the
health of the people. They are
one of the city’s lifelines, carry
ing away deadly wastes.
“Black Eagle” Will
Renounce Citizenship
NEW YORK, —Federal of
ficials Thursday picked up the
U.S. passport of Col. Hubert F.
Julian, Negro flier known as the
“Black Eagle” of Harlem, and
Julian announced he would seek
denaturalization.
The action apparently resulted
from the shipment of arms from
Communist - dominated Poland to
Guatemala. Julian said last month
that he was Guatemala’s military
purchasing agent.
Immigration authorities, at the
direction of the State Department
picked up Julian’s passport when
he arrived at Idlewild airport on
an Air France plane from Paris.
After the incident, Julian said
he would apply to the courts for
cancellation of his citizenship.
He is native of Trinidad, British
West Indies, and a naturalized
American.
The British bushel is slightly
larger than the American bushel.

Italy and France Must
Support EDC In Order
To Get U.S. Military Aid
WASHINGTON, UP>—1The House
Foreign Affairs Committee Thurs
day adopted a proposal which
would deny arms aid to France
and Italy unless they join in an
international army.
At the same time the commit
tee - approved plan apparently
would spur the creation of a new
type of European defense organ
ization taking - in those countries
which have approved the Europ
ean Defense Command pact.
Those nations could continue to
get American weapons but chair
man Chipperfield CR-I11) said they
could do so only if they “join in
a new organization for collective
defense or are jointly developing
mutual defense programs in a
manner satisfactory to the Presi
dent.
The nations which have ratified
EDC are West Germany, The
Netherlands, Belgium and Lux
embourg.

A message from your Caterpillar Dealer on the
occasion of the tracjt-type tractor’s 50th year.
IF YOU OWN A MACHINE LIKE THIS ONE,
You Can Still Get Parts and Service For It!
Farfetched? Not on your life! We frequently supply parts
and service for machines built 20, 30 years ago—even older.
So this 1908 old timer—or one like it—may still be around
somewhere ... a working tribute to the 50-year Caterpillar
"No Orphans” parts policy; Now, here’s what this means to
you: It means any Cat® product you buy today will never be
orphaned for want of a part. It means buyers will pay more
for your machine at trade-in time .. . because they know
there will always be service behind Caterpillar machines.
That’s why, year-in, year-out, Caterpillar products are worth
more on the job ... worth more on the trade-in block. Let’s
figure the size of Cat Diesel Tractor you need . .. from 35 to
150 drawbar HP. Let us show you the reasons behind 50
years of top customer preference. Let us prove why they work
so long—and so well!
