Which is the UAW-CIO reaiiy after?ls seeking facts—or new
economic power? Does it want to know things—or things?
These questions concern you as well as General Motors.

Waxy Palm Tree
Flourishes in Brazil
The camauba is a graceful palm
tree of which Brazil has almost the
i exclusive monopoly. Its Latin ap
-1 pcllation of Copcrnicia cerifera was
given it by its discoverer, Dr. von
: Marcus, in honor of the famous as- (
' tronomer Copernicus and because it
; had the faculty of yielding wax,
! Long before, the natives of the wild
: regions where it grows had attrib-1
j uted medicinal and curative facul-1
ties to the tree.
The genus Copernicia is exclusive
} to the western hemisphere and one
species is restricted to a few areas |
| in a certain section of northeastern
I Brazil of whose landscape it is a
. typical ornament. This region,
| which extends roughly from the
: Amazon to the state of Bahia and
i includes the two principal wax
producing states, Ceara and Paiuhy, l
j'is characterized by a climate which;
I is a combination of drouths and
j floods.
I During the wet season the car
nauba plant absorbs a great quan
tity of water which is required to
! carry on its life functions. In order
, to defend it from excessive evap
; oration during the dry season, na
ture has provided a protective cov
ering of wax. The more prolonged
the dry spell, the heavier this \
coating of wax, collectors having ob
served that during dry years the
yield is often 25 per cent above the
average. Without a well-defined dry ,
period, the carnauba palm would,
be worthless as a producer of wax.
Safety Colors
Bright color and lots of it prom
ises to be the new order of the day
if manufacturers generally adopt the
new scientific use of colors for safe
ty, says C. E. Anderson, nationally \
known authority on the use of color |
in industry. After pointing out that
dark, dingy, tool-gray machines ab
sorb 94 per cent of the light falling
on machines, Mr. Anderson present
ed the following industrial safety
code of six colors; “High visibility
yellow” for use on dead ends, low 1
beams and stairway aproaches; I
“alert orange” for use on boxes and
i cutting'devices; “fire protection red”
for fire-fighting equipment; “safety
green” for first aid equipment;
“protection blue” for machinery not
to be moved, such as ovens and
valves; and “traffic white, gray or
black” for aisle markings.
Keep Eggs Cool
Eggs being held for market
should be in a location where the
temperature is under 65 degrees and
where the humidity is high. A prop
erly ventilated cave, basement, or
farm egg cooler will supply these
conditions while the eggs are being
held on the farm. Temperature and
the amount of humidity in the air j
are the most important factors af-j
fecting the interior quality of eggs.
High temperature and low humid-'
ity are responsible for too much
evaporation, as indicated by the size
of air cells, a watery condition of
the white, a more prominent and
movable yolk, and embryo develop-,
ment.
Dehydrated Foods
The method of drying fresh fruits
and vegetables in a specially de
signed, tight-fitting box, under con
trolled temperature, humidity and
i air flow, is called dehydration. De-
I hydrated vegetables and fruits are of
superior quality to those dried by
other methods. In many instances
dehydrated foods, such as corn, car
rots, green beans, peas, apples,
peaches, etc., approach or equal the
quality of foods preserved by other
1 methods. Fruit should be ripe but
I still firm; vegetables in good con
dition for table use. Dehydration
does not improve quality. Conse
quently, if a good dried product is
desired, the quality must be present
in the fresh fruit or vegetable.
Arab League
In varying degrees, the members
of the Arab league share the com
mon characteristics of the genera]
terrain of their part of the world.
With the exception of the rugged,
yet often-fertile Lebanon, and, to
some extent, highland Yemen, all
hold large desert-steppe areas. The
countries are all chiefly agricultural,
with more or less pastoral actfv
i ity. Products are generally similar,
j including cereals and fruits, cotton,
j tobacco, olive oil, silk and skins—
and such ancient handicraft work as
1 carpets, textiles, jewelry, and pot
tery. Modern petroleum wealth in
Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Egypt is a
significant factor in the economy of
this part of the Near East, as well
! as in international trade complica*
I tions.
1 EXPANDED HEALTH PROGRAM
The expanded program of the
j State Department of Public
Health has been unanimously en- *
dorstd by the executive commit
tee of the Georgia Public Health
Association, it was announced by
E. J. Sunkes, president of the
I association which is composed of
professional health workers of
the state.
The committee also praised the
work of the state department in
the reduction of communicable
diseases and death rates.
The enlarged health program
as outlined by Dr. T. P. Aber
crombie, State Health Depart
ment director, recommends the
following:

sultants to augment local staffs.
2 A district health officer for
approximately every 30,000 peo
ple.
3. A sanitarian for every 20 -
000 people.
4. A public health nurse for
every 5,000 people.
. Tuberculosis hospital beds
sufficient to furnish at least
beds per annual death.
Also recommended is a locally s
financed program to provide
three general hospital beds per
: 1,000 population, with one-fifth
of the beds maintained by coun
ties for indigent cases. This
program plans to achieve:
1. A general hospital of not
less than 100 beds within 35
miles of every citizen.
2. Maternity and emergency
hopital beds in every county.
Out-patient health center
facilities, including dental, in all
commnnities of 500 or more pop
ulation.
Mr. Sunkes also announced
that the annual meeting of the
association will be held in At
