expansion involving the airways
system, the Federal Aviation
Agency expects to hire a mini
mum of 100 Electronic Tech

year. Opportunities for immedi
ate employment, training and ad
vancement are good.

WASHING DACRON
If dacron material gets limp
after washing the stiffness cannot
be restored, according to Miss
Avola Whitesell, clothing special
ist, Agricultural Extension Serv
ice. Limpness may be caused by
poor quality yarn, the type of
finish used, the method of wash
ing, or the bleach used. Always
wash such items according to
label instructions.
FERTILIZER PLACEMENT
When high rates of commercial
fertilizer are used on row crops,
the fertilizer should be placed
two inches to one side and two
inches below the seed on most
crops. This method of placement
will prevent fertilizer injury to
the growing plant. This informa
tion is from P. J. Bergeaux, agron
omist, Agricultural Extension
Service.
LIVING LONGER
The defeat of many diseases has
increased life expectancy 22 years
since the turn of the century. Can

the American Cancer Society,
which in the past 13 years has
spent more than $67,000,000 seek
ing the answers.

Swelling May Mean
Kidney Trouble
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
The kidneys are two bean
shaped organs situated on each
side of the spine and in about the
middle of the back. They are
about four inches long, two
inches wide and an inch thick.
Their function is to aid in the
removal of waste products from
the blood stream.
Kidneys are subject to a num
ber of disorders. Among these is
nephritis, which means inflam
mation of the kidney. The term,
Bright’s disease, is loosely used
to refer to several types of kidney
inflammations which are char
acterized by 'the collection of
fluid in the body and swelling
and the presence of protein, one
of the body’s building blocks, in
the urine.
In general, there are three types
of Bright’s disease; inflammatory,
degenerative and sclerotic. About
ninety per cent of all cases of
Bright’s disease are of the in
flammatory type. This type is
probably caused by poisons form
ed by an infection elsewhere in
the body. It often comes on dur
ing or after an attack of sore
throat or tonsillitis. It may oc
cur as a complication of such
diseases as scarlet fever, pneu
monia or typhoid fever.
The most common symptoms is
swelling of the eyes, hands, or
feet. This type of Bright’s disease
is essentially an inflammation of
certain of the blood vessels in the j
filtering apparatus, or glomeruli,
of the kidney, and for this reason
is called glomerulonephritis. It is
also known as hemorrhagic
Bright’s disease.
Other symptoms are swelling of
varous parts of the body—the
hands, legs, feet or eyes. The
function of the kidneys may be
reduced and vomiting, chills and
fever may occur.
The degenerative type of
Bright’s disease is characterized
by death of some of the kidnej’
cells. This condition can be
brought on by prolonged high
fever. The diagnosis is usually
made by the finding of dead cells
and albumin, one of a class of
proteins, in the urine. This has
to be done, of course, through a
laboratory examination. This dis
ease is also known as nephrosis.
The third type of Bright’s
disease is distinguished by hard
ening of the tiny arteries of the
kidney. This is known as arteri
osclerotic Bright’s disease and
also nephrosclerosis. It’s mainly
a disease of the blood vessels and
high blood pressure is usually
present. As the walls of the
vessels harden and thicken, less
and less blood can get through
and the areas of the kidney to
which they supply blood shrink
and function less well. The disease
is generally slow in progress but
it may be acute and fatal.
Patients with Bright’s disease
usually require medical treatment
for a year or more. They must
drink a great amount of liquid.
They are given antibiotics and
placed on a diet containing no
salt. The latter is done because
salt tends to increase the body’s
retention of fluid and would thus
increase swelling. For a time at
least, these patients must remain
in bed 24 hours a day.
One of the most distressing
aspects of Bright’s disease is that
i one form of it, nephritis, attacks
I so many children. It is one of the
I most common chronic diseases of
I childhood. Like the other forms
of the disease, the cure for it isn’t
known. One of the first signs is
often swelling around the eyes,
especially in the morning. As the
illness progresses, the swelling
increases and spreads over the
body. Unlike other childhood
diseases which run their course
briefly, nephritis can go on for
years. It may cause death early
or late in its course.
DOC MAG SAYS:
If signs of Bright’s disease—
reduced kidney function, blood in
the urine or swelling—appears,
seek medical aid and follow your
doctor’s directions carefully.
LUNG CANCER RISING
The shocking increase in lung
cancer continues. The American
Cancer Society states that 35,000
Americans will die of lung can
cer this year and 30.000 of them
will be men. The Society urges a
yearly chest x-ray for all adults.
THE FARMER
THEN AND NOW
A little over 100 years ago a
farmer could produce only enough
food and fiber for four people, de
clares W. A. Sutton, director, Ag
ricultural Extension Service, Uni
versity of Georgia College of Ag
riculture. Now the farmer pro
duces enough for 21 people, re
leasing 17 to industry, which is
also of great importance to a
healthy economy, Sutton points
out.
INSECT DAMAGE
Dr. C. R. Jordan, entomologist,
Agricultural Extension Service,
says insects “eat away” at farm
income in many ways. External
parasites of livestock and poultry
reduce production of meat, milk,
and eggs. Timber is damaged,
home and buildings are attacked
by termites, and even food, cloth
ing, and grain in storage bear the
brunt of insect’s appetities.
GEORGIA WEALTH
Miss Mildred Ledford, home in
dustries specialist, Agricultural
Extension Service, says Georgia
has a wealth of native materials
that could be a veritable gold
mine for the craftsman. Honey
suckle, pine needles, willow, pal
metto, and white oak splints can
be made into useful and beautiful
articles as can Georgia clay and
semi-percious stones.
