Health Record Shows Gains Despite War COURT HOUSE — Good news for the health front has marked completion of the firsj. year of this country's active participation in the aecord World War. This was revealed this week by a summary of the latest available information from national soufces prepared for-the Cape May County Health League by the Health Information Service of the New Jersey Tuberculosis League. At the end of the third quarter of 1942, the health record of the people of the United States and Canada is better than ever, the report showed. . This is indicated by the year-to-date death rate for the many millions of industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which is only 7.4 per 1,000 or 2.8 per cent below the previous minimum recorded at this dime last year. Influenza and pneumonia, which caused such havoc at this time of the last war, both record new low rates for this period of the year. The combing figure for the two/ 38.9 per 1000,000 is little more than one-quarter of the rate for 1917. The present minimum rate of 42.1 per 100,000 for tuberculosis is less than one-quarter of the mortality from tnis disease during the period of the last war. The three principal communicable diseases of childhood, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria have each continued to record minimum rates. These, together with measles, account for less than three deaths per 100,000. At the time of the first World War, these diseases caused about 18 times this number of fatalities. Another item in this year's record is the continuation of the downward trend in the maternal death rate, despite the sharp rise in the birth rate. In 1916 and 1917 this rate was approximately 18 maternal deaths per 100,000 or four times than of today. The decline in maternal mortality has been the result, largely, of the improvement in obstetrical care and may suffer a aet-back on account of the shortage of qualified medical personnel during this time of national em-

■menting on the report. Miss L Natalie M. Hand, K. N., county -tuberculosis nurse, pointed out that the favorable health picture msy be appreciably changed due t« cumulative effect of war-time •sercrowding, deprivation, anxie-

Scrap Metals Still

Needed For War

Iron and steel scrap will be needed in increasing quantities | and the requirements for this year’s production will entail s deeper penetration of the dor- ; mant scrap resources of tht farm, industry and heavier household metals, Lessing J. Rosen»ald director of the WPB Conservation Division, said this week. Despite statements that steel mills are "resting easy" and that scrap dealers are overstocked, the fact remains that most of the non-recurring scrap has gone into armament shipped abroad which never will come back, the

WPB official declared.

Current mill inventories of scrap are not large enough to satisfy any probable future demands and the situation can easily become acute again, he added.
