ed," puts behind every inde-
pendent Rexall druggist the
full power of the vast United-
Rexall organization, which in-
cludes over 500 company-own-
ed chain stores in the larger
cities.

In announcing his unprece-
dented program, Mr. Dart stat-
ed that big business must take
positive steps to insure that
small business will be strong
and prosperous in order that
all business may survive. "The
continuance of our economic

system," he said, depends upon
every businessman having the
opportunity to suceed in his
own business.

The Community Drug Store
here at Slater is a part of the
business operated by the Slater
Community Association to fill
the needs of the people of Slater
and the surroundng commun-
ity for drug service. This store
began operations on July, 1942,
and has offered a complete line
of drugs and drug sundries
since its opening. With the
acquisition of the Rexall line,
the management feels it is in
a better position than ever to
serve the needs of its customers.

Army To Use
(Con't. from page 1, col. 5)

ganic disabilities can be utiliz-
ed in techical type positions in
such a manner as to be a great
asset to the Army.

In planning the action, the
War Department assembled a
partial list of the "overhead
type" positions that can be fill-
ed by these individuals. The
positions are as follows: Diesel
and automobile mechanic, clerk,
postal clerk, dental laboratory
technician, draftsmen, electri-
cians, machinist, moving pic-
ture projectionist, sign painter,
shoe repairman, stenographer,
tailor, teletype operator, tool-
room keeper, X-Ray technician,
key punch operator, classifica-
tion specialist, office machine
servicemen, telephone operator,
tabulating machine operator,
clerk-typist, medical technician,
shop clerk, leather and canvas
worker, finance clerk, radio re-
pairman, message center clerk,
low and high speed radio op-
erator, supply clerk, dental as-
sistant, medical laboratory
technician, pharmacy techni-
cian, radio-teletype mechanic,
small arms weapons mechanic,
camera technician, and photo-
graphic laboratory technician.
These positions and many more
may be filled by the disabled
who cannot meet the minimum
physical standard for Enlist-
ment or Inducation.

Selection of a disabled indi-
vidual for enlistment in the
Regular Army will depend on
his general physical condition
aside from the recorded physi-
cal handicap. Psychoneurotics
and hypochondriacs, those who
are unable to care for them-
selves as individuals in the com-
munity life of the Army, those
requiring constant hospitaliza-
tion or having progressive or
advancing disease disability,
men whose physical disabilities
prevent their training or as-
signment for any useful Army
specialty for which their ser-
vices are required and those in-
dividuals whose disability was

[article continues col. 5, bottom section]

not incurred as a result of
wonds received in honorable
service will be barred from en-
listment.

A portion of those qualified
disabled men may go overseas
for duty.

Enlistment of other than the
physically perfect admittedly
has its disadvantages but the
War Department study of the
project indicaates that the ad-
vantages provided by such en-
listments far exceed the disad-
vantages, and afford the Army
the opportunity of repaying in
part those men who sacrificed
their health when our Nation
was at war.

LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

The children who attend the
library clubs are carrying out
a very constructive unit of
work dealing with primitive
Eskimo life. The Girls' Club,
Boys' Club, and both Story
Hour groups are all working on
the same unit, each club making
is own contributions to the
project. From this activity, the
boys and girls are learning a
fine lesson of cooperation, since
they realize that the work of
each club is necessary to com-
plete the unit, and that the
work of their own club is en-
hanced by the accomplishments
of the other groups.

The children have arranged a
display of their work on a table
in the library. For this dis-
play, the Girls' Club made an
igloo and drew a picture show-
ing the aurora borealis, a group
of igloos, and Eskimo men in
kayaks. The Boys' Club made
canoes (common called kayaks)
and sleds, choosing the best
ones for the display. Although
the Story Hour children are
smaller than those of other
clubs, they too are making their
contribution to this unit by col-
oring pictures of the Eskimos,
learning songs about them, and
listending to stories of Eskimo
life. Too, short discussions re-
garding different phases of
Eskimo life are held at each
Story Hour meeting.

The main themes of this pro-
ject are interdependences, co-
operation, and man's relation
to his environment. As specific
objectives, the librarian hopes
that the children will learn
something of the food, shelter,
clothing, transportation, and
amusements of the Eskimos. It
is further hoped that those who
participated in this unit will
develop an attitude of respect
for people of other nations, and
that they will appreciate the
fact that children of all lands
enjoy games and play.

Members of the library clubs
and the librarian extend an in-
vitation to all those in the com-
munity who are interested in
this Eskimo unit to visit the
library and see the children's
work. We hope the adults
will not expect too much per-
fection in the display, since this
is the first attempt of the clubs
at such a project. Let us say,
also, that the things children
make are their own conceptions
and expressions, and even
though these objecs may not
be perfect, they should always
be treated with dignity, respect,
and word of encouragement
for those who made them.
