Cedar Rapids seniors discuss draft impact and training options. Students favor or oppose compulsory service framing training length, college credit, ROTC, and technical schooling as wartime preparation amid talk of national security and international repercussions.
The author at 1218 Third Street SW proposes rifle classes in schools and ROTC training in high schools. He urges Navy NROTC involvement and reflects on Hawkeye Boys State as a model to teach boys how the country is run, claiming it imparted more government knowledge than a semester coursework.
Dr. William Brady argues against self prescribing digitalis for heart disease. He warns readers to consult a physician and favors using B complex as a real heart tonic, ideally under medical supervision, as the safer alternative to digitalis.
The author recommends vitamin B complex taken as pills or liquids three daily then tapering, arguing strong evidence supports its use as a heart tonic. Calcium is also cited from Glasgow Medical Journal work as beneficial in chronic heart failure, lowering blood viscosity and easing heart workload.
The current Naval Reservist issue targets 1 750 000 readers nationwide and features a Cedar Rapids publicity recruiting and social activities program. Ensign John H. Hanna writes the article, with an aerial photo of the USS May's Island on the Cedar River taken by Del Blumenshine for The Gazette.
