Strip mining is a simple, productive and inexpensive method of mining coal, both hard and soft; it accounts for one-third of the nation's total 500 million ton annual output. Big power shovels rip off the topsoil, then bite into the underlying seams to depths of more than 100 feet and load the coal onto trucks. But far too often, irresponsible strip miners, operating under ancient mineral-rights leases, have mined the land and simply moved on, leaving behind a fearful legacy of tormented earth. In West Virginia alone, strip miners are tearing up land at the rate...

The Commission suggested that a study be conducted to see if men who had been called for duty might not be able to choose the time they entered the service.

...LYMPH DRAINAGE. Many of the powerful antibodies against foreign protein are carried by lymphocytes, white blood cells circulating principally in the lymphatic system. Dr. Murray reported on a method in which a plastic tube is inserted in the thoracic lymph duct just above the collarbone. The lymph drains out by gravity into a plastic bag. With good drainage, up to 32 billion cells are removed daily, for as long as four months. They are separated from the lymph fluid by centrifuge, and the fluid is reinfused into the patient through an arm vein. With a well-drained lymph system, said...
