Engineering New ID Card System

Week Program

Is Announced Will Be Implemented


"Engineering-a better tomor-
row through technology," will be
the theme for this annual observ-
ance of Engineers' week to be held
February 20 to 26.
Sponsored by the Canal Zone
Society of Professional Engineers,
this year's program stresses the engi-
neering profession need to focus
positive attention in the merits of
applied technology to meet the ur-
gent problems of the day and create
a better tomorrow.
In a proclamation signed recently,
Canal Zone Gov. David S. Parker
designated the week as National
Engineers' Week in the Canal Zone.
The same proclamation sets aside
February 26 as Engineers' and
Architects' Day.
Participating in the observation
of this year's events also are the
Panama Section of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, the
Canal Zone Post of the Society of
American Military Engineers, and
the Canal Zone Architects.
A number of special events have
been scheduled for Engineers' Week
which include:
Engineering students from Bal-
boa High School and from Cristobal
High School will compete in the
popular Science TV Quiz program
which is tentatively scheduled to be
presented on SCN-TV at 8:05 p.m.,
February 22, with Raymond Shaw,
Chief of the Surveys Branch, acting
as moderator.
Engineers, architects, and their
ladies and guests will board the
crane-boat Atlas at Diablo Heights
Dredging Division Pier, Wednes-
day, February 23, at 5 p.m. for an
inspection trip of the outer harbor,
returning at 9 p.m. Tickets for the
trip including a "fish fry" are avail-
able at $3.50 per person and dress
is sports wear.
The traditional annual banquet
will be held at the Amador Officers'
Club, Saturday, February 26, at
6:30 p.m.; music for dancing will
be furnished by Tito Batista. All
engineers and architects, their ladies
and friends are invited. Governor
and Mrs. Parker and Lieutenant
Governor and Mrs. Clark will be

A new type of photo identifica-
tion card has been devised to replace
the Identification-Purchase Card
currently being used by Canal orga-
nization employees.
The streamlined identification pur-
chase authority cards will replace
the current Form 3002 issued an-
nually to U.S. citizens, Form 3003
issued monthly to non-U.S.-citizen
residents of the Canal Zone, and the
"Job Site" portion of Form 3004
issued annually to non-U.S. citizens
residing in the Republic of Panama.
The medical portion of Form 3004,
now issued annually to dependents
of non-U.S.-citizen employees res-
iding in the Republic of Panama,
will be continued. The new card
also will replace the photo badges
now issued to employees working
in specific vital installations.
The new cards will be color-
coded to designate whether the
holder is eligible to purchase in the
Panama Canal organization retail
stores or is limited to "job site" and
medical authorization only. Color
coding also will be used to identify
the vital installation (Locks, Ter-
minals, or Industrial area, Mount

Higher Production

Costs Nudge Milk

Prices Upward
Due to higher production costs,
retail prices for reconstituted milk
will increase from 210 to 240 a
quart and from 400 to 450 a half
gallon container, effective March 1.
Prices for other reconstituted
milks, buttermilk, chocolate, straw-
berry, skim, and eggnog will be in-
creased proportionately. The stu-
dent price for half pint reconstituted
milk will remain unchanged at 50.
One of the major causes for this
price increase is the fact that pur-
chase costs for raw materials have
steadily increased and they are now
double the level they were only 1
year ago.
The last price increase for recon-
stituted white milk was in January
1965.


Hope) in which the employee regu-
larly works. Employees' dependents,
12 years of age and over, who are
eligible to purchase in Canal retail
stores, will be issued cards.
Applications for the photo iden-
tificacion card-purchase authority
card will be distributed on Thurs-
day, February 17, to all permanent
employees of the Canal organiza-
tion. After these forms are filled out
by the employees, they will be
reviewed by the head of the divi-
sion or his representative who will
certify the employment status and
roll and gang number of the em-
ployee and the vital installation
area, if any, in which he regularly
works.

Carnival C


To Start T
Panama's carnival festivities begin
tonight with the coronation of Her
Majesty Bleixen I, Panama's Car-
nival Queen, at the Juan Dem6s-
tenes Arosemena Stadium at 8 p.m.
Simultaneously, merrymaking Co-
lonites will gather at the Acoustic
Shell of Colon's Fifth of November
Park to witness the coronation cere-
monies of Her Majesty Gioconda I,
Colon's Carnival Queen.
A liberal leave policy will be ob-
served by the Canal organization
during carnival days so that em-
ployees not vitally needed at their
places may enjoy and participate in
the merriment.
On Monday, Comparsa Day, Canal
Zone participants will join with
Panama's Carnival Queen and her
court and all the other queens
and comparsas in the foot parade

tional Tuesday parade passing

side, attired to represent hemispheric
nations, and accompanied by four
escorts, will ride atop the Canal
float through the crowds of Central
Avenue.
' Tuesday's parade is the highlight
of Carnival. Beautifully decorated
floats sponsored by Government,
social and civic organizations, in
addition to the float carrying the
Carnival Queen and her court, will
wind their way through the streets.
On the Pacific side, the Tuesday
parade will begin at 1:30 p.m.

Young Heart Victim


Gets Needed Help


By Ann West, Women's Editor
Southern Command News
Rina Raquel Ruiz is a lovely,
10-year-old brown-eyed little girl
from Colon with a happy smile, a
lilt in her voice, and an infinite
capacity for enjoying life and look-
ing forward to a bright future.
A few months ago this future was
neither bright nor assured. Rina was
suffering from cardio-vascular differ-
ence and rheumatic fever, and to
stay alive needed an operation which
could be performed only in the
United States.
The problems of getting medical
aid for Rina seemed insurmountable.
Not only would there be the sur-
geon's fee, but money was needed
for medicine, hospitalization, and
transportation to and from the
States.
Determined To Help
John H. Harris of Margarita,
a Terminals Division employee,


heard of Rina's illness and became
interested in her case. He was deter-
mined to do anything possible for
the girl, but he needed help.
Through many letters and tele-
phone calls to various medical cen-
ters in the United States, Harris
finally located Dr. Denton A. Cooley
of the Houston Medical Center who
offered to perform the operation free
of charge. This generosity on the
part of Dr. Cooley brought the
reality of an operation much closer.
Remaining would be the expenses
of getting Rina there, and her care
during the operation.
Appeals Is Made
Harris made an appeal on behalf
of Rina to various organizations and
private individuals both in the Canal
Zone and the Republic of Panama.
The response was overwhelming.
Within 1 month, enough money had
been donated to send the child to
Houston and assure her being able

turning onto Fourth of July Avenue
and along President Kennedy Ave-
nue, where the parade comes to an
end. Canal Zone residents can view
the parade at Fourth of July Ave-
nue and President Kennedy Avenue
at about 4 p.m.
The Tuesday parade on the At-
lantic side will begin at 3:30 p.m.
starting on Bolivar Avenue at the
Hotel Washington. The parade will
continue along all Bolivar Avenue
and then onto Central Avenue end-
ing at Second Street, giving all em-
ployees on the Atlantic side an
opportunity to see the spectacle.


300 Expected

At Boy Scouts

Awards Dinner
The Canal Zone Council, Boy
Scouts of America, will honor its
adult scout leaders at the annual
awards dinner to be held at the Fort
Amador Officers' Club, Friday, Feb-
ruary 18, at 7 p.m. Approximately
300 persons are expected to attend
the event, whose theme is "Scout-
ing on the Isthmus."
Highlighting the evening's pro-
gram will be the presentation of the
Silver Beaver Award, scouting
highest award, and the award of
Las Buenas Obras to be made by
Dr. Charles L. Latimer, Jr. and Wes
Townsend.
Awards also will be presented to
scouting units and individual awards
will go commissioners, Cub masters,
Scoutmasters and Explorer advisors
in recognition of their outstanding
contributions to Scouting.
Maj. Gen. George L. Mabry, out-
going president of the council, will
serve as master of ceremonies. Gen-
eral Mabry also will give a talk on
the highlights of scouting in the
Canal Zone during the past year. As
part of the program, he will pass
the gavel to Rear Adm. Charles H.
Griffiths, the incoming president.
A skit by Troop 3 of Balboa, spon-
sored by the American Legion, is
included in the program.
Canal Zone Gov. David S. Parker
and U.S. Ambassador Robert M.
Sayre, honorary council presidents,
will participate in the awards dinner
program.

Malaria Outbreak
Occurs in Escobal
An outbreak of malaria has oc-
curred at the town of Escobal in
the Republic of Panama on the
shores of Gatun Lake. Panama Min-
istry of Health officials are taking
emergency measures to bring the
situation under control.
Escobal lies about 10 miles away
from Gatun, the nearest Canal Zone
residential area.
The Health Director advises that
there is no danger to vessels transit-
ing the Canal nor to regular res-
idents in the Zone unless they fre-
quent unsanitated areas at night.
Mosquitoes which carry malaria
usually bite from dusk to dawn. Per-
sons frequenting the remote areas

THE PANAMA CANAL SPILLWAY


Dick Bjorneby Serving


5th Term on Council


Richard J. Bjorneby, first vice
president of the Coco Solo-France
Field Civic Council, is a man of ver-
satile talents who finds nothing more
fascinating than people. And appar-
ently the attraction is mutual as his
record in the Civic Council shows.
Bjorneby has been president two
terms and vice president three terms.
Bjorneby came to the Canal 10
years ago from Bremerton, Wash.,
where he graduated from Olympic
College. He also attended the Uni-
versity of Washington at Seattle.
Prior to becoming an admeasurer,
he was a rigger and a diver, two
jobs that he considers among the
most interesting in the organization.
Bjorneby and his family, com-
posed of the former Patricia Leach,
a local girl born at the old Colon
Hospital, and their five children are
a close knit unit that enjoys doing
things together, especially traveling.
In 1966, they motored to the United
States by car, staying at motels and
hotels along the way. Two years
later they made the trip in a pick-up
truck with a camper and camped
along the way. They have traveled
extensively in the United States and
Canada. Mrs. Bjorneby's father,
John Leach, retired from Canal serv-
ice in 1962 with 42 years of service.
Mrs. Leach was a speech therapist
for the School Division for 7 years.
She is presently a recreation assist-
ant at Fort Davis.
As an admeasurer Bjorneby has
boarded more than 8,000 ships so
it is most fitting that he is a collector
of pictures of ships. He has more
than 2,000, all signed by their cap-
tains. Among his collection are pic-
tures of old passenger ships no
longer sailing the seas, such as the
Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and
the United States. Bjorneby also
collects coins and stamps and has a
moderate collection of old bottles.
But as a collector, his real forte is
his collection of beer cans and


Musical Benefit

Show To Held at

BHS Auditorium
A musical show will be presented
at Balboa High School Auditorium
on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,
February 17, 18, and 19, at 7:30
p.m. A special children's show will
be presented at 2:30 p.m., Feb-

Admission will be free but the

Children in Panama, which is in
urgent need of funds to buy fill for
their land that floods during the

The vocal portion of the program
will be provided by Jeannette and
Ines Teresa See, Kathy Wilhelm,
and The Strummers, a new musical
group. The dancing part of the pro-
gram will range from pure jazz to
classical ballet. On Sunday after-
noon the dance portion of the show

Community Helped
-Harris expressed his gratitude for
Rina to members of the U.S. Army,
Navy and Marine Corps and other
members of the community who,

enough for another human being to
respond with open hearts.

Con Exito del Coraz6n


Por ANN WEST
Editor Femenina del Southern
Command News
Rina Raquel Ruiz de 10 afios de
edad, es una graciosa nifiita de ojos
chocolates con una sonrisa feliz, que
canta alegremente y tiene una capa-
cidad infinita para gozar de la vida
y en espera de un future brillante.
Hace pocos meses este future no
era ni brillante ni seguro. Rina, que
reside en la ciudad de Col6n, estaba
sufriendo de una diferencia cardio-
vascular y fiebre reumitica, y para
seguir viviendo necesitaba una ope-
raci6n que s61o podia hacerse en los
Estados Unidos.
Los problems para conseguir
ayuda m6dica para Rina parecian
insuperables. Alli habria no s61o los
honorarios del cirujano, sino que se
necesitaba dinero para medicines,
hospitalizaci6n y transport hacia y
dcsde los Estados Unidos.
John H. Harris, de Margarita,
Zona del Canal, Ayudante del Co-
mandante de Seguridad de la Divi-
si6n de Terminales, Ramo de Segu-
ridad, en Crist6bal, supo de la en-
fermedad de Rina y se interest en
su caso. Estaba determinado para
hacer todo lo possible por la nifia,
pero necesitaba ayuda.
Por medio de muchas cartas y Ila-
madas telef6nicas a various centros
en los Estados Unidos, Harris loca-
liz6 finalmente al Dr. Denton A.
Cooley del Centro Medico de Hous-
ton, quien se ofreci6 a llevar a cabo
la operaci6n gratuitamente. Esta ge-
ncrosidad de parte del Dr. Cooley
hizo que la operaci6n se acercara
mAs a la realidad. Lo que faltaban
eran los gastos para llevar a Rina
allA y su atenci6n durante la opera-
ci6n.
Harris hizo un Ilamado a nombre
de Rina a varias organizaciones y
personas en particular tanto en la
Rep6blica de Panama como en la
Zona del Canal. La respuesta fue


abrumadora. En el t6rmino de 1
mes, se habia recibido dinero sufi-
ciente para enviar a la nifia a Hous-
ton y asegurarse que pudiera espe-
rar un future brillante. Rina estaba
en camino.
La operaci6n tuvo un 6xito com-
pleto y Rina regres6 a Panama es-
perando vivir la vida feliz y active
de cualquier otra nifia de su edad,
lo que no habia podido hacer a tra-
vys de 4 afios de enfermedad.
Harris express su gratitud a nom-
bre de Rina a los miembros del Ejer-
cito, Armada y Cuerpo de Infante-
ria de Marina de Estados Unidos, y
otros miembros de la comunidad,
quienes, desde el comienzo de la
campafia para lograr fondos para
enviar a Rina a los Estados Unidos
para la operaci6n, le dieron su com-
pleto apoyo y cooperaci6n.

Para la Leche

Reconstituida
Debido a los mAs altos costs de
producci6n, los precious al por menor
de la leche reconstituida aumen-
tarAn de 210 a 240 el cuarto y de
400 a 450 el envase de medio gal6n,
a partir del 19 de marzo.
Los precious para otras leches re-
constituidas, suero de manteca, cho-
colate, fresa, desnatada y ponche
seran aumentados proporcionalmen-
te. El precio para estudiantes para la
media pinta de leche reconstituida
seguirA sin cambiar a 50.
Una de las principals causes
para este aumento de precious es el
hecho de que los costs de compra
para los materials crudos han
aumentado constantemente y son
ahora del double del nivel en que
estaban hace s61o 1 afio.
El Altimo aumento de precious
para la leche reconstituida fue en
enero de 1965.

tificaci6n ha sido disefiado para re-

La Srta. Ambar del Carmen Moreno
CArdenas es ayudante estudiantil en
el Ramo de Ingenieria Civil de la
Division de Ingenieria. Presta servi-
cios en las oficinas principles de la
division, en el tercer piso del Edifi-
cio de Administraci6n de Balboa
Heights. EstA encantada con el am-
biente que existe en ese departa-
mento y dice que se Ilev6 una muy
agradable sorpresa al ver cuantos
panamefios trabajan alli y el gran
ambiente de compafierismo que rei-
na en todo moment. "De moment,
lo que hago es tratar de ser itil en
todo lo que pueda. Ayudo en la
confecci6n de grAficas, en la pre-
paraci6n de informes sobre los dife-
rentes trabajos que lleva a cabo el
ramo de ingenieria civil, tanto en
las esclusas como en otras Areas del
Canal, y trato de familiarizarme con
todas las facetas del trabajo que eje-
cuta el ramo". La Srta. Moreno CAr-
denas naci6 en la ciudad de Panama,
hija del matrimonio formado por el
Ing. David Moreno, Jefe del Depar-
tamento de Planifcaci6n del Insti-
tuto de Acueductos y Alcantarilla-
dos Nacionales (IDAAN), y de la
Sra. Panchita de Moreno, muy cono-
cida publicista que presta servicios
en la Estrella de Panama. Ambar
estA sumamente orgullosa de sus
padres. Dice que su papA es un hom-
bre de muy buen caricter y suma-
mente meticuloso y responsible en
su trabajo. Algo que le llama la
atenci6n es que, a pesar de ser in-
geniero, tambidn se dedica a escri-
bir pAginas literarias sobre temas
del agro panameiio. De su madre se
expresa en terminos muy elogiosos.
Dice que le admiral ver a su madre
hablar de multiples y diferentes
temas de la vida modern, relacio-
cionarse con personas de todas las
classes sociales y de muy diferentes
profesiones y sobre todo, ver c6mo
describe sobre los diferentes temas
que tiene que tocar en su profesi6n
de periodista. Dice: "La carrera del

periodista es sumamente interesante,
lena de magnificas experiencias,
donde se encuentra algo nuevo cada
dia, pero para dedicarse a ella hay
que tener el don de saber expre-
sarse, ya sea oralmente como por
escrito, y por eso es que yo creo
que no la adoptaria como profe-
si6n". La Srta. Moreno CArdenas
hizo sus studios en el acreditado
colegio de las Esclavas del Sagrado
Coraz6n de Jesus situado en el Area
de Punta Paitilla. Actualmente se
prepare para ingresar a su quinto
aiio de Ingenieria Civil en la Uni-
versidad Santa Maria La Antigua.
No tiene planes definitivos sobre sus
studios de postgrado, pero si cree
que tomar un curso de programa-
ci6n de computadoras para encon-
trar sistemas que faciliten la labor
de la ingenieria civil. Dice que si
se le present la oportunidad de


poder estudiar en el extranjero, le
gustaria especializarse en Ingenieria
Hidriulica. Aficionada a las activi-
dades al aire libre, a Ambar le en-
canta la nataci6n, el volibol, el tenis
y paseos al interior de la Repiblica.
"Y tengo bastantes motives", comen-
ta, "pues mi padre es de la Villa de
Los Santos y mi mama de la ciudad
de Chitr6". Tambi6n es aficionada a
la lectura, especialmente sobre psi-
cologia y le encanta la m6sica, sin
que tenga una preferencia en parti-
cular. Dice que el Canal de Pana-
ma, como obra de ingenieria, es algo
incredible y, como ruta para el comer-
cio mundial, quizAs lo mis valioso
que ha hecho el hombre para mejo-
rar su estandar de vida en los ilti-
mos mil aiios. Su mayor deseo es
terminar su carrera y luego poder
former un hogar y seguir practicando
su profesi6n.

SPILLWAY DEL CANAL DE PANAMA


REGINALD GRENALD


Campe6n al Bate de Panama Labora


En Division de Dragado del Canal


No es lo mismo empuiiar un bate
en un juego de beisbol, que empu-
fiar una Have de tuberia para hacer
un ajuste en una maquina perfora-
dora, pero Reginald Grenald, ayu-
dante operario de sonda de granalla
en la Secci6n de Perforaci6n de la
Divisi6n de Dragado en Gamboa,
sabe hacer ambas cosas y muy bien.
Grenald, un bocatorefio nacido
hace 40 aiaos en Almirante, se en-
cuentra laborando con la organiza-
ci6n del Canal de PanamA desde el
12 de agosto de 1971. Su empleo
es solamente por 1 afio, pero su
jefe inmediato Dick Wharry, super-
intendente de la Secci6n de Perfo-
raci6n, espera que Grenald se que-
de trabajando en forma permanent
en la secci6n, ya que es un magni-
fico empleado y se ha ganado la
simpatia de jefes y compafieros de
de trabajo por su dedicaci6n y
sencillez.
Pero lo mAs notable de Grenald
fuera de su trabajo, es que es un
pelotero professional de renombre en
PanamA y acaba de conquistar el
campeonato de bate del iltimo cam-
peonato, jugando con los campeo-
nes Guardia Nacional. Precisamente
fue Grenald el que dispar6 el hit
de oro que impuls6 las 2 carreras
del triunfo, con las cuales Guardia
Nacional venci6 a los Gigantes del
Bari por 6 carreras a 4, en lo que
fue el iltimo juego de la series final
para decidir el campeonato de beis-
bol professional de PanamA 1971-72.
Por su gran actuaci6n fue seleccio-
nado el jugador mAs valioso de la
temporada.
Y su jefe Wharry dice que
Grenald nunca ha interferido el
trabajo en la Divisi6n de Dragado
con el beisbol, ni el beisbol con el
trabajo. "Es un buen empleado y
me gustaria tenerlo mis tiempo en
mi secci6n", dijo. "Su trabajo es
temporal, pero se merece que lo
designed en forma permanente,
termin6 diciendo.
Grenald es ayudante de maqui-
nista de perforaci6n y ha estado
hacienda trabajos en las Esclusas de
Miraflores, en las dos riberas del
Canal y en todos los lugares en don-
de sea necesario hacer perforaciones.
Dice que si tiene suerte le darAn
una extension en su trabajo, que
ahora es temporal por 1 afio. Le
gusta lo que estA haciendo, y le va
muy bien tanto con sus jefes como
con sus compafieros de trabajo.
Ultimamente ha estado viajando
para jugar beisbol professional ya sea
en M6xico o CanadA, pero mani-
fiesta que este afio se quedara en
PanamA pues seguirA laborando con
la Division de Dragado.
Grenald labor anteriormente con
la antigua "Mechanical Division"
en Crist6bal de 1948 a 1950, coma
ayudante mecAnico.
Comenz6 a jugar al beisbol afi-
cionado en Col6n, en donde estuvo
residiendo desde pequefio y repre-
sent6 a esa provincia en el Campeo-
nato Nacional de Beisbol que se
celebr6 en Las Tablas en 1950. Al
afio siguiente fue al Campeonato
National celebrado en Chitr6, pero
en esa ocasi6n vistiendo el uniform
de Bocas del Toro, por ser native
de alli.
En este filtimo torneo national
qued6 como segundo entire los mejo-
res bateadores, ya que el uiltimo dia
de la competencia no pudo conectar
de incogible y se lo gan6 Pedro
"Pepe" Osorio del equipo de
Herrera.
Pero su actuaci6n le vali6 el in-
greso en la selecci6n national que
fu6 a la Serie Mundial de Beisbol
Amateur que se celebr6 en 1951
en Mexico, en donde result cam-
pe6n de bate con un promedio
superior a los .500.
Un buscador de talent de la
organizaci6n de los Piratas de Pitts-
burgh, Ilamado Howie Haak, lo via
actuando en MAxico y lo firm6 para


que jugara con un club suoursal de
los Piratas. Fue asignado al equipo
Mexicali, de clase C con el cual jug6
en la temporada de 1952, despu6s
de haber recihido su bautismo como
professional en PanamA con el equi-
po Spur Cola en la temporada de
1951-52.


No saldri mAs al exterior a jugar,
porque quiere seguir trabajando con
la organizaci6n del Canal.

Despu6s de eso jug6 en Visalia,
Hutchinson, Williamsport, Lincoln,
Columbus, Binghamton en los Esta-
dos Unidos, Tigres de M6xico, Villa
Hermosa, Puerto Mexico y Sabina,
en M6xico, y con los Cardenales de
Granville en la Liga de Canada. Su
Altima salida la hizo el aio pasado
para jugar con el Sabina en la Liga
Mexicana triple A.
Grenald es uno de cuatro pelo-
teros activos que tienen 20 o mAs
aios de servicio con la Liga Profe-
sional de Beisbol de Panama. Los
otros son Ferando Alberto "Mama-
vila" Osorio con 24, George "Bob-
by" Prescott 21 y Stanley Arthurs 20.
Ha jugado con las novenas Spur
Cola, Cerveza Balboa, Chiriqui-
Bocas, Marlboro, Santa Clara, Pana-
lit, Rambler v Guardia Nacional.
Estuvo con seis ganadores de cam-
peonato y con 8 sotaneros.
Este afio gan6 su primer campeo-
nato de bate en el beisbol profesio-
nal panamefio con .417 al conectar
25 incogibles en 60 turnos, con 8
doubles y un cuadrangular, ademis
de impulsar 13 carreras.
En las 20 temporadas que ha ju-
gado en PanamA, Grenald tiene


promedio de .254 con 475 incogi-

Sobre Uso Excesivo de Sal


El Dr. Frank De Genaro y el Dr.
W. L. Nyham, del Departamento de
Pediatria de la Universidad de Cali-
fornia San Diego, La Jolla, en un
articulo publicado en el "Journal of
Pediatrics", laman la atenci6n so-
bre el peligro de usar la sal como un
"antidoto", (remedio para contra-
rrestar el efecto de los venenos),
particularmente en relaci6n con los
nifios.
A pesar de que el uso de la sal
como un emetico, agente que in-
duce al v6mito), en casos en que se
sospecha un envenenamiento, es
anunciado ampliamente en la eti-
queta de products comunes del ho-
gar, en manuals de primeros auxi-
lios y en literature pediAtrica, la
mayoria de estas recomendaciones
son vagas o ambiguas con respect
a la cantidad de sal que debe utili-

Los mencionados doctors infor-

salud por haber usado una dosis no
correct de sal como "antidoto".
Recomiendan no usar la sal y, en
su lugar, utilizar sirope de ipeca-

que se ha convertido en algo muy
com6n pues al usarlo no se produ-

De acuerdo con dichos m6dicos,

tos, ropa protectora y dormir bajo
mosquiteros durante la noche.
Las medidas para la erradicaci6n
de la malaria en la Zona del Canal
continalan diariamente a cargo de la
Division de Sanidad y de unidades
militares en aproximadamente 100
millas cuadradas de Areas saneadas
que rodean las comunidades de la
Zona e instalaciones del Canal.

vaticidas se efect6an para controlar
los criaderos de mosquitos. La Di-
visi6n de Sanidad tambien aplica
insecticides residuales en el interior

mosquitos y examine a los residen-
tes debido a la malaria. Si se en-
cuentran casos, se les atiende en los
hospitals de la Zona.
