On June 11th, at the high school,the residents of Miliburn wil lhave - another opportunity to con-tribute to the Red Cross BloodBan!:. All of us realise the vi ta limportance of this particular wareffort , but few of us can visua l -ize the- 'battle-front co nd iti on sunder which this' blood plasiaa isfrequently used or the almost mir-aculous saving c£ human l i fe whichhas cone to be exp ect ed in this waras the. nornal recovery average.

On a night "in Africa, some weeksago, four hundred soldiers badlyburned by flawing oil, werebrought into a field hospital be-

tween niiCiEL.-tsht and eight a ;»ri. Thehospital was well-suppl ied withscaled, packages of dried blood,plasiaa and, the st er il e Water or-.dapparatus to reconsti tute and i.';,™fuse ito Of.the four hundred ter-ribly burned soldi ers, only six.died.Plasma saved the lives of therest .

Traumatic or surgical shock is of-ten the greatest menace to a b£<3,«-ly burneel ma n , to one whose fleshend bone has been mangled by burst-ing steel,or who is seriously hbiii--prrhaging". It often renders impos-sible the immedia te surg ical -carethat may be necessary to saves SUQIImen from douth or permanent mut i -lat ion. The y el low -gold, flaky povj--f.er prepa red fro m bloo d coll ecte dby the Rod Cross (and. the -anorG. re-cently- developed, -serum alburai.fi)reduces shock with dramatic swift*ness and gives the surgeons theirohanoo to start operating at once.

It would have been well-nigh im-

possible , in tha t No rt h .Africanhospi ta l , to have found four hun-dred blood 'donors, typed the irblood and that of the burned, sol-diers , and performed four hunclrodtr an sfu sio ns _in, tiEio_».

VICTORY GARDENS

The simple life which our grand-fathers used to-reminisce aboutand which-some of us have longedfor in timos of stressj is makinga totally unexpected como-back inthese war years .

With only enough gasoline to getus to and from our work; with theoil shortage making wood fires adaily necessity instead of an oc-casional relaxation; and finallywith the food shortage promisingto make farmers of us all, wo arerelearning some of the sturdiervirtues of solf reliance and self

denial. The inconvenience and theminor irritations cf getting along

with loss may have produced some,grousing hero and tnor o, but It isalso producing a friendlier spir-it of neighborly cooporation.
