Last year nearly fi million pints of blood were collected, and this year 11 Red Cross has set a goal of fi million additional pints. After the blood is received it is treated to remove the red corpuscles, then frozen, dehydrated and powdered. To use it is mixed with distilled water. And the need for plasma in this war has been great. Thousands of wounded servicemen have received plasma in the treatment of severe conditions of shock, burn, and loss of blood.

As the fury of battle increases toward victory the need of plasma is increasing also and medical officers are making urgent pleas for more and more of the life-saving fluid. Wilh The AEF Kenneth L.

In order to understand it you must realize that delighted French patriots line the streets of all the towns and villages as the Yanks roll through. At the same time, the towns may still contain a few snipers so that it is not good policy to loiter. The life expectancy of any such sniper, once he fires into an American column, generally is less than ten minutes. French patriots take care of that. Nevertheless the speed of his subsequent demise help whoever he has hit, so the safest policy is to keep high balling.

Navy, of Mrs. William Sheverette, Second uue south, who spending a 30 day leave with lathes after two years of service in the South Pacific, left yesterday for Chicago to visit several days with his brother before reporting to Santa Rosa, California. Richards participated in the invasion of Bougainville and Munda, landing with the Marines, and his naval unit was the first of Guadalcanal after the Marines had landed there. At Bougainville he suffered a broken arm while diving into a foxhole when the Japs came over on one of their constant raids.

Richards reported that the natives in the South Pacific speak pidgeon English and lead a simple life. A wealth is measured in pigs and when wants a wife, he merely goes to the girl's father and trades a designated number of pigs for the girl, after which she is the wife for life, or until he gets tired of her. Wildlife on the islands consists of parrots aud parakeets, bats with wing spread of over feet, snakes up to is feet in length, and wild cattle. There are a few monkeys but they live mainly in the dense jungle, Richards said. Richards and several of his pals found a wild boar In the jungles when the animal was about three days old.

Kipling Club Competes Twenty boys and girls of the Kipling 4-H Summer clubs displayed exhibits of garden produce, canning, wild flower collections and insect collections in the Sr. High school gymnasium at Es- cauaba, Thursday, August 31, where the Delta County Achievement Day program was held. The garden displays were arranged on paper plates placed on field of green. The canning club members displayed a variety of canned fruits and vegetables. This is their second year in canning.

Two girls who displayed in the second year were among the canning club members who took first place in the canning club which exhibited at the last U. P. State Fair in Escanaba several years ago. Both boys and girls exhibited their products including: peaches, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, pears, apricots, plums, tomatoes, tomato juice, beans. This is the first year that members have taken the insect and wild flower study.

One ten-year- old boy and a sixteen year old girl took these projects and reported them to be not only interesting but educational. The ten year boy made a collection of over sixty different wild flowers of this community. Most of them he found within one-half mile from his home. Few people take time to notice these beautiful flowers which are found just outside of their back door. The insect collections Included over 25 different insects which were mounted and labeled for the exhibit.

At the afternoon program the following county honor members were chosen from the Kipling 4-H club: Gardening Second Year Blue groups, County Alaric Castor and Roger Beauchamp. Red Johnson. Gardening First Year Red Lam berg. Norman Lamberg and Harold Berg. White Gous.

Of these, the memorandum said 1,784 are classified as combatant ships and include large type landing craft. Forrestal said the warships added to the Navy number more than three times those in the fleet just before the war started. This means the Navy has at least 1.150 ships of principal fighting battleships, aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers and submarines.

These are the vessels but it is the auxiliary ships Forrestal continued, that make the victories possible by supplying the fighting fleet. In addition to the vast growth In ships, Forrestal gave these figures on other expansion in the five years since the European war started: planes delivered, air strength increased 20 times and still growing 30,000 planes to be delivered in the next 12 months. production increased 40 times over 1939. Depth charge production 60 times rreater than five years ago; 125,000 anti-aircraft guns and one billion rounds of anti-aircraft ammunition produced. every person serving in the Navy.

Marine Corps, and Coast Guard in Sept. 1939, there are over 2 4 today. Combined strength of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard is 3,717,000. Forrestal also reported that many new weapons of which cannot be talked have been developed to meet modern battle conditions.
