Red Cross Turns
Down0fferMade
ByYoung Woman
Term Practice
Of Surgeon-General
"Anti-Democratic'

WASHINGTON, D. -(SNS)-
Action of the Baltimore branch of
the American Red Cross Medical
Service in refusing the offer of a
Negro woman as a blood donor in
the organizations program of
building blood banks" for national
defense. because Army and Navy
medical officers do not wish 10 mix
the blood of Negroes and whites"
was described by the National Me-
gro Congress as not only "ridicu-
lous" but entirely unworthy" of
the War Departments effort to
build public morale among Ameri-
can citizens.
Acting on complaint launched
with a national office two weeks
ago, Congress officials are taking up
the matter with the War Depart
ment with a view to having this
anti-democratic practice abolished
The American Red Cross has be-
gun to collect blood from Ameri-
can citizens. under the direction of
the Surgeon General of the United
States Army and the chief medical
officer Of the Navy, for the purpose
of establishing large supply OF
frozen blood for wartime use in all
branches of the Army and Navy.
To expedite this program, the or
ganization has set up blood clinics
throughout the country, urging cit
liens to offer themselves as donors.
Three weeks ago. Miss Wanda
Douglass, a member of the United
States Federal Workers Social Sc
curity Lodge in Baltimore, visited
the Red Cross clinic there In re-
Spouse to the call. She was refused
with the explanation that white
donors only were being accepted.
Questioned about the matter, DR..
William DeKline, head of the Med
ical Service Bureau, said that the
Army's surgeon general and the
corresponding medical officer in
the Navy had issued instructions
stating that only the blood of white
citizens was to be collected. There
was a psychological barrier" in
volved, DR.. DeKline said, which
made the rule feasible. Asked
whether this blood from white cit
liens would be used for Negro as
well as white soldiers, he said it
would, and that no problem would
be involved
An investigation revealed that
the following procedure is carried
out in Grating a supply of blood for
Army and Navy use. The blood of
each donor is tested for Syphilis,
either run through a centrifuge or
stored for several days in order to
allow the plasma Cor fluid to sep
arate from the blood cells.
The plasma is then skinned off
and added to the plasma of sew
eral persons, an operation which
naturalizes various anti-bodies, and
makes it available for immediate
use. For Naval use the plasma is
dried to powder, stored in air
tight containers for future use. It
becomes Immediately disable for
TRANSMISSION purposes with the sim
pie addition of water. The Army,
however, is making considerable use
of the plasma in fluid form for
shock and other accidents that taxi
place during maneuvers.

Describing the restricted area. in
Fayetteville, the nearest town, Mr..
Todd stated chat there ere only a
few luke joints, dives and the
like, where co1ored soldiers can
seek diversion. They can go into
none of the theatres or better eat
ing places. The Negro district is
very small, and there is even less
freedom of movement than is usual
in Southern towns.
Pecreational halls and facilities
for the entertainment of colored
soldiers are being provided by
camp authorities now, but Mr..
Fodd stated, only because of the
recent incident.
He also reported that the morale
of the soldiers was low. Most of
Them" he said, take a fatalistio
attitude They know they have
their backs to the wall, but they
also l-now there is nothing they can
do about it."
MIR. Todd talked with men from
Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi,
and Michigan, and observed that
all of them want desperately to be
moved
Mr.. Todd declared he'd reached
the conclusions that there will be
no racial peace until the attitude
of the military police is changed or
until colored soldiers are taken out
of southern camps.

These projects are in addition to
projects designed to benefit the
whole community such as sewage
disposal plants, Waterworks. etc.
Included among the latest pro-
jects announced are a Sc bed ad.
dition to the Negro hospital at
Norfolk, Va, to cost 1888, 1854; an

IT'S UP TO YOU

Every community, whether it be
a tiny village or teeming metro
polls, should at this time make fire
prevention a headlined civic ac-
tivity.
Fire prevention is vitality impor-
tant at any time. In this period,
when we are attempting to turn all
possible national resources to de-
fense purposes, its importance is
magnified many times. Anyone can
understand the menace of fire to
defense factories-one confagra-
tion could delay vital production
for months. And it should also be
understood that the prevention of
fire everywhere is definite con-
tribution to defense. Materials and
labor which are needed to rebuild
a home or barn or a place of bus
mess, cannot be used for defense
work. The more fires we prevent,
the fewer material shortages we
will have-and the faster the de-
fense effort will go through to sue
cessful consummation.
N1duy Vi VI WhACh th0
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, New York City, is the leader,
are doing everything conceivable to
fight and prevent fire. The National
Board, for instance, has given its
full services. without charge, to the
War and Navy departments, in Or
der to prevent fires in army camps,
naval bases, etc. 1t is carrying on
24-hour-a-day work against arson
and sabotage. 1t is intensifying its
inspection of communities and in
dustries. These activities are
bearing fine fruit. But they cannot
achieve maximum success without
unlimited public and civic aid and
cooperation.
Keep in mind the fact that fire
prevention is in the direct interest
of your safety, your security, your
survival. And do your part.

RADIANT LIVING
FIGURING our LIFE
By REV. c. NJ cRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, ceeiltOn. Md.


II will take no argument to con-
vince you that, in any mathematical
problem, to arrive at a correct
answer, you must have a right
start. If the figures with, which
you begin are wrong, it will be
impossible to come to the right
conclusion, even though you may
figure all day long.
This is the simple reason why
so many people can not solve the
problem of daily living. This is
why they become victims of acci-
dents. This is why sickness often
overtakes them. This is why ex-
ira unforeseen expenses eat up all
the money they make.
Here is the reason. Their Origi-
nal figures are wrong. The mis-
take they continually make is that
they always start with self instead
OF starting with God.
Consequently neither at the be-
ginning nor at any other time are
their desires, their purposes, or
their plans related to Gods will
for them.
When figuring out the problems
Of life there is only one right be-
ginning. 1t is to start with God.
This is what the greatest Teach
er concerning life has Himself de-
clared: seek ye first the kingdom
Of God and His righteousness and
all these other things shall be
added unto you"
But start with self" and the in-
visible forces of Divine Law will
not add" but will subtract" from
you. This subtraction is vividly de-
scribed by Haggai when he de-
clared: she that earneth wages ear
meth wages to put it into bag with
holes"
If you have come face to face
with some trouble, begin to think
your way back to where that trou-
BILE started and you will discover
that, at that point of beginning,
you left out of your thinking and
planning and action, all thought Of
what God would have you do.
The most difficult problem in life
can be solved when we begin with
God.

DIARY d :
BEAUTY AUTHOR
by Helene RUbinstein

wash your face with a grainy wash
ing preparation which will provide
some friction for your skin. Make
this your basic daily wash. Then,
in the morning and evening, use
rich concentrated cream to
cleanse and lubricate your skin.
Blend the cream into your complex
ion with firm, upward strokes fol-
lowing the youthful muscle struc-
ture of your face. Before going to
bed, apply medicated cream and
leave it on overnight.
One thing many teensters over
look is the importance of using
makeup that is absolutely pure and
scientific. Powders should be care
fully selected according to the type
of skin-a special powder should
be used for dry and for oily skin.
A makeup film or a lotion founda-
ton will conceal skin defects and
hold makeup smoothly. Rouge
and lipstick, too, should be select
ed with am eye toward supplement-
ing the effects of the daily seien-
tiflc care. Warm makeup tones, not
too brilliant, such as red coral in
rouge and lipstick, and a maures-
que shade Of powder, are best for
the kind of skin which is inclin-
ed toward coarse pores, oiliness or
other disturbances.
Finally, the following rules
shbuld he observed:
Avoid touching the face with
fingers while treating the skin.
Use cotton for powdering the
face, discarding the cotton used af-
ter each application.
Cleanse face thoroughly before
applying makeup.
Give hair and scalp proper at
tention, since falling dandruff ag-
graVates the condition.
Drink plenty of water.
Avoid rich foods.

garding your own skin problems,

FACTS ABOUT FHE
ST. LAWRENCE


Impressive testimony against the
st. Lawrence Seaway and Power
Project was recently given by
Charles l.. Raper, dean of the Col
lege OF Business and professor of
transportation at Syracuse Uniyer-
sitl, before the House Rivers and
Harbors Committee.
First, said DR.. Raper, the esti-
mated cost to the United States of
the project, $285,000, 900, is in all
probability far too low. Exper-
ience has proven that actual cost
of such gigantic construction
projects is almost always two or
three times estimated cost. The
estimated cost of the comparable
New York Barge Canal, for in
stance, was about $60,000,000 The
actual cost was almost $500, 900, 900.
Second, DR.. Raper believes that
the project is without national de-
fense value. 1t could not be COM
pleted, in his opinion and that of
other experts, before 1948 or 1949.
II would be of no benefit for prob
dDly oCNCn vi Cl6nb JCdAcf anu
would take vast amounts of money,
materials and labor, which are vi
tally needed for real defense work.
Third, he continues, there is no
shortage of transportation in the
area the seaway could serve. In
stead, there is a surplus. The rail-
roads have abundantly proved their
ability to handle the main load
without delay or congestion, and
the supplemental highway and wa
ter carriers are also doing an ex-
cellent job. On top of that, water
and ice conditions would close the
seaway for at least five months Of
each year.
Fourth, DR.. Raper can see littlq
merit in the St. Lawrence develop
ment as a producer of power. Here,
again, the time factor alone makes
it impractical. Furthermore, when
the highly concentrated hydro
plants were completed, they could
be easily put out of service by
bOmbers IL war came to this con-
tinent. The solution to any pow
er shortage which may exist, he
observes, is the construction of
numerous steam plants located |
near our coal mines and factory |

AVIATION AS A CAREER

Aviation, both military and civil,
has made tremendous strides in
the thirty-five years since it's be-
ginning, and has developed to such
an extent that it now offers splen-
did opportunities to the young
man about to choose a career or
profession.
The great advance in the science
of flying is strikingly shown by
the successful transatlantic, trans
Pacific, Pan-American, and world
flights, and by the constantly in
creasing use of airplanes for COM
mercial purposes. Air mail and the
commercial airlincs require the
services of a considerable number
of pilots, engineers, and technical
personnel; the design and con-
struction of airplanes and their ac-
cessories require competent de-
signers, craftsmen, mechanics, and
the like. These positions pay good
salaries, and the specialized posi-
tions require education and train
ing equivalent to that essential for
the learned professions.
The average individual in con-
sidering aviation is likely to think
of what it has to offer the pilot. At
present, airline pilots receive an
average of 5000 per month, and the
pay of co-pilots ranges between
$3.50 and $3.50 per month. This
phase of aviation is not only in
teresting but serves as excellenf
positions in the industry. Aviation
leaders agree that the best founda-
ton for the majority of positions
in the field of aeronautics is
thorough pilot training. The ability
to fly plane will greatly promote
career in any Of the fields Incl
dent to aeFonautics.
If you are air-minded and de-
sirous of aviation training, call or
write to U. S. Army Recruiting Sta
ton. Georgetown or U. s. Army Re-
cruitiug Station, Milford.

HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION
"a ON THE Hob a -.

When the. U. S. Government en-
courages increased truck preduc-
tion in the face Of reduced alIot-
ments Of steel and other essential
materials to other industries 1t Is
acknowledging the vital character
of Highway transportation.
A tremendous amount of direct
defense material is now passing
over the roads. Some of these
haulers are devoting over 80 per
cent of their equipment to this
work. Over and beyond this how
ever, it is almost impossible to
draw any definite line as to what
does and does not constitute haul
ing for defense.
1t has been aptly pointed out by
Harvey G. Fruehauf of Detroit, that
today the Highway is merely a
continuation of the factory produc-
tion line, and he bases his convic-
tions on conditions that have been
met in the operations of the Frue-
hauf Trailer Company of which he
is president. The materials and
products passing over the high
ways are necessary to our people to
keep them fed, clothed, and en-
ployed. Apparently the Govern
ment is wise to augment rather
than to check this activity. It
realizes that, as never before, all
transportation facilities will be
called upon for every bit of equip
ment they possess. Not only must
direct defense material be hauled
but the wheels of industry must be
kept turning to earn the money to
pay our tremendous defense taxes,
Lack of trucks and commercial
trailers would paralyze the coun-
try and prevent it from utilizing its
latent strength. Great and strong
as we are as a nation, we would
be doubly strong if we had twice
the highways and vehicles that we
have today.
