STRESS NEED OF
PLASMA BANK
Navy Doctor Urges Building
of Large Reserve of Blood
For Emergency
MEANS OF SAVING LIVES

Returning here from a seven
week study of British medical prob
lens, Capt. Charles S. Stephenson,
U. S. Navy Medical Corps, stressed
the necessity for the United States
to build up large reserves Of human
blood plasma for use in time of ma
tional emergency. Capt. Stephenson
stated that the biological laborator-
les of the United States have equip
ment for processing blood and pre-
pairing dried plasma. These labor
atories are now preparing several
hundred packages each week for
the American Red Cross program
to provide plasma for the Army
and Navy. The Red Cross project
calls for a reserve sufficient for CIV
ilian catastrophe aid. The program
has been established in seven cit
les and is soon to be expanded to a
total of % chapters. The Red
Cross already has provided the
armed forces with $4,000 blood
plasma units and expects to pro-
cure 100000 units. "In England,
the blood and blood plasma bank
has been the means of saving thou
sands of lives of civilians, who
would have died had it not been
possible to have administered the
blood plasma under field condi-
tions," Capt. Stephenson said. 1T
has been of tremendous value in
military operations, both in the
field and in the hospitals where the
wounded have been taken" Dried
plasma, now produced by the bio
logical laboratories, is packaged
with the proper amount of distilled
water to restore the essential fluid
ity and in its present form is avail
able for immediate use under any
possible condition of operation,
either in hospitals or in the midst
of the turmoil of battle or a bomb
ing raid on a crowded city.
II studied precise clinical reports
in England and found that the
technique is not only successful be-
yond expectations, but that it can
be carried out under conditions OF
stress and strain on the part OF
the medical staff which would at
first appear impossible" Capt
Stephenson said.

It's supply of Junior reserve of

.3-DAY DEFENSE

Meeting of Farm Security
Personnel Held at Bet

PLAN FUTURE NEEDS

A three-day meeting of the Farm
Security Personnel from Maryland
and Delaware was held in Better
ton, Maryland for the purpose of
planning the Farm Security Ad-
ministration Program for the COM
ing year to meet the needs of the
present day Defense Program. The
meetings were held by the Farm
and Home Management Section
with Mr.. Allan Doggett, Jr., Farm
Management Specialist, in charge
and assisted by Mrs. Grace Halle,
District Home Management Super
visor. In cooperation with the Ma
tional Defense Program, stress was
given to the Farm Security goals
of planning to increase food pro-
duction and consumption for better
nutrition, for better health and in
creasing the supply of food for the
proverbial "stockpile." Prepara-
tions were made to simplify the
farm and home planning to meet
the everyday needs of the farmer
and urge cooperation with the AAA
program and other government and
state agencies. By means of An
nual Borrowers Meetings, COM
munity problems such as purchas-
ing and marketing associations,
medical cooperatives, joint owner
ship of farm equipment and other
similar problems could be worked
out. Goals for community pro-
gress and planning for the coming
year are also of immediate import
ance. DR.. Besley, State Forester
discussed the woodlot management
and the need of preservation of the
farm timberland to increase the
value of land resources. Those ir

Lost Evidence in Army
Trial of 1889 Unearthed

BOSTON.-A rusty cannon ball
which So years ago would have been
evidence in convicting private Of
the attempted murder of his cap
tain-has been discovered at the
bottom of an old cistern at historic
Fort Warren in Boston harbor.
According to an old army story,
a private in 1889 dropped the 65-
pound cannon ball from the fort
wall. He missed only because his
hard-bitten captain failed to make
his customary stop for smoke in
a certain corner of the fort.
The story describes how two OF
the private's companions hid the
cannon ball under cover of night.
The private was set free at trial
when the all-important evidence
the cannon ball-could not be pro-
duced.
Army records show the captain
died in the Philippine islands in 1902
and the private left the army in
1910 and died in 1925.

Eleven to Two Hours
Safest, Reveals Doctor

The extensive studies made by
DR.. Emil Bogen, M. D., of Olive
View sanitorium, Los Angeles, and
presented before the recent Califor-
mia Medical association convention
at Coronado, seem to indicate that,
by the number of deaths occurring
then, p. m. is the most fatal hour
Of the "a which mark our day.
Assisted by Neil Garess. assigned
by the Works Progress administra-
ton, DR.. Bogen analyzed 16,4l1
death certificates recorded for 1885
in Los Angeles.
While, with the caution of the sci
enlist, he says his finding may not
be "conclusively significant, they
do show unmistakable trends-and
they definitely upset the common
belief that the wee small hours
of the morning." when all is still
and lonely, are the hours when
Death is most likely to come on his
sometimes terrifying, sometimes
soothing and benign mission. For,
says DR.. Bogen:
There are more deaths during
the hours of the day than at night.
'The daytime excess is most
marked with apoplexy, heart dis
ease, tuberculosis and pneumonia.
Death from diabetes and from
poisoning occur more often at night,
however,
When is it that the fateful Shadow
hovers least?
''The lowest death rates." Dr.
Bogen's paper shows, were seer
during the two periods from II a. m
to 2 p. m, and from II p. m. tc
2 a. m.

and to 8 p. M, WHEN THE DAHL Y

or to return from work and 60 tC

AT Long Last-A Police Radio

Smyrna residents will now
have full and dependable po-
lice protection, thanks to the
installation of a short wave
radio in the town police car.
This idea was first brought to
the public mind well over a
year ago, and many here have
been waiting for the day to
come when, should they want
police, they could go to their
telephone and be sure of quick
service. 1t will mean much to
this town to have this peace
of mind. Heretofore, partic-
ularly at night, it has ben diff
cult to contact the officer on
duty, since he is obliged to pa
troll the town in the car, and
has not always been quickly
available. The generous CO.
operation of the State Police
at Dover has made this new
service here possible.
