PIasn,a Bank
Is Started in
Juneau Today
George 6ombert Is First
Blood Donor for Emer-
genty TRANSMISSION

Juneaus Plasma Bank was in
augurated this m orning, with
George Gombert acting as the first
donor for the collection which st.
AIMS Hospital is building up for
emergency use in the city.
Supplies for the bank have just
arrived. But before the plans were
complete for the collection OF plas-
ma, Mr.. Gombert and two other
Juneau residents had already Of
fered their blood for the bank.
Mr.. Gombert was informed this
morning that the needed supplies
had arrived and he promptly re-
ported to the Hospital where DR..
William p Blanton took the pint
of blood needed.
Other voluntary donors are now
asked to help build up sufficient
supply of blood plasma to take care
of any emergency transfusions
which may be needed. The plasma
will then be used in transfusions
without charge to the patients, and
emergency caches of the life-giving
plasma will be kept in the city of
Juneau in case of air raids or other
emergencies.
Anyone who is willing to do his
part toward building up the bank
is asked to call the Hospital to make
an appointment. The process of CIV
ing the blood takes only about half
an hour and in not harmful to any
normal person.
Juneau physicians will donate
their services for the taking of the
donations and all the work will
be done at the Hospital
Those who desire to give dona-
lions for the bank may have their
blood typed first at the Laboratories
in the Juneau Public Health Center.

Gradually the farm bloc in Con-

weather service was faring under
Army rule-and the Army didn't
like the way the signal corps was
forgetting all about signalling. So
in 1890 the service was transferred
to the Department of Agriculture,
where it remained until 1910, when
the Importance of its work to avi-

the Department OF Commerce.

EXTEND CLEANUP
week TO MAY s;
SUPPORT URGED

Representatives of five Juneau
public organizations met this morn
ing and pledged their aid to assist
the city in stimulating interest in
Juneaus Cleanup Week, a drive to
polish up the city for better health,
safety, and beauty.
The representatives are Dan
Ralston, Rotary Club; Mrs. Ray
Day, Garden Club; Mrs. r. B. Lesh-
er, Womans Club; w. C. Kennel,
Boy Scouts, and B. F.. Heintzleman,
Chamber OF Commerce.
In urging greater public support
for the campaign which now is in
progress and will be extended
through and including next We'd
nesday. May 6, the representatives
called attention especially to the
great value of thorough town
cleanup as precaution against the
start and spread of accidental or in
cendiary fires, and as protective
measure with relation to public
health. These values are, of course,
in addition to the Importance Uf
improving the appearance of the
city as a whole.
Remove Fire Hazard
I'm times like these" statement
issued by the committee stressed,
mo city can afford to take chances
on having large fires or serious
epidemics.
Regarding fires, we all know that
materials, equipment and labor now
are practically unavailable for re-
building on a large scale, and that
stocks of merchandise are hard to
replenish. It will be recalled, too,
that epidemics grow in frequency
in war times when thousands of
people are on the move 1t is i'm
perative to eliminate or prevent any
unsanitary conditions in Juneau
that foster the spread of disease. y
The committee stated that num-
erous visitors will be seeing the city
for the first time this summer, and
that it is important that these visi-
tors, whether in khaki uniforms or
not, be favorably impressed.
Clean Your Yards
Residents are urged to clean front
and back yards, vacant lots, streets,
alleys and the waterfront of old
papers, cartons, brush and weeds,
broken down wooden walks and
fences, old lumber, garbage, dis
carded household articles, junk
autos and other trash.
The city will send trucks to pick
up all of the junk one may deposit
on the curbs in front of properties
from now through May 6. Origin
ally the campaign was scheduled to
end Saturday, but the lack of inter-
est shown at the start has necessi-
tated this extension.
