The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-03-17

Republicans joined Democrats in
applauding Lieutenant-Co Colonel Elliott
Roosevelts protest against congressional
attacks upon the war records Of the Pres
idents four sons That Is as 1t should be-.
The Roosevelt boys got their commits
sions easier than other young men who
have no powerful association. They have
advanced fast. But the time for criticiz-
ing that has long since passed. So far
as can be learned they have made excel
lent fighting men, and have not been
spared any Of the rigors OF war because
Of their identities. Il may well be that
they have been pushed around a bit
extra.
Let's lay off the young Roosevelts, as
soldiers. When they doff their uniforms,
we can put them back on the civilian pan
Il we choose. But this Is no time for
petty politics, partisan or otherwise.

A NEW USE FOR BLOOD
New York Times)


Blood will tell, according to a
llcmely saying. II has been tell
ing some exciting stories Of SOL
diers and sailors in North Africa
and the Pacific who were snatched
from the jaws Of death With plasma
collected by the Red Cross from
generous blood donors all over the
country. And now 1t tells still
another story In the form Of a
communication which comes from
Drs. John T. Moorhead and Lester
j. Unger of the New York Post
Graduate Hospital and which APP
pears In the American Journal OF
Surgery a story Of red cells which
are applied to burns, wounds and
ulcers with results that must thrill
even the most conservative physi-
clan.
Hitherto these red cells have beer
thrown away when blood was col.
lected from a patriotic donor. There
was simply no use for them. Since
about half Of the blood given By
a donor Is composed Of these red
cells, the waste was something t.
be deplored. In a moment Of di-
vination 1t occurred to DR.. Moore
head that possibly the red cell
might serve q useful purpose as q
wound dressing. DR.. Unger ane

We are being warned every day that
there Is likely TO be a spread OF disease
when the postwar era arrives; IN oil
probability this condition may become
alarming during 1043. With our armed
forces spread over so wide territory and
located in so many areas II Is not posi-
BILE to encounter the danger OF disease
carriers. From the tropical countries the
dread disease malaria comes, difficult
thing to handle. Also probable Is an in
fluenza epidemic. With better ways OF
handling these situations and every pre-
caution taken the health problems Will
be met as we'll as could be expected, but
1t Is not too early to be prepared for all
such emergencies that may endanger the
general health.

when the usual agencies act either
too slowly or not at all. Though
the number Of cases thus far treat
ed Is small, there can be little doubt
OF the efficacy OF this new tech
nique. Blood donors will have the
added satisfaction Of knowing that
not only their plasma but their red
cells will play part in succoring
the wounded.
Why the cells should speed the
healing process is still a mystery
Blood contains so many complex
organic chemical compounds that
one Of Of them may well have a
specific effect. A new field Of in
vestigation has been opened In

These little boys are now the

Christmas there was previous little

First Of all, the simple and beauti-

May the day speedily come when
nations all over the world can again

this war stamp out forever a phil
osophy which exalts force and
teaches men to hate their fellows.

MUSHROOM GROWTH
FOR INDUSTR:

This wholesale business has grown
almost from scratch TO a total an
nual production OF over 200 million
pounds year, since the start OF
the war. There were q few vegc.
table drierS In business during the
last war, but after the war their
business fell of 10 nothing, They
kept OH experimenting, however
and though their products during
the intervening 20 years met with
pretty complete consumer indiffer.
ence, they were ready with improv-
ed processes when the shipping
shortages Of the present war Gre
ated tremendous demand for
everything they could turn out,
One big advantage Of the new In
dustry Is that II permits year round
operation OF the plant, instead of a
mere short season operation COM
mon In most canneries. Since all
the equipment Is basically the same,
conversion OF q dehydrator from
handling one product TO another is
In most cases a matter Of only
hours.
In this way, a Minnesota cream.
cry association switches It's sprays
from the production of dry skim
milk to egg powder and back again,
several times a week. In tunnel dry
ing, the dehydrators can shift from
one fruit and vegetable to another
as the various crops ripen.
Neatest trick of this whole con-
version business has been performed
by one Massachusetts, company
which packs fish In winter, vegeta-
bles In summer with elaborate
precautions to keep the fish taste
out Of the vegetables.
