Red Cross Blood Bank
 At Bradley Dec. 10th

The Hartford Mobile Blood Bank Unit and the Mobile Canteen of the American Red Cross are scheduled for visit to Bradley Field, Friday, 10 December 1943 from 1000 hrs. to 1700 hrs. in the Base Recreation Hall.
 One of the greatest and finest services we can offer our country and the boys who are in the thick of action is to donate that small pint of "claret" that we actually miss so little, but which means so immeasurably much in saving the lives of so many boys who might otherwise be unable to enjoy the experience of coming home.
 American Red Cross Field Di- rector, Mir. H. B. Haviland, ex- presses confidence that full three hundred donors will present them selves at the Recreation Hall to give their pints and thus prove that we here at Bradley Field are good for every drop of the Banks capa- city for one day. The last two visits of the Blood Bank proved some what discouraging in terms of the number of donors that appeared. It, therefore, becomes matter of pride that Bradley Field should not "fiub up" this visit. Telephone Field Director Haviland at your earliest opportunity (but make it before December 5, if possible) and get your name on the donors list for December 10. Arrangements will be made to handle donors either as individuals or as organizations.
 Here are few tips. Anyone in good health between twenty-one and sixty,weighing one hundred ten pounds or more may donate. Those between eighteen and twenty-one may donate, with written consent of a parent or guardian. Donating is painless and has no harmful aft CT effects. The body quickly re- stores the blood given. However,
Bradley beam., 1943-11-27

or public personalities, you have a fair and equal chance with everyone of your buddies in these additions.
 Even if your routine is not radio material, by all means register for an addition. Your act has as much chance as any of the others to win one of the several cash prizes of fered.
 These additions are open to all enlisted men and women. Those who were professional entertainers in civilian life are also eligible since there are no professional en- tertainers in uniform.
 For your addition, come in per son to the Special Service Office To- cated in the Recreation Hall or phone Ext. 205 any time before Tuesday, November 30. Your audi tion can be arranged for any night convenient to you.
Bradley beam., 1943-11-27

for the protection of donors, no one is accepted oftener than every eight weeks and only five donations are permitted in one year.
 IMPORTANT-It is very neces- sary that donors do not eat fer three and a half to four hours be- fore donating. If this rule is not followed there is a likelihood that the plasma cannot be used.
 Plenty of fruit juices, sandwiches and coffee will be provided imme- diately following each donation to aid the system in rapidly returning to it's normal balance. LET'S GO! Telephone MT. Haviland, Base ex- tension 445, or, if you care to write, address him c/o The Office of Field Director, American Red Cross, Bradley Field, Connecticut. You can only fight the war from one point. Your blood can go to war on any front.

commission and has been stationed various times at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., Fort Devens, Mass, and Fort Williams, Maine. In the summers of 1929 and 1880, he attended the Anti Aircraft Machine Gun School at the Underhill Range near Fort Ethan Allen, and wildly remembers how they practiced with machine guns, using wedding ring for one sight and a piston ring for the oth- CT. In 1882 he was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant and in June, 1941, he was promoted to Captain.
 He reported to Bradley Field for active duty in September, 1941, as Captain and received his major ity on August 8, 1942. The Major then attended the Administrative Inspectors School at Fort Logan, Colorado and was graduated in September, 1942.
 Major London was, for five years a member of the Vermont State Council of Boy Scouts; past Chan cellor of the Knights of Pythias, at Burlington, Vermont; past Presi- dent of the Northern Vermont Re- serve Officers Association and Sec retary and Treasurer of the State Reserve Officers Association.
 The Major and Mrs. Yetta G. London reside at "A Deerfeld Ave nue in Hartford. They have three children, Marshall, Jack and Betty Lou.

PLANES NEED
 BRAINS TO FLY

When the Wright brothers were first heard of, pilot had to be both a mechanical genius and a magician. Now, 40 years later, science has put practically every thing into an airplane except a mind.
 That is where you fit into the picture. That is why you have personal obligation to obey every flight regulation and follow every instruction you have ever. learned. That is why carelessness is pay ment in American life to MT. Schicklegruber.
 Although carelessness is every one's concern, you should regard it solved by you, personally. Careless ness is mental attitude wrong attitude. It can therefore, be correct ed simply by your will to correct it. Forethought and air thinking can become as much second nature as brushing your teeth III the morn- ing. "== <: .= f.
 The moment you climb into the cockpit your ship becomes per sonality-your personality. And whether at the end of your train ing period you have a smooth air personality will depend upon your constant effort to lick sloppy fly ing. -.+..--...-~-"
 Failure to check your gas tank before take off, failure to know the hourly gas consumption of your plane, failure to look out for other air traffic, are all human failures.
 And so far, there is no "UR" for human failure.

Allotment Increase
 For Service Men

Families of Bradley men will re- eeive additional money now that the new Servicemen's Dependency Bill has become law, but they won't receive it immediately. Conversion of more than 3,0O0,0 ,00O accounts from the old forms to the new ones IS tremendous task, and accord ing to a War Department release it will take time.
 First, dependents will be mailed a single sheet certificate form which requests all the information needed to convert accounts to the new rates. These forms should be completed immediately so that pay ment at the new rates may be ex- pedited In the meantime depen- dents will receive benefit checks at the old rates.
 The new scale does not change the $50 payment a wife now re- ceives, but for a child the payment is increased from $62 to $80 a month and each additional child receives s20 extra per month in- stead of $10. A parent dependency for chief portion of support will now receive $50 a month, an in- crease of SIS.
 Following is a comparison of the old and new laws:

critics which are already under
the way of adjustment and will
certainly get worse within the
next few months.
A few years ago the medical
profession was sufficient in num-
bers TO go around to everybody.
There were specialists Of all kinds
in fact, more than enough OF
them. Today certain specialties
which must continuously be avail
able to men in the armed forces
are represented in our civilian
communities by less than a Skele-
ton force of practitioners.
This is particularly true Of or
thopedic surgery, eye surgery and
general surgery. But the chief
problem in civilian work today is
TO supply general medical care.
The general practitioner, who did
the routine work. has been harder
hit than men in any other branch.
Shortage Serious
For comparative purposes cite
report from a certain Massa-
chusetts town which before the
war had 81 general practitioners
of whom 80 are now in military
service. Compare this to the num-
Der Of general surgeons, 81 before
the war - Of whom 3 went into
military service - and it will be
seen that the problem of general
medical care is r pressing one.
About so per cent of the house
calls made before the war were
handled by the group that has
gone into service.
In view of the gasoline and rub
Der situations, it is evident that
there will have to be organized in
most communities some sort of
cooperative planning for medical
service. In this campaign the pa
tient must be as considerate as
the doctor; the doctors time must
be conserved and house calls kept
ut a minimum. The doctors day
is planned in the morning and
when possible. house calls should
be received before s a. m.
Indications Of Urgency
Such vague directions as do
not call the doctor except when
necessary" often miss the mark.
Certain definite indications that
the situation is urgent should be
known to the public. For example
pain in the chest and bloody spu-
tum are important; abnormal
bloody discharge from any part
of the body is urgent; abdominal
pain lasting more than = few
hours is urgent
