Blood PIosmo
Saves Lives

Lynn. Massive veterans recently re-
turned from the South Pacific told members
of the CIO United Electrical, Radio & Ma
chine Workers employed at the General
Electric River Works here, how important
blood plasma is in saving the lives Of
wounded soldiers.
The two service men who spoke at the
first of series of rallies sponsored by the
acknowledgement Committee to speed
up blood donations were Staff Sgt. Charles
Kelly, who had 300 square inches of skin
burned off in the battle of Midway, and
Capt. w. H. Whorf who spent more than
four months at Guadalcanal
Sgt. Kelly credits the fact that he is
alive to the blood plasma he received, and
Capt. Whorf said that many young Marines
at Guadalcanal who were badly burned owe
their lives to blood injections.

Main point in CLOS postwar program,

John Hancock to FDR, is always full
employment for all Americans, which Of

AS CLIO points out. the U. s. has achieved
