Evening star., 1944-02-27
What Is SULFA?

SULFA, in the form Of powder, resembles
ordinary baking soda. But its harmless APP
pearance should fool no one, for it is giant
in action. Taken orally, it streaks through
the blood stream unerringly for infected
wound areas and promptly and surely puts
halt to the spread of the infection.
You can understand how important this
action is when you realize that in World War l
about $50 of all wound deaths were caused
by infection or common blood poisoning.
Once this infection started, the chances of
living were slim. Frequently, the amputation
Of a limb was the only way to avoid death
and even that drastic measure often failed.
Today, SULFA is saving our boys lives
and limbs by thwarting wound infection be-
fore it can kill or cripple. Because of their
strict training in self-treatment of SULFA,
wounded men who once would have reached
hospital in hopeless condition now are
brought in, even 48 hours after being hit,
capable of complete and quick recovery. In
the horror of war, there are some bright
things. SULFA for one, certainly.

RED CROSS
SHIPS GOODS

The Big Horn County chapter
of the American Red Cross has
made its June Shipment to ma
tional headquarters. The work
sent out included IS knitted ar
ticles, 267 sewed articles and
305 kit bags.
During the last two and a
half months, women spent a to-
tai of 1856 hours cutting, sewing
and doing other work in the
production room.
Mrs. L. c. Linthacum, produc-
ton chairman, expressed her
appreciation and that of the
chapter to the women of the
Sarpy country who made and
paid for "a bed shirts and five
robes, as well as finishing 21O
other articles. She also thanked
Mrs. Ben Nelson and the group
of women from the Church of
the Open Bible who worked one
day each week instead of once
a month.
The production room will be
open only from 2:30 until 4 pm.
for the rest of the summer.
It was suggested that, since
there will be no more cutting
this summer, Women who have
been cutting might devote the
time to sewing instead.

MORE HOUSEWIVES
WILL, CAN FOODS

Three out of four women ex-
pect to can fruit and vegetab-
les at home this season, ac-
cording to a nation wide sur
vey reported by the owl.
Canned peas, tomatoes and
asparagus were restored to ra-
tioning by OPA after supplies
on hand had sold rapidly, max
ing room for the new pack. Civ
ilian supplies of peas, tomatoes
and asparagus are expected to
be 20 per cent smaller during
the current pack year than dur
ing the pack year ended July /.
To help pack the current fruit
and vegetable crop, zoe, 900 full
time or 100000 part-time work
ers must be recruited, the War
Manpower commission says. Be-
cause of the dependency of over
seas service men on canned
fruits and vegetables it is i'm
perative that these foods be
made available to them.

ASK VOLUNTEERS
TO AID MARINES

All persons having any past
connection or present interest
in the Marine corps who would
be willing to contribute some of
their time to assist discharged
Marines to complete civilian re-
adjustment at the local level
are asked to call or write the
local Selective Service board
and give the clerks their names
and addresses as soon as pos
sible.
The names must be in not
later than July "a.
The Marine corps has asked
that local board clerks cooper
ate in helping the discharged
Marines to readjust. They have
been asked to compile lists of
all those who, because of pre-
vious or present association with
the corps would be particularly
interested in helping discharged
Marines to solve their personal
or economic problems.
It was suggested that those
who would be of greatest help
to the organization are Marines
of World War I or who served
prior to World War II, parents
with sons or daughters now SER
wing in the corps or others
whose associations give them a
particular interest n the Marine
corps.
