every stable military establishment

recreation and social service workers
are located in Army and Naval
hospitals.
One of the most important and
necessary wartime Red Cross func.
tions has been the collection OF human
blood for plasma. Thirty-fve blood
donor stations are now operating.
The dramatic story of the Red Cross
Blood Donor Service. through which
thousands of soldiers and sailors have
been saved from death. began In Feb
ruary, 1871. when the Surgeons Gen.
eral Of the Army and Navy asked the
Red Cross to procure $4,000 pints of
blood. Last year more than 3,7O0, 900
pints OF blood were collected for the
Army and Navy. This year the goal is
more than 100000 pints.
With major battles of the war ye,
to come. the Army has asked the Red
Cross to supply many millions OF sur
gical dressings. American men wounded
in battle will depend acutely on the
vast Red Cross surgical dressing pro-
duction program.
Numerous other Red Cross home
operations, such as Prisoners Of War
packasing centers, where more than
million parcels for war prisoners
are prepared each month for shipment
overseas. are supported by citizen.
participation in the Red Cross War
Fund.
So extensive is Red Cross service
during this war that every American
civilian can contribute something to
at least one OF its functions. To con.
tinue this gigantic work. all Americans
must assume their share of the re.
sponsibility OF carrying on this far
reaching service.
The s2GO.0OO.OOo quota will enable
Red Cross to alleviate suffering and
pain at home and abroad. and to carry
on its vast military welfare service.

Information For
Postwar Sought
By Local Group

Questionnaires in behalf o f
postwar planning will be mailed
by Clayton Potter. chairman of
the local group of the Glacier
County Committee For Economic
Planning, early next week, he
said.
T h questionnaires concern
business establishments of t b e
community. and aim to serve ma
tional groups in affording them
an approximate picture of the
postwar situation.
Questions, Potter said. should
be answered with all possible ac-
curacy, or at least be based upon
each establishments realistic at
titude of the future.
In the shift from a wartime to
a peacetime basis, Potter said,
the nations economic structure
will be on trial.
The essence of the question.
naire. he explained. is its quest
to afford m aximum employment,
both for persons in the armed
forces and those engaged in war
plant and other activities of the
war.

Congressman Hairless took the
same stand as Bowman in his re-
marks defending Hayden's record.
Hayden was not present. He is to
speak here next Tuesday night.
Hairless, who made very fine
talk, told of the necessity of ration

to help our boys win the war, and
said, "Our great President will only
succeed in translating the travail of
this war into a just and durable
peace to the extent to which he is
backed up by a united Democratic

He told of the wonderful record of
the Democratic administration and
declared President Roosevelt would
be reelected on Nov. 7th for fourth

Fickett's remarks were largely a
denunciation of the New Deal, the
kind of speech you would expect
from a rabid Republican, such as
Pickett has been for many years.
