Your Health
Hemorrhagic Ailments
Need to be Diagnosed
For Proper Treatment


For Proper Treatment
BY HERMAN y. ~ SDESEN. NJ. +
HEMORRHAGIC or bleeding
diseases refer TO those disorders IN
which loss of blood occurs because
of a lack Of one or more Of the sub
stances needed for blood-clotting.
One form of bleeding, known as
purpurah, occurs because the walls
of the blood vessels allow blood to
seep through into the tissues.
The checking of bleeding is
known as hemostasis. Hemostasis
depends upon normal action of the
walls of the blood vessels and OF
the coagulating or clothing mocha
nisnn Of the blood. OF course, bleed
ing will not start unless a blood
vessel wall is injured. When there
is a defect in the CLOTHING, even
tiny injury may result in a severe
or even fatal loss of blood.
When abnormal bleeding occurs,
the first thing to do is to test the
clothing time of the blood, that is,
TO determine how long it takes for
blood to clot. II it is found that
the blood clots too slowly, it means
that there is a deficiency of certain
of the blood elements necessary for
clothing, particularly prothrombin.
The amount of prothrombin in the
blood also can be determined. IL It
is found to be below the normal
level, it may be assumed to be the
cause of the slow clothing. In such
instances, vitamin X is admins
tered either by mouth or by inje
ton, since a deficiency of this vita
min causes a lessening of the pro-
thrombin in the blood.
Another cause for bleeding is
the blood's lack Of tiny bits Of It's
sue known as blood platelets. The
number Of the blood platelets pres
ent can be determined by counting
them under a microscope. The
condition of bleeding which is due
TO a deficiency Of blood platelets
is called acknowledgements.
If the platelets are normal, and
there is sufficient quantity OF
prothrombin present. it can be as
sumed that the bleeding is due to
the disorder known as hemophilia,
a condition which runs in families.
Just what is responsible for the
disorder is not known, but 1t Is
thought that there is deficiency
of a substance known as throm-
boplastin, which also is necessary
for the blood-clotting process.
Once the cause for the bleeding
has been determined, proper treat
ment can be carried out. In throm-
bocytopenia, removal of the spleen
is sometimes employed. Injections
Of blood into a vein are also help
full. In hemophilia, the only sue
cessful treatment available is to
use methods for checking the
bleeding should it occur. Methods
attempted for correcting hemo-
philia have not been found to be
of much help.

Second, there is no fee charged to
organizations which have been con-
tributors to the support of Gilbert

It has been my experience in
visiting and interviewing directors
OF community centers in Wayne

centers charging fees were more
successful than those that did not.

is suggested We inspect beer tav-

tion of Great Britain and Ireland and
the Associated Society of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen-are the fol-
lowing:

was singled out to be used as guinea
pig to attempt to persuade the coun-
try and the Congress that the volun-
tary system had broken down and
that compulsion must be accepted"
Declaring it's 'unshaken BELIEF
that free men are more productive
than forced labor" the committee
said:
at is convinced that the American
people are perfectly willing to put
some of their freedoms in cold stor-
age in the interest Of the war effort.
"This has been demonstrated in the
New Bedford case; but the events in
this city are also proof that free citi-
zens resent imposition of action
which they feel is tyranny"
The committee charged that the ad
vice and consultation of the New Bed
ford committee was not sought and
that the decision was made in Wash
ington "to apply the order regardless
of what the area committee thought
and in a manner contrary to VINO
regulations. This official action, arbi-
trarily applied, has caused most of
the trouble"

Unions To Offer Tour

Conference which will meet
here April 25.
At the suggestion of Local
No. 6 of the International

ers, the council is planning to

1t was pointed out that some
of the foreign delegates may be

to see them made by high-speed

and more than was used in previous
campaigns. We need supplies to equip
French troops, supplies for the Phil
ippine Army, for the Russian Army,
and for the Chinese. The supplies
provided our allies are well spent.
Their effort is heroic and they need
our help"
Says utmost Effort" Needed
Some 400 items are now in short
supply, the Army Service Forces
chief commented, adding, "only the
utmost production effort will meet
our need"
Rehabilitation of plants, utilities,
transport and farms in liberated areas
overseas adds another strain on
American labor and industry, Gen.
Somervell warned. "Even aside from
our eagerness to help our friends,
he said, 1--WE cannot have starvation
and unrest behind our fighting
fronts"
Locomotives and freight cars are
among the needed facilities sent over
seas, he explained, as well as road
and bridge building equipment and
equipment for manufacturing tires,
clothing and other necessities for
both our troops and civilian popula-
tions."
Sees Tough Job in Pacific
Even after the Germans are de-
feated. the toughest kind of assign
ment will face us, Someryell said, in
moving men and supplies from
Europe to the Pacific, altering pro-
duction programs to fit the needs of
Pacific warfare, and producing
enough to defeat the fanatically stub
born power Of the Japanese.
During this period" the general
explained, "production schedules must
be adjusted to fit shipping and train
ing schedules. Some increases will be
needed for certain items, as for ex-
ample, tropical clothing.
"We dare not fail to meet the load
placed on US. There will be a general
feeling that the game Is in its last
inning and war WEAKNESS will pro
woke criticism which will be the, re-
suit of brittle tempers, and under
standable impatience and just plain
being fed up with the whole business"
In months we now ship overseas,

mage as went to Gen. Pershing in all

this tonnage made by union men and
women entities them TO be proud of
their wartime work, he declared

TOPICS IN
THE NEWS

Our military leaders have repeated
ly told us that our battle of produc
ton will end only with the total de:
feat of Germany and Japan.
Free American labor and manage
ment are steadily winning that bat
tie, but there's still a long, hard
fight ahead.
In spite of our prodigious output
we cannot afford to relax our efforts
even for a minute.
The stupendOus quantities of
munitions expended in this glObal
war are almost beyond cOmprehen-
sion.
AS our troops advance closer and
closer to Berlin and Tokyo, their
need for more guns, planes, tanks
and ships will become greater and
greater.
The home front must continue TO
supply the fighting forces with
everything they need, whenever and
wherever they need it.
The battle of production has not
been won yet any more than either
the war against Germany or the war
against Japan has been won.
For into this battle of production
Japan prepared this week to throw
vast reinforcements.
The Japanese Cabinet has ordered
that all schools, colleges and universi-
ties in Japan be closed for one year
beginning April /.
All students who attended these
institutions will be mObilized for
the production of food and muni-
tiOns.
They will be organized also for air
raid defense and "other urgent under
takings Immediately and directly con-
cerned with the prosecution of the
war"

grade children will be exempt

youngsters while their mother was
away at work?
That is where John Blackstone's So
cial security account came in for his
family. Johns local had a social Sc
curity committee that was always on
it's toes looking out for the union
members, and it Immediately notified
the Social Security Board office Of
his death, and told Mary, Johns
widow, how important it was to file
her claim for survivors, insurance.
Johns own benefit at that time
would have been worth $36.75 a
month, SO Mary, as his widow, gets
three-fourths of that, or $27.56 a
month. Each child gets half its faith
er's benefit, or $18.37 a month. This
makes a total of $64.30 a month
which is now going regularly to this
mother and her two children.
Mary Blackstone will get her $27.50
a month until the youngest child is
Is years old. Each child will continue
to get his $18.37 month until he is
16 years old, and until 18 if he is still
in school. So the proceeds Of Johns
social security account will at least
take care of the children's education
through the grades and high school.

"We are convinced" the committee
further said, "that the lesson of the
