Lions Enjoy Fine
Address on Lincoln

A new and different theme OF
Abraham Lincoln was presented to
members of the Libby Lions club
Monday might following the regu-
lar meeting of the club in the Pres
hyterian club rooms In discours-
ing upon Lincoln, Supt A. A. Wood

Although the American Legion

organizations, such as the Lions
Club, Of backing up and cncour-
ing them. He also pointed out the
ideal location of this region for the
practice of Scouting. The troop here
is just starting, but Rev. Shotwell
expressed the opinion that he is
confident that it is going to be a
very good troop, and will prove
itself worthy of civic support

Gives Facts
About Alaska
Highway

Our attention has been called to
an article in the magazine, Motor
Transportation entitled the Alas
ka Highway Continues in Use The
article was written by Major Free
man C. Bishop of the U. S. Army,
who has been connected with the
project since its inception. He says
great deal of misinformation has
been printed concerning the high
way and sets out to correct some
of it.
Major Freemna says that since
the war against the japanese has
moved westward in the Pacific, the
highway is no longer of great stra-
tegic importance, but as connect
ing link it is considered extremely
important. According to agree
ment, the United States must main
tain the Alaska highway until six
months after hostilities have ceased.
That portion of it in Canada-l200
miles--is being maintained by two
thirds Canadian and one-third U. S.
labor, all of it civilian. Major Free
man further says:
What is amazing to us is that no
body seems to realize that the
Alaska Highway runs through diff
ferent types of country and differ
ent types of climate, all of them
cold, of course. The area from Daw-
son Creek to Fort Nelson, b. c., and
old Hudson Bay trading post on the
MuskWa River, is not particularly
picturesque, in fact. is quite similar
to the Peace River region which is
northern prairie land approaching
the rolling foothills of the Rockies.
From Fort Nelson to Watson
Lake, Y T., is distance approx
mately $40 miles, The country is ex-
tremely picturesque, the road wind
ing in and out of the benches of the
Rockies, finally crossing the Con-
tinental Divide at about 1000 feet.
From Watson Lake into Whltehorse,
another stretch of $50 miles. the
Highway follows, approxi-
the head waters of the
LeWes River, which is one of the
main branches of the Yukon. Join
ing the Yukon near Dawson City.
This Yukon watershed is ex-
tremely lovely and makes very
easy road. North of Whitehorse, the
Alaska Highway runs through seen
cry unsurpassed in the world, and
eventually arrives at Fairbanks,
600 miles north of Whitehorse, Join
ing the Richardson Highway IS
miles southeast Of Fairbanks.
All travel over roads in the north
country is stopped for brief periods
in the spring and in the fall while
the freezing and thaWing process is
going on, in order not to break up
the road bed. This is common
practice in Canada and Alaska and
is not practice started by the U.
S. Engineers on the Alaska High
way

al chairman.
The 1914 record represents an av-
erage of 10 pints of blood minute
day and night throughout the year
and brings to l1,024,0l5 pints the
total amount procured since the in
ception of the project in February,
1941, Mr.. O'Connor stated He said
that the Army and Navy have re-
quested the Red Cross to continue
procurement in l945 at the present
rate of 100000 pints a year
In reviewing the accomplish
ments of the service, Mr.. OConnor
said that the outstanding develop
ment of the past year was the in
auguration of the whole blood
program. Five centers on the east
coast and five on the west are sup
plying both whole blood and plas-
ma. The whole blood is flown daily
to Europe by the Army Air Trans
port Command, and to the Pacific
by the Naval Air Transport Serv-
ice. 1t supplements the use of plas-
ma, which has been widely hailed
as the foremost lifesaver of the
war
Mr.. O'Connor emphasized that
the whole blood quotas as well as
the plasma quotas are being met.
I point this out especially be-
cause some confusion has resulted
from reports that servicemen over
seas are donating their blood. 1t is
true that military personnel over
seas donate their blood for those
wounded in battle but this does not
mean that shipments from this
country are behind schedule. The.
fact that whole blood is highly per-
ishable and it is impossible for the
armed forces to tell exactly how
much they will need from day to
day. If they find that they need
more than anticipated, or if the
need in their particular theater or
sector can be supplied locally, they
call on servicemen. This is a per-
fectly logical practice which dated
back to the first World War and no
mother or father should be con-
cerned to hear that the men over
seas are donating blood. They are
eager to do it and it does rot mean
that the people in this country are
falling down on the job.
THE Army and Navy estimate
their requirement and make con-
tracts with biological laboratories
which are equipped to process the
blood into plasma The Red Cross
then sets up collection facilities to
keep the laboratories supplied to
Since blood is perish
able and must be processed within
approximately "a hours after it is
withdrawn, and since the laborator-
les can handle only a certain
amount of blood each week, the
centers and their mobile units are
located as near the processing lab
oratories as possible and operate
on strict quota basis. Accordingly.
production greatly in excess of the
weekly quotas must be avoided. 1t
would not be feasible, therefore, to
add additional centers or mobile
units or to extend the scope of
mobile unit operations, as long as
the present ones keep the labora-
tories, and consequently the armed
forces, fully supplied

WASHINGTON. Feb. %. (UP)-
Rations of sugar for the home can
ming this year will be smaller and
will be harder to get, the Office CT
Price Administration has revealed.
Under a drastically curtailed ra-
tioning program, 20 pounds will be
the limit of the canning allowance
for one person. Any one family will
be held to l60 pounds of canning
sugar.
No raticn stamps will be validated
for canning sugar. All allotments
will be made directly by local ra-
ton boards. Rations will be deter
mined according to an OPA scale
of estimates, with a limit of one
pound of sugar fer each four quarts
of fruit or fruit juices.
Major reason for curtailing this
years program, Price Administrator
Chester Bowles said, is that sugar
stocks are the lowest they have
been for any February since the
war began. The loose rationing
system which prevailed last year
resulted in an over-usage of 100000
