Three Tons Magazines, 1901 0 Packs
OF Cigarettes Go To Saipan Island

Marianas-Logistics the prob
lem of supply, has just about first
priority in any Pacific assault
operation. Comfort articles, of
necessity, must take second place
to weapons, ammunition and
food for the fighting forces.
In the early days of an opera
ton the services can give only
scant attention to those things
which are necessities to civilians,
but often luxuries to the soldier
on campaign. They do, however,
delegate the responsibility of do
ing the best job possible in dis
tribution of comfort goods to an
other agency-The American Red
Cross.
An idea of the amount of val
liable shipping space the service
allots for the comfort of their men
may be gained from figures on
Red Cross distribution in the first
sixty days of the Saipan opera
ton. Twelve field workers at
tached to the assault divisions
were landed on Saipan beaches,
d. to D-3, followed by IL more
before the island was secured.
Ten more had reached the island
before D-60.
On front lines, in field hospitals
and bivouac areas these field
workers, under the direction of
Joseph M. Mjolsness of Great
Falls, Mont, field supervisor, and
Eldon r. Hubner of Memo, South
Dakota, field director, distributed
such tremendous quantities of
supplies as:
Three tons of magazines; $4,000
paper-covered books; 5000 news
papers brought in from Oahu,
100000 packages of cigarettes;
10000 bars of tropical chocolates;
10000 tooth brushes; 200, 600
sheets of writing paper; 100, 900
envelopes; $4,000 V-mail blanks;
10000 packs of playing cards;
10000 packages of gum; 20 ra-
dos, five electric record players,
two portable monographs and 800
records.
In addition to these items, com
parable quantities of many others,
such as combs, tubes of tooth
paste and shaving cream. bars of
soap, wash cloths and towels also
were distributed.

furnished without cost to the sol

HOME NURSE
BY Iona L. TROTT
Assistant Director,
Red Cross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service

A hot water bag is such a COM
mon piece of household equip
ment that people in general have
grown careless in its use and ac-
cjdents not infrequently happen.
An elderly woman of my ac-
Quaintance had difficulty in
keeping her feet warm at night.
A hot water bag had become her
nightly bedfellow in cold wealth
er. Her family did not realize
that the condition that caused
her cold feet had also caused
loss of feeling In her extremities.
For this reason 1t was necessary
for her to have the bag very hot
in order for her to feel it at all.
This resulted in a bad burn
which almost cost her a foot and
which kept her in wheel chair
for months.
AGED BURN EASILY
A hot water bag should be
filled and applied with great
caution. First be sure that the
bag has no leaks and that the
washer fits the neck closely.
Never fill the bag directly from
the teakettle or hot water faucet.
1t Is easy to misjudge the tenn
perature of the water In doing
this. Put the water first in a
pitcher and test IL by dropping a
little on the inner surface of the
arm. 1t should feel good and hot,
but not hot enough to burn.
Fill the bag about one-half or
two-thirds full of water. Expel
tine air by resting the bag on the
table until the water appears at
the mouth of the bottle. Screw
in the stopper firmly. Turn the
bag upside down to see II il
leaks. Wipe the bottle dry and
put 1t in towel and pin 1t Sec
urely with safety pins.
Never place an unwrapped hot
water bag in a patients bed, ev~
en- though you think he is re-
sponsible enough to know II the
bag Is too hot. Remember that
aged or paralyzed patients burn
very easily without being aware

became scare and hard to find,
they were bought on the Black
Market for 10000 france (S800)
a head. Before the war, the
Army was the main provider
and a horse then cost 600 francs
(S12). In normal times a horse
could be recKoned on for six to
seven quarts Of blood every 10
days. During the occupation, in
order to keep them in good con-
dition, they had to be given a
double ration of hay and oats.
These also had to be bought on
on the Black Market.
SAVED MANY LIVES
Chiselling, fooling the Ger
mans, dealing in the Black Mar
ket-all this had to be done in
order to secure and care for the
chickens, rabbits, pigs, sheep,
birds, oxen, snakes, mice and
guinea pigs needed for the pro-
duction of the ID serums and
their 35 varieties as well as the
seven single, double and triple
,vaccines made by the Pasteur
Institute. No subsidy was asked
for and the price of the serums
was never increased.
To keep up their supply the
Institute used every month 5000
mice and guinea pigs each, plus
1000 rabbits. The stables had to
hold no less than 800 horses. In
case the water supply ran short
an old disused we'll in the court
yard was restored. Old machin-
cry for producing power and
current was repaired for use on
days when the electricity supply
was curtailed or completely cut
down.
1t is no wonder that today the
Pasteur Institute stands high in
the estimation of all French
people. 1t held out through the
most difficult times and saved
thousands of lives, thanks to the
high sense of devotion and pa
triotism of each of its members
down to its most humble help
ers.

The CASE AGAINST DOENITZ

Without being conversont with the Legal niceties
by which war criminals defined, we agree with
the National Maritime Union that Grand Admiral
Karl Doenitz should be included among them.
As commander in chief Of defeated enemy,
Doentz apparently would not be tried for war Crimes
But he assumed that rank as HitIers successor, in
the closing days Of the war; Before that he was in
command Of the Nozi U-boots.
1t was Doentz wo scorned humanity as weak
and ordered his crews to mochne gun survivors
Of torpedoed ships. Because Of this utter disregard
of the civilized rules which mitigate the uncviIized
practise Of war, most Of the 900 United Nations
seonen who died in the war against Germany lost
their lives needIessly
In consequence, the NMU hos osked the War
Crimes Commission that Doentz be tried with the
other Nozi war criminals. We think thot the union
hos good cose.

SAN FRANCISCO - Neatest
trick which the Soviet delega-

St. Francis Hotel, where they got
possession of a private kitchen
and dining room up on the
twelfth floor, which Is French
headquarters, together with a
private elevator connecting with
the tenth floor, which is Rus
sian headquarters. Funniest an
gle on the whole business is that
the French didn't know any
thing about it, although the Pro-

now looks on Soviet Russia as
its strongest ally and closest
friend.

PARIS-There is one organi-
zation in Paris which, despite
the almost insurmountable diff
culties inherent to four years of
enemy occupation, today can
declare with justifiable pride:
I'VE have need of nothing
This is the famous Pas
teur Institute.
The tale Of its struggl S
against restrictions and short
ages, plus the necessity of carry
ing on its work secretly, in de-
fiance of the Nazis, reads like
an epic.
For months before D-Day, ac-
cording to Director Monsieur
Trefouel, the Institute, on its
own initiative and without any
official help or guidance, decid-
ed to place in hiding stores Of
vaccines and serums in anticipa-
ton Of epidemics which almost
automatically follow in the
wake of war. This work had to
be carried on surreptitiously.
The precious phials were placed
in caches" all over the country,
but especially along the coasts.
SECRET LABORATORY
For four long years not only
did the Institute manage to keep
going in spite of the Germans
systematic refusal of every APP
plication and the impossibility
of obtaining from the French
authorities any increase in the
supply of raw material, but it
succeeded in exceeding its pre-
war production.
The manufacture of 103cm
phials for mass anti-diphtheria
and anti-tetanus inoculation in
creased from 12,600 in 1888 to
1,359,000 in 1912. Diphtheria
toxin production jumped from
418O quarts in 1882 to $4,000 in
1944. This increase, incidental
ly, was maintained for nearly
all other serumS and vaccines.
This alone, declared the direc-
tor, bordered on the miraculous.
The Pasteur Institutes deter
mination to step up its peace
time production was motivated
by the steady rise in demand.
AS the war dragged on the num-
Der of sick people steadily rose,
mainly owing to undernourish-
ment. Compulsory vaccinations
and the occasional panics which
led people to hoard medical sup
plies did the rest. From time to
time there was considerable diff

of the public.

they wanted to take over the
