Over The Airwavs
By BEN mcdonald

The romance of railroading in
this section of the country, past
and present, takes the radio spot
on the STAR-NEWSREEL over
WMFD, Ills p. M, today. An
other highlight in the STAR-NEWS
radio series, Adventures in South
eastern North Carolina. ''Today's
S A RIM E WSREEL broadcast
traces the highballing of the iron
horse from the days when it was
a "new-fangled" invention through
its rise to one of the 9 potent
factors in the progress of the ma
ton. The story of railroading in
Southeastern North Carolina is
fraught with moments of drama
and plain downright human inter
est. 1t would take many programs
of 10 minutes each to tell the full
story; therefore the STAR-NEWS-
REEL script will be confined to
the recording of items of para
mount interest to the people of
this area. So today at IFS p. M,
the signal is down, the green light
IS on and the board is open as the
streamlined version of the iron
horse comes to light on the STAR
NEWSREEL.
Also
In addition to the "quickie''
dramatization of the railroads the
S~TAR-NEWSREEL will present
news of interest happening right
up to broadcast time. But hold on
there is still more, Oh, yes-there
is-after all, today is Fathers day
and certainly he deserves his share
of the spotlight-and he gets it on
the S~TAR-NEWSREEL. A special
Fathers day editorial has been
written in his honor and it all
forms part of the STAR-NEWS
Sunday radio program. So make
it a point to be around the radio
at lis p. m, twisting the dial to
WMFD.
Just a Word
I have just had a report from
WMFDA that the response to the

and needed by-products, valued In
the millions are being wasted"
THE honest merchant has the
choice of going black or going
broke" Holmes declared, adding,
Black m%arketeers will be driven
out of business only when all price
and related controls, including sub
sides, are removed from the live
stock and meat business"
In discussing labor relations,
Holmes, emphasized the import
ance of genuine collective bargain.
ing To be successful, he pointed
out, collective bargaining must
have responsible people on both
sides of the bargaining table.
THE only effective ways to halt
present inflationary trends are to
balance the Federal budget at the
earliest possible date and to stimu-
late the production of goods that
people want by returning to the
principle of free competitive pric-
ing" Holmes concluded.

Blood Plaslna
Received Here

The lives of several people in
this district have probably been
saved by blood plasma given with
out charge by the American Red
Cross, DR.. Arthur L. Ringle, state
Director of Health said today.
A total of IA units of plasma
have been received for use in this
district since the Red Cross began
its program of returning surplus
plasma intended for the armed
forces last March. a..
This plasma represents div
idend on the generous donations
of blood given to the Red Cross
during war time" DIR. Ringle said.
AT the end of the war, the Army
and Navy were able to declare
enough plasma surplus to provide
about two years supply for civ
ilian USE" s.@-' +. -.
This pl m s distributed
throughout Washington by the
State Health department, DR.. Rim
gle explained. Distribution in this
district, which includes Benton and
Franklin counties, is directed by
DR.. c. Tudor, health officer. No
charge is made for either the plaS-
ma or shipping costs, although
there may be a fee for profession
al services in administering it.
"The dried blood plasma in no
way diminishes the need for reg
ular blood donor centers. Whole
blood, rather than plasma, is re-
quired in three transfusions out
of four" the health director said.
1.-THE blood banks now set up not
only assures a good supply Of
whole blood, but will be the source
of more plasma when the surplus
stocks are exhausted"
The State Health department
has received and distributed a to-
tai of 678O plasma units from the
American Red Cross, and replen-
ishes stocks at any distribution
center on request.
