Word was received this week
by T. A. Busey, who several
weeks ago purchased the Brown
ing Chief, that his new Linotype
machine had been shipped from
Brooklyn, N. Y. on July 18th,

cling and improving the building

burne, in the downtown business
district, and getting settled in
the commodious apartment on
the second floor. Alterations
and improvements to the build
ing have been completed, includ-
ing the installation of a propane
gas heating system for the entire
building.
When the Linotype is in the
building, the equipment of The

That there are mountain lions

borne out by the finding of a calf

have seen a large mountain lion
and a very much smaller one,
which might indicate that a fe-

Mankind Rallies To Help Those In Disre.
Origin Of The American Red Cross Is Told

Ilieving of physical pain and the
preservation of life.
The records show that many
more casualties were saved dur
ing the last war than in World
War /. The reason was that blood
plasma was used to save the bat
tie wounded. When World War II
started or was declared December
Is, 1871 the Surgeon Generals of
the Army and Navy asked the Am
erican Red Cross to provide blood
lplasma. 1t was eighteen months be-
fore this much needed plasma was
delivered to the service men. Dur.
ing the war this organization de-
Illvered between fourteen and fiji
teen million units to the battle
fronts.
Postwar Plasms
At the conclusion of hostili-
ties there were about five million
units of plasma surplus. This was
used in stricken areas to prevent
paralysis in polio cases. Last year
the American Red Cross appro-
lpriated about seven million dollars
to provide Gamma Globulin for
polio stricken areas. Key West
benefited from this program and
several thousand women and chill.
dren were inoculated with the pre-
cious product.
When the police action started in
Korean the American Red Cross
was able to deliver blood plasma
to the battlefront within seventy
two hours. II is the responsibility
Iof the American Red Cross to pro-
vide blood in case of war or for
civilian defense. While Congress
has depended on the Red Cross to
provide blood other organizations
have become interested and are
working with the Red Cross under
the Office Of Defense Mobilization
to provide and dispose of it where
ever needed. The very life of so
many people will depend on this
most important phase of Red Cross
work. The fact that the thousands
of workers in the American Red
Cross are volunteers and that
everyone can help by being men,
bers is evidence of the humanitar-
ian spirit of the American people.

Mr.. punanf's Part
Mr.. Henry Dunant, a business
man Of Geneva, Switzerland, real.
ly brought into being the Red
Cross. He visited northern Italy
and was present at the battle of
Solferno in 1859 and his experience
in seeing the wounded and the 49,
900 dead lying neglected in the
field moved him to write a book
relating his experience in which he
proposed q voluntary society, in.
ternational In scope, with a pro-
lective emblem and urging special
training for this humanitarian
work. As a result twelve govern
ments were represented and in
1858 the Red Cross as a humani-
tartan and voluntary society was

The purpose of this organization
was concerned with the welfare,
comfort, health and sanitary con-
dition Of the Union Army. II did
provide cooks, nurses, hospitals,
medicines, bandages, clothing and

Many of the principles practiced
by this organization impressed the
Geneva Convention and they were
incorporated in the Red Cross or.
ganization. Later the Sanitary
Commission did not wish to pro-
pagate itself but urged Congress
to accept the international Red
Cross.
During the war between the
States Clara Barton became quite
well known for her voluntary SER
vice to men during the war. She
visited the hospitals and saw the
great need for nurses and supplies
for the sick and wounded. Many
men took time out to raise money
and make government contracts to
arrange for supplies, transporta-
ton and personnel. Miss Barton
