•THE PART BLOOD SERUM PLAYS
Stories of how .blood serum 'continues to
• .
save the lives of men in this war. come 'on
-every mail from Overseas. Casualties are 'many
and varied. Freak wounds are 'recounted where
such things as an identification tag of a car-
tridge - belt have saved a man's life. One chap
will be able to display two holes in his helmet,
-- but so -placed that luckily all he got. was a
severe. headache! •
But among the more. serious wounds are .
abdominal, chest and the more vital parts of
the body. Wherever the injuries interrupt large -
• blood vessels there is always , a considerable•
I loss of blood. The story is told of one lad who
was shot through the thigh;- he .lay in a shal-
•low trench for over 'twelve hours in a cross
fire before anyone could get to him. He had
applied a makeshift toturniquet to his leg, but,
somehow, in the darkness, it becarne loose.
When this man was .brought aboard hospital
ship he showed clearly that he had lost a teL
' rific amount of blood. His pulse was barely
perceptible, but with an immediate adminiitra-
• ton of blood serum, he responded, recovered
from the shock, and his leg wound was taken
care of.
With so many patients, and so few trained '
personnel,..availablehto care f th t ticla
times, laboratory Work neCessary for 'Whole
blood transfusion is often an riapossibility. •
Therefore, dried blood serum, mixed with stet--;
•.ilied water, is used insuch cases of shock, and "
to restore blood volume in hemorrhage. Some
'men require .a great many such transfusions
before they are in a fit state for further med-
. •
ical attention.
From such experiences gained first hand
initbattle, it bas become apparent that bleed
serum, is one of the greatest aids in' treating
Our. wounded soldiers, sailors and airmen.
Serum is packed in convenient packages, and
easillygiven anyeeliere,. on the held, iri a fox-
hole 'or dugout, or a lifeboat!
Canadian Red Cross is proud of, the fact
that loyal Canadians everywhere are aware
of the need for serum. Their concerted response
to appeals for this vital life saving necessity
is a credit to themselves and to the Dorninion,
as a who/e! •

We hear a.good deal about postwar plan- ,
ning these days—much of which is very good
arid very necessary. Bel the boys ov-ersea,s Wll

their perspective? Do we know what they wnil
want and expect on their . return to civilian
life? It doesn't require any "royal commission"
to find out these things—the boys and girls in .
uniform cotild effectively use their borne town
paper ,to let the folks at home now what thy
are thinking, talking and planning regarding
the postwar era. They may get a • bit tired
of some of this postwar planning on the "home

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AT THE: HELM
The 25th anniversary .of Right Honourable,
W. L. Mackenzie King's leadership oftheLib-
eral Party was observed across the Dominion
on Monday. Regardless of one's political lean-
ings •it must,be admitted that this is an out-
standing record, "-achieved by few men in
Canada or Great Britain during. the 'past cen-
tury, and which earns -for Mr. King recognition
LIS one of the Dominion's greatest of 'statesmen.
Throngh years, of peace, of:prosperity, •of
depression, of Wer, and now cor(fronted with
• postwar planning; probably no other prime
minister of Canada has ever had such prole-
- •
lems to face as he.
-Canada;s 'war effort, if one .wishes. to ac-
• cept thefaets, has been an outstanding achieVe-
. •
ment by a nation of Tess' than 4welVe million
• people. Mr. King's leadership in this respect is
most creditable, marred however, in the minds,
of:the majority of Canadians by the Plebiscite
' fiasco, and Government's two -army policy.
- Mr. King was elected leader of the Liberal
Party on 7th August 1919; During twenty-five
• years he hat had as loyal support froni the
Canadian people as any political leader has
ever had. No one has so Much as questiontd
his leadership of his party during these years.
• Like all great men, Mackenzie. King Will
• be .judged in relation to the larger movements
of events to which he is contributing. It will
be years hence, in another generation, before
all the facts of Mr. King's career can be placed)
against the unknown circumstances of his time.
But it is already possible to identify movements
