OVERSEAS Plan To Hold A Euchre The November meeting of the Woe men's Institute took place in the Council Chamber on Friday. In the absence of the president the chair was occupied by the 1st vice, Mrs, S. S. Campbell, The meeting opened with the Ode followed by all repeating the Lord'$ Prayer, The treasurer reported that 160 boxes of cigarettes had been sent to local boys overseas.

J. Scott of Belgrave, presi- dent of the United Farmers Co-oper- ative of Ontario, was the special speak- er at the annual meeting of Bruce County Federation of Agriculture held in` Paisley, Monday afternoon. Mr. Scott gave an inspiring talk on conditions of the farmer at the present time and what he may expect after the war. Mr. Scott certainly has the in- terests of the farmer at heart. He made the startling statement that 65 per cent of Canada's bacon sent to England is distributed by Danish agents because Canada has, neither agent or facilities to do this business. Needless to say Denmark is thinking of their market in the post war period. The question is how is the Canadian Farmer going to compete with Den- mark and other countries after the war if plans are not laid now or, in the near future. Now Zealand has storage plants and every facility for the distri- bution of a full years supply of !bacon and other products of the farm estabe fished in England. Mr, Clifford Allen, president of the Grey County Federation of Agricul- Wm, spoke on 'the problem of our rural youth. He and his committee are working on a program to try and meet these needs, Mr, Allen said that in the past his opinion of high standard of living included a chesterfield in the living tooni, a frigidaire in the kitch- en, a radio and a car but now he has come to believe that a high standard of living refers to the influence for good an individual has over other peonle. He also spoke of -the necesSity of the freedom of democracy and stressed the importance d improving living conditions In Canada to be de. Serving of the sacrifices our boys are making ertterseaS. The Following Letter Shows These Things Are Appreciated The Navy League asks that all niake a search of their homes for games, cards ete. ,These things are wanted by the league for distribution to sail- ors.of the Merchant ,Marine and Navy. Your magazines are also on the want list. Your immediate co-operation is requested. The following letter received by Mrs. Horace Aitcheson from Petty Officer Alex Bennett tells the story. P.O. A. H. Bennett, • • .1-1.M.C. •IvI.L.O. 84 Gaspe. Dear Madam:— No doubt you will be surprised to hear from me, but the other day I got a deck of cards and your name fell out. I want to thank you, and it makes me proud to think that people at home think of us boys. There would be nothing better than to thank you in person, but until then keep up the good work because it brings us boys a Jot of comfort. Yours truly, Petty Officer Alex Bennett R. I SCOTT SPOKE Topic Was Given In Four Parts The Goforth Auxiliary of St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church,, met at the home of Mrs, Clark MacLean Tuesday evening, November 21st, with the president, Mrs. J.

(Continued on -.page seven) A young Canadian is brought into a medical station five hundred yards behind the front line, He cannot move or speak. He is pale, as death for most of the blood in his body has drained away through his wound. The doctor at the medical station places a hollow needle in a vein inside the patient's right elbow, A rubber tube connects the needle to a reservoir of plasma. Slowly the colour creeps back into the soldier's skin, his eye- lids flutter, and before long he wants water and a cigarette. Within those few moments he has been literally snatched from death, By means of blood plasma thousands of Canadian servicemen who other- wise would die are being restored to life. The plasma is used on the battle- field in large quantities to treat burns. In case of extensive burns much of the normal plasma in the blood will leak away into the burned tissues, leaving the blood stream low in vol- ume. Transfusions giVen repeatedly for 24 hours are necessary in this em- ergency. The three 'essentials in saving life by plasma are that the transfusions must he given early, they Must be rapid and they must be adequate, The Atiny Medical Corps is taking care of the fitSt two reqUiretneete, The last depends on the ,generosity of Cana- duns at home.
