Canadians Give. Blood
Stories of how blood serum con-
tinues 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 thing's as an identifica-
tion tag or a cartridge belt have sav-
ed a man's Life. One chap will be
able to display two holes in his hel-
met . ..but so placed that
luckily all He got was a severe head-
ache!
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 con-
siderable loss of blood. The story is
told of one lad who was shot through
the thigh; he lay in a shallow trench
for over twelve hours in a cross fire
before anyone could get to him. He
had applied a makeshift tourniquet
to his leg, but somehow, in the dark-
ness, it became loose. When this man
was brought aboard hospital ship he
showed clearly that he had lost a
terrific amount of blood. His pulse
was .barely perceptible, but he re-
sponded . . , recovered from the
shock, and his leg wound was taken
care of.
With so many patients, and so
few, trained personnel available to
care for them as such times, labora-
tory work necessary for whole blood
transfusions is often an impossibil-
ity. Therefore, dried blood serum,
mixed with sterilized water, is used
in such cases of ;shock , , . and to re-
store bleed volume in hemorrhage.
Some men reguire a great many such
transfusions' before they are in a fit
state for further medical attention.
From such experiences gained first
hand in battle, it has become appar-
ent that blood serum is one of the
greatest aids in treating our wound-
ed soldiers, sailors and airmen. Ser-
um is packed in Convenient packages,
and is easily given anywhere, on the
field . . in a foxhole ...or dugout
or a lifeboat!
Canadian Red Cross is proud of
the fact that loyal Canadians every-
where 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 Dominion , , as a whole!

Owls Scare Starlings
Here's a tip for anyone who wants
to get rid of starlings and who may
happen to have a stuffed: owl around
the premises. Harold Woolverton, a
Grimsby fruit -grower, by placing a
stuffed• owl in the top of sweet cherry
trees believes he has found an un-
beatable way of keeping starlings
away from his fruit. In a row of fif-
teen trees, he has placed four owls
this year, and he reports "there's not
a bird to .be seen anywhere near those
cherries." By means of a string he
fastened the owls to the end of poles
in such a way that they swing around
in the wind.—Goderich Signal Star.
