RED CROSS S NOTEbS Canadians faced death on the beach of Dieppe. Their Mand against the Nazi scourge was a victory of spirit and flesh: Now many of those same Canucks are fighting, death in hospi- tal beds, faeed with the enemies, shell splinters, wounds, shock, hemorrhage. But they are not fighting this battle alone. Medical science has speeded its find- ings to'keep time with. World War II. First among these findings is the use of blood plasma to combat shock and hemorrhage. Following the Battle of Dieppe the troops of Canada, Britain and the United States drew Iifeblood from the great bank that has been es- tablished of troops, an 'hdfor care tables ep civil- ians in war areas who can be aided by blood transfusions. London began contributing to this blood hank last January when the London Branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society established its Volun- tary Blood Donors' Service at Vic- toria Hospital and appealed to citi- zens to contribute their blood to the hank. Since the end of January a total of 2900 People have literally given their blood, averaging 93 to the clinic held during each week. At Strathroy a subsidiary service has been set up and donors are brought regularly to Victoria Hospital an Tuesday morn- ings. Members of the Advanced Driv- ing and Maintenaee School at Wood- stock are also regularcontributors and individuals from surrounding :centres have offered their blood. Red Cross societies have also estab- commend payment of the following beef at 5c a pound and tivo dressed for the first meeting following the lashed depots at Brantford, Kitchener, accounts for the month of August.: f chickens could be bought at the but 1'olid t period.
