The memorandum tells of a man in an Ontario . plant who had been wearing his hair so long that it fell forward andcaught on a drill spindle. The Association points out that the hazard is not one that is de- termined `by the sex ofthe worker; the hazard is the length of the hair and whether itis adequately covered' A bulletin, designed to tie in with the memorandum, advises: "Keep your hair completely covered near movie g machinery. Wear propercaps- they $453.35. A new shipment of material 'la'oic better than a wig." HOLMESVILLE The regular meeting of the Holmes- ville Unit of the Red Cross was held at the home of Miss S. Acheson on Wednesday Nov, 18, with 15 memb- ers present. The President Mrs. E. Yeo occupied the chair. After singing God Save the ICing, the Red. Cross prayer was repeated in unison. The treasurers' report was given by Mrs. Pit Elliott,There is $160, on hand. Mrs. MacMabh reported for the pack- ing committee and Mrs. Walter for the boxes sent to the boys overseas. Letters from the boys were read tell- ing of their gratitude to Red Cross for the articles sent them, inany of which they cannot obtain where they are. During the afternoon two ,quilts were finished and articles' for sewing- given ewinggiven out. Would like each group to report on their activities op to the present time, at the next meeting Dec. 2..when the election of officers will take place. Refreshments were served by Group'7, Following is a copy of a letter written by Bill Wilding. Dear Mrs. McMath: I received the parcel. sent by the I3olmesvi to people on July 81st to- day and will you please extend my sincere and heartfelt thanks to all for their kindness. This is the second one from Hohnesville and both are very much appreciated. It has been some time now since we left the shores of Canada and; is slightly more than a year since last I was in Hoh esville. The first three of these months 'seemed to be the worst and now we are almost, what one might say resigned to our fate and trying to stake the best of it. It is a lovely country but Canada has prejudiced all of us and this compels us to make extreme comparison. At the present time I am talking a six months course of study in the University of London. The govern- ment is paying my expenses at a smart hotel here and three hou;ts homework doesn't allow one much .time for sight seeing. On the whole though we are enjoying it immensely. We have had quite a lot of fun with "Jerry" lately-. I haven't' come across any of the Hohnesville boys yet but hope to soon, About four months ago I tried for the R,C.A.F. as a pilot, passed all the exams was recommen- ded for a commission and then failed on my medical. Had, a letter from dad Last week and he seems to be quite firmly set- tled in his hew home. he has many happy memories of FIolmesville'and will always remember the kindness and friendship of the commnunity. Once again, my sincere thanks' and regards to all in Hohnesville and hope to see you all in the near future, Sincerely: Rill Wilding.

A; Tribute to Navy League (Reprinted from a Montreal Daily Star Editorial, Oct. 24 1942) "But for the work of the Navy League the Merchant Seaman'slot since the war began would indeed have been a very sorry one, for the Navy League has done a great deal offibialler to ameliorate it. The mer- chant seamen hostels' and clubs, the provisions of recreation facilites of duffle bags, of comfortable accomino. dation for the survivors of torpedoed ships, and of other services, cannot be too highly praised, and it gives the citizens of Clinton very much pleasure to pay this tribute to the hard work and unselfish devotion which officials and staff of'the Navy League of Canada have brought to bear in those services,—hard work and devotion which have been accen- tuated through the fact that the War Budget Committee at Ottawa, which handles the budget submitted by the Navy League for its services to Mer- chant Seamen, could' not see its way last year to grant more than fourteen per cent: of the League's estimated budget of $18,000.000. ."The Navy League depends under ordinary circumstances on private contributions to carry on its work, and its financial resources have accord- ingly been subjected to an almost unbearable strain ... The limits of the Navy League's activities on be- half of Merchant Seamen` 'are con- trolled only by the willingness of the public at large to pay their tribute to the life -line of the Empire, and this can be done by Supporting the numerous voluntary organizations who are sharing in the work,' "The League is faced with under- takings of considerable magnitude in the' immediate future. These include new officers' clubs at Saint John, N. B., and Halifax; new seamen's clubs at Pietou,`N. S., and Melbourne, N. S. and at Vancouver, B. C., and develop- ments at Deeps Brook, N. S,, in con nection with the great naval rating's establishment devoted to recreation for sailors on leave, "These undertakings will involve vary heavy expenditure and the Navy League will look to the public, and rightly so, to increase substantially their support of its work. Without the League we should,. have had a situa- tion develop which no honest Canadian could have regarded with anything but shame. The League has set the public an inspiring example, and we commend it to their increasingly hearty and practical support." • Flying Doctors of the R.A.F. (By an Air Correspondent) Out in the western desert of Africa an R. A. F. pilot lay in the wreck- age of his shattered plane. His skull was fractured, one arm was broken. Beside him lay the observer with both arms broken. A British aircraft spotted them, re- ported their position to the base, and immediately a doctor was flown to the scene of the crash. He administered anaesthetics and dealt with the frac- tures. At dawn an ambulance plane took the doctor and his patients back to the base hospital. This is a typical example of the calls the medical officers of the R. A. P. have to make. No matter where the R.A.F. may be, the unswerving rule is that if the patient cannot be brought to the doctor, the doctor must be taken to the patient. One R.A.F. doctor had to perform a blood transfusion in a tent surround- ed by whirling sand. The patient, a South African rear -gunner, had been badly wounded when he baled out of a shot up plane. The doctor called for volunteer blood donors, worked swift ly under difficult conditions, and say - ed the gunner's life. But treating wounded R.A.F. men is my part of the work done by the fly- ing doctors: Much of .their time is spent in research on the physiologieal requirements of flying. They make special flights to' discover the reac- tions of their own bodies, brains and vision of the stresses inseparable from modern high-speed; and long.

As far as possible they fly under the same conditions as those encountered on fighter sweeps and high -ceiling, long-range opera- tions, A fighter aircraft with a doctor aboard will be dived at speed, pulled out, zoomed, roiled and thrown all over the sky, exactly as it would be in a fight with the enemy. And while it is performing these acrobatics, the doctor notes his own physical and mental reactions. From this data ade- quate treatment can be devised for operational personnel. Doctors Are. Their Own Guinea Pigs Doctors also make long-range cross- country, flights at the ceiling reached over enemy country. They study their reaction:d and those of the crew. It was' through such first-hand exper- ience that the use of oxygen at high altitudes was perfected. Some air doctors are first class pil- ots and, take aircraft up themselves to judge a pilot's reactions, One phys- ician had a cine eamera fitted in the cockpit to film his facial changes` as VIII•11,01,011.0.1•110NOMISIONOMIN MOM. he deliberately "blacked -out"-, that dived at such speed that when he pulled out he -momentarily lost con- sciousness. The first warning signal of black- ing -out is a feelifig that the tissues of the face and eyes are being sucked inwards and downwards. Then there is a downward displacement of the contents of the abdomen followed by a gradually increasing dimness of the whole vituab field. The, climax is sud- den blindness and a tingling sense - tion in the calVes of the legs. The great danger of blacking out is: the momentary loss of control over the machine during a critical man- euver. Medical researchers• have found' that the posibilty of blaeking-out is decreased if the pilot is in a crouthed sitting position with his legs raised, during high acceleration. One other duty performed in the Middle tad by medical' officers in the R.A.F, is flying to the aid of stricken tribesmen. Such service has built up a strong spirit of goodwill' for Brit- ain among. the African tribes.
