Blood plasma is something that
money cannot. buy and no matter
how 'badly the ,Red Cross .is in
need of your dollars; it is equally
urgent that there be a continued
increase in the nunsiber: of blood
donors..
'This .'need can be simply. ,il-
lustrated •by the fact that ap-
proximately four blood 'don-
ations • are required. to 'provide
sufficient plasma for 'one • blood
transfusion. ' One wounded : sol-
dier may require several trans-

Last week. "A. Citizen" asked
why street' lights were. allowed
to burn so°,long after daybreak
and ,before•dark. There 'are .sev--
eral factors entering into the
picture,' it. seems. • • °
Reeve Joynt . pointed . out to th ,a:
writer. that the clook governing
the 'lights was adjusted a' few
weeks ago—as the •days began to
lengthen. Then the •snowwent,'
and: after a couple of dull foggy `
mornings, he •was "jumped' on"
-because: some • people • had- yrs
"grope" their way to work in
the dark. The clock was set for-
ward again, and Mr. Joynt ad-
mits that - probably. it. was ad-
vanced • about a • half hour tc e
'Much. • _ -
The clock. however, is an old
ane '(new ones are • not .obtain-*
able) and will vary as much as
half an hour in controlling thk' .
street lights.• . This variation has
to be allowed for. , . .
• Mr. Joynt wonders why II ..A • .
