Q CLINTON, ONTARIO RED CROSS NOTES AN APPEAL TO THE WOMEN OF • CANADA Workers of all kinds are needed. More comforts, for the Services are required than ever' before in our history. For the :first 'time since the outbreak of war, we have a whole Canadian army in the field, and the winter will be very long, very cold and very wet—Our Navy grows Con- stantly and needs moreand: more warm woolens. if it is to accomplish its tremendous. task.—Our Airforce flies at great heghts where the cold is intense at all times. of the year. Sueely you who have always respon- ded: .before so magnificently,, will not fail our men in the :Services in this their most ,c,itical winter. The hardships they will be ealled upon to endure are so great that we prefer, for our own sakes, not' to think of them; but we Must think of them. We must realize them fully, and then do everything in our power to''lessen them. More and still more civilian cloth- ing is needed too. The terrible flying bombs are still causing desolation in parts of England, and, in addition, we are how able to reach parts of liberated Europe for the first time. The first shipment of Canadian clothing went to France some time ago. Mrs. MMEaehren, who is now in England, has arranged for a further large shipment to go to Yugoslavia. This is just the beginning. Can you —any of you—whose children and gi,andchildren are safe, clear-eyed, warm and unafraid—Can you fail to do everything you possibly can to help those little children td Europe? Winter is at hand. This appeal is sent to you at this time as the reports on the progress. of quotas for nine months of this year are causing us, 'here at' National Headquarters, very grave concern. , It is -evident ,that great numbers of our workers -are still in sisting on making the articles they most like to make. Thin is proved by the fact that helmets and sleeveless sweaters have been overshipped, whereas, to quote just one instance: of the 55,000 long-sleeved khaki sweaters asked for, only about 13,- 000 have been shipped'to date. We urge you to go to your near- est Red 'Cross Branch, Take what- ever work •is`moat needed, and do it as quickly as •poosib;e. It is your own personal responsibility—'You are the Red Cross. You are the only ones who can do it. The need is very real and very urgent. This is the home stretch, the last long mile , . What is remembered afterwards is not with what high enthusiasm we began the job, but how we finished it. We must not, and we cannot fail. (signed) Roberta N. Mackenzie Mrs. D. G.

The 'meeting , closedwith the e Grand Howl and Flag 1Lowering, Major W. T. MMlusth.rd Averts Amputations A young Canadian y g Ca donde doctor xoikmg• in a Canadian casualty clearing' ste- tion almost on the border of Belgic and Holland has found a new, method of surgery that will save ,t'se 'limbs of unto.'.d numbers of'soldiers fight- izeg onthis front when the innova- tion becomes known. Thirty-year-old Major W. T. Mus- tard, of Toronto, who : looks like a college student, already has; saved the shell -shattered legs of „Private E. 0. Brewer, of Frederi=ton'' and Captain Graham Dixon, a British officer. If luck had not brought; '. these two men: to a Canadian field,=surgical unit housed for the mome•lat in a battered baronial mansion near a Flemish town, they would bddh prob ably face the future with onp.leg. .FINDS DISCOVERY :"EX'ITING" "Exciting" is the word t young do•tor uses to describe de cube -theiseov d cry and it was',exciting to stand in the makeshift operating room,! it; win- dows shaking from a bombardment, and hear the story for the first time of the first completely successful operation performed a ' fewi Weeks ago. Working with his teammate, Capt. Ken Wilson, of Ottawa, Maj,Mustard has suecessfuUy inserted, glass tub. ing to replace a shatte•Le-1 .piece of an artery and in this way 'maintained a normal blood supply' to thh wound- ed leg. Normally the arte7,y would have been .tied to prevent bleeding to death and the limb eventually would have had to be amputated. " The•use of glass tabes to replace arteries has been demonstrated in animals", the major said, "but as far us we know this is the fust time it has been done in humans." GLASS TUBE. IN ARTERIES The first operation was performed a few weeks ago on a prisoner of war *hose leg was almost completely shot off. The medical officer replaced the severed artery with:a• glass, tube but.the blood clotted in ,ilia.-Jgn*.tube, alter a few hours end the leg hpd to he amputated. The now,D r Then as D . Mustard was working with makeshift surgical in- struments, using glass tubes he made himself. "Nobody 'believed my oper- ation would work," he said. "I couldn't get equipment. It took weeks to get the necessary drugs." When he got the drug he required heparin, he had won a fight and solved his greatest problem. He- parin, which prevents blood clotting, was discovered some time ago ,but first used for arterial surgery by Dr. Gordon Murray, of Toronto. , With this drug, Maj. Mustard could place a glass tube in a severed artery and the blood would continue to flow normally and the le; would be saved. "FANTASTICALLY SIMPLE" "Thesecret of the operation of placing .a glass tube in the artery is � so simple it is fantastic" he said. "The operation can he performed in half • an hour. People we get here close to the front line, are the worst cases. Men are nearly, .dead when brought iii• through loss Of blood. Our fiat job is to save their lives and the operation must 'be simple and easy," The first seccessful operation was on Capt. Dixon, brought to the unit with an artery in his right leg slashed -high in the thigh and badly mangled below the knee. Normally the • leg would have been . amputated immediately to avoid gas gangrene setting in. The major inserted' glass tubes, one in the artery in the groin, one below the knee. "The captain had lost so >much blood he was nearly dead," . Maj. Mustard eontinned. 'His foot was cold and white. He . couldn't have stood a lengthy operation. We put in tubes and the blood started to flow, GRAFT FROM VEIN "Using heparin to keep the blood, flowing, we left in the tubes until the captain was in condition to stand an operation. We removed the tubes, replaced the shattered piece of the artery with a graft from a vein. We had some bad moments until the vein settled down andwe know it will now assume the characteristics of an artery. The operation took more than two hours, The man could never have stood it at first."
