Blood Condition j
Lecture Given
A large number of persons j
;urned out Tuesday night to hear j
Dr. K. D. McMilan, local patholo
gist, speak on “The Rh Factor in
Blood.”
Dr. McMilan described the find
ings of a recent conference at
Stanford university, as well as not
ing the general medical signifi
cance of the Rh factor.
According to Dr. McMilan, Rh
factor, which was discovered in
1940, is of use in obstetrics and
transfusions. It is a frequent cause
of still birth, and can prove fatal
if a person with Rh negative blood
is given transfusions of Fdi positive
blood more than once.
A corrected fault is a profitable
gain.

IN THE STILL OE THE NICHT
A MAM DIED -
He had worked late—he was tired—thoughtlessly he walked to the
right along the darkened highway. Beyond the turn of the road were
the lights of home.
Speeding through the early darkness, a driver urged his car
along, hugging the edge of the road. A dim shape, a sudden sicken
ing jolt — and the terrorized driver, his car careening, sped .on —
around the curve, past the lighted cottage beside.the road. And in
the still of the night, a man died.
These are the ingredients of accidents and death at night. Often
the victim contributes to his own death by not walking to the left,
facing traffic. But far too many pay with their lives for. the reckless
driving of the hit-and-run car coward. To him self-preservation is
more urgent than the saving of a life.
To his kind let this be a warning. Of all highway and traffic vio
lators, the hit-and-run driver fares worst. Sooner or later, his crime
leads to prison and disgrace.
The highways shall be cleared of these auto highwaymen.
