Fourteen The Canita! Journal. lm, Oreaon Wednesday, May 21, 1941 Poppy Wreaths Go on Graves Of Veterans Wreaths of V.F.W. Buddy Popples will be placed on all veterans' graves and strewn on the waters of the seven seas as America's annual trib ute to the memory of Its war dead on Memorial day. May 30. Friday, May 23, members of Mar lon post, No. 661, will conduct their annual sale of Buddy Poppies which gives the general public an oppor tunity to support a veteran welfare program Inspired by a desire to honor the dead by helping the living Proceeds of the annual Buddy Poppy sale are kept apart from all other funds and are used exclusive ly for relief work, local, state and national. The little red blossoms, emblem matie of those that bloom in Fland ers Fields, are assembled by dis abled veterans in government hos pitals, for several months previous to Memorial day. The task of making these popples Is a congenial one. It offers the sol dier handicapped by Illness or wounds to earn during his convales cence. In addition, hospital author ities testify to the therapeutic value of this work in keeping the minds of the patients b,usily occupied, thus bringing relief to nerves drawn taut by shell shock and wounds that re fuse to heal. The poppy relief fund, realized through the sale of these flowers, gives the local post money with which to carry on its welfare work 'among comrades and their depend ents In distress. It permits a system of veterans' administration liaison service on behalf of the veteran seeking hospitalization or compen sation. One cent from each poppy sold goes to the VFW national home at Eaton Rapids, Mich., a refuge cre ated for the orphans of deceased veterans. This home Is giving these youngsters a roof they can call their own, clothes, school facilities and the comforts that would have been theirs had their heroic fathers sur vived the sufferings of war.

Biakeslee , New York, May 21 (The Special News Service) Flying at 30,000 feet, a British officer, speaking by radio to the 11 other pilots in his squad ron, dropped the pipe-stem through which he was breathing oxygen. It was at his feet. He saw it there, and finished his instructions before bending to recover it. When, a'moment later, he stretch ed his arm down to grasp the thing, his arm wouldn't go where he want ed. The stem seemed to be moving around, although actually it was unmoved. His mind was so confused by the brief lack of oxygen that he could not recover the breathing tube. This incident, recently reported to a meeting of American physicians, was their introduction to a new set of problems in human endurance. The oxygen tube incident was only a minor one, easily explained. At 30,000 feet a man can stay conscious only one to two minutes without breathing pure oxygen. But before even that brief Interval he is like a drunk. The serious aspect is that at this altitude fighting pilots meet many conditions heretofore almost com pletely unknown. T-e most perfect physical and mental specimens of manhood may fail, while less perfect ones don't. It Is of vital Importance for doc tors to discover these differences before the men break down. The discovery is not possible yet, unless Germany has found the me thod. Meanwhile, men must train for months before their limits are learned, and the result is a real bot tleneck in pilots. Some of the handicaps are just coming to light One is aniseikonia. That Is the eye trouble which was brought to light a few years ago in Dartmouth college clinic. It, means that the eyes displace or distort objects so that they are not really where they look to be. Try looking through any imperfect win dow-pane to get the effect of aniS' eikonia. This trouble is so important in air fighting that even glass windshields have been re-designed, to get rid of aniseikonia of dual pilot control. If the glass curves aren't just right, one pilot sees the enemy plane In a different place than his co-pilot. Night blindness has been aggra vated for some men by high alti tudes. There also have been hearing difficulties, due to the speedy change In air pressure when rising at the rate of a mile a minute. Last November, after the German mass raids, the American doctors were told that England' had 250 good pilots grounded, 111. The first diagnosis was aeroem bolism, meaning the same kind of "bends" which deep sea divers get from nitrogen bubbles in their blood. Now it Is known that most of these pilots did not have the altitude bends, but something much worse. Their nerves and the functioning of glands and hearts were variously out of order. It might be called al titude shock. Doctors call it simply "stress." The problem of dive bomber pilots remaining conscious while straight ening out the plane after the dive appears to have been solved fairly well by the men themselves. The pilot bends forward, like a man crouching, trying to touch the floor with his head, and this position keeps the blood from draining from his brain.
