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.

Altitude Has
Real Problems
For Aviators
By Howard W. 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.
