Blood Type Listing Lags
The plan of the Jackson County Public, Health asso
ciation to secure a list of blood donors, to be "on
call" in cases of emergency, should have much greater
support here than it has thus far received. Only 70
persons have volunteered since the plan was an
nounced two weeks ago. At least 200 names should
be on the list to assure the full success of this wise
and foresighted precautionary program. -
The apparent lack of interest may be due to mis
understanding. These facts should clear up any mis
conception of the purpose of the Jackson County Pub
lic health association's appeal for donors.
FIRST of all, let us emphasize th
request for blood donations at

SO SAY WE ALL
"Speaking for a multitude of

glad when the democratic con
vention has been presented
again with the Illustrious name
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Not that we think the president
Is winning the war single-handed,
and therefore Is Indispensa
ble, and not fiat we have the
slightest objection to trading
horses In the middle of the
stream, but that personally we
are pretty well surfeited with
all this solemn buncombe about
whether or not the president
will consent to renomination."

that it is NOT a
request for blood donations at this time and
should not be confused with the program carried on
in metropolitan centers for blood plasma to meet mili
tary needs. It is simply a request for men and women
in good health to visit at once one of the three labora
tories in this city and have their blood "typed" then
stand by for future call should emergency arise. It is
likely that few will ever be called.
. .....
THE need for a list of blood donors is obvioils.
past when the proper type blood secured in time for
prompt transfusion would have saved precious lives.
The tragic lessons of- yesterday have prompted the
health association to take sensible steps in the right
direction a perpetual list of those who will willingly
give a little blood to save lives and suffering. A record
of blood types will save precious moments when they
are most needed.
As we cannot know when or where tragedy or ill
ness will strike, it becomes a matter of self-interest
for the Dublic to lend full support to this Drotrram. i
Those who volunteer will, of course, know their own
blood type information that s important to know.
.....
CAVING a life on the home front is as important as
saving a life on the battle field. Due to processing
problems, we cannot give blood for plasma here as
many would like to do but we can have our blood
typed and be willing to spare a little if the need arises
at home.
The Medford Laboratory in the Medford Center
building, and laboratories of the Community and
Sacred Heart hospitals will register volunteers and
make the simple and speedy test that determines
blood types. It is a matter of good neighborliness and
self-interest to have YOUR name on the blood donor
list. HG
As a result (as the situation now stands) his nomination next
week Is a 100 to one shot, and probably the show will be over
by mid-week, instead of taking until Saturday as was the case
four yean ago in Philadelphia.
If Dewey had started out early for the Republican nomination
and campaigned for It aggressively as Wendell Willkle did, he
would not be very much better off than Wendell Is now.
This was the year not to go out after a presidential nomination
but have it come to youl

NORMANDY AREA
COPPER MULFATE IN THE FIRST AID KIT
One of the items I suggest that, tard, salt water, etc,
every first aid kit or household
medicine cupboard should con
w
tain Is a vial
of blue vitriol
pre ferably a
half dozen one
grain tablets
or, if such tab
lets are not
available, then
six grains of
copper sulfate
d i s s o Ived In
two table
spoonfuls (one
fluid ounce) of
Dt Brad water.
This Is the most dependable
emetic for infant, child or adult
in a serious emergency, say
where a child has found and
eaten or swallowed some poison
Copper sulfate induces vomiting
immediately, not ten or fifteen
minutes from now or maybe not
at all, like syrup of ipecac. Ipe
cac Is all right to give a child
whose stomach is overloaded
with food; or child or adult with
bronchitis who doesn't cough up
the mucus from the bronchial
passages but swallows it instead.
If the first dose or doses (aver
age emetic dose is a teaspoonful
of syrup of Ipecac for infant or
young child) falls to produce
vomiting It will have some ex
pectorant effect anyway that
Is to say, It promotes coughing
Give the baby a spoonful, (tea.
spoon, tablespoon, no matter) of
the copper sulfate solution. If the
copper sulfate Is in one-grain
tablets, give a couple of the
tablets in a spoonful of water.
This will literally bounce back
almost as soon as it enters the
stomach, and bring with it what
ever the child has just eaten.
I must warn readers who wish
to follow this suggestion against
the gratuitous cautions some
druggists will trump up to cover
their unpreparedness to supply
this remedy. I have already men
tioned that "blue vitriol is a
common name for copper sulfate,
and I may also mention that it
is sometimes known as "blue
stone." The pure crystalline cop
per sulfate is of course poison
ous, astringent. Nevertheless, so
is ipecac poisonous in large
quantity. Most good remedies
are poisonous if wrongly used.
That is no reason why they may
not be sold to the public without
difficulty Just as ordinary tinc
ture of Iodine is.

Overland Limited, En. Route to Chicago, June 22. This Is the
day after the longest day in the year and we are somewhere in
Nebraska. Now the days will grow steadily shorter until Decem
ber. And there hasn't been day of summer yett
Most unusual. However, thinking back we remember a year ago
we ran into a blizzard in Wyoming south of the Black Hills of
South Dakota, the first week in June, so perhaps the climate
on the North American continent is changing.
. .
We hope the climate here In the Mississippi valley and east of
it has changed. Next to Boston, Mass., it is the worst climate in
the world. We should know we lived In it for 30 years! And
Chicago! Whewwww we dread It!
. . .
Next door to us are a dog and a cat, the former known as
"Happy", the latter as "Gloomy Gustav". "Happy" true to his
name is having a grand time, nosing all over the place and when
being aired at the stations nearly breaks his leash If he sees
another member of the canine family. He's a pedigreed "wire
haired" and Is going to try for a prize at the Chicago dog show.
The cat Is equally high class, but Is kept in a special satchel, with
a wire netting at one end, and never in public at least, let out.
'Gloomy" doesn't like the trip or anything else, but like a true
thoroughbred doesn't complain, not audibly at least. He may get
a prize at the eat show. Gloomy's eyes are huge and so is his
mustache, his expression Is a mixture of fear and suppressed Indig
nation. We have secretly wished ever since leaving that by some
mischance Gloomy would get loose while "Happy" was on the
loose also. We would bet on "Gloomy" In spite of the wlre-halred'i
surplus energy and spunk.
Had breakfast this morning with a Lieutenant Commander of
the Navy Just back from tho South Pacific. He wouldn't or at
least didn't, talk about his own experiences, though they must
have been thrilling, for one side of his face was badly scarred and
he had a most imposing row of service stripes. He did express
definite opinions about tho war in Europe and Is willing to bet
(Please pago G. Thorndlke!) that General "Ike ' has to take a
trip down Salt Creel: on his promise of peace In EUROPE by this
coming New Years. He sees at least six months In 1043 before the
fighting over there stops. He also thinks the capture of Cherbourg
won't help the allies much unless they also get Havre and Bre.t.
In fuct he believes Rommel's plan is to get the allies on the Cher
bourg peninsula and then coop them up by cutting the peninsula
base.
However the Commander admits he knows nothing about the
military end of the war and never has been In Europe.
The corn In Nebraska certainly will never be "knee high by the
4th of July," only two or three Inches above the ground In most

among the young.
So Governor Warren again declares he Is not a candidate for
the Republican vice presidency and releases his delegation as far
as any sort of national office for himself is concerned
What does It mean? Exactly nothing!
It merely puts Governor Warren In precisely the same strategic
position his probable running mate will be. I.e.: Governor Dewey.
The Governor of New York Is still "not a candidate" as far as
pny formal statement Is concerned. And It IS sound strategy under
existing conditions, as no doubt Wendell Willkie and ex-Goveror
Stamen would privately admit, at this time.
Yes. either Tom Dewey Is smart politician or he has the
benefit of some smart political advisers. We are disposed to believe
the latter, for the one strong point about Dewey, een his enemies
admit, la his ability to select good men to aid him.
For months now Dewey s enemies both in the ReDitblie.m and
Democratic parties have been trying to smoke him out. both as
an avowed presidential candidate, and as a potential partv leader
who because of his leadership should broadcast a detailed set of
bis political principles. Dewey has refused to be ' smoked".

Allied Advance Command
Post, June 24 U.R) Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower returned
here today after his second tour
of the American beachhead posi
tions in France.
He spent four hours In Nor
mandy conferring with Gen.
Omar Bradley and talking to
many GIs in the field.
The supreme commander was
accompanied only by his aide,
Lt. Col. Ernest R. Lee, and this
correspondent as representative
of the combined press.
Eisenhower crowded as much
as possible Into his four-hour
visit. He spent an hour talking
with Bradley and other U. S.
leaders and most of the remain
der with Infantrymen, gunners
and tankmen. He whizzed
through Normandy In a three
Jeep caravan, startling MPs.
It was his first visit to the
American sector since June 12
and he came away with his face
wreathed In satisfaction at what
he saw.
He spent much of his time
with units recently arrived In
France, shooting questions to see
if the men oculd handle them
selves in case of attack.
He, asked Pvt. Louis Bernard
of Rochester, N. Y., "What would
you do if a German plane were
suddenly to appear over your
encampment?
"I'd fire three shots of warn
ing, Sir, and then shoot at him,
Sir," Bernard quickly replied.
Elsenhower smiled and nod
ded and then walked briskly
over to Pfc. Babdon Odadzlon,
Akron, Ohio.
"Where are you going to sleep
tonight?" he asked.

If It were offered him, Minority

shortly after his arrival from

"I think that Warren sincere
ly does not want it, but I believe
he will take it if it Is offered,'
Martin said.
The minority leader, who man
aged Wendell Wlllkle's campaign

Plttshureh. June 24 UR) A
tornado which swirled through
parts of West Virginia, Pennsyl
vania and Maryland last night,
left in its wake more than 152
dead, over a thousand injured
and a crazy-quilt pattern of
wrecked homes and buildings,
severed communications and flat
tened crops.
Northern West Virginia, which
bore the brunt of the freakish,
unseasonal storm, counted at
least 116 dead, more than 500 in
jured and thousands homeless.
Others were reported missing,
as was the case In western Penn
sylvania, where the known dead
reached 36 with another 500 or
more Injured.
The twister, striking at dusk
yesterday and cutting an erratic
path of death and destruction
across the three states, touched
only briefly in Maryland in
Garret county in the western
most part of the state but left
at least three dead and 20 in
jured here.
Damage In the three states
was estimated conservatively at
$5,000,000, with t least $1,000,-
000 in homes and business houses
leveled in the HcKeesport, Pa.,
area alone.
Probably hardest hit of an es
timated two dozen towns and vil
lages in. the three states was the
little mining community of
Shinnstown, in Harrison county,
W. Va., where officials-listed at
least 54 dead late today, 100 In
jured 25 seriously and several
persons missing.
Severe as it was, the tornado
did not approach in the toll of
life and damage that taken by
similar storms which have swept
this nation. A tornado on the
Georgia coast in 1936 killed 472
persons, and one in 1932 in Ala-
Dama leit aau dead, in 1827, a
tornado In Illinois destroyed
property valued at $100,000,000.
Whole districts were leveled
by the tornado last night which
was believed to have formed in
West Virginia. Severed commu
nications and disrupted transpor
tation maae it difficult for of
ficials to determine the exact
extent of death and damage
