First on the list of improvements will probably be completion of the corner at the city plaza which was halted by the war. Some of the buildings have al ready been torn down to make way for the improvement but some sites yet remain to be pur chased by the state. It is not stated in the highway commis sion's report whether the local improvement will receive A-l priority in the state's program but because it was started be fore the war it is thought by many to be considered for com pletion as soon as possible.

Y., (U.R) The speed with which blood plasma is administered to a critically wounded serviceman often is the difference between life and death. Lt. Allan A. Fisher, U. S. Navy surgeon assigned to the Schenectady Red Cross blood donor center, says a new techni que has been developed in com bat areas whereby the plasma is administered in four places in a man's body simultaneously, in order to get it into him quickly enough to save his life. "One bottle of plasma is fed into each arm and one bottle is fed to the patient in each leg," Fisher said. "I know of many traumatic shock cases 1' plasma is admin istered within 45 minutes a life is saved. An hour would be too late," he added.. As many as 10 pints have been required to save the life of one man, the Mediterranean theater veteran and purple heart wearer says. "Cases using two and three pints are not uncommon," he ex plained. "As a matter of fact, because of this, now packages are being made up with full quarts of plasma because a pint is so seldom enough." WRITTEN IN SAND A Girl Scout executive now 'on loan" to UNRR reports that children living in a camp to which she is assigned in the Near East write their lessons in the sand to save notebooks and paper.
