New York (U.R) The national
blood program of the American
Red Cross is just two years old,
vet already blood is being sup
plied to l.aou nospuaia in ja
states.
In all, more than 500,000 pints
of blood for medical use have
been provided through 30 reg
ional programs in operation since
the first center was established
at Rochester, N. Y., on Jan. 12,
1948.
A spokesman for the program
explained that blood supplied
through the Red Cross is taken
from voluntary donors, tested as
to medical safety, typed as to
blood group and Rh factor, and

Blood Saves Many Livti
The use of blood is dramatic.
One use is for transfusions .to
undcr-par patients who are about
to undergo surgery and need a
"building up." It also is used for
complete blood-exchange opera
tions for babies suffering from
erythroblastosis, a serious blood
impairment caused by the incom
patible Rh blood factors of their
parents.
In many other cases, mothers
suffering childbirth hemorrhages
receive blood from the Red Cross
centers. Chronic anemics and suf
ferers from leukemia have had
their lives extended.
In addition to whole blood dis
tributed, large quantities of valu
able blood components, or de
rivatives, nave Been made avail
able. Immune Serum Globulin
One of the derivatives is Im
mune serum globulin, which can
be used either as an immunizing
agent or modifying agent in
measles.
Physicians point out that use
of the serum usually prevents
complications which leave per
manent impairment, such as
heart damage, deafness and en
cephalitis, commonly known as
sleeping sickness.
The Red Cross said that during
the 1948-49 fiscal year about 700,
000 units of immunte serum glob
ulin were distributed through
state health departments.
"While the regional blood cen
ters have not yet reached the
point where the whole nation
is served," a spokesman said,
"the country generally is reap
ing vast benefits from these de
rivatives, which have been pro
cessed from surplus plasma re
turned by the armed forces at
the end of the war."
It was pointed out that the
surplus is now running low and
that new regional blood centers
will be established during this
year.

and everything else you have
told us to do. So I'll be blessed
if I know whether it is the rolls,
but I believe it is.
When I started I would be sick
as the dickens. So I stopped.
Then I thought I probably need
ed it more than as if I didn't get
dizzy. So I took myself in hand
and rolled somersaults in spite
of hell and high water. I decided
that if people 70 and older could
do it, then, by golly I at 50
could. After a few trials I was
O.K. Now I can do any number
and come up on my feet perfectly
steady, although I had been
somewhat unsteady just walk
ing, mincing along, watching
every step.
Now I wish you could see me
stepping out and down the steps,
bifocals and all, head up, chin in,
legs swinging easily from the
hips, crown of my head touching
an imaginary high ceiling. It's a
beautiful world!
My husband says to tell you
thanks a million, for you have
given him back the young wom
an he married 25 years ago.

focals has going down stairs will

A good many persons even
only 35 or 40 years old go all
dizzy and sick the first few times
they try to turn somersaults. As
I explain in the Invitation to the
Somersaultauqua (copy on writ
ten request if you provide self
addressed stamped envelope),
seeing stars, feeling dizzy and
upsetting the stomach upon your
maiden efforts to get the hang
of it, all go to show had badly
you need daily rolls. Don't let
it stop you. Have another go at
it that same night or morning.
Each successive trial will disturb
you less and less and in a week
or two you'll be rolling 'em Just
for the fun of it.
Remember, though, I'm not
fooling. I believe in somersaults,
roll a dozen myself every day,
recommend them for every one
who is not decrepit atid get this
clearly I do not advise any one
to roll somersaults. I merely
tell you 1 roll 'em myself, and
here is how. If ou want to try
em you do so at your own peril.
Notice that no mention was
made of the iodin ration or the
daily intake of minerals and vita
mins. If the lady has lived for
years in the Midwest, she would
probably enjoy greater vite by
reason of a suitable daily or semi
weekly ration of iodine in one
form or another. But that, like
other Important minerals and the
three most essential vitamins, is
fully explained in the booklet
The 7 Keys to Vite, available on
written request if you inclose
twenty-five cents and stamped
self addressed envelope.
Vite (rhymes with kite) Is a
coined word. It means
1. Preservation of the charac

2. Better-than-average nutrition

3. Better growth and develop

Norman Thomas Plans
No Presidential Race
Seattle, Mar. 4 (U.R) Norman
Thomas, persistent socialist par
ty candidate for president, says
he will not run for office in the
1952 elections.
Thomas, appearing in a three
way debate on the proposed Co
lumbia valley administration,
said he doubted that his party
would put up a national ticket
for the presidential race.

10. An attenuate fund of reserve
power to tide over . . .
11. The resiliency of the untam

savage.
The main reason why most of
you poor geeks haven't the vite

QUESTIONS ANSWERS
Some One li Stupid
I am Interested in your pamphlet
IT IS STUPID TO SUFFER FROM
PILES. My doctor claims the ambulant
or injection treatment might inter
fere with an operation for piles when
the operation becomes necessary.
(Miss V. E.)
Answer tat seems to be the main
objection some operators have the
ambulant or injection treatment
makes the old Spanish treatment un
necessary. Your doctor seems as stu
pid as his patient is about it. Reader
who want the pamphlet may have tl
on written request (no clipping,
please) if they provide stamped selt
addressed envelope.
I.lme Water
Will lime wnter help cure or retnrd
rheumatism? how about egK-sneus
(Mrs. R. W.)
Answer Lime water contains less
lime (calcium) than milk. Egg-shells
are practically pure calcium carbon
ate baked In the oven and powdered
they may serve the same purpose as
calcium carbonate antacid. For the
rhcumatlz you need much more lime
than you could get in egg-shell or
lime-water. Send stamped self-addressed
envelope and ask for pamphlet
CALCIUM AND RHEUMATIZ. To In
sure utilization of calcium or lime you
need an optimal dally ration of vita
min D or optimal exposure of body
to sunshine or skyshine so you can
manufacture your own vitamin D.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Federal Judge Keech finds the
United Mine Workers NOT
GUILTY of contempt of court in
refusing to obey a federal court
injunction to end their strike
and go back to work.
Looking at the situation from
all of its angles, 'I'm inclined to
regard . that as a wholesome
decision.
jET'S look at it this way:
If you can drive men to work
wit It an injunction (whose en
forcement weapon is the charge
of contempt of court! you can
drive them to work with a bull
whip.
Whenever men can be driven
to work with EITHER AN IN
JUNCTION OR A BULL WHIP
liberty will be dead.
Trying to stop strikes with in
junctions is like trying to cure
stomach ulcers with a nnistnrd
plaster on the chest. The pain
caused by the mustard plaster
will temporarily take your mind
off the pain in your stomach, but
it won't cure the ulcer.
To cure the ulcer, you'll have
to get at the CAUSE OF IT. The
same is true of strikes in key in
dustries, such as coal.
yyHAT.is the cause?
Well, Here Is my notion of It:
Big, disastrous strikes, like the
coal strike, that hurt everybody,
come about because of too much
power in too few hands. We nad
such strikes when employers
held too much power. We still
have them now that labor has too
much power.
We'll continue to have them
as long as power remains un
equally distributed.
YOU want examples? Here is
one:
Monopoly among employers
is forbidden by law. Labor
unions are EXEMPTED from the
operations of this law. Thus they
are given the power to close
down an entire industry, such as
coal. Coal is a basic industry.
Other industries, such as steel,
depend upon it for their exist
ence. Steel also Is a basic industry.
Other industries depend upon it.
Transportation is basic. Trans
portation leans heavily on coal
and steel. Coal also is needed to
keep people warm.
Because of these facts, and
they are facts, a coal strike can
paralyze our whole economy.
The power to paralyze our
economy is TOO MUCH power to
place in the hands of the miners
union and its officials.
OUT we can't cure these evils
by driving men to work under
the whip of an injunction. If
we're seeking a CURE, we must
get back to the cause. The cause,
it seems to me, is too much pow
er in too few hands such as giv
ing MONOPOLY POWER to
unions while denying it to
others.
w
H1LE we're at It, let's do
some realistic reasoning
about the right k strike.
The right to strike is a funda
mental right. But, like other
fundamental rights, IT MUST
BE EXERCISED WITHIN THE
LIMITS OF THE RIGHTS OF
OTHERS.

"Prop men, electricians, assist

How did they feel about peek-a-boo

Freedom of sneech is a funda

of freedom of speech as the union
people teel about the right to
strike. But we concede that the
right of freedom of speech must
be exercised within the limits of
the rights of other people. In our
use oi it, we mustn t trample
upon the rights of others.
The same holds true In the
case of the right to strike.
IN Washington, after Judge
Keech's decision thorp is much
muttering in the politicians'
beards about SEIZING THE
COAL INDUSTRY.
That is another mustnrd plas

temporarily off the coal strike

coal mines could Be the tirst
act of SOCIALISM in America.
Stomach ulcers, if neglected, can
KILL. Socialism can kill our
American way of life.
We'd better get back to fun
damentals, such as finding the
causes of our troubles and re
moving them, instead of mud

for us with startling clearness.
