IITHURSD~ M ~Y, MAY 21, 1942 PAGE FIVE THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARTO 'KAYE'S KO LU [T1fl CARE 0F BRITISH CHILDREN In Great Britain one of the most difficuit tasks 0f wartime is pre- serving the mental and physical health of the children stili in Brit- ain. Grown-ups gladiy drink their tea without milk so the the chu- dren may have an adequate ra- tion, and ail oranges are saved for them. It is feit that it is not nervoua strain, but a feeling of insecurity which plays havoc with a child~s nervous system. Therefore every- thing is done to give young Brit- ons that needed feeling of solidar- ity. The best gas-masks are their lot, as weli as special meais at feeding centres. At sehool the teachers see that they get their' morning milk and rehearse them carefully in Air Raid Drill 50 that they will feel secure and prepared. Special children's newscasts are broadcast daily, giving them a simplified, but perfectly true ver- sion of the day's news. Parents are warned to be calm and matter of fact in their explanation 0f air- raids as they would be in peace time about thunder storms. From records of their physicai health it is apparent that on the whole children's health has in no way deteriorated. In many cases it has actuafly improved. Al- though it is more difficuit f0 gauge their mental heaith. it ap- pears that they have become more independant. For years English children have seemed far younger than Canadian children of the same age because of their depen- dence on their nurses. Today the English chiid likes to make his own appointments at the clinic, and to decide for himseif what kind of war work he wili do, paper salvaging or helping on the farm. Amidst ail the horrors of war, Britain has not forgotten her children, and under the best care available under the circum- stances, they have prospered.

Since prospec- tive donors will doubtlcss be curi- ous conc~emning fie actual pro- cedure involved, Tic Stafesman prints flic personal experience of one of ifs staff as a donor. During fie campaign tiosc of us wio planned to volunfeer for blood filled in small green cards whici werc scnf to the Blood Clinic. Tic Volunfeer Workcrs at fie Clinic filed tic applications in alpiabefical order and cailed us one at a fime f0 appear af an hour appoinfcd for examination. On arrivai at fie Clinic f us firsf time, wc wcre met by scv- eral nurses and a clcrk wlio usiercd us to a small table cover- cd witi clinical apparafus. Whule one nurse askcd us questions con- ccrning our icalfi and carcfully f abulafcd fie answers for fie files, a second pricked flic cnd of cadi 0f our index fingers and cxtracfcd an infinifesimal amount of blood witi a pipette. Whilc tic blood thus faken was fesfed for ioemoglobin (tic iron in the blood, we wcrc told), we wcre led over f0 another cubicle, wlicre a doctor test cd our blood pressure and examincd our veins. As if happcncd, ah of our number iad normal blood pressure, but anc of fie girls showcd very small veins. Tic doctor cxplaincd fiat tic transfusion migif prove pain- fui f0 lier and advised lier not f0 affempf f0 donafe blood for fie present. In tic meanfime tic resuifs of our blood f ests came back, and if was discovered fiat one of the members of our group iad a liemoglobin count of only 71 %. Af tus news fie doctor looked grave. "I fiink you need ail flic blood you have," lie said, "and I would advise you f0 sec your own doctor about building up iron in your blood. Wc don't take anyone witi a ioemoglobin of lcss tian 80% - Howcvcr, fiank you vcry muci for voluntecring." Those of us who liad success- fully passcd ail fie tests made appoinfments to refurn flic fol- lowing week for tic actual trans- fusion. Wc were rcquesfcd not f0 caf fafs of any kind for ciglif hours before fie operafion, but f0 caf large quantifies of non-faf containing substances and to drink as muci fruit juice as pos- sible. Wien fie morning 0f fie ap- poinfment came, wc again enfer- cd fie clinic, ratier in fear and frembling, I musf admit. How- ever wc wcre again met by scv- eral nurses, one of wiom sug- gcsfcd a cup of coffec wiulc we waited. As we finislied our cof- fec, a volunteer attendant from tic I.O.D.E. led us f0 a drcssing room where we cianged into slecvelcss whife tunics. From here we wcrc taken to a disinfccfing room wicrc our arms werc wash- cd witi disinfectant. A nurse carefully took our femperatures and pu]scs and entercd fie results in lier file. At last wien wc wcre ready for tic transfusion, cadi of us was led f0 a separaf c cubicle. A nurse grccfed me at tic door and askcd me f0 lie down on an operafing table whici formed fie only furnishing of fie room. Sic ruli- bcd codeine on my arm and ap- plied a rubbcr tourniquet above fie clbow f0 make tic vein more prominent. Wien fie d o c t o r came, lic injccted a long needie in my arm but owing f0 fie code- me, I could nof feel if af ail. The needie was atfacied f0 a glass tube which cnded in a longer rubber one. I couid not sec fie end of fie rubbem tube but gati- cred fiat if led f0 tic receptacle for fie blood, which is aiways covcrcd from fie paficnt's view. Affer a few minutes fie doctor retumned, removcd fie needie (sf111 no feeling, owing f0 fie codeine) and painfed my arm wîth lodine, covcring fie liffle cut witi a bandage. At tus point I was aliowcd f0 rctumn to my fmiends, ail of wiom wcrc drinking coffee and munci- ing toast in a carefmee sort of way.
