Blood Plasma Has Saved Thousands of Lives. “In the half light above the Operating table hung a glass jar, inverted, its amber contents opaque against the shadows. Through a tiny tube drops of the jar’s fluid were dripping into the patient’s veins â€"- drops of blood plasma dissolved in sterile water. As the jar’s level dropped and its contents entered the wounded man, his color changed perceptibly from bluish white to pinkish and then to solid, healthy flesh color. The blood of some unknown donor back in the States was pouring life into a young marine. The patient moved slightly on the hard table and breathed deeply.” The above quotation is taken from an article in a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post uthentic account of what happened opinion has bee to know that thousands of young Canadian unidiorq who died on the fields of France and th know that thousands of 3 soldiers who died on the field: Flanders might be alive today. " lulluVIU 'I' C'_' Surely these blood clinics have justified themselves. Surely it is not asking too much from those of us at home who can qualify. to donate our blood that the lives of our soldiers may be saved. Surely it should need little or no persuasion to have our citizens come for- ward and offer their blood at the next clinic to be held in Durham on Thursday, the 14th of A Liberal member of the House of Commons objects to the use of the word “Zombie” in reâ€" ferring to members of the Canadian Defence Army. The word is not at all complimentary, and while no very clear definition is to hand it it a voodoo word of censure, and not even the least bit polite. LL:_... THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1944 [C(Xn‘t- Uly Irv---- - The Ottawa member may have something. The Chronicle has never used this word in re- ferring to our draftee army. believing that if nsure is deserved, it is the baby of the gov- In the early days of the war the clear there would be s service; they made it clear that if a young man did not care to en- list he didn‘t have to; that if he were drafted into the armed services it would be for defence purposes only, and not for service in Europe. The right or wrong of this principle is not our affair. While we have our own ideas, and believe conscription at the start was the only safe and fair recruiting system, this has not been done, and the fat is in the fire. Despite what some of the members at Otta- vwa say, the need for reinforcements is urgent. The need for these reinforcements is above any party politics we may have. There has been, CB ernment. government made it very w. have turned out Lk‘ munitiona and other sup- -' 31.06 for 911 plies in quantities almost unbelievable. We have sent overseas some of the finest fighting units in any man’s army. We have consistently backed them in war loans, and War Services contributions. That is, the people of this land have stood behind the war effort â€"- all of it. We are sorry the same cannot be said about our politicians, who have played the political game pretty steadily and whose mind seems to be on the‘ result of the next election rather than on the reinforcing of tired fighting units be on the result of the next election rather than on the reinforcing of tired fighting units overseas. The evidence that our troops are in dire straits overseas is too conclusive to be passed off by the statement of one member of parlia- ment who was overseas, but who said at Ottawa the other day that there were plenty of rein- forcements. Many of them have, and no doubt many more will. But it is up to themselves what they do. They have done everything the governmenthas asked. They took the government at its word and did not enlist until called up. We had thought that experiences in the last war would have taught us a lesson but it did not. One can make few promises in war-time. One cannot say that the war will be long or short, easy or hard. It does seem, though, that with help so hard to get, and the improbability that Canada will be invaded some of these drafted troops instead of occupying camps all over the country could be returned to the farms and industry to reâ€" lieve the hardships in these businesses. Central Death Chamber Advocated For Province. The hanging of three of the four young men guilty of what is known as the “hot-stove” murder took place at-Fort Frances yesterday. Why the fourth participant had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment we donot know as the murder was one of the most dastardly ever to take place in Ontario. An aged lady was practically fried to death on a hot stove to make her divulge where she kept her money. and quite naturally the residents of that town did not relish the notoriety of having such a neck-tie party in their rvidst. We can’t blame them, but the hanging hlld to take place some- where and Fort Frances is the place where the sentence was handed out. L1 J u Vuuuvw--.__. There should be no mercy for four youths who attempt to rob a poor, defenseless old lady and place her on tap of a hot stove to make her tell where her money is. No doubt these young men had previous records, and had been let off time after time. Somehow or other we rather like that California law which says that a four-time loser must be sentenced to life im- prisonment. Some people seem to have made up their minds to live lives of crime. They taken out of society. It would save gasoline, tires, and the energies of the police force. It would be gratifying to the local commit- tee, but more-so to the boys in the front lines, if Durham and District blood donors would set a new high record next Thursday. THE DURHAM, cast that an extension of the life of parliament was more likely than dis- solution came from a Liberal senator -â€"Norman Lambertâ€"as the Upper House debated the government’s pol- icy on conscription and reinforcements last week. Specially written for The ChronICIe â€" A_‘-‘ The life of parliament expires April 16, and Senator Lambert’s prediction provoked the retort from Senator F. B. Black (PCâ€"New Brunswick) that he (Senator Lambert) was “sadly mis- taken” if he believed the country “will stand for any prolongation of the life of parliament.” As debate in the senate swung re- inforcements to elections, it appeared probable that the government would have considerable support for its vote of confidence motion. It is considered that Col. J. L. Ralston’s decision to support the government had consider- able weight with members. Canadian Press Stair Writer Col. Ralston, who broke with the government when his recommendation that Canada’s 68,000 home defence? troops be sent overseas was not accep- ted, resigned as defence minister and was succeeded by Gen. A.G.L. Mc- Naughton, who held the‘view upon as- suming office that voluntary enlist- ments would meet the deficiciency in reinforcements for the Canadian Ar- my overseasaâ€"a shortage particularly in infantry.
