Lee has slash- ed all items for public health, Stunned members of the board learned over the weekend from Commissioner Ernest Ramsey, DESIGNATED FOR ACTIVI- their representative at the Tal- lahassee confab, that Lee had given tentative approval to six mills for ordinary expenses and one for the Boca Chica airport. Last year’s budget was set up at 31 mills, and was far over- spent, while the absolute mini- mum worked out by the com- missioners for this vear was 11 mills, Payments each Friday after- noon to relief clients, sponsor- ship of the WPA sewing room,’ operation of the ‘county clinic and the employment of Dr. J. B. Parramore, all came under Lee's axe as the half-mill for public health and two mills for WPA sponsorship were carved from the tentative budget. ~ Boca Chica Saved ~ Ramsey said Lee was ready to chop off the one mill for the Boca Chica airport bonds along with the rest, but decided later | that he would permit that ex- penditure as “the will of the people”, since it was voted upon and approved in a_ freeholders’ election. Lee’s action, although unex- pected in its severity, was not entirely a surprise, since the state law requiring valuation on a 100 per cent basis provided that the counties must cut their millage in direct ratio to the value in- crease. Thus, Monroe county’s 5.03 per cent increase in valua- tion meant that the millage rate had to be cut 503 per cent from last year’s figure. Commissioners today said they do not see how it will be pos- sible to run the county on the amount of money allowed them tentatively by Lee, for, in addi- tion to the millage slash, the board members are certain that (Continued On Page Four) * (Special to The Citizen) | _EAST NORTHFIELD. | Mass.

SHOCK DUE TO INJURY | i | | (Special to The Citizen) | WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Use {of dried blood plasma for emerg- ency field administration to suf- lferers from shock due to injury |and loss of blood has been highly effective in saving life that would jotherwise have been lost, accord- jing to the report made to the jsecretary of the navy today by ; Capt. Charles S. Stephenson | (Medical Corps), U.S. Navy. | Captain Stephenson has just ‘ {completed a seven-week tov: of inspection of bomb-torn England, in which he visited the great re- : | “Mi search — centers of Oxford, - | UITING - MEN: idge,” University of a, | University of Edinborough, Uni- {versity of Glasgow and other ‘medical centers. The tour was i made in cooperation with the Na- ‘tional Research Council, of |which Captain Stephenson is thi jRavy’s representative, the Med- ical Research Council of Great {Britain and Canadian Research ; organizations. Captain Stephenson stated that the biological laboratories of the United States have equipment for processing blood and pre- iparing dried plasma. These lab- oratories are now preparing sev- ‘eral hundred packages each week and within a month they will be; able to process several thousand pints of blood each week. The Teal problem in the United States is to develop 4 sufficiently large} list of blood donors to permit the work to be carried out ef- ! fectively. ; Captain Stephenson traced the jdevelopment of the procedure | for building up a large reserve :of dried plasma for use in civil catastrophes and in time of war. {This reserve, he said, must -be {developed and perpared in ad- ivance, so as to be ready for im- mediate use when the emergency ‘arises. Seven Cities Aid The American Red Cross is conducting a program for build- ing up a blood plasma bank for fuse of the armed forces of the jnation, with sufficient reserve |for civilian catastrophe aid. The |program has been established in jseven cities and is soon to !expanded to a total of 22 chap- ‘ters. The American Red Cross already has completed a bank of 115,000 blood plasma units and ex- |pects to build the initial bank to } 200,000 units. “In England the blood and {blood plasma bank has been the [means of saving thousands tlives of civilians, who would jhave died had it not been pos- [sible to have adminstered the j blood plasma under field condi- jtions”, Captain Stephenson said. “It has been of ¢remendous val- jue in military operations, both in {the fiekis and in the hospitals {where the wounded have been j taken”. Due to the deliacy of the op- pets involved in regard to ; having proper blood types avail- table and in developing a tech- ! nique which could be carried out under the hectic conditions of the battle field or in a bomb- j torn city, the major problem at jfirst was to perfect both a jmeans of handling the blood swiftly | bank and the stored blood and , blood plasma and to evolve and Berlin war bulletins varied down on Moscow from the north-! methods of handling the blood sharply today as the Reds de- ¢lared thousands of reserves have | Poured into action to stop the —. 2. have checked the three! , West. 140 miles away.
