Editor, The Citizen: More than a month ago city! henson council discussed, and appar- ently quickly forgot, an ordin- | afce requiring registration of persons with criminal records| upon their arrival in Key West. | The ordinance was approved, among others, by Capt. Russell! 8. Crenshaw, of the navy; Col.! G. D. Hatfield, of the marine} corps; Sheriff Berlin Sawyer and Capt. H. S. Seneff, of the road} patrol, | Inasmuch as the ordinance is! of vital importance to this city, I should like to recommend to city council and to the publi that the question be brought u again, discussed and made law. In my capacity as business agent of the carpenters’ union, | passage of the ordinance is of paramount importance to me, and through me, to the navy and na-! tional defense. Its advantage to Key West is obvious. Under the terms of the propos- ed ordinance, any man having a criminal record (a record of fel-| @ny conviction) would be requir- ‘ed to register with the police sta- itién within 24 hours of his ar- rival in the city. He would be finger-printed and the Federal Bureau of Investigation at Wash- ington would send his complete , record to the local law enforce- ment agencies. As union business agent, I am expected by the navy to know the men I send to work on de- fense projects, and it is assumed that I will not send there men whose conviction on _ felony charges has entailed their loss of citizenship. Obviously, with workmen pouring into Key West and with the contractors con- stently pressing my union for more men, I cannot know all of the carpenters, and it is impos- sible for me to tell with any ac- euracy whether they are or have been criminals. With the winter season ap- proaching and construction here mounting, it is time to consider and pass the ordinance. I feel sure the people of Key West and the Councilmen will’ agree: with! | CLARENCE HIGGS, Carpenters’ Union Business Agent. | Key West, Fla., Oct. 13, 1941.

It was first necessary to build up a large blood bank. At first this was done by get- ting fluid banks of each of the tional Blood Grouping. These banks were preserved under controlled temperature condi- tions—and were effective for a period of at least 12 days. 2. It was then found that if the blood was not used within the 12-day period the liquid portion of the blood (plasma) could be siphoned off and pool- ed into one large pool. Smaller this pool could be used without regard for blood types as the isoagglu- tines present in the blood are neutralized by pooling 3. Later it was discovered that if the plasma was frozen at a temperature below zero Fahrenheit and dried from the | Peupatste by, means of a high vacuum it’ could be stored for‘ds long as’ nine years. 4. Drying of the blood plas- ma from) complicated experi- ments in separating the cellu- lar elements cf blood under centrifugal force and the de- sire to solve the problem of reducing the bulk of material to be handled in shipment and under field or emergency con- ditions. The results have been most satisfactory, Captain Stephen- son pointed out. Dried plasma is now produced by the biological laboratories, packaged with the proper amount of distilled wa- ter to restore the essential fluidity and in its present form is available for immediate use under any possible condition of operation, either in hospitals or in the midst of the turmoil of battle or a bombing raid on a crowded city. “IT studied precise clinical re- ports in England and found that the technique is not only success- ful beyond expectations, but that it can be carried out under con- ditions of stress and strain on the part of the medical staff which | would at first appear impossible”, Captain Stephenson said y “The work has been removed from the experimental stage by being thoroughly demonstrated ; under most adverse conditions. This has been proved conclusive- ly by the British”. LIFE IS HARD Landlady—You will either pay the two months’ rent you owe or go today. Lodger—Thanks for the alter- native.
