Last year 30,000 donations of blood were given with many donors giving regularly every eight weeks. Since that time the war has spread and grown in intensity.. More clinics must be opened. and the objective for this year is 5,000 donations a week which will require 75,000 donors. Connaught Laboratories in Toronto where the whole blood is processed has increased its facilities to take care of additional donations. Tbe‘ blood of five donors is needed for one average transfusion, so the need is great. A reserve of serum must be built up for the hazardous days In blood donor clinics stretching clear across Canada, thousands of loyal Canadians are giving their blood to help save the lives of the men in the fighting Forces and civilian victims of the blitz. . s One of the great medical discoveries of this war has been the method of processing whole blood into dried serum, by a freezing and deâ€"watering process which converts the blood plasma into a powdered serum which can be stored on ships, at the scene of battle or in hospitals indefinitely. ferred into the vein of an injured person regardless of blood type. The procedure of giving a donation is painless, and a man in average good health between the ages of twentyâ€"ope and fifty will have practically no possibility of ill effect. ( The d;-velopment of dried serum has simplified transfusion. Mixed with a little sterilized water this powdered blood plasma can be transâ€" Blood is being collected in some twentyâ€"five cities across the Doâ€" minion. Soldiers, sailors and airmenâ€"women and children of the blitz areas, need this restorative whenever disaster strikes. It takes only a few minutes of the donor‘s time, but it means life itself to a gravely wounded person. The war has emphasized the need in Britain for a greatly enlarged program of health education for the nation, the Very Rev. Peter Bryce, D.D., writes in The Toronto Daily Star. The definite tendency is toward the extension of health services for the people, and with a much greater responsibility resting upon the state. . By orderâ€"inâ€"council, the Canadian government in February, 1942, appointéd an advisory committee to investigate the question of health insurance, and it is to be hoped that the opportunity will be used to plan the framework of a really broad scheme within the bounds of which it may be possiblel to attack the basic health problems of our Donrinion. In the past 25 years there have been many. advances in social service in Canada, including the passing of the Workmen‘s Compensaâ€" tion Act, which became law in 1915, the Mothers‘ Allowance Act, 1920, the Old Age Pensions Act, 1929, and the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1940. National Health Insurance is another inevitable progressive measure of public welfare, > The second mlinf\ which has been made and which perhaps some of you heard over the radio on the "Farm Hour" this week that it is an offense to destroy in any way any jute or cotton b.&'e Sometime ago I warned you of great shortage of this material and that if you had any bags not in use you should try to get them into the hands of feed dealers or secâ€" «ondhand bagu‘dealm. It is imm sible to get the necessary supp! of jute from India and cotton spinâ€" ners are so busy that a mmcfegt Describing introduction and functioning of the Health Insurance Act in Great Britain, Dr. Bryce says that in 1911, Mr. Lloyd George introduced the outline of a National Health Insurance Act for Britain. Despite violent opposition from various sources the proposed measure became law in 1913. After nearly 30 years of operation it is generally agreed that the act works well, and that it is of distinct advantage to both the doctor and the insured person on his list or "panel" as it is termed. The Session is nearing its close and there is a possibility that this will be my last letter to you. In these letters I have tried to keep you informed of the activities of Parliament, and in touch with rules and régulations which are not passed by Parliament but by one of the numerous Boards set up in Ottawa. They are not debated in Parliament, so we know nothing about them until such time as the Orderâ€"inâ€"Council. is brought down. These numerous regulations vitally affect our everyday life and unâ€" wittingly we may be violating some of them because the newsâ€" papers themselves do not carry much about them. PAGB TWO National Health Insurance has its critics, but they are not deâ€" manding its curtailment or abandonment, but rather its extension. They contend that the measure is now too limited in its application. They call for its enlargement to take in the dependents of insured persons, which would bring within its scope nearly 90 per cent. of the popuâ€" lation. There are indications that this sweeping amendment to the law may soon come to pass, also that the medical service may be extended to include more than that provided by a general medical practitioner. There are two matters particuâ€" lariy which I wish to bring to your attention. The first is the new ruling of the Wool Board. All those who have wool for sale are definitely warned to get it into the grading stations as soon as posâ€" sible as the hoarding of wool is an offense and punishable. As you are no doubt aware there is a shortage of wool in Canada . and all available supplies are needed. In fact in the Maritimes wool must be delivered immediately to the grading stations as these stations are going to be closed very shortly. supply of cotton bags is not availâ€" abie. In the past many a bag has been cut up for aprons or doorâ€" mats. This is now an offense unâ€" der the regulation. If you have supplies that you do net require, get them into circulation or if temâ€" porarily you wish to store them for future use, be sure to hang them on a wire so that rats or mice canâ€" not get at them. We can look forward to m.rckz more | drastic reg:nlaï¬ona wh will interfere with our everyday life. It is almost impossible to realize that there can be shortages in so many things which always appeared so plentiful. It would be well, therefore, to listen e.l'du‘g to md‘-'i.l broadcasts and wa PA your y papers so as to keep touch with these regulations.
