• We, The Women
By RUTH MILLETT
Something is wrong with this !
picture: On one hand we have
community after community ex- j
: cited and worried over the prob-
lem of increased juvenile delin-
| quency.
On the other we have fine girls'
organizations, like the Girl Scouts
and Campfire Girls, suffering
from .i lack of leaders to expand
their program to take in the thou-
sands of girls who would like to
i join.
What's wrong is that either a
great main women don't realize
j that providing leadership and rec- (
reatien for voting folks is even
more important in wartime than
m peacetime — or else a great i
many women are just plain lazy j
and not willing to take on the job
, of leading an organized group of
i young girls.
The first reason is probably the
real one. With all the talk of .
war. women forget that carrying
on the- work of established youth
organizations is vitally important.
But we mustn't forget. Keep-
ing young people busy; giving j
them a chance to help in the war
effort is a most important job.
Besides, the energy of these
young kids can bo made to really
| count in the war effort. Look at
what the Campfire Girls and Girl
Scouts have done. They have
collected tons of scrap, made
candy and cookies for the U.S.O.,
acted as messengers for the OCD,
Red Cross, rationing boards and
Anti-Tuberculosis leagues, sold
war bonds and stamps, made ,
bandages and dressings, and
learned baby care so that they
I can free mothers for volunteer
war work which can be handled |
; only by adults.
YOU CAN HELP
Any woman who is willing in
direct the energies of these young
I girls has a chance to contribute
directly to the war effort—as well
as to contribute toward solving
the problc mof juvenile delin-
quency.
No recognized organization of
young people should have to go \
begging for leaders—not in a time
when juvenile delinquency is j
sweeping the country like an epi-
demic.

PLASMA SAVES LIVES —On
land and sea, the lives of American
fighting men are being saved by Ked
Cross blood plasma. The upper pic
ture shows Navy pharmacist mates
learning the proper technique of
giving transfusions. Below, precious
blood is being shipped to a proves
sing laboratory in a specially built
refrigerated container.
By MRS. H. DAVIS
Toni gut while you iv>i>, >
Strang" cargo is thundering over
the rails of Arsenic's vast tians-
portation system, a cargo desti ;-
ed to save the live - of American
lighting men in North Af: ca. on
Guadalcanal, and throughout the
world.
In those speeding cars, packed
in heav.v refrigerator container.-,
are thousands of pints of human
blood. The blood of a nation, free-
ly given by volunteer doners—
collected by the American Red
Cross—is being rushed to com-
mercial laboratories to be pro-
cessed into life saving plasma
for emergency transfusions to
wounded soldiers, sailors, and
marines.
What is blooo plasma? How is
it obtained? How do people, do-
nate blood for the army and the
navy?
The answer provides n. of
the most fascinating chapter- in
modern medicine. For out ol a
small project launched by the
Red Crus-- in February’, 1941. at
the request of the army and navy
has come ‘he largest undertaking
in medical history. Already" V
000,000 pints ol blood have been
requested.
Within less than two years
blood doner centers have been
opened by 24 Red Cross chapters.
More than a million people have
given blood, and total donation
are coming in at the rate ol ap-
proximately 50,000 (lints a week.
This blood, processed into dried
plasma, is ‘-using lives through-
out the war zones Returning re-
cently from North. Africa, Mari
General James G. Magee, surgeon
general of the army, told ol a
case in which 400 men were bad-
ly burned aboard ship All except
six were saved. "Plasma," he
said, “gets the credit to a very
large degree."
Unfortunately it is impossible
for people in all parts of the coun-
try to donate blood for the army
and navy, because facilities for
collecting blood are limited by
technical factors to certain cities.
We in Borger cannot give our
blood, but we can, along with all
Americans participate in this
work through our generous con-
tributions to the Red Cross War
fund. This work is expensive and
requires a fuii sun i' of doclms ami
nurses, as well as refrigerators
and special sterile equipment.
Donating a pint of blood may
seem like a small thing, in a way.
Yet, as some has said, "It’s im-
portant." It’s not just the sense
of satisfaction one gets from do-
ing his part, or the little lapel
button the Red ( ross gives each
doner.
It's the fact that the blood rid-
ing the rails tonight may save

By DEWITT MacKENZIE
The unprecedented Anglo-
American bombing offensive
against western Europe has been
described by Captain Harold Bal-
four, British under secretary of
state for air, as "preparing the
way for United Nations forces to
invade Europe.”
The present devastating air at-
tack is calculated among other
things to serve these two vital
purDoses: <D It's ironing out
Bocho resources so that invasion
can be undertaken with as few
Allied casualties as possible.
'2' It's aiding both the Russian
drive and the United Nations op-
erations in Tunisia by keeping the
badly ha; ried Hitler ever un the
alert in western Europe.
Invasion Secret
Whether this aerial bombard-
ment presages an early invasion
of we-Urn Europe is the secret
of the high command.
Dining my recunt tour of the
v.ai theatres I found widespread
belief in high military quarters
that the only way Hitler can be
crushed without a protracted war
is by an Allied invasion of France
light across the English Channel.
The most powerful weapon left
to Hitler is his army, and that
-till possesses terrific strength de-
spite its losses in Russia We can’t
-ma h that army until we get it
into a corner and annihilate it.
It would be a great thing if
the second front cculd be open-
ed in France in the near future
to coincide with the slackening
< "t wh ih orosumably will come
. m the Russian drives as spring
turns the thousand mile eastern
front into a quagmire. Action in
the we t would force withdrawal
of Nazi troops and equipment
from the east. This would enable
the Bolshevists to recover from
:h"u tremendous exertions and
prepare for another grand offen-
i\>. And ii would prevent Hitler
from undertaking r.n onslaught
against the Russans as soon as
I the ground is dried out.
Steady Bombardment
Any invasion of the continent
must bo preceded by terrific and
| steady aerial bombardment over
a considerable period to destroy
industrial centers, supply bases
■ miii transportation facilities. Only
after such devastation can a great
army be put ashore from the
| channel without another Dieppe.
I have been assured that it
would be necessary to destroy
; only about 160 targets in western
- Europe and Germany to prepare
Hitler ! r the daughter. Actually
he could be sufficiently ham-
strung by the destruction of the
i fc'ity most important of these tar-
i gets.
