Emphysema Modern living and prosperity for all has resulted in a remarkable increase in emphysema, a lung disease that leaves its victims gasping for their breath. Once a rarity, it has emerged in the last decade as a major public health menace. In eight years, cases have increase 300% in California, for example. Dr. Irving Kass, a prominant physician at a Denver, Col., hospital, said recently: “In the older age group we know now that almost one-half of the people who come to post mortem examination have some emphysema.” When your air passages (bronchial tubes) are blocked, as by asthma or colds, etc., the small air-sacs in the lungs balloon and loss their elasticity. This means the blood can pick up less live-giv-ing oxygen, discharge less carbon dioxide waste. I The effect is, the patient, even at rest, pants for air, awake or sleeping. He may cough continuously. His life is a moment-by-moment struggle to take in oxygen. Each symphom to aggravate the other, and consequently both the congestion and emphysema grow worse. The person must give up working, and will need medical help to breathe — lung-clearing drugs and pure oxygen. Bronchitis, pneumonia, or ever a cold may then complicate the end, and the lungs or chest either give out, or the heart, greatly burdened by extra pumping, fails. There are two primary causes for the growth in this disease: smoking and air pollution. There are bills before Congress to control both. A proposed law would mark each package of cigarettes with the danger warning; another law, the Roberts - Neuberger “Clear Air Act” would move to end pollution of our air. We try to protect our health by purifying our sewage, but if we breather in death-dealing foreign particles from polluted air, industrial or in a smokefillled room, what have we gained?

Blood Donor Plan Here Since 1951

Next Visit Auk. 5 The Red Cross blood mobile will next call in Decatur, August 5. Donations will be taken from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Red Cross officials will begin soliciting for donors about July 29. Mrs. Ferris Sower, local director of the blood program, has already pointed out that a number of new donors are urgently needed because several regular donors have recently reached their 60th birthday. after which they are no longer allowed to give blood. Those interested in giving blood are asked to contact Mrs. Bower or the local Red Cross office. By Michael Thoele Eleven years ago two ministers got into an argument. It wasn’t a very big argument, as arguments go, and it was all in fun. But consequently, or at least subsequently, one of them and not the other became the first Decaturite to donate a pint of blood to the local Red Cross chapter’s donor program, which began in March, 1951. History, as preserved in the memories of local Red Cross officials, does not record the winner of the debate, but Rev. William C. Feller, pastor of the Zion United Church qf Christ, proudly recalls that he was “first on the table,” and ' ruefully remembers that “my blood was a little sluggish that day” and that, hence, Rev. A. C. E. Gillander, then paster of the Presbyterian church, was the first to fill his pint. And thus, despite the lack of a clearcut forensic victory, the Red Cross blood donor program was launched in Decatur and Berne. 6800 Pints Donated Since that time residents of the two towns have donated more that 6,800 pints of blood', enough of the'precious fluid to completely fill the circulatory systems of more than 550 adults. In those contributions in the American ledays Decatur donors made their gion home. Now the work is done in the Youth and Community Center. ’ » The bloodmobile unit calls three times a year in Decatur and twice in Berne. At each visit the quota is 125 pints of blood. Seldom has this goa( been missed. Several area donors have been giving blood throughout the eleven years since the program was begun here. Five of them, Charles F. Cook, Mrs. Don DeAfmond, Karl Hilty, Franklin Lybarger and Mrs. Arnold Ostermeyer, have g’iven more than four gallons. Mrs. Ostermeyer, with four gallons and six pints donated is only two pints short of the coveted five gallon mark. _ - —... ..... The local blood donor program was orginally organized by Mrs. Stewart McMillen. Roscoe Glendening was chairman of the Decatur Red Cross unit at that time. Mrs. Ed Bauer was the first chairman of the blood program and Mrs. Roy Price was Chairman of .the nurses aide group which assisted with the donations. Since then Mrs. Cletus Miller and Mrs. Ferris Bower have served as blood program chairmen. Mrs. Bower is the present chairman. The Red Cross blood program was organized on a national basis January 12, 1948. Today there are 52 regional blood programs serving 3,900 hospitals in 48 states and the District of Columbia. In Fort Wayne Region Decatur is a member of the Fort Wayne region, which oegan operations February 21, 1951, with offices and laboratories located at the Fort Wayne—Allen county Red Cross chapter house, The Fort Wayne regional office serves 1.5 million persons in 36 counties in northeastern Indiana and northwestern Ohio. Forty-two Red Cross chapters 'in this region cooperate to make the program possible. Each of the chapters holds regular blood collection days toi

THE FIRST FOUR blood donors at the opening of the Deqatur Red Cross blood program in March, 1951, relax just after making their donation. Left to right, Rev. William Feller, George Bair, Jr., Ferris Bower and Rev. A. C. E. Gillander. The Revs. Feller and Gillander had previously engaged in a mock disiiyte over who was to give the first pint, a question which was never conclusively decided.

keep a supply of fresh, whole blood available for their own use. The regional center collects and processes all the blood provided by its volunteer donors and maintains permanent records of, each pint of donated blood from the time it is drawn until it is finally used. A running inventory on the supply of blood on hand tn each hospital and in the center is also kept. Distribution System The distribution system for the donated blood is designed to function quickly and smoothly in emergencies. There are personnel on duty 24 hours a day at the regional center. When there are emergency calls for blood from hospitals outside of Fort Wayne, the state police, sheriffs’ departments and city officials of the area involved cooperate with the Red Cross by meeting the blood center driver halfway, transferring the blood to the police car and then rushing it to the hospifal where it is needed. ’ Blood and blood derivatives are supplied cost-free to any resident of the Fort Wayne Red Cross region. There is no obligation save a moral one to attempt to find voluntary donors to replace the blood which has been used. Donated whole blood can be kept for only 21 days. After that it is processed i n laboratories, where the liquid portion — plasma — is removed and used in the preparation of useful derivatives. Serum albumin ,a vital preparation in combatting shock in accident cases, is the most useful plasma by-product. ■’ Much research has been done in the area of blood by-products. Used as whole blood, eight pints will treat only eight persons, at the very most. If, however, this blood is not used within 21 days, the same eight pints can be separated into two-quarts of plasma and two quarts of tightly packed red cells. Many Derivatives From the two quarts rtf plasma can be derived: two 25-gram bottles of serum albumin, to fight shock; several packages of bloodgrouping proteins, to be used in determining blood types; twelve small bottles of gamma globulin containing disease-fighting antibodies; several packages of fibrin sponge or fibrin film, used to promote healing after brain and abdominal surgery; and thrombin, used to actuate the blood-clotting properties of fibrin. Thus, if eight persons walk into the Decatur Youth and Community Center during the next bloodtnobile visit and donate eight pints of blood, these eight pints,, if not used within three weeks, may then help treat the anemia of four to eight patients, prevent or relieve shock in two others, protect twelve persons from exposure to measles and be of,aid”in several other cases. In the end, more than 30 people may benefit directly . To continue Adams county’s part in this vital activity Mrs. Bower said this week that new donors are urgently needed. Regulations prohibit the Red Cross from accepting blood from donors over 60 years of age and several regu-

lar donors have recently been lost to the local chapter because of that stipulation. Some “young blood’ is urgently needed and Mrs.
