Millions have now had the experience of donating blood either

Blood cannot be given indiscrim-
them instantly available. In the
treatment of ‘shock, the emergency may be so great that min--utes are precious. The advantage inherent. in hav-
| ing a stock on hand is, heretofore,
obvious. In shock due to injury or burns, the blood cells are not lost from the body, but are stagnant within the circulatory system. The addition of plasma or serum in sufficient quantity may be thought of as refloating the cells.
_ Serum Confers Immunity
Another use for blood takes advantage of the immune substances built up in the blood of those who have recovered from certain dis-"
_ eases. The transfusion of blood
or serum from those who have recently recovered from measles,
. scarlet fever and infantile paraly-
sis, enhances the recipient's immunity. (. It may be used to prevent the disease from developing in those who have been exposed, or render the disease less severe after it has developed. ; ' "Convalescent is not always available, but it has been found that a considerable degree of immunity is conferred by the ise of pooled serum obtained from many adults, especially if they are city dwellers.. - The natural immunity or that. developed by unrecognized infection makes this blood about 25 per cent as eeffective as convalescent blood, and the greater supply makes it pos-
sible to give a greater volume.
any aspects of this problem of blood transfusion remain to be explored, and many additional uses for blood will ‘probably be developed in the future. In hemorrhage, shock, and burns, the use of blood, plasma, or serum is’ dramatic” in ‘its life-saving qualities, and under these conditions, there is no’ substitute.

der of the city from the mayor." The ancient city lay in ruins. Re-
spilled out into the streets of the main square. : Patrols Move On
had lost most of their possessions, greeted the British troops with hysterical shouts of “Viva” in scenes of welcome which I had not seen since the allied entry into Tunis,
Montgomery's spearhead was held up at. dusk last night by pillboxes at the southern approaches of the city, He sent patrols into Catania itself during the night. Then at dawn today the British advanced through the milling, screaming, clapping men, women and children to the northern out-
defense post in Sicily. Steps Up Pressure
on the line south of Mt. Etna became desperate yesterday, and they began a withdrawal from the Catania area into the hills. Montgomery had stepped up the pressure and the defenses began collapsing after about two weeks of stalemate. The Germans were reported to have spent the last \five days packing the houses and buildings of Catania with mines and booby: traps. But as I drove through the: city, the people waved me through back alleys and side streets to avoid the mined areas and road blocks where buildings had spilled into the streets. I had to honk my horn continuously as I edged slowly through the hysterical crowds. They were screaming with delight, and there was nothing phoney about it.
_ Beg for Food
An unshaven man sweating from excitement and waving his arms, leaped onto the running board and clutched the hand of my conducting officer with both his, then kissed it passionately. The people begged for food. As I write this in, my car on the main square, gray-haired, oliveskinned Sicilian women. and little children gre chattering and waving |& their ‘arms. They want biscuits, chocolate, cigarets, ‘Some people are clambering through the ruins. Apparently they. are returning to the city, because many are burdened with huge bundles, blankets, cooking pans, and, occasionally, even mattresses. . The city was taken : without a shot, though patrols who felt their way cautiously toward it last night met desultory machine gun fire at the southern suburbs. The last Germans fled during the night, and were believed to have retreated to positions in the mountains overlooking the coast 18 miles to the north.

Nazis Leaving Sicily
The Germans are now reported pulling out non-essential forces from Sicily, but Italy may yet present the allies with. the opportunity of cutting off. a. certain number of Nazi units based in the south. ‘Meantime, some idea of what efforts. are required to lay on and sustain a heavy air bombardment was given here by a royal air force spokesman. Night attack on the scale of the Hamburg onslaught requires 5600 trained'crews over the target and a total of 100,000 men, altogether, engaged in planning and servicing planes between operations. Comparable figures for 8th air force daylight operations on the present scale — which is steadily mounting—are 4000 over the target (or “escorting fighters) and a total of between 60,000 and 70,000 persons engaged. This represents an effort equivalent to that put out by 10 land divisions.
