Paying tribute to the thousands of
Americans who have contributed blood
for the armed forces since the attack
on pearl Harbor,- the Army and Navy
today called on the public for even
greater support of the Red Cross blood
plasma project during the coming
year.
Since December 7, 1941, approxi-
mtaely 1,126,000 pints of blood have
been collected through the Red Cross.
Plasma processed from blood
donated through the Red Cross is with
our troops in North Africa, on Guadalcanal, on ships at sea, and throughout
the war zones, aud has saved the .lives
of hundreds of men wounded in battle.
On the basis of reports from medical officers, we have no hesitancy in
stating that the use of plasma for
emergency transfusions is beyond
question one of the greatest advances
in medical history in the past century.
Both the American public and the
American Red Cross have a right to
be proud of their record in supplying
blood for the armed forces, ami we are
looking to them for even- greater-
achievement during the coming year.
'A total of 2,880,000 pints of blood
has been requested from the Red
Cross by the Army and Navy since
the inception of the blood donor project early in 1941. Of this amount,
1,153,000 pints have been obtained to
date, and total donations are rapidly
approaching 50,000 pints a week.
The fifteen new centers opened during the past year brings to twenty-four
the number of cities in the project.
Blood is collected in the twenty-four
centers and thhrough mobile units,
which visit surrounding communities
within a radius of sixty miles.
Cities in which Red Cross centers
participating in the Army-Navy project are located are-—Indianapolis,
Milwaukee, New York, Brooklyn,
Buffalo, Boston, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Columbus, Harrisburgi Hartford, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rochecter, N. Y.,
Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, Schenectady, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and
Washington, D. C.

LAKE YOUNG MAN
WOUNDED IN THE
S0L0M0N1SIANDS
Pvt. Willard Gilman Tells
of Experiences With
U. S> Marines
The following article, received by
The Sentinel from ohr Lake correspondent, gives a litte'first hand information of the splendid work, the
United States armed forces .have done
in the Solomons.
Pvt, Willard Gilman, of the U. S.
Marines, came home last Wednesday
from the hospital at Mare Island, California, oa a thirty-day leave.. He was
five weeks in the Solomon Islands and
was shot in the ankle and leg in battle.
He now walks with a cane, but is
coming good.
Willard was in the first group to
land at Guadalcanal. The Japs were
right on their necks with their navy
on August 7th. He says, "We landed
240 men at Henderson airfield and
they held off the Japs for two weeks
before they got help.."
Willard was within forty feet of a
1,000 pound bomb, when it exploded
and knocked him out for about three
hours. He was also in a bayonet
charge, hit a Jap under the chin with
the butt of his gun, then, stuck the
bayonet through him. He says, *Tn one
drive we were in, 1,600 Japs attacked
the 240 Marines. 1,450 of the Japs
were killed and we lost two men. One
Jap dived into the river, swam under
water, threw a hand grenade in our
machine gun nest and killed the two
men there, but two "of the machine
guns turned on him and cut him In
two three times."
Perhaps you have noticed the picture of the torpedo in the papers that
is on shore in the Solomons, Willard
has been almost in touching distao.ee
of it several times.
He drove track part of the time.
On one trip he was about half unloaded when the Japs set the truck on fire
with a shot close by. Willard jumped
out over a ten foot bank. Just as he
let himself over the bank, the truck
blew up. He never got a scratch out
of that, but on September 18th' a Jap
machine* gun got him three time. The
worit wonj-Jrd»was in;'the-heel, but they
put Aj silver plate in. and he can walk
pretty well, only only it's a little stiff
yet.
He was in the hospital in New Zealand for about a month and was quite
interested in the New Zealand girls.
Willard says he sure likes the Marines
and is going back with his bunch as
scon as his ankle is well enough.
We feel very proud of Willard'*
success and good fortunae. Also glad
to be able to 'give a report on the
actions of our Marine, Willard Gilman.

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE
LONG DISTANCE CALLS
ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Bell Telephone Company Asks
That Lines Be Kept Open
for War Use
If you're the type who always long
distances "Aunt Nellie" on Christmas,
take it from the Telephone Company
. . . dori't do it this 'year. She might
think It's unpatriotic.
The Michigan Bell Telephone Company, is urging the general public to
restrain its long distance greeting
impulse this Christmas, pointed that a
similar plea is being made through-
Out the nation-wide Bell System. It's
all because, war calls must go
through promptly on Christmas, just
as on any other day.
"By now," said T» C, Maher, man--
ager for the company, "the necessity
for keeping telephone lines adequately
clear for war calls is pretty well known
all over the country. For that reason,
the long distance Christmas greeting
may not meet with the' appreciative
response in these war times that always greets the ringing of the telephone bell during peace-timei"
It's the first time in history that the
company has urged users to refrain
from making long distance calls on
Christmas. The. request is particularly urgent on "long-haul'; calls and
those beyond the borders of the state,
the company aaid.        • •
