Blood Committee Makes AsaLEor iMri,r"B".DaI''l Talmage Rose, chairman of, the Perquimans County Red Cross bipod : program committee, announced the bloodmobile is to be in Hertford on that day for the purpose -of receiving blood needed to continue the program whichf provides transfusions for hospital patients. . i This visit of the bloodmobile, according to Rose, is being sponsored by members of the Parkville; Ruritan Club. These members' ; have been working hard, along with the blood com mittee, to elevate the county's position in this district. The Red Cross has assigned Perquimans County a quota of 200 pints of blood each year as its, part in the overall program. Thus far, the county has failed to contribute its lair share; and unless more- people support this program the county stands to lose its participating position. The bloodmobile will be lo - cated at the Municipal Building on Monday from 12 noon to 6 o'clock. The committee urges all residents of the county to turn out as donors for this visit. Refreshments, furnished by the county's Home Demonstration Clubs, will be served by mem bers of the Eastern Star. The committee, according to Mr. Rose, has issued a strong appeal to the residents of the county to join in and help Per quimans County retain this pro ( gram. .
