The Beautiful Gift of Life
by Wendy E. Michel
Most people overlook the
most wonderful gift they can give -
blood. To some people in need this
gift could mean many more birthdays.
What could possibly be better?
The American Red Cross has
asked if Louisburg would take a few
minutes to give this beautiful gift on
Thursday, February 22. The Bloodmo-
bile will be on campus from 12:00 -
4:30 in the afternoon. The Red Cross
is in dire need of blood at this point
and begs those who can give to do so.
CLC will be sponsoring the event.
The word "emergency" is not
used much at Red Cross but there is no
other word for the desperate need they
have. This need also includes all of
us. Tlie blood being given might help
someone you know or love. Who
knows when our friends or relatives or
ourselves might need it?
The amount of units in total
that the Red Cross has access to is
2207, while the amount actually
needed is 4257 units. Nearly twice as
much! As you can see, blood is des
perately needed. If you have never
given before then you need to know
that the whole process takes about one
hour of which only 6-12 minutes is
actually giving blood. For those of you
who have given, you know just how
easy it is and what a wonderful feeling
you get from giving life.
There is absolutely no risk of
getting a disease, and what can you
lose? Please think it over and if you
