MIRACLE OF BLOOD RED CROSS BLOODMOBILE You own the longest, fastest and busiest waterway in the world. That's your 60, 000 miles of blood vessels, through which blood circu lates completely every 30 seconds. Your bloodstream conducts a speedy, efficient pick-up and delivery service that makes the best-run railroad look like a scatterbrained tortoise. The blood collects life-sustaining materi als, delivers them where they're needed, picks up wastes, and drops them off at the proper dumping grounds. Never a mistake! You've got about six quarts of that useful red stuff, five in circula tion, one in reserve. When you donate a pint of blood, it's replaced from the reserve in a few hours, but it takes about seven weeks to build up another pint in the reserve again. The blood is so chock-full of chemicals, hormones, vitamins, sugar, protein, oxygen, red cells, white cells, platelets and what have you that it's a wonder it can move at all, much less zip around the way it does. Red cells carry oxygen around. White cells battle disease germs and mop up afterwards. Platelets help blood to clot. Quick loss of a quart or more of blood spells curtains, unless it's re placed fast by a blood transfusion. You can bleed to death from a major artery in less than two minutes. That's why heavy bleeding should be stopped first, even when an accident victim isn't breathing. He'll die faster from loss of blood than from lack of air. --Chatham Blanketeer IT'S IN THE BAG—IF YOU t STAY HOLIDAYS HONOR ROLL October Visit Plant #1: Frank Dingier Juanita Hobson Elmer J.

Fields Dwight L. Miller J. W. Snotherly INCOME TAX Q. A. I was just billed for a tax I've already paid. What should I do about it? Return the bill along with a copy of your cancelled check or money order. Frequently, IRS receives payments that cannot be identified and this might have happened in your case. Another possibility is that your payment was received too late in the processing cycle to make the necessary adjustment in the billing notices. A good practice to follow when paying a tax bill is to put your Social Security number on the check or money order and return the notice with your payment. -6-
