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.

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.
