140 BLOOD DONORS NEEDED SEPT. 12
^loodmobile Coming To Spray;
^Pecial Efforts Being Made To
^®tch Up With Area Quota
Special efforts are being made to se-
^Ure 140 donors for the next visit by the
“loodmobile in order to get in balance

the Tri-City area.
The Bloodmobile is to be stationed at
Luke’s Episcopal Church (Rock

The eight-man squad plus one alter
