Grief Jones, captain of the Rescue
Squad, said “The Rescue Squad is glad
to give assistance again to the Blood
Program by sponsoring the visit on Oc
tober 29. Our members firmly believe
in the program and are aware of the
vital need for such a service in the Tri-
Cities. We intend to work hard in the
recruiting of donors and confidently ex

contributed.”
Blood Program officials said “at least
150 pints” are needed on the October 29
visit in order to maintain blood collec

of blood for Tri-City people. Blood is
being used at an average rate of 157
pints every two months, which means
that the Bloodmobile needs to collect
at least that amount on each bi-monthly
visit.
The recruiting of donors for the Oc
tober 29 visit will be concentrated in
the Central Area, including Fieldcrest’s
General Offices building where every
employee is to be contacted.

venience of those who live or work in
that section, donors are expected from
