Those Wishing To Contribute Blood
May Do So At The Atlanta Center
Local Rod Cross officers have!
been asked many questions as to !
why the local chapter does not
participate in the blood donor
program. The following explana- 1
tion is Riven by the regional di
rector;
"There arc blood donor cen
ters in 32 cities in the U. S. These
cities are chosen because of their
proximity to the commercial lab
oratories which the Army has
I contracted for procesing the blood
obtained through the Red Cross
donor centers. Prom these centers
| mobile units operate witfhin a
radius of not over 100 miles. The
nearest center to Cherokee County
In in Atlanta. Ga.. 125 miles away.
This is too far for the mobile
equipment to attempt to operate.
"All blood received by these
mobile unite must be gotten back
to the centers each evening to te
repacked and shipped to the com
mercial laboratory closest to the
' center. It is posible that a num
ber of citizens of Cherokee and
surrounding counties might wish
to vsit the Atlanta blood donor
center for the purpose of making
blood contributions. They should
make advance arrangements."
The summer squashes are quick
cooking vegetables. You can sim
mer them tender in about 15
minutes in a sauceoan with not.
too much water. Season with
salt, pepper, butter of substitute,
or cream. Some people like onion
in squash: cheese is good .and
also hard cooked egg that has
been chopped.
