Gorder, Chairman of the Andrews American Red Cross Blood pro gram, announces that the Blood indbile will be in Andrews at the City Hall, Tuesday, June 27, be tween the hours of 12:00 noon and ?:30 p. m. The goal set for tbis visit of the Bloodmbbile is 200 units of blood. Tbis rather high goal has been set because the hospital has already used over 200 p!nts of blood in the six months since the Andrews Red Cross j started participating in the pro-1 gram. Dr. Van Gorder feels that ?he goal can be reached if each and every family that has received tree blood will take it upon them selves to put back into the bank the blood that they have received, even though they are in no way obligated for what they have re ceived. All of the churches and organiza tions of the Andrews, Marble, and fopton Area are participating. The Konnaheeta Club is in charge of handling appointments, and the Junior Woman's Club is in charge ' of the canteen.
