there are two Blood Donor pro
grams. Mr. Lovett said: "The Red
Crocs has been designated by the
Department of Defense as the of
ficial procurement agency for the
collection of blood for the armed
forces. Because there is a tremen
dous urgency to collect three mil
lion pints of bipod for use by the
armed forces, the Military came
into the-picture to help?'tne1Jted
Cross and to press upon ghc-gtehr
lie tttg/fectreme urgency ofjjhg. sit
uation." .flfce Red Cross Itffjt Ig re
ceiving no compensation,for,-he
lng as Blood Procurement agency
for the Armed forces, although It
is true that the Department of De
fense is paying part of the expense
of collecting and precessing blood
needed for our troops. The Red
Cross and the Military are work
ing together as a team In an ef
fort to get the blood necessary to
build up our supply of plasma
which has been dangerously de
pleted. The men In uniform will
also give blood in this drive, but
the bulk of it must, as always,
come from the civilian popula
tion."

tained for planting in Cherokee
County.
The rangers worked a total of
9,981 hours, traveled 9,312 miles,

many functions in interest of the
work. Seven newspaper articles

the private woodland owners in
Cherokee County and will strive
to better the growing conditions of
our private forests as we have done
