A COMMUNICATION
“During my recent illness my
surgeon found it necessary to give
me several blood transfusions. 9
pints o-p blood were supplied by the
Fed Cross Blood Center in Ashe
ville, without charge. Anyone who
has been through a long. hospital
experience will appreciate what
it can mean to be spared this ad
ditional heavy expense—to say
nothing of having the right type
of blood so quickly available. And
anyone in my position would feel
as I do—very grateful to the many
volunteer donors whose willing sac
rifice makes this Blood Program
possible.” Mrs. Ruth Shelley.
