BLOOD BANK NEXT WEEK
The Bloodmobile comes to the
Parish House for its quarterly
visit Wednesday, March 25, from
12:30 to 6:30. Polk County must—
and will—turn out in greater num
bers than ever, for never has the
incentive been so strong. Shells are
still bursting in Korea, spilling
American blood on alien soil; vet
erans are still living out weary
years in hospital, undergoing one
operation after another to l’ebuilt
shattered bone and flesh; civilian
hospitals still keep up the fight
to save the lives of the injured
and critically ill. For all these
tragic situations , there is one
desperate need—for the blood of
more fortunate men and women
still blessed with health—YOUR
blood, which can so often spell
the difference between life and
death.
Yes, the old demands are as
urgent as ever. And this time
comes a new need—the need for
many additional pints of blood to
be processed into Gamma Globulin,
so that this summer’s small polio
victims may be spared the brutal
after-effects of paralyzed legs,
arms, and backs, and so that
paralyzed breathing systems will
no longer snuff out bright young
lives. What a goal that is. And
how well-worth some small sacrifice
from each of us.
If every healthy man and wo
man in Polk County, between 18
and 59, were to say, “This I can
do—and tin's I will do,” the Coun
ty would have reason to feel such
pride as it has never known. And
what an easy way to save lives
An hour or so of your time—a
little visiting with your neigh
bors—a painless prick of J a
needle. Then a refreshing snack
and a cup of coffee, and home
