I Red Cross Volunteers Laugh Off Their Fears Americans find some humor in almost any undertaking. Consider . the following anecdotes gleaned ! from the Red Cross publication, ■ "The Life Saver," in regard to the . Blood Donor Program: DONORS* BONERS . Our receptionist was talking to , "the" prospective donor, a lady of about 40. During the routine ques : tioning she was asked if she had [ ever had "Undulant Fever" (Undu . lant Fever is a disease usually con ! tracted from drinking unpasteuriz - ed milk.) . Miss Q. "Have you ever had "Un r dulant Fever, Miss J. ?" f Miss J. "What's that?" Miss Q. "A disease generally . known to lay people as "Milk Fev [ er." Miss J. "Oh, No.! Mam! I an't i never had no cause to, I'm an Old . Maid." I One rural donor on his way out remarked "Pshaw, I've lost more blood chasing rabbits through a briar patch." * * * i ] Our prospective donor was al ready on the table reclining in an : atmosphere conducive to relaxation, the strains of a piano hauntingly ' floated through the'air. Miss M. was standing over the donor ready to do the venipuncture. Mrs. C. was slightly nervous and in an attempt to put him at ease Miss M. said, "Is there any special song you would care to hear played?" 1, Mr. M. managed a nervous at | tempt to laugh and said, "Yeah, tell !, them to play "CARELESS HANDS." i The average automobile scrap ped today is IB years old and has , traveled nearly 90,000 miles.
