For Freshman, 19
Six fellow students of 19-year-old
freshman Marx Hugh Deal
of Rockingham, answered a
olood-donation call last night re
quired to save him from an in
ternal intestinal hemorrhage at
tack at Duke hospital.
Miss Peggy Kimrey, labora

and his RH factor was negative.
"Deal needs blood immediately
and badly as there is very little
of this type blood left in the
Duke blood bank," said Dr. W.
G. Morgan.
Anyone having type "O" blood
with a negative RH factor is
urged to contact Dr. Morgan at
the infirmary, to phone F-428 or
his home, 9141, or call Miss Kim
rey at the infirmary laboratory.
A spot check can be made on
prospective donors who are not
sure of their type.
