Everything is in readiness for the second visit this fiscal year of the ' bloodmobile which will be in Hertford Monday, Febrm ary 27,: at the Methodist Church between the hours of 12 noon and 8 .o'clock. . In appealing to blood donors to support this program, Tal mage Rose, Jr., chairr-an of the county ' committee said: ' t l"Six months ago the blood mobile was in this county and a quota of 100: pints was almost reached. . However, we did fell a little short. ' This statement has a familiar ring to it In years past this county remained almost oh the bottom of the list as far as blood donors werej concerned, a oom 1 wo years ago this chapter was informed that we had to 'put up or shut up', using a ' time-worn expression. The people of this county . put up' wonderfully, realizing , how vitally important this program is. Since that '. critical period you have responded each time the bloodmobile came to -this county. "In order for us to. make our yearly quota we must . receive a minimum 1 of 104 units this time. Much time, labor, and ex pense goes into the preparatiion for each - visit Such prepara tions are justified only if YOU come and are a donor in this life-giving program. The BI004 Cnter"will b set UP 9l 15 Fiwuyethodiat C.hurch in Hertford and willbegin re ceiving donors at, 12 o'clock noon and will continue 'until 6 o'clock P. M., on Monday, February 27. Doctors and nurses will be m attendiance at all times. The process is virtually painless and takes only a short time. You will , receive a free examination as to condition of heart, blood pressure, and blood. If you are not physically fit, ycAr wiM be so . advised . and possibly at the next visit of the bloodmobile you will be able "to 'become a donor. You may -become a blood donor if you are between the ages of 21 and 59! although those between the ages of ' 18 and 2 may (be donors if they have written parental consent , Excellent -refreshments will be "served' to donors. If you reside in (town and., desire transports tiori to the f blood center, call either 2321 or 35311;' Mark this date on your calendar and when you come, bring a friend.- You U pat the First Methodist Church proudly." , &i3ll2stsfcT:d Rotery Frcsi-int ; Erie Haste, " Jr., has. been elected president of the5 Hert ford Rotary Club for the . year beginning July 1, to succeed out going president, .James Divers.
