Your Blood
The American Red Cross
Bloodmobile will be in Hertford
on Monday, November 27th' at
the Hertford Methodist Church
from 12:30 until 6 p.m.
Mrs. Nathan Sawyer,
chairman of the Perquimans
County Bloodmobile, stated that
blood is badly needed at this
time.
As most American have never
given any blood at all, the
record of Mr. Alfred Ross of
New York, 135 pints-nearly 17
gallons-is remarkable. The
white-haired musician has
passed his 66th birthday, the
cutoff for blood donation of both
the American Association of
Blood Banks and the American
Red Cores. He can give no
more, but he hopes that more
younger men and women will
continue to do so. "Anybody
who knows the need for blood
will give it," says Ross, who
plays the drums with the
touring "Disney on Parade"
show. "In every city", he adds,
"there are children, sometimes
whole hospital wards of them,
whose lives depend upon
regular blood transfusions.
They have Cooley's anemia,
leukemia, hemophilia and other
afflictions." -,
If four million people between
18 and 66 and in good health,
give Just two pints year, all
foreseeable blood needs can be
