5AVi!. BY GIVING

One week-day afternoon. a petite elderly la~ whose cOWltenance betra­yed signs of recent distress and be­reavement slowly walked into~ Club headquarters. After making numerous courteous bows, she spoke in a sort solemn tone. "My late husband receiv­ed 26 pints of valuable blood through the kind.'1ess of the members 01' you r Club 100. Immediately following hio initial hospitalization. he show e d definite signs of recovery. H~ men­tioned from time to time that as soon as he could get around a little more 'I must attGnd a meeting of the Club

100 and thank each member personally for giving me strength in my hour of need.'" The brave woman while des­perately trying to suppress r... now of tears continued. "Unfortunately. h .. had to re-enter the hospital :;Uldp3SS­ed away before he could come to you. I am here in his behalf today.Elease convey our sincerest gratitudetoyour members for their tremendous help. "

There are other cases of this sort in our blood bank file, indica­ting that this mutual assistancepro­Ject has greatly aided your friends of the lOOth and their loved on es. The dollars and centa our budd i e s have saved through your blood dona­tions run into tive figures.

Ma~ ot us have sat back and watched lackadaisically while 0 u r paesans served as donors to lessen the plight of more unfortunatG p. r­sona. But. no hot toot applicatio n is needed to aWaken us to the tact that the time may come soon when yru or your !oyed ones may be direct 1 y sulken a square blow by OldMtn Cal_ amity.

Our Blood Bank reserve is LOW today because the cry tor help h 8 S been coming to us week atter week in a steady stream.
