ELI STUDENTS DONATE BLOOD
$50 Students Each Offer Pint to Mobile Unit of
 Red Cross

New Haven, Nov. 1l-During the first three days of this week. some $50 Yale students are giving pint of blood each to the recently or- ganized Mobile Unit of the Amer lean Red Cross Blood Donor Serv- ice from Hartford.
 The Department of University Health on the campus is the first stop of the new unit which includes a truck carrying complete equip ment for setting up a blood donor center and an especially trained staff of doctors and nurses. The unit will devote the rest of the week to receiving donations from volun- teers in the city at the parish house of the First Methodist church in New Haven, and then plans to visit cities and towns in Connecticut and western Massachusetts.
 The blood collected by the unit will be shipped to New York where 1t will be converted into dried blood plasma and sent by the Red Cross to United States ships and, fighting forces operating in Atlantic and Pa ctfic war zones. Plasma transfu- sions were an important measure which helped to save lives at Pearl Harbor, and the Red Cross has been asked for a total of two and a half million donations in order to keep the armed forces supplied.
 Expressing the belief that the Hartford Mobile Unit will make periodic visits frequently in the fu- ture, pr. orville F. Rogers. chair man of the Blood Plasma committee of the New Haven Chapter of the American Red Cross, and director of the Department of University Health at Yale, said that he hoped volunteers from both the university and the city again would have the opportunity of making their joint contribution to supply the blood reservoir of the Red Cross.

be after him this time. But /
wasn't too easy in the old mind
when / tried to figure what would
happen when they found the
game had slipped them.
Probably that was the way it
would have worked out without
trouble if something hadn't hap
pened that put them on the blood
trail again.
The moon lacked into a cloud
II got the impression of a lot OF
movement going on outside. The
firing started up again. l let off
the old pump-gun out the back
window, by the way of warning.
From what I could make out.
Maurie Sears was doing his best
TO hold them. He called:
Nom! Juddy! Are you coming
out?"
Juddy didn't answer. Maurie
was hurrying up and down, now
trying to be everywhere at once
There were scattering shots again
couldn't see him now. Somebody
yelled,
My God! They've got Sears!"
who did it?"
"One of those rats in there"
The low mutter went through the
crowd and got deeper and savager
like nothing human. 1t went down
my spine like dripping ice. 1 knew
then it was life-and-death now for
Doc anyway, If they thought he fired
the shot. So did he know, / guess.
A bunch Of them came out OF
cover and carried something to-
ward the house. Doc opened the
door enough for a look-see. No
body was coming our way. Doc
said
"Juddy!"
She went over TO him.
This may seem a queer time to
say it. But I don't want you to
think that cheated you"
She put out her hands to him.
ooh, Lorent' she said.
He held out his arms. She came
into them sif she belonged there.
But it wasn't what she expected.
He swung her out through the
dor and barred it behind her.
She turned and beat at the heavy
logs like crazy thing until some
young chaps ran up and dragged
her away. They loked to me like
Welliver boys. o. K. We'd have
some friends in the crowd when
1t came to a showdown.
That's better" Doc said.
Il don't know, Doc" / said to
him. Maybe you ought to have
let her stay"
I'D do the same to you if
were big enough" he said,
Everything was so quiet outside
we could hear them calling from

I'D hate to be the guy that did

Blythe was young enough 10 re-
spond in a measure. They walk
ed across to the Lincoln Inn and
had lunch together. They talked
of the u. S. o. dance scheduled
for tonight, Thursday.
Il gotta be in bed at 1, so be
ready before 8, hmm" he beg
ged. THAT way / won't miss a
minute with YOU"
"We'll leave at 10. Even if
Pop did permit the dance for a
letdown in tension, he'll have to
build you fellows up again with
stiff practice tomorrow. You
have to Sleep"
Norman grinned, facing her,
close. You're cute" he MUIR
INJURED. Cute as pie!"
1t would have thrilled many
girls, Blythe knew, but it didn't
thrill her for handsome Norm
Dana to be SO attentive. She lik-
ed him, but she could never,
never love him.
She went to the U. S. o. hall
that night in a quietly resigned,
but alert, mood. Here she knew
she would face Nancy Hale and
Duane in person; face Nancy for
the first time since Nancy had
asked her for help in winning
Duane. She hadn't trusted her
self to 60 near Nancy since then.
Tonight, she would simply have
to be ready and alert!
The flying school cadets were
literally everywhere with their
ladies when she and Norman
came in. They danced a rhumba.
They did a dreamy waltz. Then
somebody shouted for bly, Mil
Ter BLY, Miller You're
elected to lead the conga line"
That thrilled her a little, of
course. She had tried to be her
pretties tonight. There was a
ne formal. All yellow, with
flower patterns woven in. ORA
matte with her black hair and
violet eyes. Too dramatic, in
fact, for a girl less poised than
BLY,. But perfect as a complement
to handsome Norman Dana.
She and Norman did a high
job with the conga, and when
the dance ended in hilarity she
suddenly felt somebody tugging
her arm. She turned, and there
stood Nancy Hale. o
"Bly! Bly," Nancy was
happily excited as she STAGE
whispered. "Where've you been
keeping yourself? I wanted to
tell you! I want to thank you
now! You're the best friend any
body could possibly have, be-
caus you're making progress for
me already. Duane has danced
every dance with me, and look
what he brought"
Nancy had on one of Blythe's
own evening dresses which she
had given to her, and on the
shoulder now were two orchids
from Duane.
Blythe could only swallow
foolishly, and stare.
