By the Way
BETH BLAINE

How would you like to save life
every three months? You can by
going to the Blood Donor Center
and volunteering a pint of your
blood. The Army receives two of
every five pints donated. Your blood
is needed now more than ever.
just listen to what the Depart
ment of Agriculture is doing for the
present blood donor drive. The
weekly quota of blood donated by
its employees the week before the
drive began was rs. The first week
of the drive 1t scared to 211. This
first Government agency to be given
the Red Cross certificate of appre-
citation has made, and still is max
ing, concentrated effort to offset
the drop in blood donations which
began last June. It has 104 mem
bers in its Gallon Club" three en-
ployes of the department are "2-gal-
lon" members and many have given
blood as often as IA or Is times. The
Department of Agriculture also is
the only department where employees
can get free blood transfusions for
themselves and their immediate
families. 1t was the first depart
ment to organize regular weekly ap-
polntments for its employees at the
Blood Donor Center. This successful
campaign would not have been pos
sible without the complete co-opera-
ton of every section and every
division in the department-the ex-
hibit section. the Photographic sec
ton, etc.-nor without the co-opera-
ton of Walter Reed Hospital in
sending veterans (who can tell, first
hand, how blood plasma saved their
lives to the department meetings.
To tall, good-looking, brown
haired Miss Lois Monte of the Di-
vision of Personnel, Relations and
Safety goes a great deal of the credit
for the splendid organization of this
Department of Agriculture for
blood donors drive.
A former teacher of social studies,
Miss Monte is a whiz at any sort of
personnel and organization work
Capable, bright and very likeable,
she gets on with people and does an
amazing amount of work. In the
field of recreation she has organized
dances for departmental employees
(the best known of which probably
are the War Savings Stamp dances)
and helped to reorganize the Agri-
cultural Players, who already have
given one splendid major produc-
ton.
