EIls55IIEiIII IIIIIIIIl T is HOPED THAT SOCIETY,
with humane interest,
will help put Milford
over the top in its drive
- for blood donors. The
registration has, in a sense, just
started, and with another week to
go, but the reflections must be taken
into consideration and provided for.
Much interest has been shown in the
effort and very satisfactory num-
ger are already signed up, but more
are needed. This is one time to for
get self and remember the boys, who,
but for the ever present blood plasma,
would not be living to tell what
wonders it has accomplished in a
life-giving way. Very small is the
per cent of persons who do not
know just what it all means and
when they are told about the pro-
cess of bringing their gift to the
side of the wounded sign up with
out a moments hesitation. Signify
your willingness to give your por-
ton by registering at once.
