Our Labor Day float was a
credit to the Unit although il
would seem that a larger per-

should have taken part in the
observance of the day by parad-
ing. Long Jawn was there for

We also want to thank Lester

their blood for their kind assist
ance in this case.
1t was not possible to reach

Since speedy action in these
cases is sometimes a matter of
life or death, it would be a great
help if the Auto-Lite blood do
nors list was made available at
all times for the use of members
who may be in distress.
Why shouldn't our Auto-Lite

available the same as other units
