of blood donations for Rockville,

tic over the response on Monday
when the Red Cross Mobile Unit
was in Rockville.
The required 100 pints of blood
was obtained before one o'clock
and number of those registered

cause of lack of refrigeration for
more than 100 pints.
ut was the grandest, healthiest
group of people, ! have ever seen,"
said Mrs. Nolan. "Not a cold nor
a sniffle among them. There were
only 16 reflections and we usually
have over 40" Unregistered peo-
pie came from the streets to offer
their blood. Few of those register
ed failed to appear. The Washing
ton Grove Canteen served luncheon
to the workers and refreshments
to the donors. 1t was their first
experience serving blood donors
and they made fine job Of it, ac-
cording to the committee.
