on East Cleveland's next Blood
Donor Day, Thursday, August 9th
is announced by General Chairman
Karl Brown.
Fifty placards announcing the
date, the place and the hours for
Blood Donor Day will be posted
about town. A pencil, attached to
a string, will be found near the
card, together with a pad on which
the donor may jot down his name,
telephone number, and the hour
most convenient for him to ap-
pear for his donation. By this
means it is hoped to reach the
goal, $50 pints of blood. "
Donors will be notified by tele-

Blood Donor Day, as has become
customary here, will be held at

The Red Cross blood donor staff
will be in charge. Local volunteers

why blood is in demand now,"
Chairman Karl. Brown points out.

ing, and, finally, the armed forces
are still using large amounts of
blood in caring for the wounded"
