check up and the second. after 7
mad been "okeyed", was to give q
pint OF blood to the Sacramento
Blood Bank, for Korea am
ashamed to report that that was
the first pint Of blood I have ever
given. It's so simple. il doesn't bnrt
the least little bit and whv I
haven't given before I'll never
know, but hope this column will
give others the urge to go to onr
Milford Memorial Hospital and do
just as / did yesterday. II takes
such small part of the morning
OF afternoon to send this gift over
seas and how worth while that time
IS spent. / felt so good when
came home last night and knew 7
mad helped little with that "mess''
IN Korea. Hayes is not permitted
10 give blood. No flying personneI
in the Air Force NAV.
ArIeeE Derrickson picked me nm
around nine a. m. and we headed
for the Red Cross Blood Bank lto
Iulnll our appointment. AS soon ae
we arrived at the office there were
signs showing what your blood
looked like if you had eaten in tbe
last four hours and under il were
these words, This blood must he !
thrown away" Arleen was so dis
appointed. She had eaten breakfast
with Harry that morning, not know /
ing That she wasn't permitted to /
eat prior to giving blood. They had /
warned me on the telephone SO / !
mad to go ahead with the opera
Clon' First of all they asked sew /
efal questions about any diseases

my temperature, my blood count
and then my blood type. It's com

man ought to be at the Kent-Sus-

1ut to be the doctor on duty and
Ito was the minimum weight al
owed. Your weight determines how
much blood you have in your body

months ago by former Defense Mobilizer
Charles E. Wilson, that the government get
out OF commercial business, starting with fhe
electric power business. '''0
One convert is the New York Daily Mir
ror. 1t ran an editorial pointing out That the
government first get into power production
and distribution on the phony argument that
the primary objective was flood control and
that electricity was strictly d bv-prodncf

wolves purchase by war bond and other GOV
ernment security holders. They'd swap their

avoid interest payments. The new owners
OF former government projects would have
q cnance for better return on their invest
ment. Altogether, a neat idea."

enjoyed them and the children drew
pictures of them. The pictures
were put into a book for the af-

were dictated about each picture
The movie shown at the last PTA
meeting told clearly the social and
emotional development which takes
place in kindergarten. This alone
is well worth the time, not to men
ton the great amount of reading
and number readiness development
which also takes place. The ac-
tlvltles depicted in the movie were
similar to those carried on here in

lately. The latest one was seen
through our kindergarten room
window. We remember how last
fan the farmer used a corn picker
10 pick the corn in the field across
the road. Tuesday he was back with
his tractor pulling a plow behind
MN. The first graders in Mrs.

Her appointment had the
approval Of county officials,
friends and neighbors. Mrs.
Long became, as far as the
sheriff knows, the only woman
deputy in Maryland. So far,
her chief job has been to
accompany the sheriff when
he has transported woman
mental patients to Spring
Grove Hospital, near ,Balti-
more. It's been routine, she
says, without exciting or un-
pleasant incident.
But If she should run into
trouble, Mrs. Long is ready.
(The sheriff says he has not
had to fire his gun in the six
years he has held the office.)
Though you would hardly
expect an action more forceful
than lifting a tea cup from
the s. foot : S inch graying
deputy, she can get tough
with the handouts. Her hus-
band, serving as model to
demonstrate how well she can
slap them on, commented
jokingly:
Maybe this is a mistake.
She can handle them all right,
but maybe she won't want to
take them of. It's one way
Of making sure I'm on time
for dinner"
The sheriff also Is teaching
his new deputy how to handle
a blackjack as well as the use
Of tear gas-just in case.
Mrs. Long had served as a
kind Of deputy before the
official badge was pinned on.
She took care of the accounts
and correspondence part of
the Sheriff'S work. And she
has answered the phone at
all hours and frequently pre-
