Prizes Awarded
Blood Donors

Looking forward to a response
that will top all previous visits
to London of the Blood Mobile
Unit, the recruitment committee
and Donor Program members of
the county, are leaving no stone
unturned in their solicitation for
Tuesday, March "a, when the
unit will be at the Methodist
Church from ten to four o'clock.
In an effort to help put Lon
don over the top this time, the
five beauty shops in London,
Alice Thomas. RightselPs, Tina
Lees, Osie Rose and Emily Allen,
are offering twelve free perma-
nents to special donors who visit
the bank that day.
The first six will go to Numbers
One, Five, Fifteen, Twenty and
Thirty, who are first time blood
donors to the Red Cross; one will
go to the Fiftieth Donor; one to
the Tooth donor; one to the donor
who has given the most pints;
one to the oldest donor Two are
being saved for the first an sec
ond Gallon Club members (those
who have given eight pints) who
donate Tuesday.
In setting up this schedule, the
committee stated that the perma-
nents are transferable; in case
a man comes up with the winning
number he may pass it on to
some person of his choosing. Also
permanents will be given at the
convenience of the shops donating
them.
London is working hard to
more than meet the required
quota of 80 pints. Officials at
the Blood Center have intimated
that they may find it necessary
to cancel visits of the unit to
communities that do not meet
their quotas. Certainly" said
Judge Maurice Beathard, county
program chairman, wed be
sorry to have any part Of Madi-
son county Inundated because we
fell down on our critical job"
Miss Ruth Armstrong, recruit
ment chairman, Is reminding
prospective donors of a few of
the Dos and Donts. The age limit
is Is to SO; donors should not
eat later than four hours before
giving donations and then should
cat lightly avoiding fatty or fried
foods; eight weeks wait between
donations, are few of the most
important things to remember.
Officials for the London visit
are again urging registrants to
keep their appointments unless
detained because of colds or other
illness. Also the watkins, (those
who call without appointment)
are encouraged, but, they stated,
registration is preferred so there
will be some idea of recruited
response.
Touching areas have been way
way over the top at recent visits
of the unit and London and Ma
olson County are attempting to
come up with similar excellent
response, says Chairman Bea-
thard

ANGEL UNAWARE
Robin Eliz a b t h, infant
daughter of Roy and Dale
Evans Rogers, was born with
a staggering handicap; died at
the age of 2. In record of
this brief life, published this
week for the Easter season
(Angel Unaware, Revell) Mrs.
Rogers has adopted narra-
tive form. The story is told
by Robin in report to her
Heavenly Father.
Well that's it, Father. That's
what happened Down There.
That's how / delivered Your
message, and I'm sure they
got it. They learned, for one
thing, that there are many
mansions, or rooms" in Your
earthly house-that there's
a room for the strong and a
room for the sick, a room for
the healthy and a room for
the weak, a room for those
born with 10 talents, and a
room for those with only one,
room for the rich and q
room for the poor. A room for
everyone and something for
them to do in that room for
You. In Your house Down
There are many rooms, where
we study and teach and get
ready to move into your big
light room Up Here.
We did pretty well in that
room in my little house,
Father. We taught them to see
purpose in pain, and messages
on the crosses they have to
carry around. :.
And now, Father, please
could I just go out and try my
wings?
