BLOODMOBILE TO
VISIT LAKESIDE
AREA APRIL 19

The next scheduled visit OF the
Bloodmobile to Ottawa County will
be on April 10Th, and at the Co.
ordinating Committees Meeting
in December it was decided that
the Observation-Disclosures are
would be visited.
In the past the operation has
taken place at the Biro Auditorium
and it is expected that arrange
ments will be made by the Lake
side-Marblehead committee to as
sure us of the same arrangement,
inasmuch as Bros is the most
spacious collection center in the
entire county. Mrs. William Brown
of Lakeside is the Blood Program
representative for Lakeside and
Marblehead.
Another feature of the April
10th visit that we anticipate is
the annual invasion of the Island
ers from Put-In-Bay. A year ago
some fifty or more residents of
Put-In+Bay flew to the mainland
and we're met by motor corps of
American Legionnaires and Red
Cross Representatives at the air.
port. Miller Boat livery and the
Erie Isles Ferry Co. returned them
to the Islands. The civic coopera-
ton of the Blood Program is am
ply illustrated in this particular
part of the project. Transporta-
ton to and from the Islands was
provided free.
The Blood Program further il
lustrates the theme of Red Cross,
Neighbor helping Neighbor. A
supply of blood is kept on hand
at all times at Magruder Hospital
and is provided at no cost to the
patient, although the hospital Ia
batory and administration costs
are on the bill 1t would be diff
cult to enumerate the Ottawa
County Residents who are alive
and healthy today because their
neighbors in Red Cross were at
hand when they were in need.
New Donors are always needed.
If you have not signed as Blood
Donor, telephone the Red Cross
Office-6941, or your area repre-
sentative, and ask to be listed as
a donor. Then when the Blood
mobile visits your community
make sure that you have an ap-
pointment to give blood. 1t takes
so little time and does so much
good.

Observation-Disclosures
You know that old one about
meat packing plants saving every
thing except the pigs squeal?
Well, sportsmen would do them
selves a big favor if they took
a page from the meat packers
book. Too many parts of deer,
elk, ducks, geese and pheasant
that are tops in eating if properly
prepared are thrown away.
Of particular interest to the
camp cook is the fact that these
soft meats are tender and ready
for the skillet long before most
of the animal or bird. Liver and
all such organs are edible and
tender the same day the animal
is killed. In fact, they are at their
best when cool and fresh, rather
than when aged like muscle meat.
Experts consider deer liver SUI
perior even to young Calves liver.
The same is true of elk, sheep or
antelope or almost any of the ac.
cepted big-game animals which
are vegetarians.
When you open the deer fo1
cleaning, after you have spilled
the intestines out, reach back for
the liver. 1t is attached to the ami.

At the same time take the kid
neys which lie on either side, and
the heart which is forward of the
diaphragm with the lungs.
Place them gently in a clean
canvas, plastic or rubber-lined
bag and set them in the shade
while you finish dressing the
animal, and then get them to camp
as soon as possible and lay them
out in a cooler or pan of water SO
they can lose their heat. AS soon
as they are cool, cook them.
Some say it ruins the flavor

that the Medusa Portland Cement

He further stated, There is no

Unemployment Compensation
Unemployment Com pensation
must be restored. 1t is today fall
ing far short of its original ideals.
Our Ohio legislature and other
legislatures must 60 to work with
out delay to put into effect Pre-
sident Eisenhower's recommends
tion to increase unemployment
compensation benefits and dura-
tion.
The present laws pay benefits
much too small to maintain a
family.
A great number of people now
unemployed cannot qualify under
the requirements that they must
have worked a specified period of
time and have earned a certain
amount of money before they are
eligible.
We critic the Republican-con-
trolled regular session of the state
legislature which granted an in
crease of only So per week to the
unemployed worker while giving
the employers of the state reduc-
ton in unemployment compensa-
tion taxes amounting to almost
40 million dollars a year.
We must further point out that
an Unemployment Compensation
Office was once an agency or
guide to help people find new
employment. 1t was not originally
intended as staff to send people
toward personnel offices which
are already guarded to keep these
people away. People must search
for the type of work they are fit
ted to do. But when it is we'll
known there is no need for their
work in the community; when it
is also known that plant guards
are ordered to turn them away
isn't it shame that because of
technicalities in the law these un-
employed people must continually
spend good deal of their bene-
fits in transportation, scurrying
from plant to plant in a useless
attempt to apply for work. Yet
do this they must if they are to
draw that meagre unemployment
check.
Less technicalities and more
common sense provisions is our
plea. It is our duty to point out
the present unfairneSs and weak
ness of our unemployment COM
pensation laws. Members and
friends of the UAW.CIO are de-
manding action.
Fin. Secy. Larry Lucas is on our
sick list and missed his first mem
bership meeting in a great while

cause of exposure to the ele-

about the rent increase?)

All hourly rated employees of
Standard Products received a 1c

partment of Labor was established
by an Act of Congress:
ITO fostor, promote and deve-
lop the welfare of the wage earn
ers of the United States, to i'm
prove their working conditions,
and to advance their opportunities
for profitable employment"
AS we read the quote over again
and absorb the true responsibility
of the labor department, it is
amazing to see how far fetched
the workings of that labor depart
ment has become.
How discouraging that last week
the head of this department, Sc
cretary of Labor Mitchell, stated
he was not concerned with the
present unemployment. He ex-
planned that he had visited plants
and found workers happy with
their work. (But he did not visit
the unemployment offices and the
homes of the unemployed and see
the unhappiness there).
The Labor Department as was
originally intended is practically
non-existant. The working people
seem no longer to be represented
therein--their welfare and ad-
vancement seems no longer con.
sidered its purpose.
If this is so and is continued
so, then the Labor Department
will exist only in name-and will
stand as a mockery to the work.
