Response Is Slow
For Blood Donors
Choirmon Urges Greater Co.
operation In BIoodmobiIe
Visit Next Week

The response to the request for
blood donors when the Bloodmobile
next visits Oakland on Wednesday,
October s. has not been as success
full as hoped for, according to am
announcement by Mrs. Grover c.
Stemple, blood recruitment chair
man for the county.
She urged greater cooperation
so that the quota might be met.
When the response is low there is
always danger that the benefits
derived from this program will be
withdrawn from the area.
To point out the importance of
the program she revealed that the
amount of blood used by the Gar
rett County Memorial hospital dur
ing the months of July and August
totaled 63 pints. This was furnished
by the National Blood program of
the American Red Cross.
"Without the further cooperation
of the people of this community
and the surrounding area, it will
be impossible for us to meet our
quota" she said This program is
designed to benefit the entire pop
ulation, so it is important for many
to take part to make it a success.
She also pointed out that the
safety and security of the nation
depended upon an adequate plasma
reserve and whole blood to treat
the i'll and the injured.
The bloodmobile will be at the
fire hall from II o'clock noon until
6 p. m, next Wednesday, and She
urged that those who wished to
keep the bloodmobile visiting this
community to volunteer as blood
donor. If it is not convenient to call
2-2186 or 2-3963 to make an APP
pointment, one can be "walk-in." "

Southern Battles ROmney To
sc Tie As Football Makes Debut
About 1000 Witness First
Contest In County Sut-
urdoy Afternoon

Football in Garrett county got
off to favorable beginning last
gday on the Southern High
athletic field. Southern High made
an effective debut by battling
Romney School for the deaf to a
G-6 tie before around 1000 fans.
Many of the fans were witnessing
their first football game.
All seemed to be of the opinion
that the nip and tuck struggle was
of the highest calibre and that
Southern gridders became seasoned
veterans within a very short time.
By the time the intermission had
rolled around, the Southern team
found themselves trailing by six
points but they came back in the
second half with a touchdown of
their own late in the third period.
The drive started on the Southern
40 and in a series of substantial
ground gains, Charles Mason,
Southern's fullback, plowcd over
from the seven yard stripe on an
takle play. Mason's try for the
extra point was blocked.
Romney's touchdown was scored
in similar manner by the right
halfback. An attempted pass for
the extra point after touchdown
was incomplete.
The festive occasion Saturday
was touched off by a parade which
included bands from Northern
High school as well as Southern
High school, several floats with
checrleaders and students. A pep
rally was conducted on Second
street, near the Liberty street
intersection, after which the pa
rade moved on to the athletic field.
The entire Southern line showed
up we'll with Hoye eXcelling on de-
fense. In the backfield Bob Glaze
and Savage spanked the offcnse
while Don "Toby' Colaw seemed
to be everywhere on the defense,
and spanked the offensc with his
signal calling. Mason carried the
ball effectively.
Southern High is a member Of
the National Federation of High
School Athletic Associations, to
which Maryland schools and most
West Virginia schools belong, and
regulations provide for unlimited
substitution during the games.
This explains the constant substi-
tutions during the four quarters.
Southern's band performed between
halves.
