Annual Chapter Meeting Of
Red Cross Set Here For
Tuesday Night At London

pints of blood at per pint cost of
1888 for the county part, including
the county share of the regional
blood center and the local collec-
tion expenses.
The small cost permitted Mad
ison County residents to receive
free blood because of the Madison
County blood contributions and
the cash outlay which aided in the
blood center. Lohr said ''The cost
of the Blood Program for the COM
ing year will probably increase,
but we are sure the people in Mad
ison County will meet the chal-
lenge"
He added that at least half of
the expenditures for the year
went to blood expenses. but he
called attention to several other
phases of American Red Cross OPP
erations in the Madison County
Chapter. He said the Home Serv-
ice, Disaster Service, First Aid and
Water Safety, Junior Red Cross
and Service for Armed Forces and
Their Families are also of major
Importance to all concerned with
Red Cross activities.
Chairman Lohr concluded, II
urge every person who possibly
can to attend this important meet
ing Tuesday night, and do all they
can to assist the American Red
Cross, Madison County Chapter, in
their goals for the year ahead. It
will be your contribution to your
fellowman, when he needs your
help most"
