Thieves Thwarted
In Sunday Break-In
At Stone Company

Vandals broke into the offices oi
the Bluffton Stone company early
Sunday morning but nothing was stol-
en-, Herbert Conrad, general manag-
er of. the company, reported Monday.
The office was thoroughly ran
sacked and drawers were emptied as
the thieves apparently searched for
receipts from Saturdays business.
At first it was feared they had stol-
en- a book of imprinted company
checks, but investigation revealed the
company checkbook had been taken
by their auditor after the close OF
Saturdays business.
The stone company was the victim
of theft two years ago when sew
eral sticks of dynamite were taken
from one of their explosives shacks.
Most of the stolen dynamite was lat

early registrations are being sought.
The higher figure will insure against
loss of any donors for illness or work
conflicts.
Mrs. Steiner said the Bloodmobile
will take walk-in donors although they
prefer that appointments be made in
advance. A number of afternoon ap-
pointments are still open, particular
ly between 2 and 3 p. m.
Actual time consumed in taking
blood is only about five minutes al
though approximately one hour is CIV
en- to preparation and rest after blood
has been drawn.
The Bloodmobile, which will be
stationed at the Methodist church,
will be open between 10 am. and a p.
m. 1t is hoped to have donors on hand
at all times so the work can proceed
steadily.
Red Cross officials, who have or
ganized the Bloodmobile visit, say il
will help Bluffton people fill blood
needs on a wider level than the
Walk-In donor program conducted
through the local Community hospi
tai. The Red Cross program stock
piles plasma and other blood deriv
atives for the armed forces and ais
contributes to the blood needs in any
area medical center.
Red Cross officials caution person:
against giving blood until: one OF
two weeks after a common cold;
acute allergy attacks are over; SIX
months after major surgery, or
attacks of malaria; "a hours after inn
munizations for diphtheria, cholera,
influenza, poliomyelitis, tetanus, ty-
