Miami eva Members
Blood Brothers,
To AiIing Child

Miami, Fla. - Members of the
Communication Workers here have
become "blood brothers" to q two
year-old boy to insure q continu-
GUS donation of blood to keep him
alive.
The youngster befriended by the
members of CWA Local 31O7 is
little Paul G. David who suffers
from hemophilia-a rare disease in
which the blood does not coagulate
normally. AS a result, the. child
could bleed to death from the
slightest injury unless he is given
whole blood Immediately.
Paul's plight was first brought
to the locals attention by one Of
its MEMBERSHIPS. George Klele, q
telephone clerk and friend of the
David family. She told fellow
unionists that the family had al
ready spent more than 81 400 for
transfusions in the first 20 mon
tbs of the boys life.
The vote to "adopt" Paul as a
'blood brother" was unanimous. In
the first drive, 81 pints were do
mated to replace the blood received
from the hospital blood bank. Since
then, Paul has been hospitalized
five times after minor injuries and
has received rs additional pints of
blood from the CWA members.
A union spokesman described the
'blood brother" program as an
other example of the Community
Service Activities of CWA men,
