The Red .Cross Mobile Unit of the
Volunteer Blood Donation Service has
paid its first visit to Sewickley Valley.
It returns this coming Saturday, and
will make its final visit the following
Saturday. We hope and expect that
the coming visits will be as successful
as was the first one, when we had 143
volunteers. We believe that the donors
were pleased with the arrangements,
and in this connection it is interesting
to note that practically every donor
volunteered to contribute again in a
few months.
While it is difficult to single out any
group or community as especially deserving of commendation, the record
made by the people of Glenfield was
particularly outstanding.,
The Red Cross doctors and nurses
were highly pleased with the facilities
of the emergency hospital. They said
that it was the best set-up that they had
yet seen, and commented on the fact
that the rooms and floors were absolutely spotless.
We extend to the citizens of Sewickley Valley and to all of the Civilian
Defense workers who contributed so
largely to the success of this venture
our hearty thanks.
