B
LOOD-BANK volunteers from this
community were so numerous when
the mobile unit of the Eed Cross came
to Sewickley last year and again last
month that it seemed necessary to have
it baek again to give opportunity to
those who also want a share in 'this pre*
eminently patriotic, merciful and in*
valuable moans of saving our fighters'
lives and shortening tho war, So the
unit is here today (Friday) and tomorrow, and appointments may bo jiittdc
by calling tho Bed Cross House so that
no one's time will .bo wasted. At this
Writing we're told that not -enough
blood-givers have yet made appointments to justify its coining—those who
gave last month are not eligible ,fco repeat so soon—and there is still time
available for late-comers. Scwickley has
always richly -done its share in answering a call for national need; it will no
doubt .do it this time. But the time to
do it is now—today and tomorrow.
It is suggested that those who aro
not able to give their own. blood, for
any reason, may still help the causo by
making it possible for some one else to
do so. The idea of closing business
places Friday or -Saturday afternoon
following a holiday scorns impracticable,
yet most employers would no doubt try
to excuse from duty any person who
could bo spared, and who wished to
make a blood donation; after all, it
doesn't take long, Others who cannot
give might offer tho clianco to those who
can, by caring for house or children,
during the time necessary for tho gift.
And 'those who have given already can
do much by assuring their friends that
the process is easy, painless and without
unpleasant after-effects; they all seem
to agree on those points. And When it
will save a life  .  .   .   !
The mobile unit with its complement
of skilled nurses and workers will be
at the. Sewickley grade school. Broad
Street, whose basement has been fitted
with all facilities for ease and proper
practice, this afternoon (Friday) from
2:30 to 5:00, find tomorrow (Saturday)
from 10:30 a. in. to 2:30 p. m. Appointments may bo made at the. Eed Cross
House (Sowickley 225), even up to and
probably including those hours, since
the schedule so far has not been completely Jlllccl. Anyone .between tho ages
of 21 and CO may contribute blood; and
those between 1S and 21 may do so by
consent of parent or guardian.
>Cnll up, or call iir, the Eed Cross
House, and say you'll give. It's to save
a life!

FOR
ICT0RY
Tho Sewickley Victory Garden Committee reminds all Victory gardeners to
please clean up their garden plots by
December first.
Warnings that owners might refuse
to let their property be used for Vic*
tofy Gardens next year came this week
from tho Office of Civilian Defense,
where complaints have been Ulccl that
.many .gardens were not cleaned up
after harvesting.
Mrs. Harry M. Aranson, spokesman
for tho Victory Gardens Committee,
said:
"Tho Victory gardener who doesn't
clean up his garden is as much a, pest
as the rabbits."
