©So long, Bob Klueter, and
God bless you. Your country
has singled you out, along with
many others, to quit your job,
bid goodbye to the boys of
your Scout Troop, your friends
and relatives, and go . . . you
know not where. ©What the
future has in store for you is
hidden from us all. What we
do know is that it will be radically different from anything
you have ever experienced here^
tofore. #If there ever was a
more peace-loving young man
than you, Bob, we have never
met him. Gentle, courteous,
exemplary in your habits, steady as a clock, we will miss your
ready wit, your warming presence. God never fashioned such
as you, Bob, for a fighting man

nor seek a way out. You will
never ask another to carry the
load that is yours. This we
know and are sure of because
of your conduct on the home
front where it is so easy to take
advantage of the tolerance of
good friends. ©Your soul will
surely shrink from certain tasks
imposed and which will be utterly abhorrent to the gentle
heart of you; yet you will not
lag in performing your assignments. One thing well we know,
Bob, is how unaware you are of
the immense pride you have in
your own integrity. When your
call came you did not rebel. If
sacrifice was asked of others
you had no desire that yours1
should be deferred. ©We have

of     the     things
The Saline Junior Chamber
of Commerce is behind the effort to bring the Blood Bank
Mobile Unit from Detroit here
on Monday, March 26. Attorney Stanton Roesch is heading
the project of the Jaycees here.
At least 300 people are needed to meet the minimum requirements of the mobile unit,
and Mr. Roesch is counting on
the concern of local citizens to
reach that number and greatly
exceed it. Blood donors are
requested to notify City Clerk
Ken Rogers, telephone 109, the
City Hall, where the list will
be prepared against the day of
the arrival of th§ Red Cross
unit.
Having served in the last war
"Pat" Roesch haa first hand information concerning the urgency of the request for blood.
All types of blood are needed, he
points out. However, there are
some "requirements which must
be conformed with. In an effort to save everyone time and
explanations he has listed these
qualifications:
1. Age limit 18 to 60 years
(18 to 21 year-olds must have
parents consent.)
2. No major surgery or child
birth within one year of donation.
3. No active symptoms of allergy.
4. No active cases of malaria
or those recently having an.
attack.
5. No one can donate who
has already donated within two
months of this time.
Blood is needed and needed
urgently, according to Mr.
Roesch. All types are needed
and he particularly stressed the
"O" type which he explained is
flown directly to Korea within
72 hours from the air force
base at Fairfield-Suisan, California. In summing up the effort on the part of the Jaycees
to bring the unit to Saline,
Roesch says "I cannot stress
strongly enough the importance
of tliis work or how necessary
it is that we have our quota of
blood donors—in order to help
the boys in service."
