Only seventy-five years ago the

from Michigan. Victims or a -forest

old neophyte organization which
hai.' gr("wa so that ias- year the
American people, through 'their

operations and spent over $3-2
jnillion to help  disaster  victims:
Floods, tornados and hurricanes
are all too frequent headline 'news'
today. As populations increase the
needs for blood became, constant.
Ihe Community that has a blood
bank from which it can draw is
wise and fortunate.
Saline area has such a bland
bank, a method through, which persons give according to their ability
anidraw according to heed. Many,
including Mrs. Robert Morton who
speaks openly of her appreciation
for 11 pints of blood given her recently, have benefited from
Saline's blood bank which services not only the city but the surrounding community as defined by
our present,-School dis'trict.
Communities which have no
jjlood bank.must either find personal donors in time of need or
.their citizens must pay.not only
for each -pint used, but for an extra pint beyond requireid.
Those who requested blood from
the bank are given pint for pint.
Bipod donated through the Red
Cross is given away—never sold.
