BLOOD CLINIC.
'Another blood donor clinic will
be held in Lucknow on, Wednes-
day., December 22nd. There have
been some doubts expressed as
to the wisdom Of having a clinic
three days ` before Christmas,
when most peopleare busy.. How=
ever., the Red cross intimates that
the war will still. be going on.
- Our boys in Italy will be fight-
ing, and who knows but•that one
or many of them may be•needing
blood plasma very urgently.”
The response of the public to
these clinics recently has been
very :gratifying, and all who can
are urged to donate again. Mao,.
to those who so far have not
• helped with a blood donation •it
cannot be emphasized too strong-
ly that • the -supply' Of blood
'plasma built up by the Red Cross
is,not yet considered to •bee"near-
ly adequate for the demands that
