The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1971-06-10, Page 11Luck is a transient thing. Some people are fortunate enough to never require a blood transfusion in their lives. But , you never know... Maybe tomorrow it will be your friend, a member of your family or yourself who will suddenly be in a situation where it's a matter of life or death. A pint of human blood can work miracles in surgical operations; will help in the treatment of Leukemia; can help combat Polio, German Measles, Mumps and Infectious Hepatitis; is in- valuable in treating burn and shock victims; can help mothers after childbirth, and give life to a blue baby. Transfusions techniques have come a long way since 1818 when England's James Blundell performed the first human blood transfusion which marked the beginning of the development of an important life-saving technique. During the nightmare of World War II, many countries set up blood transfusion services to meet the medical needs of war casualties. The Canadian Red Cross is still expanding its research and services. The Blood Donor Service provides blood and blood products to every Canadian hospital free of charge, with no demands on the patient's family or friends to replenish. Keeping a regular supply of blood ready for emergencies is essential to everyone's well being. Thousands of hospital patients are counting on people who will contribute their blood, Most people in good health between the ages of 18 and 65 can become blood donors. Anyone not acquainted with the blood donor scene can get an introduction at the Red Cross Blood Donors Clinic, Monday, at the Exeter Legion Hall, being held under the auspices of the Exeter Legion Ladies' Auxiliary. 064(4 &Ad The Exeter Times- Advocate is happy to ex- tend birthday greetings to MRS. SAM JORY, Exeter, 88, June 7. We are pleased to acknowledge the birthdays of our Senior citizens. If you 'know of someone who would like their name to appear in this column Please get in touch with us, I 0 44 "These beans taste funny," said my young son screwing up his face with distaste, I reached over and took a sample with my fork. "There's nothing wrong with them," I scolded him. "Eat them up," He pushed his plate away as if it was filled with writhing worms. "Well, I'm certainly not going to eat them now!" "Why not?" His brown eyes snapped ac- cusingly, "Because you put your germs in them." I stared at him in disbelief. Five minutes before I had had to threaten him with a whack on the rump to persuade him to wash his grubby, germ-infested hands before he sat at the table, "What in the world's got into you?" I demanded. "When you were a baby I tasted your food all the time to make sure it wouldn't burn you...and it didn't kill you." He looked like he might throw up. "Yuk „ . not much wonder I was always a sick baby." (He wasn't of course. In fact, he was the roundest, fattest, most robust of the litter, but since his first memory recall is of when he had the measles when he was two he insists he was a sickly baby,) The boy is a walking paradox. He would wear undershorts until they stood tip in a corner on their own strength, but a hair in the bathroom sink makes his stomach turn over. He'll drink from a common bottle out on the ball field. .and scream bloody murder if his brother takes a sip from his glass at the dinner table. He insists on his eggs being fried only in butter and to a certain crispy browness. Yet, he's been known to eat, with relish, a meal he's cooked out in the bush on a roll of old fence wire. While the rest of us are trying to swallow our suppers he'll relate in detail the birthing of the calf at his uncle's farm. If someone should enter the bathroom while he's showering he'll yank the curtains off the window to modestly cover 4 Members meet Qt convention Four hundred .and fifty members from across Canada attended the annual Beta Sigma Phi Convention in Brantford last Those present from this .area were Mrs, Carol .Reid, Mrs. Carol Arthur, Mrs. Rolande Duffy, Mrs. Louise Giffin, Mrs, Wilma.

She said, "Wishes do come true but not by indulging in idle dreams. It is only as we become true diciples of the Master that we learn the will of God and know what to ask for in our prayers."

His indignation mounts to a fever if he's accused of cheating. Should he catch someone else doing the same thing his con- tempt knows no bounds. He's threatened to kill his sister several times. He'll fight to the death should anyoneelse menace her. Half an hour of piano practice completely exhausts him. An all day tramp in the wood leaves him refreshed enough to want to watch the late movie. When he goes to camp, his few, scanty letters are tersely signed, Yours truly," He feels rejected we don't write loving messages to him every day or two. He fondles and pets his black cat by the hour. Yet the blankets are held securely over his head should his mother suggest a good night kiss. He's unexplainable, exasperating, perverse, in- furiating. .and devastatingly lovable. He's eleven years old. vass to inform all residents about Monday's clinic.
