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.

"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

Mrs. Larry Baynham, chair-
man of the clinic says, "The need
for blood is urgent," She has had
a busy two weeks putting up
posters, handing out handbills
and soliciting volunteers to make
an every house telephone can-
in their hearts and minds.
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."
The evening session was
conducted by Mrs. Anne Ken-
nedy, Exeter, The devotional
exercises were given by Mrs. A.

Action Going,'
Closing prayer was given by
the Marion Ritchie Auxiliary,

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.

Monday's clinic.
Remember, blood comes only
from people.
Donate your blood. It won't cost
