At the regular meeting of
Goderich Town Council last
week, Mayor Harry Worsell an-
nounced there had. been 249
donors at a recent Red .Cross
Blood Donor Clinic in,Goderich
last week.
'''his was slightly less than
the number of persons expec-
ted. About 300 persons had
been hoped for at the clinic by
Red Cross officials but it was
felt the busy schedule of many
people who had prior commit-
ments had' kept some donors at
home.
Another blood dynor clank is
planned for November wherl it
is hoped a record participation
%will be reported.
