By Terri Polino
e walking into the
ingham Armouries on
Thursday afternoon 1 felt a
few twinges of nervousness,
but, they were mellowed
quick. . b y the sullies and
eotrteous nature of
Canadian Red Cross em-
ployees, You see, for the first
time in my life I decided to
be a blood donor.
Knowing that many of the
employer and volunteers
involved in the collection of
blood, which helps to save
thousands of lives every
year, have traveled to
various clinics and seen so
many donors, I didn't think
my little donation of slightly
less than a. pint would spark
that much interest. 1 was
wrong.
After receiving a free
glass of orange juice and
filling out an information
f I was told the pro-
cedure and congratulated
and thanked for taking a few
minutes to give at the clinic.
Then came time for the
blood test. A sharp prick to
my left index finger released
a small sample of blood that
in seconds was found .to be
Type 0, high in iron by
lacking zip.
"What do you mesad idon't
-have any zip?'' .
',The nurse Was' quick 'to
e illain that I shouldn't feel
left out for kip is juste Obit
Rain of an unpronounceable
word meaninga.fornilatidn of
antibodies in the blood as a
result of a &,event case of
chicken pox.
Peeling a bit better I
strolled over to one of the
awaiting cots, each manned
by an assistant who helped to
make the next 100 minutes
seem like one or two. Mine
quickly engaged in, friendly
conversation to take my
mind off of the many rumors
I had heard about giving
blood, especially the one that
maintained it was a painful
experience.
A nurse was at my side
almost immediately and
asked me to make a fist. I
must admit when that needle
first penetrated my right
arm I did jump a bit, but
within a few seconds the
slight pain subsided and the
only thing I felt was a bit of
numbness in my right hand.
In other words, it was a piece
of cake.
One pint later I was lying
down on another cot to
recuperate from an ex-
perience that was not pain-
ful, not traumatic, but in fact
filled with satisfaction in
knowing that my little
donation is going to help a
stranger, a friend, maybe
even a relative in need,
You know they said that
my blood is the gift of life.
Just think, I gave life and it
only took me 20 minutes. I
even got free tea and cookies
out of the deal.
My only complaint was
that there wasn't more
people taking advantage of
the clinic, that may someday
bethe key to saving their
live.

This week's issue of The
Advance-Tir}ees carries
accounts of several meetings
which took place early last
week: They reached our
office (some by phone) on
Tuesday morning, as the
deadline for the week's issue
was close to expiry time.
Item One: We operate a
newspaper, and events
which happened 10 days
previous to the date of issue
are no longer news.
Item Two: Accepting
lengthy stories by telephone
on a busy Tuesday eats up so
much writing time that our
entire schedule is knocked
for a very costly loop.
Item Three: If our con-
tributors insist on waiting a
full week to provide us with
reports, most of them will be
let out.
We aren't mean; we're
merely trying to operate a
risible publishing firm —
and time is our most
valuable commodity.
