Mobile Blood Donor Unit Presented In Memory Of Late Dr. Bethune TORONTO, Dec. 7th. 1942 --In memory of the late Dr. Norman Bethune, famous Canadian surgeon and phys4cian who first introduced the blood bank ,in treating wounded soldiers, the first of two mobile blood donor units has been pre- sented by the Canadian Tribune to the Ontario Division of the Can- adian Red Prose Society. -, Dr. Bethune went to Spain in 1936 as head of the Canadian Medical Mission., and during the civil war there, established the famous Madrid Blood Transportation Ser• vice. lOarly in. 1938 the Canadian surgeon went to .China, as a member of the China Aid Council, and in November 1939, at the age of 49, died from blood poisoning caused from an injury while operating. At the request of the people of Ontario, Rad Cross sent its first mobile blood donor unit through the Province last month. The response of the public has been so great that it is necessary to add additional units to travel to small towns and communities, augmenting the work of the premanent blood donor clinics, • There are two units in operation itt the present tune, both working to full capaoity.

But such calls are a luxury in war time—and luxuries have no place in a war economy. War needs the wires you'd like to use for Christmas messages. War business, and the boys in camps who will be calling home from all parts of Canada, will be de- layed unless you avoid your usual 'Christmas telephoning. If you really must send your greetings by Long Distance, won't yonpleasedo so a few days before or a few days after Christmas —not on Christmas day.

The Postmaster General has ap- pealed to the public for their ut- most co-operation in "Eariy Mailing" which he stated is an absolute ne cessity if delivery is to be made in more than a slogan.

"Mail Early" this Christmas is more than a slogan, it is an abso- lute necessity. The impact of war conditions upon Postal Service has been terrific.' The volume of mails, which last year reached all-time Proportions, still continues to in- crease and will surpass all previous records this Christmas.
