COUNTIER 1 Counters for Fine) Jewellery for Over Half y ea Century in Huron County RED CROSS NOTES Urgent Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic Tuesday, October 10 The Clinton Blood Donor Clinic will be :held in the forenoon of Tues- day, October tenth -the day fol- lowing_ Thanksgiving Day. This will. be an opportunity for those who are really thankful for theblessings, of being spared the experience of those in The British Psles and on the Con- tinent with shells\ and bombs, are truly grateful to those who have placed their bodies between us and those experiences; to express in a slight way that appreciation. Al- though this coimnunityhas been remarkable in its response, rumours of approaching victory seem to have hindered many from continu- ing in their good work. If your name is on our. list pay heed to the notice you receive, and do not fail to re- spond. New donors are urgently needed. If you are in good health won't you, inconvenience yourself for an hour that you may perhaps save a life? The need was never as great, as the supplies of blood plasma have been severely depleted by .the :attack on Hitler's fortifi- cation and the treatment of robot bomb victims. The need is urgent- never,more so. Let it never be said we let our boys down, as they were about to finish the job. The war is not yet over, and" there is still. Japan to look after. Won't you celebrate your Thanksgiving season by mak- ing an appointment for next Tues- day with Mrs. Miller, Mr. McMurray Mr. Jacob or Mr. Corless. "A pint of blood may save a life you love."
