Rene - ford $5.00. A. recent visitor to one of the large blued donor clinics in the Dominion was much impressed with the atmos- phere of friendly, informality which pervades the place. You have no doubts about the efficiency of the way things are run; you feel assured about the required amount of steriliz- ation and care taken in 'every phase of the operation, but nevertheless you cannot help being 'conscious of the lack' of "waiting xoom" atmos- phere. , It is a little like looking in on a miracle first hand, too. It all takes each a Iittle time out of the donor's day. He comes in matte his turn, climbs up en` the cat, lies back and relaxes, while a smiling personable nurse takes charge of Isis "ease.". Less than a pint of his blood, goes painlessly into the bottle "piped" to Iris arm by a little tube; and his gift "from the heart" has been given. On into another room for coffee and biscuits or a refreshing drink of ginger ale, and that is all that is re- quired of the donor. The accomplishing of the miracle is not yet. When the whole blood has been processed at the laboratory,and is ready for shipment Overseas it is as amazing as any ancient alchy. A little accumulation of creamy col- oured powder is what remains and yet that little drift of dried serum is beyond price, when a man, woman or child is suffering from shock under bombing raids; when a soldier badly weaunded hes begun to die • from wounds; when a flyer is burned, and must have a transfusion to keep him alive, Just a little sterlized water is all that has to be added to this dried serum to keep a human heart going. It is not difficult to see that tem and more donors' will be needed as the war goes on. Any man between the ages of 21 to 50, who is in good health can become a donor. It is a personal contribution to humanity, and a vitally important one. LITTLE LOCALS There is no improvement in Mr, George Crawford's health, we regret to report. Mrs. P. A.
