RED .CROSS NOTES
Commencing Saturday November
14th, the Red Cross rooms will not be
open in the evening. Will all -knitters.
kindly bring in their finished articles,
on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
NEEDED AN IRON
An electric iron is badly needed for
the work room. If anyone has. an iron
that is not in use,' it would be found
most useful by the sewers.
. There is some goon news from the
Can. Red Cross Blood Donor Clinics.
Almost without exception 30 Clinics
whieh were in operation previous to
July 31 have been surpassing their re-
spective quotas. Altogether, they have
been providing over 3,500 donations
weekly for the preparation of dried
blood serum. It is expected that
shortly this total will increase to
4000 a week and that the objective
of 6,000 a week by the end of the
year will be reached. If this objective
is reached it will be due to the great
and enthusiastic efforts now being put
forth by both the old and the new clin-
ics recently formed. Total clinics in
operation, or authorized, from coast
to coast now total 38. .
Interesting new development is the
mobile unit which will be effective in
tapping sources of donations in indus-
try and medium sized communities.
which heretofore could not be reach-
ed. Two donations for such vehicles
have been received by the Ontario Di-
vision.
The Blood Donor. Service is un-
doubtedly a vital contribution' to the
war effort and to the saving of lives.
It is fineto know that Canadians are
accepting the service in this spirit
and are coming forward in encourag-
ing numbers.
