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.
