RESPONSE OF BLOOD DONORS GRATIFYING The response to the appeal for vol- unteers for blood donations to ,the Red ,Ckoss Blood. Donors' Clinic to be held in Clinton, shortly has been most gratifying to those in charge of re- ceiving the names of volunteers. Es- pecially noticable has been the res- ponse from the districts adjacent to the town. There is need for more vol- unteere • if we are to hays ops' full quota. It may be ,pointed, out here, that there is little loss of time in con- nection with the donation of blood. The average time loss, disregarding transportation time, is one hour. The first clinic -of neer donors only -- will be held in the forenoon, Will you he one of those to put a part of yourself in' the fray, perhaps save a life by donating a small part of yourself and "sending it overseas in a bottle."

V Navy League Tag Day, June 5th in Clinton Don't forget that Saturday, June 5th is the annual Navy League Tag Day, and it is hoped that Clinton and dis- trict will again make a generous re- sponse to this most worthy appeal. In fact, this year the League is in more urgent need of funds than ever, due to a very mucin increased program of relief and recreation, not only to the men of the Navy and Merchant Mar- ine, but to all branches of the service. A. wonderful new hostel has recently been opened at an east coast port, the last word in comfort for •our boys and survivors ors fro the sinkings on the Atlantic. A strong local 1 bra ch of the Navy v Y League has been formed in Clinton and they ask your hearty co -opera- tion and support tomake their work in this district s et a real success. We who are inland do not have the chance to see or know the great work the Navy League has done and is doing for the Boys in the Services, but if any proof were needed the thousand's of sincere and appreciative letters re- ceived by the League from Boys who have been outfitted and helped would be enough indeed.
