MAKES URGENT APPEAL FOR BLOOD DONORS. "It is a great joy to meet the men who have returned from the battle front ansl to have them say their lives have been saved through the use of the serum." .That is a quotation from a letter' written on Aug. 13 from the chair- man of the Ontario Committee of the Blood Donor Services, urging that every effort be made by the local clinics to maintain the number of blood donors. Nothing at present is known that is nearly as efficient in aiding the severely wounded or those in impaired health due to pri- vation, as blood plasma. It is hoped that soon the need of large quanti- ties of plasma may not be so great but that time is not yet. Large numbers of severely wounded service men still require it as well as those 1 prisoners of war and others in in- ternment camps and the citizens of invaded countries whose health has been seriously impaired by the di- seases, hardships and privations, due to war. Every available donor is urgently (requested 'nattendance c to a at . to on u thvarious clinics as Iong as the need remains. I The next Seaforth clinic will be `held on Thursday, August 23rd. Kindly contact bins, Troutbeck, Sea - 1 forth, Phone 93, who will give or send you the necessary card of in- structions and state the hour when you may be received without any un- necessary loss of time on your part.

As we hear of each arrival home from over there it is with it feeling of pride we say, "Oh I knew him" which only goes to show that Canada is proud of her returtifnir heroes and the envi- able name they lntde for themselves on the battlefields, We little know of the many limes you were face to face with death, but We all know about Dieppe, and then later at Caren where you won the Military Medal. You may not realize the delitrht we felt at this signal honor ronferred on• you, but frankly knowing you - so well, there was no one surprised.
