Blood Donors,
Attention!
"It is a great day to meet the
men who have returned from the
'battlefront and to hear them say
their lives have been . saved
through the use of this serum."
That is a quotation from a letter
written on August 13th from the
Chairman -of the Ontario Committee
of the Blood Donor Servicesurging
that every effort be made hy- the..lo-
cal clinics to maintain the number of
blood donors. Nothing. at present is
known of that is nearly so' efficient
in aiding the severely wouuried, or
those in impaired hi: liti due to priva-
tion as blood Plasma. It is hoped
that some the need of largo quanti-
ties of plasma may not be so great,
but that time is not yet. Large num-
bers of service. men, severely wound-
ed, still require it, as well as those
prisoners of war and- others in inter-
ment camps and the citizens of in-
vaded countries whose health has
been seriously impaired by the diseas-
es, harships and privations due to
war. Every available donor is urg-
ently reqUested to continue attend-
ance at the various clinics as long
as the need remains.
The next Seaforth Clinic will be
held In Northside United Church on
Thensday, August 23rd, Kindly con-
tact Mrs. Troutbeck, Secretary, Sea-,
teeth, Phone 93, who will give or mail
you the necessary card of instruc-
tions and state the hour when you
may be received without any .unnec,
essary loss of time on your part.

a record number. ' In opening the
tournament, President W. J. Duncan
paid a glowing tribute to the boys
who had gone to battle, but had not
returned. He asked Rev. R. H. Wil-
liams, chaplain of the club, to say a
prayer, and then one minute's sil-
ence, followed by singing "God Save
the King." A cheer was also given
for the boys who had returned.
Tournament Secretary M. A. Reid,

said that it was,the best he had had
for some time. There was a plenlifu,l
supply of everything, from meat, sal-
ads, potatoes, etc., to pie and coffee.
