Maybe you wince at that idea. He doesn’t. Without it, he would be dead. Two years ago he was seriously injured in a crash. He received desperate head injuries, and a delicate operation was imperative. But shock and loss of blood had so weakened him that he couldn’t have survived one. If . ... seven strangers had not stepped in. They were Canadian men and women who had each given a blood donation to the Canadian* Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service. When the doctors called for blood to save the life of the accident victim, it was the blood of those seven which pulled him through. “Were you one of them?”' Today, he is a healthy, happy, useful citizen of Victoria, British Columbia. The only thing that marks him as different from the average man is a rather searching look that sometimes comes into his eyes as he walks along the street. For he often thinks of the seven who saved his life and wonders who they are. As he looks into a stranger’s face, he silently asks: “Were you one of them? If so, I thank you from my heart.” Similarly, the mother who gave birth to twins and would have died except for blood transfusions . . , the baby so anaemic at birth he could be kept alive only by donated blood . . . the maimed . . the sick . . . the old—all those who owe their lives to blood transfusions ’say: “Thanks, unknown friend.” Free blood for Canadian hospitals The Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service plans, as soon as possible, to extend whole blood and plasma free to all patients needing it, in hospitals^aeross Canada. Already, two provinces—British Columbia and Alberta—provide this life-' saving service. Last year, Alberta and British Columbia distributed 21,044 bottles of whole blood and 2,364 bottles Of plasma, resulting in the saving of many lives. But it takes money as well as blood to save these lives. Remember this, as the Canadian Rod Cross appeals to you now for funds. Give generously. A life may ■ lit W 1
