Since death its gloom, its shadows

Within our home, where all scented

And took from us a shining light.
We miss that light, and ever will,
Her vacant plate there is none can
fill;
Down here we mourn but not in vain
For tip, in Heaven we will Meet
again.
Sadly missed by sons and datighter,

Blood Donor Report
Mrs. W. 5, Greer in presenting the
Blood Donor Clinic report, stressed
the fact that this had grown to be one
of the most important branches of Red
Cross work. The need for blood-
plasma is so acute that clinics have
been established in every available
centre, Wingham has had 17 clinic's
and has built up a large number of
donors but more are yet required to
carry on this important service. Do-
nors come here from Gorrie, Wroxeter,
Bluevale, Blyth, Whitechurch and the,
surrounding country side, She praised
the splendid work done by those of QUr
own Red Cross, the local doctors, and
nurses.. The Lions Club do valiant
work she said, in getting up the clinic
. and she spoke words of appreciation
for the publicity given by the AdVance-
Times and CKNX,
To date 2299 donations have been
sent to headquarters, 1572 front men
and 727 from women. Many more than
this number have attended the, clinics
however, but at each clinic some are
turned down for one reason or an-
other. On Nov. 14th there was 24
rejections. Buttons have been donated
as follows: 394 bronze buttons to
third donors, 103 silver buttons to
sixth donors, and one gold button to
Frank Johnston for making ten .do:
nations,t.
Clinics are held every, five weeks
and Mrs, 'Greer pointed out that many
places larger than this have only ten
week clinics and thus can call their
donors to every clinic while here one
can attend only .every second clinic.
Honour rolls of donors are being pre-
pared and these will contain the record
of the number of donations and, in the
near future they will be displayed in
some suitable' place. Mrs. (Greer
pointed out that it takes five donations
to make one transfusion so that it
would take one donor a year to supply
the necessary blood for a transfusion,
Mrs, C. 13. Armitage stated in her
press report that monthly givings and
donations to the society were acknow-
ledged through the papers end all
notices of executive meetings were also
placed in the paper, The notice re
the closing and opening of the work-
room had been published.
