DESPITE STORM BLOOD
CLINIC WAS SUCCESS
164 . Attended, Blood Donor Clinic
Regardless of the Blizzard
It takes more than howling blizzard
with all roads 'blocked or nearly im-
passible to black out aG Red Cross
Blood Donor Clinic here. On Wed-
nesday last week 164 persons turned
out to the 18th blood donor clinic to
be held here, 111. men and 53 women.
There were 20 waiting when the
clinic opened. at 8 o'clock. To make
sure that they would be able to give
their -donation all sorts of convey-
ances were used, one man rode two
miles on horse back to the highway.
Another drove ten miles in a cctter,
while others took hours to traverse a
few miles, The donors from Blyth
could not get through but they would
have tried again if it had not been
too late.
A number of Wingham people,
knowing that some donors could not
get here due to the bad weather, took
their proper breakfast and attended the
clinic although they had not been cal-
led this time. All this goes to show
that' 'many people of Wingham and
vicinity have a' high sense of responsi-
bility regarding their blood clinic.
Donors were from Wingham 113,
Bluevale 16, Belgrave 9, Brussels 9,
Whitechurch 9, Wroxeter 4, Gorrie 1,
Waterloo, 1, Mildmay 1, Teeswater 1.
Twenty received the bronze buttons.
for 3 ,donations, Walter Woods and
Harold Hutton were presented with
gold buttons for their 10th donation.
Frank Johnston of Wingham is the
leading blood donor here with 14 do-
nations.

other Palmerston Lions, Cecil Forrest-
er and Harold Hudson. The visitors
were greeted with the Lions' Roar and
after suitable introduction by eresident
Wilf. French, Lion Eph. Gray pre-
sented the address of the evening.
He thanked the Lions for their kind
reception and proceeded with his re-
marks. He said he had been thinking
of the people of England, France, Bel-
gium, and Italy who had lost their
homes due to the war. We had so
many things for which to be thankful,
our homes, good food, water, hydro
and conveniences of all kinds. He
likened life to a voyage on a great sea
and on a. large ship which he called the
"Home Ship". Through the fogs other
ships were discernable, one he would
call "Friendship" another "Fellowship"
while still others might be called "Citi-
zenship" and Worship". He enlarged
on the good qualities of each of these
"Ships" and compared them to the ob-
jectives of the Lions' Clubs. His ad-
dress proved very interesting and on
motion of Lions Stan. Hall and Fred
Spry, he was accorded a hearty vote
of thanks for his inspirational talk.
