"We depend on the Red Cross
for blood," says Mrs. Stringer.
In the March Canadian Red
Cross Society bulletin, Dolli
Brodie, a Rracebridge artist has
this to say about the Red Cross
blood clinics:
"Red Cross has a good record
in providing service but
Canadians should be more
appreciative of things like the
difference between a Free Blood
Service and the situation in the
US where blood may have to be
bought. Basically people like to
feel that they , are being
protected and looked after.
That's exactly what the Blood
Service does."
Pat Stringer "also reminds
Goderich residents of the
tremendous program at the
swimming . pool during the
summer months thanks to the
interest of the Canadian Red
Cross. "
