No. 3d
Bartlett Has
Quota In Taylor
Bloodmobile Visit
Although the Red Cross Blood-
mobile will not visit Bartlett
this quarter Bartlett has a quota
of 20 pints in the visit of the
unit to Taylor on Juno 8 and 9
according to Dr. Geo. C. Fowler
local blood program chairman.
The Bloodmobile visited Bart-
lett each quarter last year but
will make only two visits this
year.
The Bloodmobile will be loca-
ted at the high school gymnas-
ium in Taylor between the hours
of 1:00 and 7:00 p. m. on Tues-
day June 8 and between the
hours of 10:00 a. m. and 4:00
p. m. on Wednesday Juno 9.
The quota for Bartlett wag sefc-
at this time because it has been
three months since the visit of
the unit here and because blood
is available to the people of this
community. People of the com-
munity nre receiving benefit
from the program and sponsors
feel that the community should
be willing to put back into it.
Six families of Bartlett have
been served with approximately
22 pints since the program be-
gan and most of this has been
this year.
Those who can and will are
urged to donate blood at thfe
time by county program offi
cials. Dr. Fowler announces that
anyone needing transportation
to Taylor to donate mny secure
it by notifying James Bailey or
Cy Young.
Pledge cards may be signed
lccally by contacting Reno Saage
Fred Moeller Jr. Doyle Mc-
Glothlin or Eddie Goodnight.
Other information about the
program may be obtained by
contacting Dr. Fowler or. Dr. T.
R. Sunbury. Those needing a
blood transfusion should contact
Dr. Fowler.
Since it has been three months
' since the Bloodmobile took dona-
tions in Bartlett those who do-
nated at that time can safely
do so again it has been an-
nounced. Donating now will not
interfere with making a donation
here in the fall since it will be
three months before the unit
visits Bartlett again.
