Keep Life Blood Flowing ...
This is tin appeal . . .for a program that is not
just a program, but ,he lifeblood of a modern med-
ieal service.
North Milam's blood program functions through
the Red Cross and that organization needs $3,100 cur-
rently being sought for its sup|N>rt.
Without the North Milam Red Cross, there will
be no blood program, this despite commendable con-
tributions of whole blood by Cameron residents.
Forget any objections to drives or causes. Re-
member that youngsters and oldsters, rich and poor,
everyone draws the blood that Red Cross administra-
tion makes possible through the Bloodmobile pro-
gram.
Remember the youngsters who have been saved
by the immediate delivery of blood to local hospitals.
Remember the accident victims whose lives are sav-
ed with Bloodmobile blood. Ask your doctors, your
hospital, your ministers where the blood would come
from if there were no blood program in North Milam
County.
Better yet, ask how much it would cost for a
pint of blood, just the blood.
And please remember: Help the spontaneous
drive for $3,100 for North Milam Red Cross. Give, as
so many already have, what you would have given
to the United Fund last fall.
Give to volunteers who call at your home for
donations.
If your business or home is not contacted, call
OX 7 - 3001, or OX 7 - -1671 or OX 7 - 2541 and a
volunteer worker will call on you in Cameron.
In the communities of North Milam County,
call your local leaders and workers. They are listed
on this page.
When you need blood, it wjU be there. Will you
be there when Red Cross needs you.

Response has been immediate
and wonderful in the Cameron
and North Milam area to the re-
quest for funds tor the Red Cross
and its blood program. For as
quickly as workers are making
their calls, they are receiv ing who-
lehearted response from businesses
and community residents.
We hope that the It North Milam
Communities will meet their indi-
vidual goals established for the
drive by the weekend with addition-
al contacts certainly would be a
good report for the North Milam
area
