This county’s record is not the worst of the 12 collec-
tion points served by the Southeast Texas Defense Blood
center, but it falls far short of being the best.
in December, Orange county gave only 156 of the 200
pints Of blood asked of it. That's 78 per cent of the quota.
Beaumont, with 67 per cent. Liberty county with 58 per
eeiit. Nueces county with 66 per cent, and1 San Patricio
county, with 53 per cent, all were still further below their
quetai Hays county, had exactly the same percentage as
" Orange county. ,
Brazoria county, with 116 per cent, Brazos county, with
107 per cent. Calcasieu-Cameron parish, La., with 83 per
cent, Galveston county, with 106 per cent. South Jefferson
county, with 124 per cent, and Wilson county, with S16 per
Together, the 12 collection points contributed only
1,894 of the 2,250-pint quota, for an overall record of 84
per cent.
Next Monday the bloodmobile will come back to Or-
ange for its January visit and the people of this county
will have an opportunity to start bettering their defense
blood record.
Nobody in this county wants America’s fighting men
in Korea to be deprived of food, clothing, equipment, am-
munition, blood or anything else they need.
Nobody here deliberately does anything to contribute nl or forced down U. s. planes In
to shortages of any of those things. *■**" or
The trouble, insofar as blood collections are concerned,
seems to be that the urgency of this program has not been
impressed upon a sufficient number of Change county citi-
zens. Perhaps that’s the fault of this newspaper. We’ve
tried to get the message across and our 1952 files bulge
with articles and stories on this subject. Still the blood
hasn’t flowed as freely as it should have.
. Previous appeals have been based largely on emotional
afe§le$. This time we’re sticking strictly to statistics. If
you’re an eligible Wood donor, or think you might be. go
back and re-read the figures above. Then, if you would
like to fhs|p better the county’s record in this connection,
pick up your telephone, dial either 8-2322 or 8-2747 and

Suggestions Offered
Chief Hayden had a few sug-
gestions which he said apply to
both scooter and bicycle riders:
1. Always ride on the right
ide of the street.
2. Don’t, stunt or weave.
3. Ride in single file.
4. Don't carry passengers.
5. Stop for red lights and stop
signs.
6. Don’t hitch onto autos or

if you must ride, make certain

8. Above all, know ami obey

He proposed Id begin imme-1

ment against every delinquency j

records for three or more years.
Local attorney Bennett viewed j
such an approach as ‘‘cold-dilood- j
ed”. He warned the commission-
ers, "It would be suicide for the
court to sue everyone in the coun-
ty. There would not be a man sit-
ting on this court two years from
now tf it did.”
Commissioner Carter took of-
fense at any attempt to put the
decision of tax suits upon the
court. Said he. “The court should
make it known here and now that
we don’t pick out the people
whom to sue and whom not to.
We are all taxpayers and we all
share the same burden.”
Then he added. "This action
wouldn’t mean we were going
to take their homes away from
them just because we get a
judgment.”
Carter then moved that Terry
be employed. But, he withdrew
the motion when reminded that
Commissioner Ernest Walles had

posals. The court promised to take

As Force explained it, the de-

Terry’s proposal called for a
four-year contrnct guaranteeing
judgment against every present

action he provided that one- third

entered. If he is released at the
dose of two years tha contract
provides that the escrow money
be released to him.
Attorney Led asked for renewal
of his contract under its present

(‘DEGREE DAY DEFICIENCY)
do With
GOOD GAS SERVICE ?
To most people, a Degree Day Defidfcttfy* means nothing.
But it means a lot to your Gas Company. To us» it represents a
measure of cold weather—"heating” weather—which we must
be prepared' for if high standards of dependable gas service are
to be maintained. * « \
For example, during, the month just passed, the average
meter reading period represented heating requirements that were
3 times greater than the heating requirements of the preceding
meter reading period. Throughout most of this period, cold, wet
weather prevailed—the continuing type of chilling weather which
requires almost constant heat for indoor comfort. Almost every
day, our customers’ heating equipment was kept in steady use—
warming their homes and businesses—-and representing a tremen-
dous demand for gas additional to normal; non-heating uses. It
required a lot of extra capacity—extra dependability—to meet
the heavy denii'ands of this disagreeable weather, and United Gas
had the facilities to measure up to its responsibilities.
Good gas service cannot be based on the ability to meet
normal requirements. It must be based on the ability to meet
maximum requirements. Because your United Gas Service is
planned and built for whatever number of Degree Day Deficien-
cies might occur—as well as for other demands—our customers
can depend need, when they need it.
Such as during last month, when the character of the weather and
exceptionally steady use of heating equipment created a tremen-
dous increase in the need for natural gas. There was plenty for all.
