years ago. He gave them to the

of the items published would be
of interest to renders. We are

Rudy took part. Mrs. Homer B.
Latham poured tea for the oc-
casion.

One of the prettiest parties
given recently was that given by
Mrs. L. A. Clark when she very
a progressive forty-two party,
honoring Miss Etta Elliott and
her house guests, Mlssese Mar-
garet Holliday and Onie Ease-
ly of Dallas. Miss Augusta Pierce

OF ACTIVITY
Beginning 1st January, 1952,
ending March 31, 1952. From
board ot directors for informa-
tion to the public.
WALKING BLOOD BANK:
At the beginning of the pro-
gram twenty one months ago
we volunteer help from our hos-
pital in Nocona, made arrange-
ments in various neighboring
communities for public gather-
ings for the purpose of obtain-
ing as many persons’ blood
types that desired to be typed
as possible. With the ages from
18 years thru 59 years. We are
very well pleased and grateful
for the cooperation that we re-
ceived from all communities
! and numbers of persons typed
j in those areas, are Bonita, 20;
j Saint Jo,60; Montague, 68; in
Ringgold, 30; Belcherville, 28;
j Prairie Valey, 22; total. 228..
I With the 1st obtained at the
| Nocona hospital, we have ap-
proximately 400 typed.
This part of the program will
serve a double purpose and will
be in line with programs out-
lined in our civil defense pro-
gram. The project is not only
intended to increase the avail-
able numbers in the emergency
‘‘walking blood bank” but also
to provide persons a knowledge
of their blood type. This infor-
mation greatly expedites trans-
fusion service when the element
of time is the important factor.
Tliis Quarter we have had
three volunteer donors to give
three replacement units to the
Wichita county Red Cross blood
bank, for community obligatiqjfi
resident. Since the beginning of
it we have made 10 replacements
to that blood bank for a local (
replacements to the Wichita
Falls blood bank, six units to
Haris Methodist hospital, Fort
Worth, and three units to Bay-
161- hospital, Dallas. Total 19
units.

(In that day, too, tax collec-
tors were urging the public to
avoid the last minute rush.)
Ernest Curlin, tax collector,
stated that he was ready to reg-
ister cars for the year. He said,
‘‘Please do not wait until the
last day to register your car or
truck, as there are 2,700 motor
vehicles in the county now and
it sure will be a help to the of-
fice force to get as many reg-
istrations in early as possible.”
Tax collectors have turned it
around some now. Come early
and avoid the rush.
