RIBHMBNI] HILL FAIR MONDAY. MAY 24 VOL. LXIV. Being a Donor is simple but a great responsibility and there are two rules which are most important. Follow the directions on your appointment card most carefully, othâ€" erwise you may spoil not only your own donation but those of the Whole clinic. The blood is pooled for processing. if there is any fat present in it the serum won’t dry prop- erly and won’t keep, so the whole thing has to be discardâ€" ed. If you forget and take some fat fo rbreakfast it is better to phone and break your appointment rather than run that risk. The second important rule is â€" be sure to let the organizer know in plenty of time if for any reason you can’t attend the clinic, then someone may be located to take your place. There should be a list of extras on call for this purpose. We bought Bonds to help the boys, now let us make this small investment as well. It bears no interest except the satisfying thought that it may save a life just as surely as a gasmask, a stretcher or a parachute. SOLDIER’S MOTHER. I know verv well, Neighbors, that if I should phone you and say. “My boy is lying wounded in the Newmarket Hospital and needs a transfusion,” you would say without tllile slightest hesitation, “I’ll get there as fast as the law a ows.” So may I make this a personal plea and say â€" My boy, or any one of the boys in the Victory window. might lie wounded on a foreign battle field thousands of miles from home. , Are you going to become a Blood Donor so as to make possible the transfusion he might need to save his life? And when he feels the‘strength pouring into his veins his thoughts will turn toward home and he will think, “Thanks, Richmond Hill.” If you feel at all doubtful about offering your blood just go to Mansbridge’s window and look at the pictures of our boys who are willing to give every drop of their blood to keep our country free. They realize, perhaps better than we do as yet, how wonderful it is to live where we can hear airplanes overhead and calmly watch them instead of taking refuge in the cellar, where we can send our children to school and have no fear that they will be bombed to death while there, where we still have an abun- dance of good food subject only to the inconvenience of a little rationing. Look at the boys individually â€" there’s Dick and Herbert, Jack and Bill, Harris and Fred, John and George and many, many others who were school boys such a short time ago. We can’t let them down, can we? Two of my sons are there. More blood is needed and needed quickly. In one battle in North Africa there were eight thousand transfusions given and it takes five of our donations for each trans- fusion. It is appalling to think how much will be needed when the invasion of Europe begins, every drop will count. And we on this continent who are still so well nourished and who can sleep in peace at night are probably the only people in the world who are in the proper condition to give it. This is a personal letter to all the readers of the Rich- mond Hill Liberal whether I know you personally or not. When the Mobile Blood Donor’s Clinic came to our village last week I was privileged to be one of the donons and found that there is nothing very heroic about it after all. You just lie there on a table with a competent doctor and trained nurse in charge, feel a tiny prick in your arm, chat with aforesaid doctor and nurse for a few minutes, then climb down feeling none the worse, go into the other room and have unlimited coffee, jam and biscuits vpressed upon you by very attentive helpers. And everyone tells you what a brick you are and you feel just a little bit ashamed because you didn’t start this long ago. There seemed to be an air of disappointment in the clinic so I made it my business to find out the reason, and there was reason enoughâ€"there were only 57 donors when there should have been 80. Richmond Hill agreed to have an eight bed clinic which means that eighty donors must be on hand each time. Six busy doctors gave their whole morning, also ten trained nurses and some fourteen helpâ€" ers, who had also spent the previous afternoon and even- ing preparing beds, etc, to say nothing of those who did the organizing and secretarial work â€" all volunteers. Ima- gine having a stage all set for 80 actors and only having 57 turn up! No wonder they were disappointed. Surely Toronto’s Hlig-hest and Healthiest Suburb can do better than that.

FIRE CAUSED AS ROCKET LANDS ON ROOF OF BUILDING Rockets Banned in Village by Local Order The officers and directors have been busy for many weeks planning the day’s nrogram and all that is now needed for a record fair is a fine day. Such days have been rare this month but the prospects are bright for good weather on the 24th. Richmond Hill’s 94th annual Spring Fair will be held next Monday, May 24th. Although Victoria Day is no longer a national holiday, due to Wartimerestrictions, it has been de- clared a Ci-vic Holiday in Toronto, Richmond Hill and most communi- ties throughout this district, and the usual large crowd is expected to ab- tend the annual Fair. Late seeding may interfere with the showing- of some horses, Ibut despite this handi- cap President R. L. Stiver and the directors have assurance that the showing- of horses willl be larger than last year. The entries in the saddle and hurdle events already are in ex- cess of 1942.
