2 The Newj-Review, Roseburg, 0r. Tuet. Nov. 1, 1955 Bloodmobile Will Visit Here On Wednesday, Thursday 4 If il & I if . -.:f? '"'OKA, , 'W0 PROGRAM The Red Cross bloodmobile will be in Roseburg Wednesday and Thursday in an effort lo fill 300 of the above bottles with rich, warm, life-tfiving b!ood. . Here is a description of the vital, ruby liquid which may save the life of some relative or friend or even the donor himself. Last year. alone, 1,400 pints of donated blood was used lo aid county residents in Immediate need. Mrs. Waller Brittcll, blood re cruitment chairman for the Red Cross, described blood as a "mir acle" in the human system which cannot he manufactured in a lab oratory. The only way it can be secured is from the veins of an other human. Briefly, she said, the body con tains about a dozen pints like that above. The blood is 55 per cent plasma (water, proteins and min erals) and 45 per cent solids (red or while cells and platelets). It comes in four varieties (O, A, B, and AB). This "river of life" courses I through an estimated 60.000 miles of arteries, veins and little capil laries carrying food, oxygen and water, hormones, chemical regu lators, vitamins and enzymes. It also carries off wastes. These are important enough du ties, but still more vital activities are carried on. Blood fights shock, produces antibodies to battle di sease. Three hundred pints of whole blood will help possibly save the lives of 300 people. When converted into its many byproducts, it' will aid 1,125 sufferers. Despite blood's immense im portance, Mrs. Brittell pqinls out, an amount to fill the bottle above is painless to cive and is easily replaced in a healthy body.

T-q.l HOUSEWARES & GIFTS DOWNSTAIRS STORE probation, but the judge gave Pe terson another chance after the youth promised to "toe the mark." In June he was given probation again after pleading guilty to theft of equipment from tractors in log ging operations east of Sutherl'n. Monday, Jake Leicht. district parole and probation officer, tes tified that Peterson quit his job without permission, failed to keep in contact with him and had been giving him more trouble than any other probationer. City police Officer Gerald M. Kane testified to Peterson's recent arrest, with four other youths, on a charge of being illegally in pos session of liquor. Kane said the youths had beer in their car, that Peterson admitted drinking some of it, that the probationer was very belligerent when told he was un der arrest. Charges against the nlher youths are pending in munic ipal court. Dist. Atty. Robert M. Stults rec ommended Peterson's probation be revoked. In view of Peterson's prior record "the situation appears to be one which cannot be super vised," the district attorney said. Revocation of probation granted McAllister was recommended by the State Board of Parole and Pro bation. It was brought out that he had gone to Lewiston, Idaho, to gain employment without getting permission. Also, when first granted proba lion, McAllister. promised to make restitution on bad checks within lio days. Stults said this had nol been done. McAllister, who served time in Idaho in 1945-46 on a big amy count, admitted he knew he was violating terms of his proba tion. As he put McAllister's two-year term into effect', Judge Wimberly said he couldn't understand why people like McAllister act the way they do. "I give probation to these people." he said, hut "they don't seem to care whether they go to the penitentiary or not."
