as, king bing, every effort will be

nors to the center at the First Me-
inoaist cnurcn. uiaias urges es
pecially ; that donors call irp the
Red Cross in advance and regis
ter for the day they can come. In
this way the numbers can be kept
even so none will have to leave
without having their blood used
for lack of containers.
The blood plasma bank oper
ates with 160 bottles. It is de
sired to have about 180 regis
trants each time because some are
disqualified. The minimum call is
for 140 pints of blood per week
On weeks when the number of
donors volunteering is down there
is danger of falling below this
minimum in plasma.
