(Acme Telephoto) SOMEBODY CARED Blood Was There When Needed; Supply Short By MARIAN LOWRY FISCHER A child was injured badly in an automobile accident and rushed to the hospital , , , Blood transfusions were needed at once . . . and the blood was there . . . free of charge. A man was critically injured while at work. Taken to the hos pital, blood was needed at once accident . . . and the blood was on hand, free of charge. . A mother .of three was serl ously ill and in need of blood transfusions. Again the blood was available, and free of charge a big item in this case be cause the family was in very moderate circumstances and the charge for two or three pints of blood would have meant a severe blow to the family's bud get. But the blood was there. How come the blood was on hand, and free of charge? Because of the community blood program, sponsored through the American Red Cross. Marion county is one of more than 15 counties participating in the regional blood center operated at Portland. Each month the mobile unit from the center stops in Marion county and citizens of Salem and other communities donate a pint of blood each to help some fellow citizen. The blood Is processed in Portland and returned to lo cal hospitals to be on hand when emergencies arise. There Is no charge for the blood the only charge being an administrative one from the hospital. Supplies of this blood are get ting low, however, partially be cause donors have not been as numerous. Moreover, the blood Is useable for only 21 days, when it is re turned to the center to be pro cessed Into needed blood deriva tives. Therefore, it is essential to have a constant supply of blood, meaning there must be so many donors giving their blood each month. Unless more donors show up tomorrow (Tuesday) when the mobile unit stops here, this area is going to be very short of blood. The unit will be In operation at the First Meth odist church between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Any person inter ested In donating a pint to help some one else in need Is asked to drop In during the hours of the visitation. This Is not Red Cross blood. It is community blood, given in the community for use In the community. The Red Cross In no way makes any money in this blood program it can't. The blood is donated by citizens of the community, and the blood Is given free in turn to those in need of it. The Red Cross is out money each month to keep the blood program going as part of Its pro gram of service. The Red Cross chapter in each county where there is a blood program pays for the rent of quarters where the mobile unit operates, it pays for the equipment needed in such quarters and pays for the canteen service at the unit opera tion. The whole pragram is a case of those citizens of a community who can, giving blood to help others who are in need of such blood. And it'i a case, too, of never knowing when you are going to be on the needing or receiving side don't you want to make sure the blood is there?

M'Quiston Fined $100 for Fracas Arthur J. McQuiston, a state hospital employe, was fined $100 in police court Monday morning on charges of being drunk and disorderly. The charges were lodged against him after he was involved in a fight with Dave Garren. Police officers were summon ed to 375 Market street where the brawl between the two men apparently took place. When officers entered the house they found the place a "complete mess" with a trail of blood and broken glass leading from the living room to the kitchen. Before the officers could complete their investigation, McQuiston ordered them from the house, but he refused to fol low them, pointing out that he could be arrested on the street. When the first aid car arrived to treat the victim, McQuiston was argued into permitting offi cers to enter with the aidmen. The first aid crew treated Gar ren, then took him to a Salem hospital for treatment of small, deep wounds, which may have been inflicted by a knife or sliv ers of broken glass. McQuiston endeavored to elude officers, but, a report on the arrest pointed out. he miss ed a porch step. He had endeav ored to take a woman with him from the Market street address. She was booked on a drunk charge by police under the name of Jane Doe and was later iden tified as Veral Keesling, also of the state hospital. Other occupants of the house at the time of the altercation told police that McQuiston had kicked Garren in the face four or five times. A taxi driver who observed some of the beating was threatened and told to keep his mouth shut. Kitchen Table Egg Hunt Syracuse. N.Y..

Thursday Only STATE J Green Endorses Labor Merger Washington, April 10 UP) AFL President William Green today strongly endorsed the idea of merging all American labor unions into a single federation, but avoided taking a stand on a CIO plan for all unions to co operate politically pending the merger. Green wrote President Philip Murray that the AFL favors formation of "one strong, well established labor organization" in America. But he said he was referring Murray's idea of a political-economic coordinating committee to the AFL's executive cogricil for a decision when the council meets at Philadelphia May 8. Murray proposed last week that the CIO, AFL railroad un ions and other major labor groups join in such a commit tee and also work for organic unity. The AFL's traditional position has been that labor organiza tions should merge first, and mat economic-political coopera tion would follow automatically Town Meeting Debates Bonus A state bonus for World II veterans was the subject of dis cussion Saturday afternoon at the second town meeting of the air. It was defended by George U Reimiller, Portland lawyer, who contended veterans should have it for rehabilitation and to equalize difference in salaries paid most service men and civil ians during war years. "Those who believe veterans need a bonus are misjudging them and discrediting them," said Steve Anderson, Salem at torney, who said also that the Mat. Daily From 1 P. M. NOW! AND TERRIFIC!

Speaking on the subject of "Constitutional Government," Judge Tooze declared that. the framers of the constitution nev er intended that the individual should be controlled by the fed eral government. Such regula tion should be delegated to the state, he said. "Planned economy," declared Judge Tooze, was merely anoth er designation for socialism.
