Cooler in Detroit. Weinfeld was working for his master's degree at Wayne University when he received his "greetings." A Nichols' Worth of Comment On This and That BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) The tem perature was pushing 90 when the Red Cross nurse pushed the needle into my arm. She took a pint of blood, and : it didn't bother me a bit. ; One reason I did -this was because it it seems that a lot of folks think that grv- Haxmon Nichols ing blood in hot weather does them in. The Red Cross needs blood for the lads in Korea and for the folks at home, and the blood bank is running dangerously low. . ' The blood people have been making a survey and have dis- ?-waa covered why you are a little lax in the blood-letting field. Some Folks Scared Some say folks are lazy and also a little scared in hot weath er. There's no need to be lazy or scared. - A Red Cross official said the organization gets these excuses. Farmers -are tired from working in the field all day. Some folks have to take long rides to the nearest blood center. Hot weath er adds to fatigue. . Golf courses beckon on the "tired" business man. and people take off for the resorts. Always Armistice Rumor And, this official said, there always is the rumor there is an armistice in the offing in Korea. The Red Cross has a continu ing operation, come war, peace or fire or high water.

Brown Rot Control Measures Reported ' Peaches should be sprayed or dusted by August 15 for control of brown rot, Agriculture Agent C. B. Cordy said today. Cordy advised use of 60 pounds per acre of sulfur or Ziram dust, or spray with six pounds of wettable sulfur or Wz pounds of Ziram per 100 gal lons. If spiders are present add one-third pint of 20 per cent TEPP or one-sixth pint of 40 per cent TEPP per 100 gallons. The second spray for control of root borer and earwigs also should be applied to all stone fruit trees by August 15. Use eight pounds of 50 per cent DDT per 100 gallons. Soak the trunks and crotches so some runs to the ground. If DDT is mixed with the brown rot spray it will leave a toxic residue on the fruit. and accidents will happen. Farm machinery charts up a sizeable number of serious acci dents, many of them with a loss of human blood. Kids, out of school, get into mischief. They start . fires, get burned or get their feet cut bad ly and need blood. The Red Cross would like you to know that giving blood in hot time is as easy and as safe as in cold time.
