Blood Donor
File Housed
In City Holl
Mrs. Jack Colburn of Post No. 159
American Legion Auxiliary assigns
the urgency of the world situation
and general convenience as the reason
for placing the Red Cross blood-type
file of Mill City blood donors in the
local city hall.
By placing the indexed blood-type
cards on file in the city hall the public
at all times can have ready access
in emergencies to the information
contained in the valuable file, Mrs.
Colburn indicated.
Mrs. Jack Colburn disclosed that
the blood-type file was provided by
the Red Cross from information
gained by the July visit to Mill City
of the Bloodmobile. The American
Legion sponsored the July Bloodmo­
bile.
In view of the fact that Mill City
Chief of Police J. T. King is local
civil defense director and is in con­
stant contact with the city hall and
local means of communication then
logically the Red Cross file should
remain in the Mill City city hall, Mrs.
Jack Colburn feels.
The blood-type file affords an easy
check of local blood types should any
resident of this locale need emer­
gency care, therefore Mrs. Colburn
believes that the public is entitled
tc unrestricted use of it.
