MANY NEW
BLOOD DONORS NEEDED
HILLSBORO — Vital need for
many new blood donors for the
county center here became self-
evident Monday when the area
fell short of its 140 pint quota
for the second consecutive visit
of the Red Cross “bloodmobile.”
Only 128 volunteers, 12 short of
the day’s minimum goal, donated
blood Monday. These donations,
together with the 100 pints do
nated March 17, brought the-
month’s total
228 pints, or 52
pints below the 280 pint quota
set for March.
Unless enough volunteers can
be added to the donor list to as
sure meeting the quotas each
month, one of the two visits of
the “bloodmobile” to Washington
county will have to be dropped,
Mrs. F. Abendroth, county blood
bank chairman, declared. "The
blood must be obtained—and if,
this county cannot meet its quo
tas, the mobile unit will be as
signed elsewhere.”

THE POCKETBOOK
OF KNOWLEDGE
The Admiral had known the old
steel worker when he was a boy.
The day before he left Washing
ton, he noticed the name of the
old friend’s son on the list of
Navy seamen killed in action.
So while the great and the
near great waited impatiently in
another part of the city, their
guest of honor sat with the old
Polish couple, gently telling them
the details they hungered for so
greatly, of how their boy ha I
gallantly gone to his death.
Before leaving, the Admiral
took a photograph of the youth
from the mantle, wrote across the
bottom of it: “This boy died a
hero, in the service of his coun
try,” and signed it simply, “Ad
miral E. King.”

try the preference in obtaining

The Bureau of Labor Statistics
is privately a bit skeptical about
the report of the labor members
of the President’s Committee on
the Cost of Living. The labor
members claimed that living costs
had risen 43.5 per cent since Jan
uary 1st of 1941. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics set the figure at
23.4 per cent.
The report of House-Senate
conferees on the renegotiation
law would leave the measure in
force almost in present form. It
has gone back to both houses for
consideration.
Organized labor has begun tak

for conversion of the machine

Ride Sharing
Still Important
Public reaction to our ride
sharing enforcement program has
been varied. In seme areas it is
being developed to an encourag
ing extent. Some local boards
have taken full advantage of that
opportunity to conserve mileage.
Conversely, a few local boards
have questioned the need for
tightening up on car-sharing. It
■is contended there are other
channels of reducing the iss ance
of mileage rations which will ac
complish a greater saving in gas
oline, such as, more restrictive
issuance of non-highway and
transport rations.
We should consider mileage on
the basis of passenger miles in
stead of car miles. For example,
a car carrying only one person
and driven 2,000 miles per month
results in a passenger mileage of
only 2,000, whereas that same
car carrying three passengers in
addition to the driver would pro
duce 8,000 passenger miles per
month.
We suggest local boards devel
op a car-sharing panel. In some
areas the American Legion or
other volunteer groups have un
dertaken such a project. We are
prepared to furnish boards with
i ide-sharing registration .and con
trol cards, comparable to those
ursed by Transportation Com
mittees. Please advise the quan
tity you desire, and they will be
promptly shipped.

Face the facts squarely. — 1.
Gasoline is limited and scarce.
2. Tires, both passenger and truck
type, are short and will be worse.
3. Automobiles are deteriorating
fast and are not replaceable. In
view of these facts can we afford
to overlook any possibility efor
conserving mileage? The answer
is, “No, we can’t.”
