Life Fluid Aids Sick Lad, Woman Flying and maintaining the na¬tion's war planes wasn't the only function of the U. S. air force dur¬ing the war, and at Hill air force base there are still plenty of men ready to jump into any emergency. A group of enlisted men from the 3081st headquarters squadron at the base was quick to volunteer when donors were called to give blood for Mrs. William Anderson, whose husband is a technical ser-geant in the outfit. Mrs. Anderson was brought to St. Benedict's hospital in Ogden, and soon after she arrived the air force men were on the second floor laboratory to give some of their blood. While there they heard of a young boy, a ward of the Weber county welfare department, who was also in need of blood. "Might as well give him some, too," the airmen decided. They did. S/Sgt. David O. Swanson was in charge of the detail and other mem¬bers were Sgt. Ben Francisco. Sgt. William Keeley, Cpl. Clepin Galle- gos, Cpl. William Gamble, Pfc. Rick Hebner and Pfc. James Billiu. Volunteers were called through the Red Cross off-ice at the air base.
