Roland Harriman, president of the national organization, sparked the Utah fund drive dur¬ing a visit in Ogden recently. He outlined the growing responsibili¬ties given the Red Cross in recent years and the increased activities it has brought. He said the national blood pro¬gram has called for new fields of work in supplying whole blood for military needs.
