Red Cross Invites Donations for Victims of Flood 7/24/51 If you have been pitying per¬sons dispossessed by flood waters in Kansas, here's your chance to do something tangible to help them. Weber county Red Cross chap¬ter is participating in a national 'drive to raise $5,000,000 to help re-place some of the personal belong¬ings of flood victims so they can resume semi-normal life. Goal of Weber county is about $2500, said Chapter Chairman Olin H. Ririe. He invites contributors to send or bring donations to the chapter home, 1961 Washington. He said the Red Cross already has allocated $1,000,000 for emer¬gency food, clothing and medical care, and congress has voted $25,000,000 which will be used mainly- to repair roads, buildings, utilities and other general facilities. However, the big job of individ¬ual rehabilitation is yet to be pro¬vided for and present Red Cross resources are not sufficient to meet the challenge. Therefore, it is vitally important that the $5,000,000 goal be met, Riyie explained. 'Disaster' Funds Requested by Lee SALT LAKE CITY, July 21 (UP) Utahns were urged today by Gov. J.

Hill Claims Two Records In Contribution of Blood HILL AIR FORCE BASE — This base today claimed two new records in donation of blood for wounded in Korea, Officials of the Charles O. Sweetwood blood procurement car said the recent five-day ef¬fort. at Hill established new marks for number of pints col¬lected in one day and also a new five-day mark. Friday all previous records were shattered when civilian and military personnel came through with 130 pints, according to Jeanne Lonergan, chief nurse of the car. The weekly record hit a new high when 568 pints of blood were obtained in the five days of operation at Hill. Previously, the largest number of pints of blood taken by the car during a five day period was 484, said Nurse Lonegran. The military blood procure¬ment car, which has been in op¬eration for the last eight months, has been obtaining blood for overseas fighting forces. The car has made stops at cities in Cali¬fornia, Nevada and Utah, To set the new record hundreds of Hillfielders turned out to , share their blood with Korean war victims. On Monday 115 pints were drawn, Tuesday 120 were given, Wednesday 117, Thursday 86 and on Friday the all- time high of 130. "I would like to pay tribute to the wonderful way everyone at Hill field responded." said Miss Lonergan "Toward the close of the blood-giving operation last Friday, a call was made to the training squadron at Hill for a 'few additional' donors to finish out the day. About fifteen min¬utes later we looked out the railroad car and there stood a whole squadron of men holding out their arms." "The whole squadron, 58 men, had volunteered en masse to give blood. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen." At that late hour, the car was only able to accommodate a few of the donors, but the car will pay another visit to the base and will be able to 'tap" more donors, she said. The military car is continuing its tour of western cities to se¬cure blood for wounded United Nations servicemen and is sched¬uled to be in Ogden city next Thursday and Friday, August 2 and 3. 7/24/51 'Bad Blood' Rises With Meat Cost Red Cross Thinks PASADENA, Calif., July 24 (AP) — The high cost of meat is causing bad blood at the Pasar dena Red Cross blood bank. Doctors noted yesterday that there were 55 rejects in obtain¬ing 239 pints of blood. A year ago, the medics said, the ratio, was about 30 rejects. They believe the reason is that the high price of meat is causing housewives to prepare more and more meatless meals. Roasts, steaks and the like are a rich source of protein and good blood, the doctors said.
