Mrs. Louise Mitchell PENNEY’S WORTH OF THOUGHTS VERA WHITE How good are you at arith¬metic? If it takes 7 pints of blood to save one wounded man, how many American boys in Korea are feeling better this morning because 300 Ogdenites became "suc¬cessful donors" when the Charles O. Sweetwood Blood Car was here two weeks ago? Congratulations, Ogden Donors! Line up alongside Senator Francis Fowles, first Utah Donor. You may not be acclaimed in the Saturday Evening Post as the Senator was, but you certainly found a place in somebody's heart! A life-giving place! Heard the latest on Cali¬fornia Spring styles? You don't have to work out the answer—George Welling, as¬sistant manager of J. C. Pen-ney's and Eldon Crandall, manager of women's wear, spent ten days in Los Angeles assembling that information, George and Eldon were on a buying trip, and it must have been a busy ten days. You should see the things they brought back! Dresses for the women! Sport shirts for the men! A brand new curtain idea for the home! The keys of my typewriter get all tangled up trying to pop up and down fast enough to list them all. Take women's suits for in¬stance—slightly fuller skirts, and the jackets padded gently at the hip line. Smart! And the materials—just beautiful! Beautiful woolens imported from Great Britain, famous name fabrics made in Amer¬ica—Forstman, Juilliard, Mal- lison, Dan River — Penney's has them all. Wish there were space to talk about the quilted cotton dresses, the overplaids in coats. You can see them all for yourself on the second floor at Penney's. All here in time for those Valentine par¬ties. Everything new since January 1st! And don't think that George and Eldon forgot that men want to dress up too. They brought back real glitter in SPARGLO neckties, where a metallic spray makes the de¬sign. George's favorite is the new Metlessi crepe. El¬don likes the monogram ties, with the metal initials clip¬ped on. I'm going to Penney's to¬morrow to buy an ORLY dress. That's the miracle combination of nylon and or- lon that washes like a dream, and is as delightful to wear as a spring breeze. I want a small check in navy—with red shoes and a red hat— Golly! —Be seeing you. 1/18/52 Blood Response Picks Up- Many More Donors Needed Response to the appeal for blood donors has picked up but the num¬ber registered is still less than half the goal Red Cross officials hope to reach during three-day stay of the special blood car which arrives Thursday. Mrs. Harmon Barton, blood pro¬curement chairman for the Weber county chapter, American Red Cross, said about 150 persons have signed. The goal is 350 pints'. One hopeful factor is that several local firms, are recruiting-donors from among their personnel. Special Broadcast In an effort to spark the program, radio station KLO will carry a spe¬cial program tomorrow at ten- thirty p. m. "The armed forces blood donor program is a gigantic effort on the part of the department of defense, in cooperation with the National Red Cross and independent blood banks," said Mrs. Barton. She pointed out that the program has two main purposes: To per¬suade the civilian population to contribute more blood to the armed forces and to collect more blood from service personnel and civilian employes of military bases in the United States. The program is necessary be¬cause the. requirements of Korea have virtually exhausted the de-partment of defense's supply of blood plasma. Building up a new Preserve for use by the armed forces is vital to the defense of the coun¬try. Far Below Requirements A goal of 2,800,000 pints of whole blood must be reached by July of 1952, Mrs. Barton stressed. This will average 300,000 pints a month. The present rate of donations is far below this average. The special blood procurement car will be in Ogden tomorrow, Friday and Monday. Those desiring to give blood are asked to register for an appointment by calling the chapter home, 1961 Washington, dial 4601. The car will be parked at Twen¬ty-sixth and Wall. It will be staffed by trained doctors and' nurses. Hours are: Thursday, nine-thirty a. m. to three-thirty p. m.; Friday, two to seven p. m., and Monday from three until eight p. m. Dr. H. L. Isaksen New Chairman of Red Cross Group Dr. Henry L. Isaksen, of 1548 Ca- hoon has been appointed chairman of the Weber county chapter, Ame-rican Red Cross home service com- mittee. Ted G. Schmidt, chapter chair¬man, said Dr. Isaksen will replace George Bowman who has resigned to accept a post on the chapter board of directors. It was also announced that three j additional members will be ap¬pointed to the home service com-mittee in the near future. Present members are Mrs. Elizabeth Tuel- ler, Loren Kendell, Mrs. Joseph Peterson and. Lyman M. Hess.
