Roley, from 4A ready in your blood, you could give it someone else; but, you will never, ever get a blood borne dis ease, such as AIDS, from giving blood. The needles are more than clean, they are new. Giving blood is a wonderful ex perience. There is some discomfort; but, the knowledge that someone will live more than outweighs the discomfort in giving blood. I have always left a donation center feeling good about what I have done. Giving blood really is giving the gift of life to someone. Giving blood means someone will see an other sunset, someone will hear a son or daughter another day, some one will run and play in a play ground, someone who is special to someone else will live. I know firsthand the importance of giving blood. My father had four by-passes put into his heart five years before he died. The availabil ity of blood made five more years of his life possible. Don't have time to give blood? Well, ask yourself if you have time to receive blood. The next blood drive in Perry will be held Monday, June 20th, at Perry Hospital from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30. If you can give, I hope to meet you there. Give blood. Legal Deadline Is Monday At 12 noon ■■■SSI - ■ *- * * JSWvSPsSSgB '."- ‘4 o - 3 '4f ■■■.
