’ CASTLE NEWS, Castlegar, B.C. * REFLECTIONS GLADYS COLLINSUON It started oe! Before I crossed the Blood Donor Service Ready Throughout Year For Any Emergency The work of Red Cross Donor Committees is not a one day per year affair but continues through- out the year, said J. F. Killough, this morning. Most of the im- ortant events in my, life seem fostart that way. I’m‘iever quite ‘sure just what it is that is about to happen, but 1 do know it is something very.nice and somehow immensely important. This particular morning was no exception, and ‘upon opening one eye, speculatively sure enough the sun winked slyly in mutual agree- ment. Opening both eyes, I be- gan to get that warm rosy feeling ‘which somehow reminded me of pink carnations, eaue cologne, and cherry chocolates. Now this by itself should be enough to create a sense of well being, but some- thing else tugged at my memory too. To be sure I'd just had a birth- day, but remembering just how |= ‘many’ was no cause for elation as I could see it, and it certainly wasn’t Christmas, nor was I leav- ing on a holiday. Anyway, it wasn’t a going-away feeling I had. It was more of a company- coming feeling I had. It was more of a Company- coming feeling I decided. All of a sudden I had it’ it was “Ha company-coming” feeling, and ‘mighty special company tooSud- den realization of this woke me up completely, which is a lot more than. any alarm clock has ever been able to do, and which a glass of fruit juice and two cups of coffee can barely do, and which my dear spouse finds impossible to do. I eee that is why he had that P of the C. Blood Donor Committee ‘at the weekly meeting of the Castlegar Kiwanis Club Tuesday’ evening. Reporting that the Red Cross Clinic members who made a one day stop here for blood donors last June, were quite happy with the district response he. went on to give an example of how the Blood Donor Committee in any community is able to give assis- tance in Tf ed a blood transfusion badly. Her type of blood, however, was not available at either Vancouver, or Edmonton whereupon the local Donor Committee were contacted From their records they learned there were two men in this dist- trict with the blood type. needed. ‘Both had registered for blood don- ations but had been .unable to fulfill their appointments ast June. These two men were con- tacted and their, blood donations helped to save the womian’s life, filling. in’ the gap until additional supplies of the blood type became available. “Thus the work of your Blood Donor Committee continues the year round,” Mr. Killough con- tinued. “With our complete re- cords of registered donors, we are the year. He said that recently, a district woman, in Nelson Hospital, need- sion on his face when I walked into the office this morning on my way to meet the ‘bus, So what if I was two or three hours early. I had to meet a bus, didn’t I and it could come early couldn't it? However, as the boss pointed out to me very patiently, buses never, never, come early they often come late it seems, but never early. If they came early, he went on to explain, it threw their schedute or This d rea- ina to assist in any em- ergency.” . 2 rd. Annual Robson Regatta To Be held’ Sunday Afternoon - The Third Annual Robson Re- gatta, usually a feature of the Robson Strawberry Festival. but postponed this year due to high water and drift wood on the Col- umbia River, is to be held ‘this Sunday afternoon on the Colum- bia in front: of the townsite at East Robson. Some 25 spcedboats lated tal but, I ly, why didn’t it throw their sche- dule if they came late? I was go- ing to ask him about this, but aft- er looking at the patient long suf- fering expression on his face, I decided to table the question un- til a more suitable time. The important thing right now was how to fill in the three hours till bus time, it seemed silly to try to work, with only three hours to spare, and besides it's damag- ing to one’s ego to work when one hes an afternoon off..
