The Mobile Team of the Cana- dian Rcd Cross Blood 'I‘ransfu.ion service under Dr. Russell leaves this morning on return to the Mari- time.Dopot at Halifax after having quite a successful week in this province when 101 donors gener- ously reported at the Clinics.- Chsrlottewwu nad 452 donors. the R. C. A. l‘. Station at B.mmerside had 196 and Sumlnerside itself had 11'! donors. Although the total is below the quota of 000 donors set by the Maritime Depot for this province, it was considered a good response in View of the unusual weather and the condition of the roads which prevented a great many people living in the szeas surrounding Charlottetown and aummerside from attending these clinics. It can easily be seen that there will have to be much larger numbers attend the clinics when they are held again in three months time because the province will then be very much in debt to the Mari- time Depot. At the beginning of this week's‘ clinics the province owed the null: sss ‘bottles. This means that there are now Just 3'10 bottles toour credit to do until next clinics. All who so generously vol- unteered aa donors during the week must feel quite proud of the fact that their donations will be the means of saving the lives of many of their fellow cir-isens as well as re- storing health to others who would not otherwise recover from opera-

tl?ll, accidents etc-., near y as qu ckly. 'I‘he Red Cross in this pro- vince is most grateful to all who

make this service possib'e by being donors and by giving financial support.
