The committee came to no de- cision on the brief presented last week by A. J. Heide of the Cana- dian Merchant Navy Veterans As- sociation. He said perhaps as much as one-third of the 3,000 wartime merchant seamen are denied benefits because they are contingent on having signed up in the wartime two-year manning pool agreement.

John A.,Macdona1d (PC—-- Kings) said he doesn’t think'Can- adlans want to put merchant navy veterans in the same cate- gory as armed service veterans. The two groups had not enlisted for the same type of service.

He added there would be a “detrimental” effect on recruiting in any future war if people thought they could enter the mer-

Injured Steel Worker Anxious TO Resume Job

HAMILTON (CP) -— Lawrence (Cat Foot) Myatt of Halifax said from his hospital bed Wednesday he’d another chance at the nearby Burlington Skyway.

“I feel lost on the ground,” the grounded steel-rigger said.

the skyway was five months ago when he plunged 100 feet from the highest span to a sand pit below. Mayatt, who s t a- r i: e d using crutches last week in hospital for the first time, is the only man to have fallen the skyway and lived. Four, others died. .

the incident Myaltl said: “It was the first time I quit the job early.” It was March 7, 4:20 pin—10 minutes before the riggens called it a day.

“I was on the highest span, above the pic“, and all I can re- member is holding on to some wire . . . then I was gone.” 'He suffered head inluries, two broken legs, fractured the spine, fractured pelvis and multiple cuts. The fall has left him slightly hard of heating but he’s still un- dawn-ted.

“I wish I knew when I was com- ing out of hospital,” he said. “I’d love to, go back on the skyway. There’s nothing else I could do. It’s been my life.”

B. D. Clinic At

Junior Farmer members met in the Recreation Centre, New Glasgow, to hear Mr. F.A.S. Jones chairman of Blood Donor Clinics for the Provincial Red

July 30, was to discuss with the group the prospects of holding a blood Donor Clinic sponsored by New Glasgow and Districts Jun- ior Farmers. President,

Robert Rackhavm,

Jones, then showed a film “Pre- scription for life,” which is a true story of blood as used in a large hospital. All Who saw the film realized the great need for blood and the opportunity we have in assisting this humanitarian ser- vice.

LOCAL CLINIC

Mr. Jones spoke with regard to the organization of a local clinic

was an energetic chairman and a committee of will-ing workers, and interested and active members. A survey should be made to make use of every possible inte- rested person who will spread the word of the great need for don- ors.

An active chairman is needed from every organization through- out the districts and co—openation from clergy, doctors and nurses. The 44H Clubs and school chil- dren are always willing Workers and can help spread the news. The Red Cross provide the need- ed materials such as posters, membership cards, flags and films to promote interest.

On the evening or afternoon of the clinic people are needed to provide refreshments and collfee or tea.

N0 ILL EFFECTS

Water facilities are needed. Voluntiers are needed to help the team of Red Cross workers. Young boys can be helpful in setting up beds and in carrying in equipment. Blood donor clinics are the responsibility of everyone if you are in the age group of 18 to 65 and in good health, than you may give your blood and help save a life. If you have been a donor before and do so again you can dispel the fear in the mind of friends as to any ill cflfeclts of giving blood.

If you cannot give blood but have received blood or had, one ‘Of your family receive blood then you can tell your'friends the re- lief in knowing there is a con- stant blood supply available. Not every province in Canada has a free blood supply but mOre blood is needed here. "

If you are poor maybe you have been called on to give 0 don-' at-ion of money to the Red Cross and were embarrassed that you could not give, then here is a donation you may be able to give

you have a car but cannot give blood make your car avail- able to bring donors, WWW no car. . I I People are the only machines which can manufacture. blood. drug stores cannot sell blood, doc- tors cannot make blood, but from that pint of blood which each person can regal-n, in one day there are many, many uses. 100 DONORS _ The quota for the New Glas- gow Clinic would be 100 donors and would be held one afternoon of the week of August 24. There are 4 clinic weeks held on P.E.I. each year and 17 centres take part. P.E.I. is equal to the high- est for all Canada but this is still very low. Only 5 per cent of the popula- tiou'give blood therefore there is

previous records. , Mr. Jones called upon Mr. Bert Blacquiere chairman of Blood Donor Clinic for North Rus- tico Legion. Mr. Blacquiere ex- plained his position with regard to the new clinic. He expressed regret at loosing the large group of donons' from New Glasgow at the North Rustico Clinic, but be- lieved, the overall picture would be better because of the new clinic at New Glasgow.
