A regular meeting of the Com-
COMMITTEES FOR
BLOOD BANK NAMED
BY CHAIRMAN
With June 21 set as the regular
visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobilo
at Medina this year, plans are
shaping up for a very successful
day. The bloodmobile will be set
up at the Medina Youth Center
from 9 a.m., to 3 p.m., that day,
according to Mrs. Orville Wier,
blood program chairman and her
co-chairman, Vernon Williams.
Other committees named are L.
I), Chandler, Blood I’rogram Pub-
licity chairman; Mrs. John Saul,
Blood Program Publicity sub-
chairman for newspapers; Rev.
E. A. Morgan, Blood Program sub-
chairman for posters and signs;
Mrs. King Stokes, Recruitment
chairniaft- and Mrs. Floyd May-
field is co-chairman; Mrs. J. E.
Justice, Recruitment, sub-chair-
man (business); Allen Keese,
Mobile Unit Facilities; Orville
Wier, Mobile Unit Equipment
chairman; and Mrs. M. R. Le-
Stourgeon, Scheduling chairman.
One hundred, and thirty-five1
pledgers are needed, so here is
your opportunity to help out on
this county-wide program.
In order to sustain a blood, pro-
gram" with pledgers being asked
to give only once a year, it will be
necessary to secure a large num-
ber of pledges. These pledges
are secured by personal contact
with individuals asked to join a
pint a year plan. Those who have
given blood before must he asked
to sign a pledge rededicating
themselves to this life saving
community health program. Cards
will be made available for this
purpose, so won’t you sign up for
one pint a year.
The blood program is a com-
munity health project and there-
fore should he supported by a large
number of individuals, instead
of a few dedicated community
leaders. If just half of the po-
tential donors pledge to give once
a year the comm,unity blood needs
will be met.

NEW MINISTER FOR
BANDERA CHURCH OF CHRIST
Minister and Mrs. Cameron Mc-
Kennon, of Abilene, spent Sunday
in Bandera, when Bro. McKennon
preached for the local congrega-
tion Sunday morning and at night.
They will return to Bandera the
middle of July to become residents
of this city. He has accepted the
work as minister of the local
Church of Christ and will take up
his duties here at that time. Bro. |
McKennon is a forceful speaker
and will he welcomed here. He
has just received his Master’s de-
gree at Abilene Christian College.
Brother Harry M. Melton of San
Antonio has supplied the Bandera
church as minister for the past
year, and will continue to do so
until Minister McKennon comes to
enter upon his • duties. He has
accomplished much good here, and
the only reason for the change is
that the local church wants a full
time resident minister.
