New types of successful clinic Whitby the Canadian Red Cross give the gif t of life. the Canadian Red Cross operations are being OF Q!ALf £PLA performed today that weren 't being done a few years ago, and these operations- demand a constant supply of blood. On top of this new in- creasing need, there is the everyday need of blood for emergency surgery, for haemophiliacs, and for cancer patients. It is estimated that 1,000 units of blood are used per day in the Toronto area. Whitby's goal for this Jan. 15 clinic is 350 units and our record clinic saw 414 units donated. These numbers represent ap- proximately one-third of the amount of blood used in Toronto in one day. Become a regular donor and help supply this urgently needed gif t of life. The clinic on Jan. 15 will be held at the Legion Hall on Byron St. S. between the hours of 1 and 8 p.m. Any healthy person between the ages of 17 and 65 inclusive can give blood by a process that takes ap- proximately 45 minutes. This process includes registering, having blood tested, giving blood, resting and having a snack. During the clinic, the donors' needs are looked after by the blue- smocked volunteers who are always cour- teous and helpful. At the January clinic, evening donors will be served their coffee or tea by members of the 2nd Whitby South East guide company.

CONT'D FROM PG. 5 giving their children a "better life."1 "It would be better," I said, "To have those children see life as varied and exciting; to see streets with a variety of people walking and gawking and talking." "And what" I asked, "Is 50 'safe' about life out in subdivision heaven? " Her answer didn't satisfy me. Perhaps it will satisfy you. "If it's so bad, what are you doing here trying to run a theatre? " Good question. But it is because I believe that there is a will to do more than exist with a roof over your head, a supermarket within driving distance, a shopping mail, and a superhighway. And so, when I write about a downtown with spirit, a place for people, I am saying that what we need most is the "lwill" of the people in the city or the town to enrich their lives, to "be" downtown, to encourage activities that are commerce yes, but that are also food for the spirit. Or do you believe that man CAN live by bread alone' THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN0F WHITBY PROCLAMATION LOCAL GOVERN MENT WEEK TAKE NOTICE THAT the week of January 14 to 19, 1985, Is hereby proclaimed as "Local Government Week" in and for the Town of Whllby.
