Give blood July 7 Did you éver stop to think how many' people rely on you? There's your family, friends and the people at work. But there is one group of people that you probably haveni't even thought of. They are those ini need of a blood transfusion. Whether you realize it or not-, to -thiem, you just rnay represent the différence ¶between life and death. Here's something else to thiiik about. Over 1,300 units of blood are needed every 24 hours, seven days a week in Ontario. It's a difficuit task to keep up,)wîth, but even more so during the sumrmer' months. List year, over 380,000 umits of blood were collected in Ontario. Iii fact, 22 per cent of the blood collected wvas Lsed duringy the suimmer months. We remember 10 do a lot of thiings, before goinig on vacation, and forget to do others. Perhaps, this summner, one of the most important t1bings yotu wilI forget to do is donate blood. That one simple step wvich can nicanl so înuchi to sonie tunkniowni person. It (>fly takes 30 minuites o>f yotur lime. Givingc blood is relaxing., quick and p)erhaps the best o>f ail. .belp)s somneone. A biood donor clinic is being lbeid July 7 from 2 ho 8 p.m. at the Canadian Legioni Hall onl Byron Street Sou th, Wlbitby. Please drop iin. Sonieonle iIl be glad you did.
