x PEORIA TATRA, THE KIND OF LINE-UP RED CROSS WORKERS LIKE TO SEE It's this kind or response that makes light work of bloed collecting FIRST THE FORMAL BLOOD TEST A formal check has to be taken BLOOD DONOR RECORD Doing Fine, Could Improve It is well known in blood donation circles that Oshawa has one of the best organized, most successful blood clinics in the province. Since the city branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society took over the monthly clinics seven years ago, sell over 31,500 bottles have been col- lected. Year after year the local clinic has collected the high- est percentage quota of any branch in Ontario Averaging it out, Oshawa is regularly collecting about 130 per cent of its annual quota. Although obviously pleased at the way things a4 going in the city local Red Cross refuses to be complacent about its success The need for blood grows larger every year. And. the..firet.to neal importance of -t fact is local blood donor clinic chair- man Robert Stroud. See It is Mr. Stroud. who has led the campaign for blood in the city for the last seven years, Every year the city hits, and passes its quota. And every year Mr. Stroud pauses for a quick word of congratu- lation -- then promptly hikes the quota. This year, for instance, the local Red Cross is gunning for 6,000 bot : r been done in but it will j assures Mr, Stroud In January 'the clinic got to a fine ste with just 500 bot collected Febr slipped vy and the figure fell to Next Thursday, the next clini¢, Mr. Stroud is aiming far = A April should be even more interesting as the figure al- ready set as the target is 600 ' aT PACKS REPLACE BOTTLES A new system recently introduced bottles. If the clinic can reach this figure it will have set another record. EMERGENCY "Every clinic is an emer- gency," points out Mr. Stroud. "It is no good us sitting here and saying we are above quota, we are doing all right. This is not good enough. We have to keep collecting more and more. "The need for blood all over country is desperate. are times when blood es slip dangerously low. 'his is why we keep the pressure up all the time. If we let it slip, even for a month, then we would have to waste time building up our figures again." Referring to the April quota of 600 bottles, Mr. Stroud said he..is.confident, that. the city will respond to the challenge. By way of promotion, the linie will be adding an extra five skilled telephone canvass- ers to its regular staff of 25. The job of this small band of volunteers is to attract new donors. Through the years it has worked with great effect. Much hard work, however, is going to be needed to get 600 donors for April. The co-operation of city resi- dents is needed. The clinic on Thursday will again be held at St. Gregory's Auditorium. The hours are from 1.30 to 4.30 in the afternoon and from 6 to 9 in the evening. Everyone is asked to make a special effort to attend. Blood giving is quick, effi- cient and painless. The donor is in and out in a matter of 20 minutes. That donor will know_ too, that the pint of blood he has given will help to save a life somewhere." FRESH BLOOD TO FILL THE BANK The need is greater every year Py, a Pcie: eee ONE OF MANY WHO CARE ENOUGH Every pint counts in the fight for life BLOOD GIVING IS QUICK, EFFICIENT AND PAINL A small army of nurses ensure that the donor's work is soon done = Al esd Seawae 4) WKS OSHAWA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1966 Landlord Talks Tenant A landlords' association that would rate the character of ten- ants is attempting to get its foot in Oshawa's back door. The ratings could range from excellent to risky and undesir- able. Guy Bell, a city landlord for the last four years and former teal estate salesman, is one of the organizers of the movement that is exclusively for persons who have rooms, apartments or houses for rent. In an interview, Mr. Bell said he has been working on the or- ganization of such an association in Oshawa for the last three weeks and now has 57 members. MONTHLY FEE To belong to the association, a landlord must pay a $3 month- ly fee. This entitles him to a host of benefits. Some of the benefits he could expect to receive, said Mr. Bell, would include a report on prospective tenants as to willing- ness to pay rent, if they have dirty habits, are destructive or have an alcoholic problem. Each member would be able to purchase receipt books at cost, have acquisition to lists of prospective tenants, receive a t;monthly newsletter in which free '| messages could be inserted and up-to-date information published on undesirable tenants. "Tf a member has a tenant move out while still owing him rent," said Mr. Bell, "'the asso- ciation will do everything in its power to collect." OTHER BENEFITS | Other benefits, although still in the planning stages, are free income tax services, free legal advice on business concerning roomers, boarders or tenants, and reduced rates for fuel oil and insurance. take two follows M. Bell said that if a ma- jority of Oshawa's landlords join the association, "the un- desirables will have only one place to turn -- the landlord who never joined". He said he got the idea to start this association here after talking to a woman who had experienced a similar organiza- tion in Kitchener. Other cities such as Toronto, Belleville and Kingston are in the midst of organizing land- lords' associations too, he said, SASK. ALONE But there is at least one way for the rent-skipping tenant -- move to Saskatchewan. This is the only province in Canada where wages cannot be gar- nisheed unless it is for a bill owing in that province, Undesirable tenants could still find a place to live, said Mr. Bell, but they would be required to pay the first and last weeks' rent in advance and put up a $25 bond fo damages in a rooming house and a $100 bond in an apartment or house. Mr. Bell said that being a landlod is big business and re- quires a sizeable investment that must be protected. For ex- ample, he said the minimum cost for an eight-room rooming house would be about $17,000 with an additional $4,000 for furnishings. On top of this, he said, a landlord must -pay the heat, hydro and water and make continual repairs, "Landlords need an associa- tion like this just as much as the retail trades need a credit bureau," he said. The association would provide membership cards, he said, which should be placed in @ cone spicuous place so the tenants know they have to behave them- selves. He said the membership fee represents only 10 cents a day, "a drop in the bucket for what they will get out of it."
