It wouldbea sad day'if someone needs blood and we must say, "Sorry but we Just do not have any: on hand." Then someone's life will; hang In thV balance. Don't iwalt until, it's too late. Being sorry never helped save a life or jtart someone back on the roadto health. Only" human' blood cab save human lives. I can not understand the reluctance on the part of eligible donors to participating in a program that is designed for the protection of the community.

I know that not everyone can give blood, but I also know that there must be a great many eligible donors in the community who could give if they would only. lake the time and trouble, to do so. The Red Cross Bloodmobile Is at the'' Youth Center Building on Canal, and Magnolia Streets, New "Smyrna Beach from 4 to 6 P.M. on. the first Tuesday of eaclr month to receive donors.

In and give a pint of blood so that someone may live. The age limit for donors has been raised. We can now accept donors up to the day before their 65th birthday. Picture Worth Thousand Words By ROGER WINDOM fc Cocoa As badly as we've needed a bus line in Central' Brevard it looks "like' there's no in terest. In defense of this I'd like to say that the reason the Jelco bus line didn't go over very well because they did not publish their routes or schedules sufficiently to.

Inform the public Just when and where a bus 'would stop. Ill bet that if all the routes and stops were printed In TODAY 7 days In a row the response would be tremendous. Look it the answers to the bus Question several weeks ago. What we need Is a map route published. Remember a picture is worth.

All commandments are based on love of these. There Is lots of love In our society, but It' seems to be mostly of self and not of others. Those of us who believe there is a Heaven and a Hell, shudder "to of Judgment Day The lack of concern and common courtesy to others has, bothered me. Tor years and I would like to express my feelings, I realize this is not unique to our day and age, but there must be more Good Samaritans than what there appears to be. Don't get Involved, seems to be Instilled in the minds of people, but what is in their hearts? Why can't people help one another without worrying about getting' sued? Here are a few suggestions for those brave enough to get involved.

Give Mouth to Mouth resuscitation, to a drowning victim, or any person who Is not beathlng. Pull a victim from a wrecked car that has started to burn. Call the police immediately, if a neighbor screams'. If a car breaks down ahead of you, stop and help push them off the highway. If a person is bleiiding heavily from an area that is obvious, apply direct, pressure to stop the bleeding.

Comp To Make Blood Tests? ufem With es' Impassioned by their grief and' Luos the western part of Kenya beat up Kikuyus in their midst. TODAY World Book Scltnc Sarvtci The computer is destined to revolutionize medical practice In part by providing enormous informational resources at the touch of a keyboard. But computers, are not limited to simply processing Information. They can collect It, too, if they are given the proper sensors with which to make' measurements.

A computerized technique has been developed which will identify the five principal kinds of white blood cells. By spotting 'differences in color, shape or texture, the computer sorts out and counts the cells so that their number and condition can be used as diagnostic information on a wide range of diseases. Cell counts are Important In cases of infection or poisoning, in allergies, and in diseases like leukemia and typhoid fever. The sensing' "eyes" used by: the computer are closely related to the "devlcesused create in your television set.

The result is that the computer decides' the shape and color of each cell it "sees." The circuits car, distinguish over 60 different shades of lightness or darkness in each color and also notes the characteristics of the central structure or nucleus of each cell. It then putsl all of this together and decides how many cells of each kind are present on the slide.

The computer can perform to about 95'per cent accuracy in sorting out white cells into the five known types, but it is 90 per cent successful In locating some type of white blood cell amidst vast fields of red blood cells and other matter found routinely in blood. This level of performance is com parable'to that achieved by human operators. If and: when such microscopic blood tests are entirely automated, a significant, part of the $200 million and many thousands of technician hours now going Into! these tests; an nuallyj will be available for other purposes.

Disabled veteran needs money, for bis wife's surgery." ture. Sources reported that Njoroge would probably appear in court again August .5. Police will likely take strong precautions to prevent any rioting by angry Luos. Ten days ago, Vice President Daniel Arap Moi; in an unusual news conference, said that the government believed that the assassination was "a political execution, monstrously conceived brilliantly planned and carried out." In a rather oblique way, Moi hinted that leftist governments might have been behind the act. is riot known whether police had Njoroge in custody at the time Moi spoke.
