5,983 Bloodmobile Due Tuesday, Nov. 18 The Wellsboro Rotary Club is sponsoring the Bloodmobile visit on Tuesday, November 18 at the American Legion Buifuing at 12 noon until 6 p. m. Dr. Ammerman is Chairman.

The blood shortage i.s critical in Tioga County There are over 2,000 persons in Well.sboro that are eligible to give blood but the quota of 125 pints has not been made this year at any of the bloodmobile visits. Only 47 per cent of the blood assigned to this county has been collected this past year. A one year quota for Tioga County is 1,375 pints. Only 771 pints were collected which gives a deficit of 604 pints. The two county hospitals have used 732 pints 102 pints respectively, a total of 834 pints.

At present Red Cross blood is available for use in the two hospitals only after other areas meeting their quota have been served. Every citizen should realize that this is a community responsibility and should recognize the importance of correcting the situation. The doctors and hospital officials are very concerned for the welfare of patients who need blood. If we do not meet the quota for emergency cases we will again have to ask for blood to which we are not entitled, and only then if the blood is available after areas meeting their quota have been supplied. The American Legion Auxiliary will serve lunch to the nurses and Mrs.

Mary Maynard and Mrs. Robert Scudder are in charge of the canteen. Mrs. Grace Husted is in charge of nurses and nurses aids. Dr.

Robert Bair will have charge of the doctors. Make a date now to give blood at the American Legion Building on Tuesday, November 18 from 12 noon to 6 p.m. Phone your American Red Cross office 6946 for an appointment. Fire Marshals Rezoning County The regular meeting of the Tioga County Firemen's Association was held Tuesday evening at Daggett Fire Hall, with the president, Donald Garrison of Millerton presiding. Representatives of 9 departments out of 17 in the county were present.

County Commissioner Stanley Hamilton attended the meeting. The association, sometime ago, proposed a program, whereby every rural road in the county should have a name and every property a number 'and that this be coordinated on a county level so that each area i the county would do on a uniform basis Commissioner Hamilton explain- that the cost would be prohibitive if the county obtained someone to do the work. It is felt that if each area took this as a local project, the survey could be accomplished without too much expense to anyone. It was suggested that a commission be set up on a county level, to coordinate the project. Mr.

Hamilton readily agreed with the suggestion and offered the support of the commissioners. A meeting will be held early in January, at which representatives of the County Commissioners, the Supervisors, the Volunteer Firemen and the Pennsylvania Department of Highways will be represented, in an effort to launch the project. It is anticipated that this will take considerable time before completion. Eventually, it is hoped that there will be a sign at each intersection of the roads of Tioga county, with the road name and each property will have a number. The first goal is the naming and numbering process, with the present names used as far as possible.

It was pointed out that there are many north roads and west hills so that these will have to be identi fied, to avoid duplication. The purpose is to make it possible to locate a rural property with the least confusion, especially in case of fires or catastrophes, but, in time it will benefit the general public in locating rural properties. Often the Rural Delivery numbers are. misleading as the routes go through so many different sections. All of the radio signals of fire apparatus and portable radios has been revised and a mimoegraph- ed sheet of the revised list was distributed to all fire departments.
